Bee Movie on Blu-ray or lack thereof (funny story) - Blu-ray Forum

BLU for Blue · 03-11-2008, 07:45 PM

So as most of you know, I was the one who posted "seeing" the Blu version of Bee Movie in the back room of a Walmart about 2 weeks ago.

So I go into walmart today and I ask the electronics manager Mike, did you get any copies of Bee Movie on Blu ray? He says no? Its not coming out on Blu ray until Dreamworks settles. I said, but I saw like 12 copies in the back on Blu, and he starts laughing in my face and says wow I got you too. I looked at him very confused and he says, we got the HD DVD copies in and one of the employees who is a HUGE fan of dreamworks animation said there is no movie he wanted on Blu than Bee Movie and Shrek the third, so what they did was opened the HD DVD boxes (this was after the announcement that Bee movie was removed) and took the box art and slid it into Blu boxes making it seem like it was a Blu ray movie. Of course is says HD DVD on the side, but I never got a real good look at it so I didnt see that or I wouldnt have posted it. Sorry if I got anyone excited, I didnt mean to basically cause a false rumor over a practical joke they did.

Actually it wasnt the warehouse guys which is surprising cuz I heard crazy stories from them. It was the electronics manager. I thought he had more productive things to do, guess not haha

And as I said from day 1, I saw what I saw. Bee movie in a Blu ray box, and thats what it was

I dont think anyone actually could believe it, and deep inside, I didnt believe it myself but what am I to believe when I saw it in a blu ray box.

um isn't that sort of illegal? or something? to open a product and switch it around?

BLU for Blue · 03-11-2008, 08:34 PM

Dont know, maybe. But what else were they going to do with it? They arent selling the HD DVDs.

that makes no sense, they pay for everything that comes into the store and they are super stingy about losses (to keep prices lower they say) but i guess you saw what you saw and you probably have a bunch of idiots working there

nycomet · 03-11-2008, 08:40 PM

Bee Movie on BD?

That is total Bee Cr@p!

What a Looo-whooo-oooo-zaaa-errrrrrrrr.

Mods - suspend him. Go on, now.

quen_gta2 · 03-11-2008, 08:48 PM

Are the movies still there? If they are I will buy the opened package for full retail price, because if they would sell on EBay for a premium. Could you post some pics of the HD-DVD since he already opened them I am pretty sure you want get in trouble for taking a picture of it?

dont ask this guy for pics or to do anything aobut htis movie. he could lose his job according to him. your best bet is trying to find it on you own because he wouldnt take pictures to prove he saw the hd dvd cover in a blu ray case...

jkwest · 03-11-2008, 09:07 PM

look over this guys posts...he is unreliable and a waste for this site since day one.

I think he may be worse than blu Beard was....if that is possible.

Agreed. Doesn't make sense that a manager would actually open up brand new merchandise to play a joke on customers. Also, products that are illegal to sell have to be shipped back to the factory. Why would this manager actually open them up?

Are people really running out of ideas to get a higher post count? Mods, bring on the ban.

quen_gta2 · 03-11-2008, 09:11 PM

There is a copy of Bee Movie on HD-DVD currently being bid on at E-Bay it is up to $400 right now with six hours left. The item #280208111457. Also the UPC is 097361322940 but I don't know how to check it. If someone give me a website to check UPC's I would greatly appreciate it.

Holy shit, why would someone actually pay so much for that film? Yuck.

If only that money actually went to something worth it.
