Wal-Mart web site & big BD discounts

[Bobby Henderson]

I looked at the Wal-Mart web site this morning and was surprised to find Cloverfield on Blu-ray priced just under $20. I was even more surprised to see the 5-disc Bladerunner collector's edition priced at only $15. The web site had nearly 70 movies priced under $20. Quite a few for only $15.

Are the regular retail WM stores carrying these prices too? If so it would seem that Wal-Mart is trying to give Amazon a little bit of competition. Maybe they dragged a few movie studio dept. heads to Bentonville, AR and talked to them about BD pricing in wake of their Blu-ray Disc aisle introduction.
