I'm no expert, but as "shrink" software is available for Blu-Ray files (similar to DVD Shrink or DVD Rebuilder), there is likely a high-end commercial solution, too. If the original 4K master does need altered, it's possible you're *both* right.

Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification.
Isn't the amount of compression of the video on the disc determined at encoding time though? I understand it's the same 4K master source, but when it's encoded for Blu-ray using one of the BD standard codecs (MPEG-2, MPEG-4, AVC ,etc), the level of compression and thus final file size is determined. Maybe I'm just using the wrong term though.

Of course, this is only if they even need to compress it further.

Guess I'll be going to Best Buy on Tuesday unless Target is the same price. I never have good luck with them accepting manufacturers coupons.

I'd rather not go in to a Walmart if I don't have to (since there's no guarantee of in-store copies), so I just ordered it from Amazon and asked them for a price adjustment via chat. Good enough for me.

$15.96 at the Walmart in Germantown, WI. They had 3 copies (2 now) and no issues using the coupon. Great deal!

No problems using the coupon at the Westbury, LI, NY Walmart. Got a mint copy despite the
fact it was encased in one of those plastic "tombs". 3 copies left here.
Thanks to the OP for the coupon link.

Usually you are required to place the coupon into a slot at the self-service register. The same is true at the supermarkets here in CT. It is presumed (on my part) that once slotted, the coupon is scanned again to verify that it is indeed a coupon with barcode (as opposed to being a gum wrapper).

I will try this on the way home tonight! I always prefer the self service checkout. Those are smarter than the cashiers there...

15.96 at walmart in michigan... was a nice surprise since i'd have wasted 2$ in gas to hit up BB for 17.99. so 10.96 before tax was excellent.

The Best Buy I visited today wouldn't honor the coupon. Had a manager come over to basically tell me I wasn't the only person today who tried to use it, but since it wouldn't scan in their system, they couldn't accept it.

Got it for $12.99 with coupon at Best Buy, during one of my ever-decreasing trips there. Good enough, considering I paid $19.99 EACH for the DVDs of Ghostbusters I and II back in 1999.
