That's about the best I've seen, so I might wait. Although with Concert BD's I have a tendency to not mind paying more as they have greater replay value for me. It all comes down to being there and holding the BD in my hand...then I'll decide! LOL

Yeah "greater replay value" is how I justify paying higher prices for concert BDs.

When I started collecting BDs I thought when I have 100 that would include pretty much everything I wanna have on Blu. Now I got 75 and it feels like I don't even have 20%. I'm also replacing all the movies I have on DVD with BDs even though I promised myself I would never do that.

Going to a live concert versus the cinema for a movie has a huge price difference too!

Picked up both Harold and Kumar movies and Tears of the Sun for $14.83. Also grabbed Swordfish while I was there. It was $16.83 or something like that.

Where did you find the Harold and Kumar movies?

The new Wal-Mart in Waterloo. They had a whole bunch of blu's scattered about different displays.

danman227460 · 06-21-2009, 06:02 AM

Thanks. 21.95 is the cheapest I've seen. Not bad considering it's a new release.

Thanks. Always good to have more options. I thought FS didn't carry it at all. I'll see if I'm going to wait 'til they get resupply or order from amazon.

Stas · 06-23-2009, 07:57 AM

Picked up The Pursuit of Happyness. Saw most of the titles and 2packs listed in WM threads. My Walmart still has a few copies of Shawshank Redemption for $16.83 which is a great deal. I also saw some of the $14.83 titles that, I think, have not been mentioned here like TMNT, Land of the Dead, The Getaway.

They also have a lot of 2 for $10 HDDVDs (Transformers, Shrek the Third, etc). Transformers for $5. I'm jealous to HDDVD player owners. lol

Transformers on HDDVD = eac3 audio = 1536kb/s.
Transformers on Blu = TrueHD = 4500kb/s

Not that I'm knocking HDDVD (I own a player too), but I'd pay $25 for the Blu just for the better audio. Now, if the audio was TrueHD on the HDDVD.. then this would be a different story.

bajor27 · 06-23-2009, 09:24 AM

Was able to pick up Ultimate Avengers, The Condemned, and JCVD all for only $10 each.

Didn't realize JCVD didn't have lossless in North America though, so that will either be going back, up for trade, or up for sale. Will likely be importing the UK edition.

chowdachad · 06-23-2009, 10:55 PM

The 2/20's are actually just 10 dollars each, i only wanted jcvd and it came out to 11.20 after tax pretty sweet.

blurai · 06-24-2009, 12:56 AM

picked up the pink panther for 14.83
