The Virgin in Union Square has the regular one. I bought it there earlier, and there were about 10 other copies. Unless they sold out within the last four hours.

EDIT: They were in the musical section of the dvds, for the record. It took me forever to find them.

I don't think they had too many copies anywhere
I know at the FYE I worked at they had 2 copies, at Target they had 2, and at Barnes and Noble they only had 1, so good luck everyone!

Came home from school today, and it was on my desk!! I was jumping up and down. Anyways, I just finished watching the Final Days on Broadway special. It was very emotional, everyone should see it. I still haven't watched the actual performance.

Union Square is sold out now too. I wonder why there is such a big shortage!

UglyBetty - Try Target, if you haven't.

Yea- Target requires quite the adventure to a far of neighborhood. I still can't believe I can't find it- and I work in Times Square. This is crazy.

""This is not true at all and was only relevant when the PS3 was first released."

Nope. Market share is hovering around 12%. Blu-Ray won't be the dominant format until players are cheaper...and there doesn't seem to be any rush to do that. And MOST people do not have 50" HD TVs, so video-quality is not really going to be relevant to them. The fact that blu-ray players were on Christmas lists shows that people don't really want to buy them themselves. The cheapest ones are still over $300.00. Blu-ray discs are $29.00 when on sale, which is the retail price of a regular dvd. So I stand by my statement. While blu-ray player sales are up, if they hadn't been included in the Playstation 3 then they would most likely be stganant"

Unless you are blind, you should notice a difference on any HD screen. And Blu ray players can be purchased for well under $300 these days

DVD will be the new VHS in several years.

I just got the DVD online from Barnes & Noble for $14.54 total, including tax and shipping, which I think is a pretty good price.

anyone know if Super Stop & Shop would have it? it's the closest store (that sells dvds) in this dumb little CT town. and i can't drive yet so my parents think it's too late to drive 30 mins to the nearest walmart (and/or target)

is there anywhere in Midtown NYC that will have it on DVD?

[dg22894]

Posted: 2/3/09 at 6:30pm

Anyone Check Borders. I do not have mine.

[BrianIdol]

Posted: 2/3/09 at 6:42pm

UPDATE:

-Borders near Penn Station and Borders in Columbus Circle only have Blu-Ray

-Barnes and Noble on 5th Avenue does have it on DVD

What extras are included on Blu-Ray that aren't on the regular DVD version.

I pre-ordered mine from the Playbill Store, and it was in my mailbox today! I paid $18.95 plus $4 shipping and handling plus sales tax for the widescreen, non-Blu Ray DVD, so it wasn't the cheapest buy out there. But I consider it a value. I would rather spend a few extra dollars to have it delivered to my home than run around NYC trying to find a copy in stores. Time is money, and I just don't have the time.

Just a quick question: Does anyone know if Walmart is selling the DVD? Just wanted to know so I could check there since it's closer to my work. If not I'll go to Target.

[EnWashingtonHeights]

Posted: 2/3/09 at 8:08pm

I got it and it is great! I think Target is the cheapest for DVD

Posted: 2/3/09 at 8:09pm

I'm mad, cause I'm on the documentary section and I can't see it until Sunday

[mywonderwa11]

Posted: 2/3/09 at 8:37pm

I just bought it on iTunes on my MacBook, but I can't find it anywhere! How do I download it after I bought it? I'm confused...

[binau]

Posted: 2/3/09 at 8:41pm

A tab on the left should say "Downloads" and it should be downloading. Also look in "Recently Added".

So I've started to watch it, is it me or has the Audience been cut down a little? At least, for a last performance the Audience is rather baron.


Maybe I'm just expecting a MTV Legally Blonde take two :P.

I have a blu-rey on a non HD TV and I notice a difference.

[mywonderwa11]

Posted: 2/3/09 at 8:50pm

Well, it's not in the movie section of my iTunes. My online bank account doesn't show the transaction. I never got the email receipt. And it's not listed under "Purchased" or "Recently Added" on my iTunes. I'm guessing I didn't actually buy it...? lol

Try again?

[binau]

Posted: 2/3/09 at 9:10pm

Yes kind of sounds like you didn't buy correctly :-/.

[wizard2joe]

Posted: 2/3/09 at 9:23pm

yea that happened to me before
i was lik did i buy it?

[ashley0139]

Posted: 2/3/09 at 10:44pm

Can't wait to get mine. I'm hoping the Barnes and Noble on 3rd and 53rd has it so I don't have to venture any farther.
