I just tried. I failed.

So if you had designs (like me) on taking in some of those free discs you got from the Summer Blu-ray promo you're SOL. Seems Wal-Mart has been innundated lately with new, unopened BD's and they (corperate?) were informed that people were returning items not purchased there for other product - at least this is what the lady I spoke with told me.

Shitty news I know but it was bound to happen sooner of later. At least they let me leave the store after I set off the Sensomatic at the front doors; guess BVHV doesn't de-magnetize the BD's as they leave the warehouse.

Anyways, just thought I'd share the info I gleaned this afternoon.

Are there no ethics and would this not be illegal something called fraud!
