sounds good

That's a good sign. Wish they had better prices on BD though...

Walmart is still one of the cheapest places to find BD. Not including internet sources which require you to wait for them to ship and possibly pay shipping.

Good news for Blu-Ray but I won't shop there unless they have lower prices.

Good news but Walmart really needs to watch their pricing. Their new releases are $30...BB is almost close to Amazon. WM still has Planet Earth for $65...

I attempted to shop for Blu's at Wal-mart, because you know, "they pass the savings on to us." But sadly, the prices are too high for my liking. Fry's and Amazon FTW!

cool, i just buy mine on amazon and bby.
walmart never has enough movies plus its always more usually.

MAPdead · 11-04-2008, 11:35 PM

They need a better selection and cheaper prices

I went to Wal-Mart today, and they didn't have any of the Planet of the Apes blu-ray movies in.

STARSCREAM · 11-05-2008, 08:32 AM

Wal-Mart pricing does need to come down and they need better selection. When Transformers came out I couldn't find it at Wal-Mart and the one by me still doesn't have it! That's just crazy. They seem to only have new release titles and sometimes have the catologue relases or get them in much later than release date.

the walmarts in my area are okay on blu pricing for the most part take for instance mr & mrs smith on blu is 35 at Bestbuy but at wallyworld it is 18.96 but i ended up making a trade for it before i bought it but i did pick up face off.. hellboy.. underworld.. and tomb raider for that price
