[vince_wrx]

I was just at the walmart at Morningside and 401 and they had some HD DVD on clearance i believe.

the harry potter movies where on sale for $14.66 each
American Gangster was $19.83
Balls of Fury $8.83
they had some other movies too but i can't remember them

I picked up
The Bourne Supremacy for $12.83
The Bourne Ultimatum for 19.83
Pan's Labyrinth for $6.83

[dreamwalker]

Pan's Labyrinth for $6.83

I'd go just for that movie :-0

[jonkaho]

i hope my Walmart has Balls of Fury for that price!

thanks!

[movieking]

Anyone else confirm?

[MoFuzz]

I can make a trip over there on my lunch break. Will see if its a store-wide sale or just limited to the one location.

Pan's Labyrinth in HD for $7 would be pretty awesome.

[RedFlagRobot]

If anyone in Ottawa drops by a Walmart, feel free to pick me up a Pan's Labyrinth :D

[krazynuck]

just went to the New Westminster location (Vancouver area)

and they are NOT doing this deal yet

The entire trilogy (in HD-DVD) was $29.99 US on Amazon.com. Even with shipping would have been less than that...

Sweet. I'll just hop in my time machine and pick it up! Ahhh, I'm just joshing! Hot prices, though...Funny how I was JUST at Wal-mart yesterday returning my Venturer HD DVD player, and then the HD DVDs start going on sale. Grr.

[shanomac317]

Anyone in Winnipeg find this?

[JayL]

price drops are confirmed at london locations, however they're all sold out.

[swaghunter]

I like how your purchase that day was the 3 HD DVDs and 2 cans of Chef Boyardee Ravioli! :lol:

I can't speak for u, but i know that would make one cozy movie nite for me :D

[vince_wrx]

transformers still had a regular price tag on it, i didn't check it since i already have it

[look30]

I'd go just for that movie :-0

[Laserheart]

Thanks for the post!

Anyone know if this is in Edmonton?

[Kohanz]

Planet Earth is $45 plus shipping on Amazon.com brand new...

well, if your local WM(s) are OOS, at least you still got the RV 2/$20 deal

for some of us, our local RVs have not stepped fwd for the 2/$20 clearance yet... :(

[i-rui]

thanks OP

Picked up the last Pans Labyrinth for $6.83 & also the last Hot Fuzz for $8.83 (not bad since it's a combo disc).

I was talking to the manager and she said she expects further drops on the other titles. Hopefully people will hold off on them until they're bellow that $10 mark (which is what I'm waiting for)

[spamblockers]

Your mileage may vary.

thanks!

[noob666]

confirmed at markville walmart

only like 10 disks left in total...........Pan, Bourne......that's about it

tag still in regular price, just scan it and you'll get the discount

[krazynuck]

did you try scanning the movies to check the price?

the prices where not marked down, although i did not scan them myself, so maybe they were jsut lazy to do so or did not know about the markdowns...


i did ask and was told that they were not marked down...BUT the guy was young probaly did not know...

i guess it should be country wide anyway....o well ill have to go back and scan them to see for sure

[Shoua]

Called my local Wal-Mart and it is a deal confirmed here in Kelowna, BC..................I will be heading down there later today to make me purchases :D

[swaghunter]

so if i ask them to scan the product at any Wal-Mart, it should show the discount price, even if it's not marked down?

like, does the Wal-mart HQ sync all their stores computers to scan at that price?

[cyberg4]

I just called the Edmonton south super-center and they don't have any deals yet. hopefully they get something soon.

[echlon]

I just got The Bourne Ultimatum and American Gangster for $19.83 nothing else was on sale, Transformers was still $33.83 or something and yes i scanned it. I still had the walmart $5 coupon left (I bought a swiffer and got it so dont stop yelling kk?) so good deal i guess

[shanomac317]

Winnipeg represent....come opn guys...no one check any Walmarts out here yet....its driving me nuts being stuck at work...I want Pans Labyrinth darn it.

[archimed]

I just called the Edmonton south super-center and they don't have any deals yet. hopefully they get something soon.

Thanks for checking. I'm going to return my Pan's Labyrinth at BB (I paid $26.xx!!) the second I find a copy at an edmonton WM.

