I was nervous about this, but no. They rang up just fine. The wal-mart employee was fighting to get the new display put together (Magnavox, Sony, Panny, Samsung players, new movie display, etc. takes up a whole aisle) and I saw them tucked behind some other movies. I don't even think they were supposed to be out yet, but grabbed them anyway. Also picked up Bee Movie (hard to find in my area at least) and 27 Dresses (for the wife, so she wouldn't kill me for spending so much.

As far as I know, they will not be released until next week, the 27th. But I bought them today.

I tried at a Circuit City by me that had them out, the computer flagged it and they wouldn't budge on not selling it. Oh well

Yeah, I can't believe places keep doing that. When I was trying to find some other titles early recently, I saw the boxes at Walmart (for May 27th) and they're marked saying something like heavy penalties for releasing early and have the date clearly marked on it as well.

Hmm, it just dawned on me, since they had those out when stocking the newly expanded blu-ray areas maybe I'll get lucky as well. They seem pretty clueless about inventory in general anyway. I was asking one of them if they had any way of checking the inventory to see if they had Bee Movie she said no. That they pretty much just have to go through the boxes and have no idea what they've got until they do so. I'm hoping she just didn't want to help me though. Otherwise, that's pretty ridiculous for this day and time (i.e. not having a computerized inventory system).

That frequently happens at my Circuit City. I can usually find stuff there early but they *never* sell it to me early. The computer won't allow it. I did recently get two titles at Best Buy early though so I guess theirs doesn't do that or if it does, they have some way of ignoring it.

I hate going anywhere near our walmart normally, but I may have to try my luck on this too

The only one I found at Best Buy early was Ice Age, and no problems. Someone said it may have been cause I had them price-match it. They don't do it near as often though. I should have fought back a bit more just to maybe get a gift card or something out of them for pissing me off
