|  #1 Posted on 29.6.12 2257.49 | Instant Rating: 9.39 | Hello.
With the Independence Day holiday on Wednesday, there is a BIT less out on Tuesday than usual, especially in the way of big name movies, but nonetheless we still have 170 new DVDs, 24 Blu-rays and 10 "digital" titles to tell you about.
Watch the dates carefully! A lot of stuff isn't actually out on Tuesday, but later in the week - right up to "Game of Thrones" out on a rare Monday release. (Release dates are listed in parentheses on those titles not coming out 7/3!)
As always, more info awaits you through a variety of icons and links. I should add that if you click through to Amazon via us and these posts, we will receive a small pittance by way of referral, with which we use to pay the Server Man.
Prices are almost always at their lowest prior to release, so get spending RIGHT NOW
STARTING WITH....
OUR PICK OF THE WEEK
There could be only one, of course...
WWE: No Holds Barred (The W at Amazon) (1989)  Hulk Hogan - sadly devoid of extras but let's face it - you will still buy it if you're a certain fan - and I'm sure all them Zeus matches can be found on YouTube anyway, right? Of course, no website, but here's a WWE.com photo gallery