[JS2K6]

price drops are confirmed at london locations, however they're all sold out.

Damn, nothing good left at all? I'll probably stop by just to make sure. Pan's for $6.83 and Hot Fuzz for $9 would be amazing.

[fastseven]

Thanks OP

Pan's Labyrinth 6.83
Bourne Supremacy 12.83
Balls Of Fury(combo) 8.83
Eastern Promises (combo) 8.83

:razz:

[belfour]

Thanks OP

Got Pan's for $6.83 - $5.00 (coupon I had) = $1.83 :D

Harry potter Order of Phoenix was $18 at my store...might get that when it drops to $15 then use my other $5 coupon..hehe..

[Corizzle]

Got:

Eastern Promises - $8.83
Hot Fuzz - $8.83
300 - $17.83 (only a couple bucks cheaper then FS but still)
Lucky # Slevin - $6.63

Thanks for the post, going to check a different Wal-Mart for Transformers and Zodiac later tonight and see if they are any cheaper. Can't believe the price on Hot Fuzz, supposed to be right up there with Planet Earth and Transformers as the best looking HD DVDs

[sandikosh]

so if i ask them to scan the product at any Wal-Mart, it should show the discount price, even if it's not marked down?

Head Office does the changes but it is the Department Manager's job to put it into effect.

[freakx2001]

anyone know if Beowulf or StarDust have been marked down? Is it only certain movie studies that are on sale?

[mabba18]

I can confirm Pan's Labyrinth for $6.83 @ Lincoln Field in Ottawa, one left as of 5:30pm. They had Balls of Furry, the first 4 HPs and some of the Bourne movies, but I didn't scan them.

Anybody seen Hot Fuzz or HP:OOP in Ottawa?

[cknewdeal]

Nice, I'll have a look at the southkeys walmart tomorrow when I get back to town. I'm hoping for Pan's and Eastern Promises. Thanks OP.

[krazynuck]

as i posted before i NOW can confirm that New Westminster location in Vancouver area DOES not have them on sale yet

with the exception of TROY which is marked down to 14.88

New Westmister = NO SALE
Lougheed = NO SALE
North Van = ?
Chilliwak = DEAL IS ON
Abbodsford = DEAL IS ON
Surrey = ?

[kcirtap78]

no price reductions in Vaudreuil,quebec. Scanned a bunch of titles all still at reg. price. :(

Was that at the Napanee Wal-Mart, because I was at the Kingston one a couple hours ago and the cheapest movie they had was Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas for $12.83 and the majority of the movies they had were still regular price, over $30 except for Bourne.

[lincoln]

Anyone know any details about London?

Yes, Napanee. I got the last of those movies but they still had Balls of Fury(which I am not interested in) and a couple dozen others at $12-$20 each. No Transformers or Zodiac though.

I'll be checking Belleville tonight and Kingston tomorrow, doesn't sound promising in Kingston I guess though

[JayL]

Damn, nothing good left at all? I'll probably stop by just to make sure. Pan's for $6.83 and Hot Fuzz for $9 would be amazing.

Although the lady on the phone said there had none of these titles left, I went to wal-mart to check it out anyways. Managed to find a few remaining titles left:

Eastern Promises- $8.83
Brokeback Mountain- $8.83
The Host- $6.83
Apollo 13 -$12.83 (really wanted this title)

The only thing there now is balls of fury which was pretty beat up (or else I would of bought that one too).

[kcirtap78]

:) think the manager at this Walmart is slow. Even when the Gamecube memory cards droped to 5$ it took a couple of weeks at this walmart. might try pointe-claire walmart tommorrow...

thanks, time saved

[JayL]

Also, try price matching a receipt, I managed to get FS to PM for eastern promises! got it for $5.83!

Just checked the Guildford Walmart in Surrey.

Had them scan the Bourne sequels, Zodiac, Transformers and Troy. Lowest price was on Troy for $14.88 as you mentioned. Everything else was regular price....I'll wait till the movies hit sub $10.

I may also check the Wal-mart near Delta/Surrey after work.

Does Wal-Mart PM themselves? If we get them to call Chilliwack or Abbotsford stores, would they honour sale price?

[Kurtz7834]

Went to Sherway and Islington / 401 Walmarts.

