re: Walmart / walmart.com discounts and deals on Blu-ray
I hadn't been to my Walmart for a few weeks and gave the electronics section my once-over. It looked like the same old same old stuff, so I bought nothing. I was actually looking for some of the following BDs that are 2 for $12 at Fry's this week: 7 Seconds, Are We Done Yet?, Blood & Chocolate, The Craft, The Devil's Own, The Grudge (2004), Hitch, It Could Happen to You, The Legend of Zorro, National Security, Roxanne, Running With Scissors, RV, SWAT, So I Married an Axe Murderer, Vertical Limit, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, XXX, XXX: State of the Union
Guess how many of the above BDs I found at my Walmart: 0!
At Target I found 1 (Vertical Limit). They said (as expected) I couldn't PM a 2 for $12 deal if I only had 1.
It's sad how most stores carry so little in stock, especially any title older than 6 months. Fortunately any of the above that I really want I already have on DVD, but a few would've been worth upgrading at $6 each. My only other choices would be drive to Fry's (at least $5 in gas and 30 minutes of time) probably to find what I want OOS, or go to my all-time favorite store BB and hope they PM a 2-for sale. At least I can't imagine even BB's BD inventory could be worse than Target or Walmart's (at least not yet but last I heard BB was thinning their BD inventory too).

It's obviously a YMMV situation, dealing with different stores, but I know that my local Walmart is set to roll out an entirely revamped DVD and Blu-ray floor display on Tuesday, and they're removing at least half of the titles that have been available for the last several months. Your store may be due for a Spring re-set as well.

I know that D stands for delete on the shelf tags and those items will soon be off the shelves, but does anyone here know what TI stands for?

One oddity was that they had the Saw I-III triple pack on the shelf, which I've heard about being in-store at other Walmarts for months now. This is the first I've ever seen it here, but it has the October 2010 promo sticker on it! I didn't see a shelf price on it and anyway we have the first two already so I wasn't interested enough to scan it or ask anyone about it. I just found it amusing that they would just now get around to putting that on the shelves here as part of the reset.

I got the two Alien vs. Predator movies on BR for $10 each.
I went to Best Buy this morning and the exact same ones were $30 and $20 each. Saved $30 by getting them at Walmart.

re: Walmart / walmart.com discounts and deals on Blu-ray
I saw Secret of NIHM and All Dogs Go To Heaven at my Walmart (1604 & 281) for $10 each and each came with $10.00 of Hollywood Movie Money towards Rio (April 15th).
I picked up SoNIHM.
Amazon says that they come out on 3/29/11. Whoops.
Maybe this should be it's own thread.

Thanks for the heads up on the $6 blu's. I know a week or so ago they popped up on the website and was hoping that they might show up in store since they were due a change in inventory.
My wallet however, does NOT thank you.
Will probably pick up 'Young Guns', 'Near Dark' and 'The Relic' - hopefully my store has these out in stock. They aren't exactly reliable and their blu ray section is spread all over the electronics dept.

And every time anyone mentions the old Stargate BD, one must warn that it has a reputation as a pretty bad transfer for a BD. I haven't seen it on BD myself as I paid a little more to get the newer release.

You can see these codes on the white stickers on the top right of most all the dvd/blu's.
The only thing you need to worry about when you see these letters pop up on the shelf tags is the "D" (that means that it's going to be deleted). You'll have roughly 2 weeks or so to get it before it disappears and they do the new reset.

I just seen the display this morning at Wal-mart. The Stargate in the display is the old version, but the picture(s) on the box show the 15th Anniversary edition.

I've stopped by two walmarts and encountered the same. Anniversary Edition on shipper, but old Extended edition actually in the shipper. I guess they just posted the wrong picture.

And I don't think they've changed their catalog inventory in six or seven months; I still see the same shit they had out last fall.

The good thing about a blu-ray floater is it has a much better chance of not being scratched than a dvd floater. I don't know if there's anything I would want at Sideshow Collectibles, but let us know if the code is still good.
