Re: Wal-Mart black Friday ad
Screwed up, didn't realize the BF ad is already posted in the regular Wal-Mart bargains thread. Mods, feel free to close or merge thread.

Re: Wal-Mart black Friday ad
Pretty much already own everything I want from that list of $5 titles, and the only $10 title I would get is Fast Five. However I have the patience and enough of a backlog that I can wait until it is $5 next Thanksgiving.
Note they do say other titles available so most likely this is about half of the ones they will have based on the # of titles they sold last year. So just maybe there will be some $5 titles for me. I'm looking at The Crow specifically to be one off those hopefully.

Re: Wal-Mart black Friday ad
^ Agreed. Otherwise the other WM thread will just get filled with Black Friday talk. We should keep the BF discussions separate.
Definitely a few good $5 deals, all of which I already own of course. So if this is truly it, I can skip WM this year. I'll have to check out the entire ad to see if there is anything I want from other departments...

Re: Wal-Mart black Friday ad
I usually post where I see more discussion even though I agree keeping the BF BD discussion in a separate thread is probably best (as it will become full of BF stories and speculation). :-) Maybe if it's not too much work a moderator can move the last page or 2 of the Walmart BD bargains thread above into this thread?
EDIT: Having looked more closely at the BF ad, now I'm even more bummed about BF (I look toward BF with more dread than excitement because it's too much work, stress, and time-consuming)...
They're starting at 10 PM Thursday this time! I guess they don't want me to get any sleep Thanksgiving night or BF morning, do they? I preferred 5 AM before, but then it was midnight. I thought no stores would be low enough to move it any earlier on Thanksgiving, but here we go... 10 PM. Next year 7 PM. It'll keep creeping earlier and then I can kiss off both Thanksgiving and BF as being able to get sleep or accomplish anything else. Reminds me of political primaries... every state keeps moving them earlier and earlier in the "me first" game. Or how people now put up their Christmas decorations after Halloween... it used to be after Thanksgiving. <Sigh>

Re: Wal-Mart black Friday ad
Actually I think they have been doing this for the last couple of years. Last year I got there around 11 PM or so and the DVDs/BD's had already been put out.
WM is about the only place (besides maybe Big Lots), that I make a habit of going to. (Usually I go on Wed to Target and buy what I want and then PM Fri morning) I only see three titles I want (and since they are advertised, they will probably be Lightning Deals at Amazon). But if past years are any indication, this is only a small sampling of what they will really have and it will be worth the trip.
There is a bit of stress having to weed through all the threads, hoping you can get the deals and spending countless hours on the computer. I'm thinking this year may even be worse. On a side note, has anyone heard anything about free Prime at Amazon. I can't believe they would cancel that promo, esp. since Best Buy is offering free shipping this year.

Buried on the last page three Disney films for $16.96 starting 8 AM:
Cars 2
Lion King
On Stranger Tides
Anyone notice the full price Amazon Kindle products? What a lame BF ad.

Wonder if they messed up and put the blu in place of the dvd.. Nothing in this ad stands out, but I might go anyhow just to see what else the assortment is all about.

Meh..nothing to get excited about. The only thing I'd pick up is Fast Five but I'm not going out to Walmart on Black Friday just for that. I own mostly everything else I'd want.

And since it says "more titles available" this for sure based on last year's # of titles it is just a small sampling. For the $5 titles they only showed like 10 in the ad but said over 60 titles at that price. This year they are not specifc but at the very least I am going to assume this is just half at the least.

Re: Wal-Mart black Friday ad
There will be more titles than what is pictured... though the lack of any titles on the ad that I wanted that I didnt already pick up already makes my decision to sleep in that night an easy one

Re: Wal-Mart black Friday ad
That is almost exactly the same set of BD's that were on sale LAST Black Friday ... and the prices are about the same too.
I bought most of these at similar prices at Target and Best Buy last year after Thanksgiving.

Actually about 7 of those $5 titles were $10 ones last year, so I wonder if that is a possible indication of other $5 titles that may happen this year.
