$50.00 DVD set!!!!

Sam's Club has the 5 disc DVD set for $50.00

Why do you have to be a member to go inside that store?

sweet, i'm a member at sam's. there's one about a mile away. -Pat

Sams is a large discount warehouse type of store, like Costco, BJ's etc., and they have have a policy of charging a membership. I have no axe grind one way or the other, but with the savings you can usually regroup the savings real quick. Find a neighbor or friend that belongs and go with them.

i just looked online 65.99......does sam's club online store cost more than a physical one? do all sams' clubs have the same prices. my mom is a member of sam's club....and it's closer to her house than costco.

All I can tell you is that I was in Sams Club today in southern New Jersey, and they had a big display of the 5 disc Godfather DVD's for $50.00. Check out your local Sams and see if they have them. I might add its not in the orginal box set, the DVD's are in a smaller package. So if that makes a difference to you, spend a $100.00 and get the boxed set.

Wal-Mart, and its affiliated Sam's Club, sometimes censor some of the movies and music they sell. This one (in different packaging) MIGHT be a sanitized version.

Barnes & Noble, a reputable bookstore, has a website from which you can order books, music and movies, and it sells the "Trilogy" DVD set for $67.48. I'm sure there are some cheaper prices around; take the time to look for them.

I have never heard of them selling "sanitized versions", complete censorship Yes, but to go through the hassle of producing "santized" versions, this is a new one on me. With a 30+ Classic such as the "Godfather" I would doubt very seriously they would alter it at all.

By far and away the world's largest retailer, Wal-Mart has such an influence on manufacturers that many companies (including music and film producers) sell them sanitized versions of their products.

Theres an excellent article on Wal-Mart's power in the October 6th issue of "Business Week".

I can't, and won't, say for sure that their differently packaged version of "The Godfather Trilogy" DVD is an altered or editted set, though.

There is no doubt in my mind that a company as large as Wal Mart can and does have influence on other companies, but I suspect that basically has to do with pricing. When they buy merchandise in large volumnes, they can get large discounts, and even their own packaging.
I dont think the people they do business with are going to compromise the quality of their products for Wal Mart. Since the Godfather films have minimal nudity and language, I really dont see why they would santizie the product. In fact the violence would be the most objectiable parts of the film, and they are quite tame by todays standards.

Costco has the set for $49.99 item #407428
Did not see it online, but the brick n mortar Costco's have them.

I would imagine that its the same set that is being offered by Sam's Club. Its proably out now for the Christmas season LOL.

At least I finally got someone that also saw the low price

I got mine for 45 at wal mart.

I have tried to findf it at Sams..which one did you see it at?

Which Sams club?

Its for sale at the Sam's Club in Cinnaminson, New Jersey, which is in the South Jersey/Philadelphia area.

I got mine for $90 AU. dont know what they converts to, but thats not too bad i think.

I heard somewhere that a new DVD collection of the Godfather films are being released next year because the current one right now isnt good

I still havent opened mine or looked at it, if this is the case, Ill take mine back, wait for the better reproduction.
