Not sure if all Ralphs have this up yet so YMMV and all stores might not have the same DVDs, but it's worth checking out. Many of these have been seen at Ross Dress For Less and Big Lots. I picked up the following:

Boomtown 5-disc Season 1 $7.99
Angels In America HBO 2-disc set $4.99
The Best of Clifford The Big Red Dog 5-disc set $7.99
Dogville $4.99
Unscripted HBO 2-disc set $4.99
Broken Flowers $4.99
K Street The Complete Series HBO 2-disc set $5.99
Doogal $6.99
Close To Jesus 4-disc set $7.99

I also saw plenty of HD DVDs that were flippers and had standard DVDs on the other side. All the DVDs are between $3.99-$7.99. Also saw Moonlighting Season 3 for $7.99 and plenty of other boxsets.

I will have to check out my local Ralphs (gotta go foodshopping anyway...). Where were the these exactly? By the Customer Service desk or just randomly around?

CaseyB

The store I was at (Rock n' Roll Ralphs on Sunset) had them in the front of the store right next to the frozen food isle. They weren't in a shipper, they were placed neatly in a 3 tier wire rack that the store uses.

Used or new?

hindolio

why is that the "rock n' roll" ralphs? just curious

CaseyB

They're new.

I'm not really positive how it got that nickname. It's on Sunset Blvd, with clubs close by...so there's plenty of rockers....but there's also plenty of weirdos, strippers and prostitutes.

Gizmo

I'll give mine a shot today. My buddy is a manager so it shouldn't be too hard to locate them.

I finally saw these (at the Ralphs in Sherman Oaks). They also have a lot of HD DVD titles ranging from $4.99 to $7.99. Elizabeth the Golden Age, Miami Vice, others I can't remember.

hindolio

ralphs = kroger right?

CaseyB

Yes, Ralphs is owned by Kroger. Glad to see some of you found some of these in your stores.

JorgeC

correct, lots of rockers as there are a number of recording studios within a few blocks of there. my faves are the weirdos though.

Gizmo

My local Ralphs does not carry them (I asked my friend who is a manager). Hopefully these will eventually show up. I'll check out a few more in the area if I'm close to them.

CaseyB

The store I usually go to is Rock n' Roll Ralphs....on Sunset Blvd. These are right in front of the frozen food isle.

hindolio

CaseyB

They just put the new batch up yesterday. Ask for Felix...he'll help with all your DVD needs.

Which Ralphs? Hazeltine? Burbank? Coldwater Canyon?

I've now seen these HD DVDs and DVDs with the same stickers that Ralphs had on them show up at Albertsons. My friend picked up Half Baked and Hot Fuzz HD Combos yesterday.

CaseyB

They also had some HD DVDs and some used DVDs too.