They have some of the sale movies. No stock of Pan's Labrynth.

Some prices which are in my opinion lukewarm at best, but maybe someone wants to get in on them:

Saw at Islington:
-Bourne Supr. - 12.83
-Bourne Ult. - 19.83
-Knocked Up - 19.83
-Chron of Riddick - 12.83
-Apollo 13 - 12.83
-Firewall - 17.83

Most of the movies are still regular price, for example Planet Earth is 89.83. In the end I bought nothing.

Checked it at lunch. Delta- No go. I scanned a bunch (No Pan's, or B. Supremacy) and the lowest was $14.88 for Troy.

[Viper98]

price drops are confirmed at london locations, however they're all sold out.


are all the london stores out?

I know the argyle location got rid of their HD DVDs quite a while ago but I kinda hoped some still had it :(

[vince_wrx]

just went to the markville walmart, its pretty much cleared out, they had one pans left and a few HP's, troy was on sale too i think, belwolf, transformers still regular price
HP-OOTP was 17.83, the first 4 HP are cheaper

[Kurtz7834]

To sum up this thread (I've hit two Walmarts myself), most of the good stuff (the sub $10 movies) is gone and there are a bunch of lukewarm deals. It is not all HD DVD titles on clearance or even most, just selected random titles.

[JayL]

Which locations did you call/visit?

called these locations
CLARK RD & DUNDAS ST
WELLINGTON RD & BRADLEY AVE
(they said they had nothing but balls of fury left)

went to the superstore, picked up the titles I listed above (nothing else was left).

[Kurtz7834]

Guys, don't bother heading to the stores tomorrow, anything good not already gone will be sold tonight, just my advice. The 2 stores I went to were already picked over by 6 pm tonight. Unfortunately the cheap movies are tagged at the low price so they will be snapped up by employees or anyone looking at them.

[MoFuzz]

(they said they had nothing but balls of fury left)


:lol:

[cute_honey]

Went to 401/morningside, kennedy/sheppard, vic park/eglinton, scarb town....all good stuff is gone....

[jesterwilly2004]

Blue Planet and Transformers are regular prices. I got the Kingdom ($39.83 regular) for $19ish.

[Kurtz7834]

Don't feel bad if you missed out, most Wal Marts had very few HD DVDs to begin with. Can't get in on all deals! I came up empty handed too.

[locodawg]

Pan's Labyrinth would have been a good addition ... oh well guess I have to wait till it drops some more on amazon.

[chdude3]

Pan's Labyrinth would have been a good addition ... oh well guess I have to wait till it drops some more on amazon.I stopped at 2 Walmarts on the way home. Snagged the last copy of Pan's Labyrinth at the first. There were copies of Balls of Fury, but I can't bring myself to pay even $8 for that tripe.

Otherwise it was just crap.

[locodawg]

Could you do a price match with futureshop?

[deal4real]

Winnipeg represent....come opn guys...no one check any Walmarts out here yet....its driving me nuts being stuck at work...I want Pans Labyrinth darn it.

On in Winnipeg Shane. Atonement was sub $10 on rack no copies. Also as others mentioned Pans and East Promises were sub $10 none on rack too.

Called Empress wally at noon and they had no clue but employee on phone said that if they were on sale he would buy them all... I guess we know were they went when manager updated the sale. Zodiac, Planet Earth and Transformers were still reg price.

Wally in Linden Ridge did not have mgr avail to update prices (coming in tomorrow) but some scanned in at sale price. No sub $10 titles there except one copy of pan's which I picked up for myself (sorry Shane) after I had them call empress for updated price (pans still rang up at reg price).

But found a few bourne Supr for $12 and Potters, Troy and alexander there for $14... Price is not updated on the rack so they will still be around.

One copy of Kingdom is there at $40. Someone mentioned that it is on for $19... didn't realize that. Oh well that flick IMHO is a good movie for demo material.

Good luck Peggers! (Thanks OP!)

[RedFlagRobot]

Let's post some more receipts guys/girls. Help out with the Price Matching. I went to the Ottawa WalMart by the train station. Pan's was scanning at regular price, but I PMed with the receipt posted here (sorry, last one). Thanks!

