Alert: Walmart 500+ Blu movie rack - Blu-ray Forum

opterasis · 02-08-2010, 05:57 PM

My local walmart had Electronics reset today, and they actually reduced the number of blus they carry. Total nonsense.

Alright, I'll check my local Walmarts. If its true, then I'll be visiting more often.

Was it a regular Wal-mart or a Supercenter?

My local walmart has been doing something similar, but they don't have 500 blus. They have the regular 4 foot glass case with planogrammed blus, some $10 and $13 blus in random spots near hd displays, and a huge pile of blus and games in the last section of the videogame case, which this store uses as a dumpster for lockup merchandise that isn't in the planogram. Hopefully this is leading to a real bluray section coming up in the next reset, I'm getting sick of Best Buy having no competition in my town.

all regular Walmarts, i will go tomorrow and write down alot of movies with prices. one thing i HATE

about walmart is they hide stuff and don't mention - "we have more in this section". you always have to be not looking for them and "Bam" here they are.

but again i'll have a list for everybody tomorrow.....

Oh, i have 3 super walmarts but are pretty far away, but i'll be checking those out this weekend....

my Walmart just put out a ton of the 2 for 20 sets and reduced alot of the prices on some others..

I just noticed this at my local WM this weekend too, probably not 400 but they had 3 more sections I'd never seen with probably 1-200 more titles.

a lot of wal-marts probably downsize their blu-ray stock because of low sales due to keeping the prices ridiculous.

After Christmas I went into wal-mart with a $25 gift card intending to get Inglorious Basterds. The Blu-ray was $28.99 and the DVD was $24.99.

I then loudly said "forget this, I'll just buy it from Amazon for $17".

My local "SUPERCenter" went from 4 large display racks to 2 smaller display racks and a small "Sony" display with about a dozen Sony Catalog titles.

They also Johnny Appleseed assorted titles in inappropriate areas, like mixed in with the discount standard DVDs.
