"Jumper" found early

[UTVOL06]

I was browsing the newly expanded blu-ray section at my local walmart and found a cart full of boxes of stock waiting to be put out. The top box was wide open and said "do not put out until Tuesday 10th" or something like that. There were 3 copies of "Jumper" sitting out next to the box in plain view with no price sticker. I grabbed a copy and went to the check out and it scanned and let me pay!

Anyway, no screenies yet, but I watched it last night and thought it was pretty good. Not the greatest, but entertaining and fun. Special effects were great. The PQ was top notch. Ofcourse being brand new helped. The back of the Fox blu-ray showed a high bit-rate of 35 or 36MBps..can't remember the exact number here at work now. Picture was very clean and consistent throughout.

Thought I'd let you guys know if anyone was on the fence about the movie its worth watching. I felt it was worth buying.

Thanks for the rundown. I really enjoyed this in the theater, and am psyched for the Blu release. Went out hunting for the early put out, but as usual, no such luck. I convince myself that every week may be the week I get stuff early, but alas, it never is.

Hey yellowblanket, I was looking at your pictures of your system, what kind of speakers do you have for both setups?

I'm starting to think that the whole fine for breaking street date is an empty threat. Wal-Mart, on a regular basis, and to a lesser extent Best Buy, puts out Blu-rays early. I would think if they were losing money because of it they would have made their employees aware of what's going on.

Good find on Jumper and I'm surprised the moral police we have around here (certain members) haven't jumped all over you yet, LOL Where is America headed, current value system etc..........

Actually, I keep waiting for people to tell us how much it sucks and how there shouldnt be a thread about such a bad movie to begin with. You know, like the last Jumper thread.

Regardless, I can't wait to see it again on Blu.

Jumper really sucks. Its the last movie that should get its own thread.


...and SHAME on you for taking it out of the box and buying it early!!

I agree with you, but unfortunately i am never the lucky one to find it before release date!

Were there any Bee Movie on HD-DVD laying around too?

Sorry, had to ask...

My Wal-Mart has a great Blu selection, but couldn't find Signs today damnit. Picked up There Will Be Blood and Cloverfield to hold me over till I find it. Didn't see the Recruit either come to think of it.

Hehehehehehehehe, about time you guys showed up. You are slacking off should have flamed this guy and turned him into the cops for taking it out of that box, LOL

Lucky You ! So slip-cover or no slip-cover ? I hate how walmart usually doesnt include slip covers for Blu.

[UTVOL06]

how immoral is it to pick up a blu-ray laying out in plain view next to a bunch of boxed items, which are right next to the blu-ray section and then scan and pay for it at check-out?

Oh but wait...I don't care.

yellowblanketnot calling you a liar but few of our location here will not be able to get shipment til the 8th. If u got the thing then Hey! kudo to ya!

I'll post a pic when I get home from work of the blu-ray. Obviously I've been a member here for a while now and don't have a record of lying...so why start now?

[TwYsTeD]

[bumpylemon]
