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.

Are you sure it will be there? Do I need to call first because it will be a very long ride but I;m willing to do it if it's in the store

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

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.
