The sale ends on the 23rd, so ordering Wall-E with the discount shouldn't be a problem (although you might run into the out of stock scenario).  I'll end up placing three orders in total:

Order #1 - Batman: The Complete Animated Series, Mask of the Phantasm, Rodan / War of the Gargantuans, All Monsters Attack and Terror of Mechogodzilla

Order #2 - Kung Fu Panda / Furious Five and Hellboy II

Order #3 - Wall-E

Anything else worth getting with the Wall-E order next week?  Tropic Thunder worth a blind buy?  How about Forgetting Sarah Marshall?  I was always interested in seeing that one, but after seeing the pic of Kirsten Bell having acrobatic sex in the latest issue of Playboy, my interest has risen more.  :P

Just picked up Wall-E from Target.  Forgot about the free seedling thingy.  Didn't Circuit City have a Rubick's cube or something?  Oh well.

Does streaming movies count? We netflixed the King of Kong, a fist full of Quarters to the xBox. Great documentary. Can't recommend it enough.

We picked up Wall-E last week, and just got a chance to watch it over the weekend.  This is one that we didn't make it to in the theaters this year - and I have to say I really enjoyed it.  I think it might be one of my favorites of the Pixar movies.

Also, if anyone buys the Kung Fu Panda DVD and watches the Secrets of the Furious Five, it was created by the GG side of the studio I work for, and everyone is very proud of how it came out.

EDIT:  Turns out our guys only did the full CG parts with the students - the majority of it was done elsewhere.  Either way, everyone is still proud of how it turned out.

My kids and I watched the Secrets of the Furious Five last night.  Very well done!  I personally like the animation style better with the students than what was done for the individual characters.

I picked up the 3-Disk Prince Caspian yesterday, for $30. I think the blu-ray was cheaper... :-X

I saw The Dark Knight at a local coles store. it was the single disc version..was kinda surprised to see it considering it shouldnt be out till next tuesday! If they had the Blu-ray I would have bought it but they did not so they dont get my money.

Is it just me or does it seem like this year, the last 2 or 3 months to be specific, we've seen a lot of DVDs break the release date?  The new Star Wars sets jumped the gun at Target, Kun Fu Panda had an odd release date anyway but I found it early.  The boxed set of "Charmed" came out early at my Target and now you've spotted the Dark Knight 5 days early.

I don't remember ever finding a DVD early till this year and now I've seen at least 3 and heard of more.  I'm starting to think the stores are doing it on purpose to generate foot traffic in the bad economy.
