yeah those *******s at WalMart said the same thing whats up with this?

BLu-Balls · 05-20-2008, 08:32 PM

I lucked out for V at the Walmart in Milton. Good luck guys

I went around today to my local Walmart, Bestbuy and Futureshop and couldn't find any of the re-released titles (Face-off / Blades of Glory please). Anyone in Canada have any luck finding them? (I live in Winnipeg) I searched and couldn't find a thread about this for Canada.

Well i always found Canadian release to be a little laggy from 1-3 days in general..

dvd_mazter · 05-21-2008, 01:38 AM

Yeah, that sucks. I hope we get them soon. Off topic, was V for Vendetta delayed here

they are coming a week later May 27th i was at my BB and had V for Vendetta to buy and they said they couldnt sell it till the 27th, stupid

dvd_mazter · 05-21-2008, 06:22 PM

Thanks for that info, but I'm going to be upset if this becomes common in Canada with titles getting delayed. I thinking I'm just going to order from my work soon, they sometime a little more expensive but I get them about a week early.

jceperley · 05-21-2008, 06:53 PM

I work at a Best Buy, and we haven't got anything in. Actually, my supervisor was helping someone look for one, couldn't even find it in the computer. So I don't know what's going on with those ones. Can't wait, with all those new titles, maybe we'll have to cut the HD DVD side in half (again), leaving only about the top row or two of a four foot section.

dvd_mazter · 05-21-2008, 07:07 PM

You don't think they would have cancelled V For Vendetta in Canada. That would suck bad because there have been a few that got delayed and never came here. (Dogma comes to mind)

Thanks for that info. Do you know or can you confirm if Best Buy will be selling those new titles on May 27th? or June 3rd as Amazon has it?

That actually explains why my Amazon.com order hasn't shipped yet from last week, because of V for Vendetta.

It came out in the States May 20, it was only delayed in Canada till May 27 so it shouldn't have been delayed from amazon.com.

Amazon may have held my order back because V isn't available here until the 27th, but there could be other reasons too.

I saw the Dirty Harry set on Blu-ray at Wal-Mart in Welland, Ontario today. It's not supposed to be out until next week.

It's around $94.83 or something.

Had to be other reasons. My V order from Amazon.com shipped to me on May 19 and I got it on May 23.

I finally found the Paramount titles in Canada. (Winnipeg for me) Futureshop had pretty much all the catalogue releases there. Shooter, Face/off, Blades of Glory, MI 1,2,3, Disturbia plus more all priced at 26.99. Just thought I'd give you the info.
