Went to Bestbuy today and saw:

Naruto Uncut DVD Box Set 5 Special Edition - $37.99
Inuyasha Complete Delux Movies Box Set (Wooden Box) - $54.99

I might come back to get the Naruto BS 5 SE. I still want the Special Edition better than normal edition.

I bit on the first season Inuyasha Limited Edition, thinking that it would have different packaging or something, and ended up paying a premium for a necklace...

Same for Bleach season 1, if I knew they were going to release the same thing for cheaper without the necklace, I would have waited...

I see Right Stuf has listed the Rumbling Hearts Box Set for $17

any recommendations on this title?

It has good numbers on ANN (AnimeNewsNetwork), are those number well deserved?

Heavy on the melodrama. One of my favorite series from last year. I paid over $50 for the singles and didn't rue it. Easily worth $17!

Yeah, I forgot about those for Wal-Mart B&M. Regardless, it's YMMV on the first 2 sets for either InuYasha and/or Naruto.

I also recommended. Like what SBJ said, it's heavy on melodrama.

For others, here is the TRSI link as now it's now in the Bargain Bin...

Not a bargain, but an interesting tidbit that I stumbled across today that I thought was worth mentioning. IFC is airing Hell Girl for free if you have Cable OnDemand. My cable system(Charter) is currently running episodes 6 through 11(perfect for me since I only have volume 1 on DVD).

You have a bad link here. Due to affiliate linking with DD and the forum, people who edit/preview DD hyperlinks will get a weird bad link.

As for the so-called pre-order date, it's actually normal. Every and then, DD place allocated products on alternate release dates. It usually occurs to products that are part of a sale/promotion.

And here is a working link:
Samurai 7: Complete Collection (Viridian): $25.89

This is most likely a big YMMV, but I picked up a copy of the Beck: Complete Series set at FYE tonight for $29.99; there were a number of copies, all stickered as such. It's going for $60 on their website, and is still over $40 everywhere else...
