You know it's funny the Walmart around me does not display the sale price. They put the dvd out marking it $19.99 and when you get to the register they discount it. Sometimes you don't even know something is on sale.

no walmart by me, so i ordered a set online. thanks for the reminder.

btw, that new South Park Wall-mart episode hit the nail on the head. funny stuff!!

Geez, if the $4 is that much of a strain, why not just run out the front door with it, bypassing that whole "paying" deal?

Sounds like you spent an hour or two getting $4 off an item. Personally, I make a little more than $4/hour and find my time a bit more valuable than that. YMMV

It's one thing if it's like the Star Trek bonus disc at Best Buy. In that instance, Best Buy only has copies of Season Two with the bonus disc inside. Sure, they could turn down a price match from somewhere else because of the disc, but they don't offer an alternate without the disc until they run out of the bonus version. So they're usually going to honor the price match.

In this case, Wal-Mart is offering Shrek 2 by itself, or Shrek 2 with this bonus CD at a different price. If they weren't selling it by itself, then I could understand being upset.

Not accurate.

I bought Star Trek Season 2 at Best Buy on Wednesday and there were at least two sets WITHOUT the bonus disk on the shelf.

It would seem to me if WalMart is trying to sell you Shrek 2 with a FREE bonus CD, then it should be the same price as Shrek 2 WITHOUT the bonus CD. That is, if it really is free.

Funny that in all my days as a message board reader, I've never seen the term YMMV (which I now know means "your milage may vary") And suddenly it appears three times in this thread. :)

What songs are on bonus WALMART CD?

DrMcKittrick 11-05-04 03:27 PM

Went to WalMart today to get a copy of the regular disk this morning and there were no WS copies but for the ones that came with the CD.

Uh huh. Well, just go straight to BB or CC and just pay the 15.99 period. You save time and gas money plus the aggravation. Four bucks is not worth all the hassle when you could have already watched the movie if you would have bought if for 15.99! It's great to get a good deal, but come on. If the cd is an exclusive then you have no ground to stand on. Go get the disc at BB, they have the exclusive Green Room disc. hmmmmm

Kinda like most Democrats.... ;)

Is $4 really worth arguing with a manager over and making a fool out of yourself?

Why shop at Wal*Mart?

Because they consistently have the high-profile releases cheaper than anyone on release day. This is true at the WM near me (YMMV). Plus, I usually go after work around 4ish... and it's less of a hassle than Best Buy.
Each location is obviously different - I've never found any major new releases cheaper at Wal-Mart...

Wal-Mart prices things according to how close the competition is. If there's a Best Buy across the street, they'll have good deals. If there isn't a major DVD retailer nearby, they won't mark it down as much. Or so I've heard.

I wanted to comment on the original poster and what they did when I first saw this thread today but I was in too big of a hurry.
Now I have some time.

It is people like this who ruin deal for everyone else. If you wanted the DVD cheap you should of bought JUST the DVD. If you had to have the CD then you should of paid extra for it and been happy to have the CD. It's crazy that you scammed the second Wal-Mart and also amazing that you can in here and thought people would be outraged that Wal-Mart treated you like this. I'm not saying Wal-Mart is perfect but I think cheating like this is just being cheap and greedy.

The Wal-Mart in West Covina, CA had Shrek 2 with the Bonus CD for $15.99 and the single Shrek 2 for $14.99.

Very few Widescreens left when I picked mine up.

Why would you even try to price match it? It clearly is a Wal-Mart exclusive, so they're not stupid (or jerks, as you would call them). It only makes sense!
