Wal Mart and their Blu-ray movies - Blu-ray Forum

philco_3 · 08-10-2009, 11:02 AM

I don't know if its a regional thing, but I know our Wal-Marts in the St. Louis area used to have almost an entire section of Blu-ray DVDs and know they just have a little section at the end of row. I have also noticed that the PS3 stuff has been several cut back on and they no longer have the PSN card at the stores too. Also moved the games around too where the 360 games are first, then Wii, followed by PS3 and PS2 games. Makes me wonder if Microsoft didn't grease Wal-Marts wheels or something. Anyway really just wondering if anyone else has noticed this or if it is just my area.

There was an article about WM getting more BD's in stock. They were able to bring in more and sell them at $15, but they only did that for about a month or so. Very disappointing, and I don't buy much from them anymore.

I ordered 2 new Blu Rays for under $7 each from Walmart this week using free "ship 2 store" shipping. I'm tempted to also get Slumdog which is under $13 the same way.

I don't find a lot of stuff in store but when you realize you can get free shipping on most anything if you can pick it up from the store Walmart becomes a great place to buy Blu Rays.

Blu-ray Disc not Blu-ray DVDs. And that is a odd move by a retailer to expand a section to only cut back on it. Maybe the store you go to doesn't receive enough profits to justify more shelf space.

Yeah site to store I used before all the time when I started buying BD's until I heard about Amazon $25+ free shipping with no tax.

I noticed that my store has decreased it selection by a lot. The mostly just have new releases. When I asked the sales associate where all their older Blu-rays went to, he responded, " I dunno. We were just asked to pack them up and ship them back." He doubted that they would be getting more in. My store now has, however, a $15 kiosk with about 15-20 movies.

I still order blu-rays from them online pretty cheaply, usually just under whatever amazon's price is.
