Honestly, and not to sound blasphemus as I am a Christian, but it would probably take Jesus himself signing copies of the Bible, in order for me to get up and do a Black Friday run.

In other words: It ain't going to happen.

These kind of sales are usually in stackable carboard containers or even bigger cardboard displays that are just plopped on the floor in the middle of an aisle.

5-11 AM only? That sucks! I got a few $3.88 titles last year a couple days after Black Friday.

If Walmart has all the $3.44 DVDs listed online before the sale starts, that would be great. I hope someone will post the link in this thread. That way I can look over the titles to decide if it's worth the crowds. I'm pretty sure I won't get in line at open, but if there are enough cheap DVDs I might venture out a couple hours later. Right now I've seen some of the BF ads, and there are exactly 8 sub-$5 DVDs I'm interested in at various stores... there's no way it's worth going for only 8, but if the number were over 20 I might.

I'm in Phoenix too. Trying to decide which Wal-Mart to go to. However, I'm usually trying to find ways to avoid Wal-Mart of BF (shudder), but this new development is making me go there instead of other stores. The one on Elliott/Priest is 24 hours too, I think. I think I like the Gilbert one the best. Seems to have a little more normal clientelle.

I'm guessing (and hoping) that many Wallyworlds will simply keep selling them past 11am on into the day and weekend. I plan on making a run there sometime that evening. As a few before me have said, getting me out in that pack of early morning predators.....it ain't gonna happen.

here's walmart's link http://walmart.richfx.com.edgesuite....%26continue%3D

Really? I heard ole JC will be doing EXACTLY that at the Stratford, CT. Wal*Mart!

Rob, which Walmart location do you like the best?

I just bought a house in a pretty new development in Colorado and we have the same system. It totally sucks. These box - key systems are a joke. The other day while checking my mail my son opens the big box on the bottom with no key and there is a big package there he wants to take out! Turns out it was a package for my wife....... 500 bucks worth of drugs for her asmtha. Any kid coulda grabbed it and taken it. I constantly get my neighbors mail . My old house may not have been as nice but the mail was delevered to my box and packages to my door. Anyway I wonder if Walmart will honor the price match with online only items. The only item I really want to get on BF is a half price digital camera is at Best Buy which is about 30 miles away. Walmart online is a click away.

Can anyone link me to something about Best Buy's Black Friday DVD Sales?...anything I can print out would be great. I mainly just want to get Apollo 13 for $5.99, but I'm not sure it'll be that cheap at Wal-mart, so if I could get a printout of that from some Best Buy article I could price match it. That would be great since Wal-mart is 10 mins. away for me, and Best Buy is more like 50 mins. away. It' not really worth the trip to Best Buy just for the Apollo 13 DVD.

Someone please e-mail me and AD or something please!!!! Thanks.

You can shop online right now for some of the Black Friday items.

Here Travis -- not the best but.....

Looks like another fairly dull year for DVDs. As a matter of fact, Best Buy and Wal-Mart seem to have almost the same DVDs on sale, with BB being a bit higher.

But, Wal-Mart is going to be an absolute insane asylum even at 5am. Best Buy... Well, the Best Buy I'll go to is relatively out of the way. For the DVD's I'm planning on getting, the $10 or so it'll cost me extra is worth staying away from Wal-Mart.

OMG, last year there were WAY to many soccer moms in Wal-Mart to deal with. They had there Starbucks coffee in one hand, and the mini van parked out front. They were pushy, and grabby, it was nuts. I don't know if you guys remember last year's sale, but there were some $4.88 DVD's. They were all snappers, and mostly full screen. Wal-Mart put them in the middle of the electronics section. It was so insane. They looked like bees swarming around a nest.

I went to Walmart today and it was unusually crowded. I looked for the Alexander 2-DVD Director's Cut with Bonus DVD for $9.96 that someone had mentioned, but they didn't have it in their $9.96 "bin".

I then asked 3 Walmart employees what they knew about the DVD sales for Black Friday. I heard that mine had 6 displays (not bins) with about 40 different DVDs total that were totally wrapped so nobody could see inside. 2 displays were $3.44 and the other 4 were $3.88, if I remember right. Besides mentioning the few ones that are listed in Walmart's BF ad (Catch Me If You Can, and a couple others all of which I already have), they said nobody will know what's available until they pull off the wrap at 5 AM. Apparently my store will not close its doors, so a person could camp out by 1 of the 6 displays before 5 AM.

But which of the 6 displays would you choose considering it's all covered up? It's like asking someone to line up to pick 1 of 6 mystery boxes, and it might be a good box or a bad box, and then you have to fight your way to the next box.

I'm going to keep my eye on DVD Talk and hope that somebody finds out what all the $3.88 and $3.44 titles are before BF, or that somebody back east posts what they saw in the displays before 7 AM EST so I'll know if it's worth heading to Walmart around open. Short of that I've decided the probability of success is too small to justify the effort, especially if there are only 40 DVDs total and the displays will be scattered.

I'm just letting people know what I heard.

I was recently in a Wal Mart that had a $3.88 display and in my opinion none of the titles were worth buying, that's why I didn't bother to remember any of them. Not this this would or should be the same, but I would expect the leader priced DVDs at $3.44 to have some good titles although apparently some will no doubt be Fool Screen only.

The cheapy dvds that were on sale last year were there for a couple weeks....at the cheap price....I expect the same this year.

wow, this is freaky, its like a phoenix convention today. The elliot/priest is the one closest to my area (ahwa) so i'll go there if I'm awake/able. I'm hoping it won't be such a zoo since they've essentially tripled the size of it.

When you price match at Wallmart do you have to bring in an ad, or can you just tell them? Do you do it at the register or at customer service? Thanks!

Bring the ad and they can pricematch right at the register.

But if I go to a store to get the ad doesn't that defeat the purpose of price matching? Why wouldn't I just get it at the store?

You can get a lot of them in your daily paper.

Right. Get the paper on Thursday and PM at Wally on Friday.

Anybody know the other titles that will be at that price other than the 3 they show on their ad? At least CC shows them all in their ad, WM should do the same.
