It is not an on-demand release. It is a DVD release, so of course it will be everywhere. Did you not read the review?

FYE? You still go to that expensive store? Best Buy and Wal-Mart usually have new releases at a discount the first week. I miss Circuit City.

I don't live near a Best Buy or Walmart. I didn't know Walmart carried new releases. I have to agree, i think FYE may charge $40

Yes, Walmart carries new releases. They may have it for under $20 bucks that first week. If not, a little over 20. I wish I could save you a few bucks. If you know someone that lives near both stores, have them pick up a copy for you. Don't waste your time at FYE. I forget they are in business at times.

I am 100% positive it will be there. I have more faith in Best Buy because of the selection. Either or, you can't go wrong. You can call both stores to make sure they are there. Let me know how you make out.

I was referring to Walmart since it's a straight run from my house. Best Buy is more difficult for me to get to

So would the DVD only be on the shelves on July 17th? It wouldn't be there on Monday?

BTW: This is the first new DVD release I'm buying since 2007

Why would it be there on Monday if it's suppose to be on shelves Tuesday? Maybe midnight monday evening/tuesday morning, but I don't know.

Ok as long as I can get it before Saturday since that is the day I reserve for watching a entire season of a show.

Called FYE this morning and they said they didn't have it because it was never sent to them. I then told them.,...."Yall need to close down"

I swear that is the most USELESS store on the planet for DVD's and CD's, I didn't bother to call Best Buy or Walmart because they probably won't have it either so I just ordered it online.

Best Buy definitely has it. But if you had to go online, then you did what you had to do. FYE is just a prime example of why online is cutting into retailers. last I heard, some of their stores were closing down.

I always order online because if it isn't a current television show most stores don't bother carrying it plus it is usually cheaper online. You might not get it the day it comes out, but it is always here by that Wednesday or Thursday.

I know the answer; yes, it does. I sent my mom Mission Impossible 88' for her birthday and it was sent UPS Next Day air driver release because no one was home. Request special instructions if you have any ahead of time if possible.

Look at your amazon receipt and try to track it via UPS. That's what I did to see where it was in transit when I sent my mother Mission Impossible a few weeks ago. ups.com

Research. That's all.

I woke up this morning and saw that it left Bristol, PA and is now in transit. It left Bristol, PA 7am this morning. I woke up at 10am so now the wait is on.

The challening thing for me is I live on the 2nd floor and UPS is known for not waiting that long after they ring the bell. Or can act like they did ring the bell and put the UPS Sticker on the door and get back in the truck

I went to several stores in the past week and they didn't have Season 3. Two Best Buys, a Barnes and Noble, a Target, and a Wal-Mart. I have a FYE in the mall near where I work, so I'm going to go there at the end of the week and see if they have it. If not, I'm ordering online.

If Best Buy and Walmart didn't have it why do you think FYE would have it?-lol

Please order online like I did last wednesday. I paid for 1 day shipping so I;m not sure if you want to do that

The strange thing was that Amazon.ca didn't have it listed for sale, but the local Wal-Mart had copies of season 3, so I got it there.

Well, the Walmart in Memphis I went to didn't have it, but instead they had that ridiculous Sony Fan Favorites disc for $5. They also had the Good Times Fan Favorites disc as well. Usually WalMart carries more of these kinds of shows around Thanksgiving and Christmas and at a good price. I hope that I will see Diff'rent Strokes Seasons 1 and 2 there around Christmas then maybe I will buy them. I will probably have to use Walmart's site to store for Season 3.
