It does come with 2 commentaries, but all other special features from the 2-disc DVD is gone. I think I'll stick with my HD-DVD copy that has all the special features.

There were like 10-15 titles. I can't really remember any of them but two stuck out in my mind: jarhead and Old School.


These are not WM exclusives AFAIK. My local BJs have had these for $11-$15 for almost a year now ($11 when they have them on IR).

The HD-DVD has the bonus features from the 2-disc DVD? Wtf. I'm glad at least the commentaries got carried over, but that's still bullshit.

On Monday I saw some "combo" packs where the BD and DVD versions of some films were wrapped together. The 2 I remember seeing were Street Fighter (Van Damme) and The Eye. They were priced for $12.

$15 for the DVD/Blu-ray combo packs at my WM, I remember Jarhead, Last Starfighter, Doom, 8 Mile, Battle for Terra.

I seriously doubt that BR Bargain bin because Walmart still sellse those $5 listed BR's that someone had posted for $10. Don't believe that $5 price.

damn, I wish my walmart would get in the combo packs :(, nothing at either one, where were they located in store???

The Blu-ray selection at the two Wal-Marts I go to are a fucking mess. They have two or three small Blu-ray sections scattered randomly throughout the electronics, and then there a few mixed in with the regular DVDs.

I really don't think they're very interested in pushing the format.

FWIW, BJ's Wholesale Club has a bunch of Universal combo packs for $14.99.

Yeah, it would be nice if they would put them all in the same area. Mine you have a row that has the Blu-ray players and some general Blu-rays (with some new titles on the top row), another there's the standalone shelves with DVDs and the BDs are at the side ends, and then there are some $10 at the bottom (damn near the floor) on the end cap, some on another end cap away from the others and more on an end cap close to the video game section.

Both of my Walmarts did away with the bargain bin Dvd's. Anyone else seeing this??? NOOOOOooooo!!!

With CH hiking prices, and now Walmart doing away with the bargain bin, where-oh-where do I get my fix??? Looks like Amazon is my only friend.

The Meijer combos are packed differently.

These Wal-Mart combos are the Blu-Ray in a Blu-Ray case and the DVD in a DVD case shrink wrapped together.

The Meijer combos are the BD and DVD in one black normal sized DVD case.

kenichi tanaka 04-08-10 04:57 PM

re: Walmart / walmart.com discounts and deals on Blu-ray
 
I saw other titles as well:

Way of War
The Last Starfighter
Doom
Event Horizon
How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days

There were more that I cannot remember at this time.

I would totally buy this if mine has it. The problem is going into Wal-Mart for less than a sure thing :shudder:

The Cow 04-08-10 07:10 PM

re: Walmart / walmart.com discounts and deals on Blu-ray
 
These were all in an $8.00 display at my Walmart:

Hard Rain
Lord of War
KickBoxer

The Punisher
Reservoir Dogs
Chaos
The Condemned
Cujo
Fraily
Near Dark
Monster Squad

Pinata, that's why you could call your local Walmart and ask if they have it in stock. The Last Starfighter has the Blu ray and DVD packaged together. Both are separate releases.

Me too. I'd buy that for 8 dollars. I heard bad things about the PQ but I guess its just heavy on grain since its mostly night shots and we know how some people just love heavy grain... ;)

dvdbeaver seems to like the PQ...plus the US dvd release is interlaced.

Walmart has Dog Soldiers for $15. Just went down there and it was on the orange standee for that price. Ill pass for now. It does show a sticker on the front that says INCLUDES BLU-RAY AND DVD.

Hoping my local has 'Reservoir Dogs' for $8 - have to check that out tomorrow

Matthew Chmiel 04-11-10 06:52 PM

re: Walmart / walmart.com discounts and deals on Blu-ray
 
I also saw a sticker for a Diary of the Dead BD/DVD combo-pack for $15.

Even though I hated the flick, I may purchase it as I own Dawn (remake), Day, and Land all on Blu.

The Monkees 04-11-10 08:13 PM

re: Walmart / walmart.com discounts and deals on Blu-ray
 
I've been to 4 Wal-Marts this week and I only saw the BD/DVD combos at one of them.

rexinnih 04-11-10 10:28 PM

re: Walmart / walmart.com discounts and deals on Blu-ray
 
Went looking for the running man but couldn't find any in the endcap with the other $8 titles. Found it and the other missing $8 titles in the big orange box in the middle of the aisle with a big $15 sign over them. Rang up as $8 so no problem.

ZT_Styles 04-12-10 06:46 AM

re: Walmart / walmart.com discounts and deals on Blu-ray
 
Two more of the shrinkwrapped BD/DVD combos I haven't seen anyone mention yet are the two "Presented by Tapout" movies: Death Warrior and Unrivaled.

DVDMagic 04-12-10 07:02 PM

re: Walmart / walmart.com discounts and deals on Blu-ray
 
managed to pick up 'Reservoir Dogs' for $8 which I was pleased about. May go back for a couple more later in the week.

I've heard stories of the new A Nightmare on Elm Street for $15, if true, I'm all over it.

I have my old receipts when WM got the $10 BDs: The Phantom, Running Man, ect... Might take the receipt and see if they'll refund $2 for each

if they won't, just repurchase it, and return with the old receipt. Cake or pie, take your pick. :)
