Louisville - Kroger - Hubbards Lane still has hundreds of them. They had them on Jan. 2 and they still have them today, Jan. 17.
They are not by the regular DVDs. They are by the books and magazines.

WAWAWEEWOW....
To everyone that found these displays I urge you guys to go back if there are still titles you want. I just went and saw the same display and this time there was a big cardboard sign saying that what was in the display WAS AN ADDITIONAL 50% (the lowest stickered price.) !!!!!!!
So I picked up (All HD-DVD Combo disks):
Talk to ME = $2.49
Alpha Dog = $2.99
Slither = $2.99
The Good Shepherd = $2.99
(Jet Li's) Fearless = $2.99
Also I picked up these five but noticed that I was definitely only charged for 4 of them. Yay for me.
Pretty amazing deal I must say.

Ahh, I don't recall seeing them there when I went. I'm only really looking for Eternal Sunshine though, did you happen to see that one?

Just checked the store closest to me they were moved to a section of wall by the video department (out of the display box) but no 50% off signs anywhere. They didn't have much left, maybe around 6-8 titles on HD/DVD.
I'll check another store tonight or tomorrow I'll try and hit the one that had the most stock when I first found them back in January.

Haven't seen this mentioned in this thread, but I found Brokeback Mountain on this deal today--half off of $6.99, so $3.49.

I picked up a few -- no sign, and my receipt made it appear that the 1/2 off discount happened because I swiped my Kroger Plus card.

I wish I was getting an extra 50% off here in Richmond, VA....I have found lots of these in various Krogers around town, but only still at the stickered price...
I picked up Army Of Darkness, Dazed And Confused, and Balls Of Fury...I'd consider a few more with the 50% off discount, so I hope it makes its way here soon....

Yeah, it appears that you need to use your Kroger Plus card to get the 50% off...
Picked up Eastern Promises and Slither here... Last copy of each.
If you're local... The Chinoe Road location in Lexington, KY still has Children of Men, Elizabeth: The Golden Age, Hollywoodland, Animal House, The Hitcher, two Jet Li titles, Miami Vice, Evan Almighty and some others. Display is in the front by the RX section.

Worked for me today (no 50% off signage). I got Fearless, Slither, Land of the Dead, and Eastern Promises for $13 total.
I used self-checkout to make sure the prices rang up at 50% off. If they don't, it's easy to cancel the order. If your Kroger has these, I recommend using them (if you're afraid you'll go through regular checkout and it doesn't ring up correctly).

IO used the price scanner in the frozen food section to make things easy and check the prices before I went to checkout