[gill2k]

Went to the Wal-Mart on Regent, here in Winnipeg, during my dinner break. I got the last copy of American Gangster for $19.83. Also picked up Bourne Ultimatum for $19.83. I think there's one Bourne left. Lots of Harry Potter discs still available... not sure if they're on sale, didn't bother checking.

[locodawg]

Went to 401/morningside, kennedy/sheppard, vic park/eglinton, scarb town....all good stuff is gone....

if anyone in toronto happens to see Pan's Labyrinth and doesn't mind picking it up that would be much appreciated ...

all the Walmarts close to me are cleaned out as posted by cute_honey

Updates on Walmarts stock would be great too, as this post just saved me probably an hour+ of driving around

[revenge7777]

Futureshop and best buy accepts printed recipts for price matching?

[tache14]

Nothing worth picking up..........mostly reg price.

Did see Eastern Promises, Atonement, Alexander at PoloPark on sale.

Still good prices on Amazon............
Futureshop also dropped prices on alot of titles,
nothing worth mentioning under $19.97.

[freakx2001]

So is there anything actually good on sale.. all I keep on seeing posted here in Pans Lab... not my style.

Like is there a lot of different movies sub $10?

[mahjongmaniac]

Also, try price matching a receipt, I managed to get FS to PM for eastern promises! got it for $5.83!

PMing might prove to be difficult if they decide to check stock, ... most stores might be OOS of the cheap movie titles already by the time you ask for a PM, since most RFDers are going straight to WM to buy as opposed to PMing

[RedFlagRobot]

Looks like someone's profiting ;)

Watched this flick in the theatre and found some parts to be disturbing but it is definately a classic flick. The HD-DVD version is a tad bit better in the HD extras vs Blu counterpart see excellent review on highdefdigest:
http://hddvd.highdefdigest.com/panslabyrinth.html

This disc is also on for the collectors as it was New Line's only HD-DVD release before Warner left:

Quote from http://www.highdefdigest.com/news/show/1351
As for 'Pan's Labyrinth,' which hit stores late last year as the first (and only) New Line HD DVD release, the studio says that once current retail supplies are depleted, the title will be discontinued -- making it an instant collector's item.

IMHO this is an excellent buy for $7, a great addition to your HD-DVD collection. Since it seems like Wallys are pretty much picked off of the Pan HD's try a PM at FS or BB. This is one title worth the effort.

PS - I do blu too... So no I am not an HD fanboy. :)

[mlc2000]

Planet Earth is $45 plus shipping on Amazon.com brand new...

a fellow RDFD'er is selling it for $45.

got batman begins for 14.88...my buddy wants one too but I got the last one...if anyone sees another one, could you please let me know which store...thanks

[enigmatik]

Troy @ 14.83

my gf was able to get the following at the Vic Park/Lawrence location:
all Harry Potter films for 14.83
Atonement @ 8.83

would really would liked to score:

Chronicles of Riddick
Eastern Promises

[wlee]

richmond hill WM had limited selection, only picked up Face/Off for $14.83

[vince_wrx]

anybody check the square 1 location yet? if not i'm gonna check it out tmr since i'll be in the area for a robotics competition

Checked with all edmonton locations - deal is definitely NOT available here. ;(

Thanks for the lookout. I found an atonement, but missed out on Pan's, would have even taken Balls of Fury.

[thriftynorge]

I know I should just let this go, but dude, WHAT are you talking about? You actually checked them? Was the deal not available as you claim, or was there no stock because I know of at least two Edmonton locations that had multiple titles on sale and in stock as late at 6pm. My girlfriend checked Clairview and a friend called me from South Common.

Please clarify your wording to address STOCK levels, or explain further.

I'm trying not to be pissy, but please don't speak in absolutes when you're dead wrong. How many Edmontonians got screwed by you reporting "NO DEAL in ALL Edmonton Walmarts"?

[Lancer2004]

So I went to the Belleville Wal-Mart.. They had "Eastern Promises" for $8. Picked that up... Beowulf was like 29.99 or some crap.. Each Harry Potter was 24.99 give or take a buck...

