I, obviously, cannot include EVERY title released in a given week in the RoundUp. The titles included are those that I am interested in…as well as those which I consider will be of interest to a majority of consumers (and sometimes I’ll miss one!). I don’t get paid for this, and I don’t have the time to list every DVD. So, please don’t complain! If there is a title not included in the RoundUp that you want to see, PLEASE just look it up yourself, and be nice enough to post and share the results with everyone!

 

The Specials

–Best Buy will have an EXCLUSVE STEELBOOK 4k/UHD release of Incredibles 2.  No price given, however.

–Best Buy also has the following Blu-ray STEELBOOKS on sale for $14.99:  The Polar Express, A Christmas Story, Elf, and National Lampoon’s Christmas Vaation.

–And the following Blu-rays are $9.99:  How the Grinch Stole Christmas (feature film), Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (TV), Home Alone, It’s a Wonderful Life, Frosty the Snowman (TV).

–Target this week has an EXCLUSIVE STORYBOOK with its 4k/UHD versions of Disney’s Incredibles 2.  The price for the Limited Edition Storybook version will be $32.99—which includes a premium over the Standard 4k/UHD edition (which will also be available, but they neglect to list the price in the ad).

–Target is also advertising an EXCLUSIVE STORYBOOK with its Blu-ray versions of Disney’s Christopher Robin.  The price of the Limited-Edition Storybook version will be $27.99—which is $5 more than the cost of the standard Blu-ray at Target.

–And Target also has an EXCLUSIVE RELEASE of Strange Things: Season 2 at their stores.  The 4k/UHD (+Blu) version is priced at $29.99.  A standard Blu-ray version is $24.99.  It looks as if Target is continuing its VHS-style packaging which it featured with its Season 1 EXCLUSIVE.

Thanks Mike!

I'll be picking up:
  • Incredibles 2 on UHD, since it's the only way to get the original theatrical presentation -- the regular Blu-Ray and the DVD have been altered because the strobe effect in several scenes caused problems in theaters.
  • I picked up the Target exclusive Blu-Ray of "Stranger Things" Season 1 before the 4k Target exclusive was announced. Since the Season 2 4k release bundles both together, and since Netflix originals are true 4K, that's a no brainer.
Superman: The Movie is a must down the road when the price drops.

Thanks, Mike. Superman on UHD will be an eventual purchase when the price drops. I may just rent Incredibles 2, though, as Disney just hasn't been dropping their prices much.

I'll be picking the UHD version of Incredibles 2 as well, Adam. I totally missed it in theaters.

I missed Christopher Robin, too. I'll be picking that up as well--old school, as Amazon forces me into brick & mortar mode. I'm really looking forward to that one. We have a soft spot in our household for the Pooh characters.

Incredibles 2 on UHD. I have yet to go 4K, but I'm future proofing on a few select titles.

Also--I had heard rumors that the strobe scene on the blu-ray is altered; if that's true, will the UHD disc have the original?

Big buy week for me with Incredibles 2 and Christopher Robin among the purchases. I'm supposed to review Sherlock on UHD and Elementary on DVD, but neither has arrived yet, ironically both series about Sherlock Holmes!

Thanks for the RoundUp!

I can’t find any verification that both ST seasons are included

Reading it back, I see my wording was ambiguous. I was trying to say that the Target "Stranger Things" Season 2 UHD has both UHD discs and Blu-Ray discs included, not both seasons.
Ahh. Damn you!! :P

A slightly belated thank you for your work, Mike! My computer was being repaired, which is why I haven't posted for a couple of days.

Anyway, you can tell it's the fourth quarter, because there are way more titles that I want than I can get.

Incredibles 2 is on the top of the list to get this week. I'll head to Target for that, but I'm only going to get the standard edition. The digibook would not match packaging-wise with my copy of The Incredibles, and that's important to me.

Christopher Robin, BlacKkKlansman, and The Producers musical Blu are going on the "eventually" list.

Especially considering the $22.99 price on each, Disney really should have done a "Buy both and save money" combined purchase deal on Incredibles 2 & Christopher Robin. That would probably have pushed me to get both this week, but as-is I can only do one right now.

Just a heads up: This week's Best Buy flyer is misleading. It says "Incredibles 4K movies starting at $27.99", so you might think (as I did) that the Incredibles 2 UHD release was $27.99. However, it's actually the UHD release of The Incredibles (the first movie) that's $27.99. The Incredibles 2 UHD release is $29.99.

The ploy worked though, because it got me to Best Buy to make my purchase instead of just grabbing it at Target while I was there for the exclusive "Stranger Things" S2 UHD+Blu-Ray release.

Speaking of, this is a pretty impressive package. Instead of just going with a box that's shaped like a VHS tape from the side, this is a real case that opens and from the outside looks like the old plastic video store rental VHS cases did; it even has the velvety plastic those had on the outside. The discs (three UHD, three Blu-ray) are stored inside the fake VHS cassette.

However, it's actually the UHD release of The Incredibles (the first movie) that's $27.99. The Incredibles 2 UHD release is $29.99.

And I saw that deceptive text and noted what they were doing. But then, in my haste to enter the Best Buy info to this week's RoundUp misreported the price of their 4k/UHD Incredibles 2 anyway. I have fixed that price now in the grid. Thanks, Adam!

It's too bad that BB has resorted to this confusing, misleading tact in their flyers rather than including simple, factual prices for their product. It is now the rule rather than the exception with their media and THAT is sad.
