Not bad for $16, although we were very upset about the Silent Hill aspect ratio.

Thanks for the heads up. I had purchased it before I read this, and while the backcover states anamorphic WS for both features, I noticed the top security strip says Silent Hill FS. In any case, I returned it this morning.

I've been to 2 Walmart stores, but nothing, nada! I think I missed the boat here on the good stuff, no Centennials, no Into the Wild. Quite upsetting, I might say! :down:

I just came back from checking my store and nothing new. I really wanted to find Reds, Centennials, and maybe Ringu. Oh well.

Picked up:

Margot at the Wedding
Ask the Dust
Some Kind of Wonderful
A Mighty Heart
Indecent Proposal
Kite Runner
Jennifer 8
Into the Wild (2-disc) - I still have the one-disc version unopened at home. :rolleyes:

My store had that display, but they were $4. That kinda ticked me off so I passed. I hope to find some of the other displays with better movies anyway...

Well my store (closest to were I live) has about 12 copy of Into The Wild (2-disc) does anyone have REDS (2-disc)?

Nothing at my local store, I asked an associate if they knew of any $3 display and all he said was "Uh, I don't know... Let me ask someone else." He walked away and never came back, go figure.

No luck on chinatown or ringu anthology. But they pretty much had everything else, at the walmart in bridgeview, illinois.

I live/work relatively close (1-5 miles) to 4 stores. The store that we generally call the "ghetto" store was priced at $4, the other 3 stores were priced at $3. Very odd but expected from Wal-mart.

I've been to my three local stores, no luck at either of them.

Well the WM here in Thomasville, GA had the display set up near the front of the store and they were priced at $4. Never figured WM to be a business that would penalize consumers because of where they live. I didn't spot a Ringu and I would have probably bought Roman Holiday and Casshern, but I passed just on general principle. I'm heading to walmart.com to give them some valuable feedback.

I've been to 4 Walmarts and they all had the same titles. What pisses me off the most is that none of them had any of the Centennial or Ringu. Glad I found the 2-disc Zodiaz during the last $3-5 sale. Did find MGM's Midnight Madness of The Land that Time Forgot/The People that Time Forgot in the $5 bin.

Went to 2 stores, both were $4. Very odd that some are $4 and some are $3.

Went to my local store yesterday and nothing set up yet, went today and they had the display but it was $4.. limited selection also but it was full. Passed... for $3 I was willing to buy a few but I didn't feel the need to buy any for $4.

All $3 DVDs are being marked up to $4, it is just a matter of when the electronics department manager for that particular store gets to the price changes.

My store is switched to $4. I picked up Centennial Roman Holiday and Sunset Blvd. and the Ringu set. Interested in Reds, Odd Couple, and I would love to find Steel Dawn too.

I saw Next of Kin (which I picked up), Point Break, and Icon in the $5 bin so I assume it is there. Or is there a Swayze section to the $3/$4 display?

Is there interest in a Wal Mart exchange thread set up like the Big Lots one? There's been a lot of great stuff the last few weeks. And surprisingly a lot of YMMV.

Saw a few more at my local store (still no ringu!) - the price is also $4 now (when I asked if they had any more $4 dvds in the back, the employee in electronics said "Wow, these were just $3 earlier today", but that all titles were out). I did find a few of these in the "latin" $5 dump bin (next to the "normal" $5 dump bin). I also saw Charlies Angels (1 and 2, I believe) and xXx in the $3/4 section

The same display that was $3 yesterday was up to $4 today. I bought Beowulf: Director's Cut 2-pack with Beowulf the PC Game.

Re: Wal-Mart Bargains Thread #2
 
My walmart did the same. They changed the price from $3 to $4. By the way, if you don't find the Ringu set, maybe is somewhere else in the DVD racks. I found mine in an endcap different than the cardbox. There were around 5 more in the store after I got mine.

I've been to two stores and they have no $3/$4 dvd's whatsoever. So enjoy, everyone else!

I thought I might check out 'Where the Wild Things Are' this afternoon. I figured I could avoid a slew of kiddies by catching a weekday matinee. Little did I realize so many mothers would bring their screaming toddlers to see it on a Friday (and that the screening would be oversold). Anyway, this trip to daycare - er, I mean the theater - gave me an excuse to visit two different Wal-Marts.

No Ringu, no Centennials, no Marathon Man. I checked every endcap just to be sure. I did find two copies of the 'Into the Wild' special edition among what seemed like a couple hundred copies of 'Charlie's Angel's: Full Throttle. Total blind buy (and priced $4), but I didn't want to make the trip empty handed. I considered picking up 'Reds' for a potential trade, but the only copy I could find was a floater with a puncture mark on the front cover. I might try back later, but the displays seemed mostly stocked with the same old $5 bin staples (Days of Thunder, Jackass: The Movie, Sky Captain). I really don't see them moving that much inventory this weekend.

How was it?

And has anyone hit the NoVa stores yet?