The Trenton Wal-Mart I couldnt find ANY hd-dvd's... So I asked the lady if they had any and she treated me like a moron. "Um, were you born yesterday? HD-DVD was canned; so obviously we sent all HD-DVD's back......" in the most sarcastic tone i've heard in a real LONG time... I was SO close to telling her off.. I just mumbled some things then left..

[Corizzle]

So is there anything actually good on sale.. all I keep on seeing posted here in Pans Lab... not my style.

Like is there a lot of different movies sub $10?

IMO Hot Fuzz is actually the best deal of any of them, $8.88 for a great action comedy and also one of the best looking HD DVDs. Tons upon tons of extras too

[Jovo]

Deal is ON at Lougheed Walmart. Lots of Harry Potters left but no Pan's or Hot Fuzz.

[cvrle1]

Checked North Van store, and not only that they didn't have this deal, they didn't have a single HD movie at all.

Asked 2 sales people where the HD movies went and both said that they sent them all back and are not carrying them any more

[doctorgonzo]

Damn. I was going to head to the SC location at around 9pm until I read that guy's post :(

I'll go first thing in the morning - hopefully some titles will still be available...

But it should be noted that I was there last week and most of the HD DVD movies were already gone. The only ones that the SC location had were new(er) releases. There weren't any of the older catalog titles available. I'm pretty sure a large majority of the titles were sent back.

I know I should just let this go, but dude, WHAT are you talking about? You actually checked them?

To clarify - I called the locations in Edmonton and in Sherwood Park, and the CSRs all said that the titles were not on sale. Since you've so graciously added an addendum to that information, obviously the CSRs didn't check or scan the stock, or were lying about it.

I was at the Clareview location two days ago and they had a total of 8 HD-DVDs on the shelf (not on sale, obviously). Most of them were copies of "Balls of Fury". So I'm not sure what titles you're referring to, unless they've restocked since then.

So, now that your spaz is over, could you let everyone else know:
- what was in stock and where
- if pricing was identical to the rest of the thread.

[blainehamilton]

Picked up an extra copy of Pan's Labyrinth while at the Hinton Wal Mart today. If anyone snags an extra copy of Eastern Promises, I'd love to do a trade and pay postage.


The other Edmonton posters were right, other than a couple of copies of American Gangster and Knocked Up, and some Harry Potter discs, along with other regular priced ones, there was nothing to be had. I looked. St Albert and Spruce Grove have no discs at all anymore.

Oh, there was 4 or 5 copies of Balls Of Fury at South Common. $8.83, bought one just to see Christopher Walkin in the show, that guy just does the wierdest roles...

[mahjongmaniac]

Some prices which are in my opinion lukewarm at best, but maybe someone wants to get in on them:

Saw at Islington:
-Bourne Supr. - 12.83
-Bourne Ult. - 19.83
-Knocked Up - 19.83
-Chron of Riddick - 12.83
-Apollo 13 - 12.83
-Firewall - 17.83

Most of the movies are still regular price, for example Planet Earth is 89.83. In the end I bought nothing.

i was only able to find Troy for $15. nothing was left that was <$15 :(

was considering Troy, but didn't think it was worth $15... maybe when it drops to ~$10 +/-

left w/ nothing too.

[Rjones]

Went to thornhill location tonite at 10:30pm they had TONS of stock only picked up Eastern promises & Inside man. I picked up Eastern promises so I can return my PV copy to Rogers but they only do exchanges and I really don't want to go through the hassle of trying to convince them to let me get a differnt title. So if anybody wants to trade Pans labyrinth for Eastern promises I'm in Markham and prefer to deal locally. blainehamilton if I get no local takers I'll PM you.

[Shoryuken]

a friend and I checked the two walmarts in calgary NW and found nothing cheaper than $10, other than some balls of fury at royal oak.

I picked up Troy and Alexander though for $14.66 each. I was going to pay that much from Deep Discount anyway.

would have really wanted a hot fuzz, but no luck.

thanks OP

[mahjongmaniac]

Checked North Van store, and not only that they didn't have this deal, they didn't have a single HD movie at all.

Asked 2 sales people where the HD movies went and both said that they sent them all back and are not carrying them any more

it's weird that one store decides to send all movies back, but other stores are putting select titles on clearance...

[Lancer2004]

it's weird that one store decides to send all movies back, but other stores are putting select titles on clearance...

