This week's flyer states "low price" but I have confirmed..

http://entertainment.circuitcity.com..._id=V+++286672

$15.99 is the price it will be on Friday.

I still don't understand what makes this movie so special as to where it comes out on a Friday as opposed to the normal Tuesday.

My Hastings already had some behind the counter. not selling 'em yet, though.

Can't you get it for free if you test drive a Kia?

I rather buy the dvd then get in a Kia.

I completly agree. Made that mistake a few years ago, was afraid for my life.

Two words for ya... The Incredibles. Dreamworks did the same thing when Monsters Inc hit theaters (they released Shrek 1 the same day). Didn't really do much damage, people bought the DVD then went to the theater to see "Monsters Inc."

Hopefully that explains it to you.

Now that's smart. Double the profits. Shrek 2 will sell a truckload, and I've been wanting to see The Incredibles.

I wonder if there's some sort of Incredibles thing in there, such as a ticket to go see the movie or whatnot..

Uhhh... dude, hate to break it to you but... Dreamworks is NOT related to Disney.

Where did I say it was?

EDIT: Whoops. It's a Disney/Pixar thing. I thought Pixar split from Disney.. must've been Dreamworks.. I dunno. Thanks for the correction, though, my fault.

I'd rather get it for free. I've been in Kia's before.

Yeah and they've actually improved the safety for them quite a bit, infact I'm actually tempted to buy one.

Yeah, my mom was looking at the Santa Fe's.

Pixar is splitting from Disney, but they are still under contract with them to do one more movie after The Incredibles.

When Dreamworks had a hit with Shrek a little rivalry began to emerge between Pixar/Disney and Dreamworks. As previously mentioned, Shrek was purposefully released on the same day Monster's Inc. was in the theatre in the hope they could cost Disney some ticket sales. As previously stated, it didn't exactly work .

Flash forward a bit and Dreamworks has a set release date of November 5th for Shark Tales, and it has been that for several months. Then along comes Disney and says, "were going to release The Incredibles on Nov. 5th too." Dreamworks knows they can't compete with the Pixar name so they are forced to re-arrange their schedule and move the film (and marketing, promotions, merchandise) back about a month.

In response, Dreamworks is releasing Shrek 2 on dvd on November 5th to try to take ticket sales away from the Incredibles.

Kias are actually made by Hyundai now, so theyre not too bad.

What an effort though, it's better to just buy the damn thing.

A little off-topic, but does anyone find it a little odd that on the Shrek 2 DVD case, it says "#1 Comedy of all time"?

I think it is because of this.

Best Buy also has it listed for $15.99 on their website. Wal-Mart has it for $17.88 or so.

Looks like CC or BB will be the place to go to get it.

Best Buy also has the free bonus DVD-ROM with purchase but the description of what is on it sounds really lame (some Counting Crows live performance, weblink, and some kiddie stuff). No big deal to miss out on that.

I rather buy the dvd then get in a Kia.

when I went to do it, they took down my info and gave me the coupon to get it... no test drive needed.

I just said I saw that you get Shrek 2 if I test drive your car. He said you probably aren't looking for a car. I was like yea. He then just gave me the coupon.
