on another note...i went to 3 of my local walmarts looking for sunshine today bcuz i too didnt originally find it in my last visit there and no sign of it at all. i had the associate call over to a scarborough location... i spoke directly to a guy who said put me on hold, went looking for it and said he found it and confirmed they had it in stock... i specifically told him to hold it for me at the counter and i'd be right over. so i drive all the way from practically whitby to scarborough and when i get there.. they dont have it... nobody claims to have spoken to me or know what i was talking about and unfortunatly i didnt get the guys name so i was shit outa luck. very dissapointed.. and its not even in their flyer so i cant get fs or bb to pricematch it. not impressed at all. i'll keep looking thou.

Crash at $10 is a MUST BUY! truly an epic film. It's not the #1 rated film on Netflix for nothing.

That's the one thing that annoys me so about Wal-Mart...everyone there is freagin' clueless! I remember they had a $9.99 deal a few months ago (can't remember the title as I've been buying too many). I got there at 8AM and it took me 3 hours (thank God for having a Mickey D's there) to get what I wanted as advertised in their flier. No one knew what was going on!

xXx (Vin Diesel movie) is also $14.83.

PepeGameblouse · 03-10-2009, 03:28 AM

this seems like the same old walmart deals.

sumik · 03-10-2009, 04:11 AM

Got Patriot, Fith Element, and Full Metal Jacket, will look for Sunshine tomorrow.

Thanks guys. I grabbed American Psycho for $10 and Interview with a Vampire for $14.83 when I was there to pick up Pinocchio. At my local Walmart they had quite a few copies of all the Blu-rays on sale. I already have the majority of the ones on sale (the ones I would want to buy anyway).

stonkeye · 03-10-2009, 02:39 PM

I could be nice to sticky a Wallmart thread and just have the list updated as and when needed.

Soz if i missed the point its early and not had my coffee yet!!!!

On another note going to the big city of Regina today so will check out there wall mart see if i can get 5th element....

no... the one i drove to in scarborough was near morningside and sheppard in that plaza with cineplex theater and kelseys. i have since checked another 2 walmarts.... at scarborough town center and salem and reps at both stores useless! same old line i get "if its not out there on the shelf then we dont have it" not even bothered to look or check for me. at this point i'm just curious if ANYBODY AT ALL has picked up sunshine at that price from any walmarts and if so which one? thanks

Jimbo976 · 03-10-2009, 07:28 PM

Sunshine was not at the store I bought other ones at this morning.

I tried to like it, but it wasn't for me.

broc · 03-10-2009, 09:07 PM

Picked up Crash and American Psycho.

Crash scanned for $22.83, but since it was ticketed as 2/20, it didn't qualify for the Scanning Code of Practice..

Jimbo976 · 03-10-2009, 09:33 PM

I was considering Crash but passed for now. It clearly had a 2 for $20 sticker on it though at the Walmart where I was.

Junkmale · 03-10-2009, 09:46 PM

I bought Crash as well and boy the transfer is bad. Not sure if it's just the way the original film was shot or not, but it has to be the worst blu-ray I've ever seen. Very grainy and not very sharp. I've seen lots of DVD's that look better than this blu-ray.

aardvark77 · 03-11-2009, 03:17 AM

Igot quite a few of the$14.83 titles, but I couldn't find Open Season or Surf's Up. BUT! They had The Princess Bride out for sale 10 days early. Got that as well.

OMG WHERE?!?! I NEED PRINCESS BRIDE! sorry, been wanting this one. also, last i checked, princess bride CDN release was delayed to sometime in may i believe, i could be wrong and i hope i am...

Booyahs the name · 03-11-2009, 05:06 AM

i thought Sunshine was ok..... but not worth buying at full price also i want that movie as a demo

sumik · 03-11-2009, 05:21 AM

Is this in every Walmart ?
I bought mine in Milton, but today I went to Heartland Walmart to see if by any chance they have Sunshine left and there was no deals anywhere in the Walmart. I asked the guy in dvd section about the 2/20 and he was like "yeah, last deal like that was on boxing day" clueless. For a big center they have very little blus anwyay...
