Wal-Mart exclusive Elvis: Viva Las Vegas - Blu-ray Forum

veganblu · 08-13-2008, 02:31 AM

Anyone else see this blu-ray title at Wal-Mart today? Its the live television event and NOT the elvis movie previously available. It had a $19.95 sticker on it and features interviews and performances from many of todays current stars. This was the first I had seen of this. Anyone else?

It came out today, it's a Wal-Mart/Sam's Club exclusive. It was on television Monday, and then came out on DVD and Blu-ray today.

veganblu · 08-13-2008, 04:13 AM

is it worth picking up?

Blu-News · 08-13-2008, 05:36 AM

I didn't see it on TV, I am curious to purchase it. I'll probably pick it up tomorrow and let you know what I think. Are you more interested in the actual content, or the PQ/AQ?

I bought the new Walmart-exclusive Elvis BD the other day and it sucks!! The picture will only display in the top left corner of the screen and nothing I can do fixes it. I know of one other person who has had this problem, so I think the whole shipment may be defective. When I tried to return it though, they wouldn't take it back b/c there hasn't been a recall placed on it. They told me to try calling corporate but I doubt that will fix anything. Has anyone else purchased this, and if so did you have the same problem?

So you guys think that Elvis's music is country just because he's from Mississippi?

I bought Viva las Vegas on Blu-ray a few months ago from Amazon and works fine. No issues.

Well, I'll be! So since I know it's not a defective item, maybe I'll exchange mine for another one. Has anyone else had this problem, though? I feel like maybe there's a way to remedy it but I can't figure it out.

I don't understand one thing.
We are talking about Viva las Vegas on Blu-Ray right?
Seems that the ones sold by Wal-Mart don't work very well, and the others, sold by Amazon (that is my case) work fine.
My question is, where is the difference?
Don't they come from the same origin?
Wal-Mart author his own Blu-Rays?
