Retail is $26.95.

Also just announced from Universal is The Fast and The Furious Tricked Out Edition.

Available in separate 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen and full screen versions, both include Dolby Digital 5.1 surround tracks, "The Road 2 Fast 2 Furious" featurette starring Paul Walker, a behind the scenes peek at "2 Fast 2 Furious," video vignettes including never before seen stunts, a transformation of stock car to customized car, hot car casting for "2 Fast 2 Furious," and a making of the video game, plus filmographies and trailers.
