Blu-Ray two packs at Wal-Mart for 19.96(YMMV)

cuseorange53 · 12-27-08, 05:07 PM

I was in my local Wal-Mart(NC) and they had about 5 or 6 two packs of Blu-Rays for 19.96. I picked up The Sum of All Fears/Patriot Games and The Ruins/Lara Croft. Others were Nacho Libre/Spiderwick Chronicles, Sleepy Hollow/Cloverfield, Norbit/Drillbit Taylor, Next/Face-Off. Maybe some others.

NiCK Crush · 12-27-08, 05:48 PM

Yep, these are probably the same packs that Best Buy has for $22.99 this week. At $19.96 though, I may grab one.

DarthVong · 12-27-08, 06:38 PM

QUICK, move this to the premium forum!

Just kidding!!!

Pretty cool deal. Have to see if my Wallyworld has em.

Panko · 12-27-08, 07:04 PM

shame, of those selections each only have 1 movie i would want. good deals otherwise, hope there's more packs around.

deto · 12-27-08, 07:18 PM

they were $29.99 at my wal-mart.

melih69 · 12-27-08, 08:09 PM

No luck. I guess my walmart do not follow other walmarts' deals.

moviewizguy · 12-27-08, 08:46 PM

You forgot Shooter/Italian Job. I'm assuming because Fry's had these on sale for $20 after Christmas for one day only. I really want Spierwick Chronicles but Nocho Libre? Really? Cloverfield/Sleepy Hollow is also tempting but I think there'll be a special edition for Cloverfield.

awil1026 · 12-27-08, 08:55 PM

Some were 19.96, some were 29.96 at my Wal-Mart.

Pizza · 12-27-08, 10:29 PM

i have yet to see a 2-pack that has two titles together that I want. I really wish they would make these things where you can pick any two.
And that Nacho Libre/Spiderwick Chronicles is a nutty pairing.

kenbenobi · 12-27-08, 11:29 PM

I'll have to look for these. I already own one title from most of the two-packs, but I'll go for the Jack Ryan two-pack. Wish it was a 3-pack tho!

EDIT: FYI, this is online for $27.32. The Nacho Libre two-pack is 31.86 online. I didn't bother with the rest. Doubtfully 19.96...

gotrice487 · 12-28-08, 12:07 PM

Thank you for the info. I will definitely go look for Cloverfield/Sleepy Hollow

That particular 2-pack was 29.96 at my Wal-Mart. 19.96 would have equaled SOLD!

The Monkees · 12-28-08, 01:02 PM

I saw a bunch of these at Sam's too for about the same price, sadly there's really nothing I would really like out of those.

saminsocks · 12-28-08, 03:19 PM

Are they packaged in separate cases? If they are, you can always purchase the pack for the one movie you want and then sell or trade in the other at a place that buys DVDs.

Someone has these on sale this week for $20. I want to say it's Best Buy, but I'm not positive. It's either there or Target.

Yes, each movie is in a separate case. I got the Cloverfield/Sleepy Hollow double pack for $26.99 at Best Buy. The Cloverfield blu-ray was also available by itself for $29.99.

tofferman · 12-28-08, 10:45 PM

Very much a YMMV as I've tried two different Walmarts and they didn't have any Blu-Ray two packs...oh well.

GameOver · 12-28-08, 10:47 PM

Why is it always the case they package these 2 packs with one good movie and one dud,to clear inventory?

Basically yes.

I'm guessing that overtime we'll be seeing alot more blu-ray 2 packs popping up. Its a good way for studios to clear out the pallets of unsold BR discs.

shacmasta · 12-29-08, 02:32 AM

No luck at my local Wal-mart, so I went over to best buy and they had a deal going on for said 2 packs, some for 22.99 and a few for $26.99

I picked up the Drillbit/Norbit 2 pack for 26.99, only because I wanted The Drillbit Blu-ray and since best buy was charging 24.99 for the stand alone version, I figured 2 bucks more for the pack w/Norbit would be the smart way to go, right?.....Right?

Ditto, my Sam's Club had Cloverfield/Sleepy Hollow but for $29. They had We Were Soldiers/Payback DC and Trading Places/Coming to America (amongst others, those were just the 2 I bought) for $19.

$29.96 at my Wal-Mart. Damn!

dsa_shea · 12-29-08, 05:35 PM

Sounds like Best Buy is the way to go on this deal. Too many Wal-Marts are hit and miss on stuff like this. I haven't seen these packs at either of 2 big Wal-Marts that we frequent.

Obviously you haven't seen Norbit. I would trade that sucker off. At least you know you might get back your 2 bucks!

toldawg128 · 01-02-09, 11:57 PM

One 2-pack not listed here that I saw at Sam's club was Italian Job/Shooter for $20.
