I wouldn't have a problem with doing this if it wasn't for the fact that the slots can really damage the disc. I got There Will Be Blood right before I had a Blu-Ray player and the packaging is gorgeous but it is hard as hell to get the discs out without scuffing them.

My discs had no scratches (luckily perhaps)... but the packaging sticks lots of paper dust or whatever you can call it, to the discs. And I don't want that crap in my DVD player, clogs up the lense in the long run

Did anyone that picked up the 3-disc Special Edition today have any problems with the packaging or the discs being scractched? I'm tempted to pick this up but the paper packaging has me a bit worried that the discs will hold up over the long run.

I purchased the 1-Disc and the 3-Disc. Both have the same paper slot packaging. My 3-Disc was scratched; I tried to watch it and it kept skipping. Haven't tried the 1-Disc yet. Gonna have to exchange it; big pain when all they had to do was put a hub on it and keep it from sliding around. Very disappointed. F-

I got the 3 disc yesterday at Wal-Mart for 38 bucks which includes tax but it was well worth it. A little bit too pricey yes but I already figured 27 anyway so 11 bucks more wasn't much anyway. I am very happy with it and I LOVE the packaging...so unique and cool! No scratches on the disc or anything! I watched it 2 times already and both times it played just fine without any problems.

I don't know why people are paying such high prices for this movie? You can certainly get it cheaper. Wal-Mart has the 3-Disc DVD for $22.86, online. I went into Best Buy, asked them if they would price match Wal-Mart, the lady said yes, asked me the price, and that's what I paid! So, $22.86 plus tax for the 3-Disc DVD of WALL-E, out the door. For some odd reason, they had only received 8 copies of the 3-Disc DVD. I also ended up pre-ordering The Dark Knight for a $5.00 deposit, and got a free poster with Batman on the Batpod. I decided to finally pick up Night At The Museum (Widescreen) for $6.99. Not a bad haul, if I do say so myself!

SD 3-disc in stores prices:
Walmart $34.86
Best Buy, Target, Circuit City $29.99 and this isn't even a sale price.
Even Amazon is $22.95
Deep Discount is $25.76, better price with the 25% off, but they're sold out and you will be billed when they get more in.
But still, Walmart's price is crazy. I called 3 stores and that is the price. Walmart online is $22.86.

I got the SD 3-disc edition last night. The paper packaging is really shitty, fugly and flimsy and it was assembled wrong, with one of the "wings" (containing Disc 1) coming out upside down from the left side and having to be reassembled for it to hold together. It's definitely the kind of gadget Wall-E himself would throw in the reject pile.
But the film is one of the greatest artistic achievements of this century so far and the 3-disc package is really worth it for The Pixar Story (90 minutes!), which is a great, informative, surprisingly candid film that even has suspense, and that no fan of animation should be without.

I did not have to have a print out. In fact, I didn't have to have anything. I just asked if they price matched Wal-Mart's online price, the lady said yes, asked me how much it was, and that was it. I was fully prepared for her to want to look it up online, but, she didn't. I would say your results may vary, but, if they will do it for you, and need proof, they can certainly go to the website themselves. Of course, it never hurts to take proof.

Unfortunately, it's the Disney version of the story, so candid as it may be, it still stretches the facts a little bit. I highly recommend the book about the story of Pixar (NOT the Disney-produced one) - it's very in-depth and gives a more truthful account of a lot of the behind-the-scenes drama. (one recurring theme: Steve Jobs kept trying to unload it and had very little involvement, yet tries to take all the credit)

Seriously, Steve Jobs is one guy who is very glad he never unloaded anything and it shows.

I cant believe Walmart wont price match their own web print out. I tried and had to do it at BB. Really starting to hate wal-mart more and more each day.

Thanks for the heads up on this, MMO. I just got back from Best Buy here in Memphis and they did price match not only on WALL-E but also on the KUNG-FU PANDA 2 pak. Ended up getting WALL-E for $22.86 and KFP for $15.86. I did bring a screen capture from Wal Mart's website just to be safe and didn't have any problems. I saved so much on those two I was able to spring for the 2 disc TROPIC THUNDER DVD.

Unfortunately my WALL-E disc one was scratched pretty badly from the packaging. So I took it back to BB and they said that they've had more returns on this release than any other. They were very nice about it though and let me open copies until we found one that wasn't scratched which took some doing. Oh yeah, I was also able to price match on the HELLBOY II 3 disc DVD for $17.86!!! Woo hoo!!!! I'm going to check WalMart's website first each week now to see what I can save money on at BB; I never shop at WM but I've got a Reward Zone membership at BB.
