New Release Price Comparisons - Week of 8/01/10 to 8/07/10
Well, I didn't notice until Wednesday that I didn't do a thread for this current week. I was just going to skip it, but then saw that Annie had emailed me some stuff, so I'll share it here.
I'm thinking of retiring from this task actually. I never buy new releases, and while I know that several of you appreciate these threads, the vast majority never even look at them.
I'll go ahead and do next week's data later today, but not sure about the future.
All the below compiled by our Snausages.

Correction Toys 'R' Us James and the Giant Peach is $29.99. My bad ...not Trevor.
As for the new release price comparisons, I respect your decision but I will be the first to say I will miss it terribly. I've always appreciated and check it every week religiously. It will be a sad sad day.

I'm probably just having a bad month and shouldn't have said anything. I swear I'm not trying to pull a Favre and get attention. I'll finish next week's stuff tomorrow and hopefully get over this funk soon.

Work begun on next week's thread/tables.
Late edit to add for clarification: I've "retired" from this task after a few years of doing it. If anyone else ever picks up the task, feel free to use my formatting. Personally, I never pay more than $5-10 for a BD or DVD, everything drops within a year it seems. Much of DVDTalk appears to have gone this patient route as well, so these weekly threads seemed a bit wasteful.