Similar experience here too..

So I went to the Belleville Wal-Mart.. They had "Eastern Promises" for $8. Picked that up... Beowulf was like 29.99 or some crap.. Each Harry Potter was 24.99 give or take a buck...

The Trenton Wal-Mart I couldnt find ANY hd-dvd's... So I asked the lady if they had any and she treated me like a moron. "Um, were you born yesterday? HD-DVD was canned; so obviously we sent all HD-DVD's back......" in the most sarcastic tone i've heard in a real LONG time... I was SO close to telling her off.. I just mumbled some things then left..

[kidgoku]

I just picked up Blood Diamond HD DVD for $19.99 @ Futureshop

Got the last one

Will be going to walmart later to check for these deals.

[jonkaho]

found a copy of Hot Fuzz, thanks OP!

[dairymandip]

nothing at agincourt mall everything cleared out

[Damed]

I picked up Hot Fuzz and Pan's Labyrinth.

I really want Antonement. If anyone wants to trade, PM me.

[TurboTropic]

Stouffville superstore had about 15 titles left at 9:30 last night but nothing less than $14. All Harry Potters, Troy, Alexander, etc. No Eastern Promises, Pan's or Bourne's, i.e. the ones I actually want.

[TheGamer2400]

I just picked up Blood Diamond HD DVD for $19.99 @ Futureshop

Don't mean to burst your bubble, but this movie has been selling at that price for a while now.

[romm2002a]

well, if your local WM(s) are OOS, at least you still got the RV 2/$20 deal

for some of us, our local RVs have not stepped fwd for the 2/$20 clearance yet... :(

The RV that I went to did not honor the 2 for 20 on HD-DVDs.
Although, I did get star rewards for my purchase and was told that Planet Earth counts as 8 points because it was 4 discs.

[ghost80]

Good thing I left work a half hour early yesterday ... got the only copy of Pan's Labyrinth at the Scarborough Town Centre Wal-Mart! :)

[mlc2000]

Checked out Erin Mills Walmart at Burnhamthorpe and also Etobicoke/Sherway Walmart.

Only one cheap title, Balls of Fury.

You couldn't pay me to own that crap.

[Rhylliam]

Went to to Winnipeg Wal-marts yesterday. I picked up The Kingdom for $19.83 & We Were Soldiers for $14.83 at the Regent location. Nothing else there I wanted (no Pan's, Hot Fuzz, or Eastern Promises). Then went to St. Vital and they had less discs in stock, but they did have Alexander & Troy for $15.

A co-worker went to the Garden City store, also didn't see much worth purchasing.

[Peridium]

Thanks OP.

If anybody wants to trade titles send me a PM. I have Hot Fuzz and Eastern Promises. I'm looking for Pan's Labyrinth.

[need2save]

Checked out the three Walmarts in Mississauga early this morning. As reported above, the Erin Mills store only had one cheap title left, Balls of Fury (several copies left).

The 401/Argentia store had none of the cheap titles, but had a bigger selection than the first store. Reduced price titles I saw there that weren't at the first store included Bourne Supremacy & Ultimatum (quite a few copies), The Kingdom, and Elizabeth: The Golden Age.

Square One was a complete write-off. I never even noticed them having high-def movies before; I had to circle the floor a few times before realizing they're in a low glass case, stacked vertically on their sides! There was nothing of interest left (if there ever was).

[booyahchild01]

Went to the Brampton Supercentre (Queen/Airport) and I found one copy of Bourne Supremacy, about 3 copies of 300, and a few HPs. The rest were pretty much regular price (Transformers, Happy Feet, etc) They had very slim pickings though, and barely anything was left.

[Hooters23]

Was at the Barrie south store this morning. They had a pretty good selection there. I picked up Balls of Fury and Eastern Promises For $8.83 each and Van Helsing and Fast and the Furious for $12.83 each.

There was no Pan's or no Atonement.

There were others that were $14.83 such as Caddyshack and the older Harry Potters. I was surprised at the number of titles that they actually did have.

[Corizzle]

Went to Kingston, not marked down but will scan at the lower price if it exists. Obviously all the ones not down elsewhere still full price.

Went before University and picked up Knocked Up, Bourne Supremacy, Bourne Ultimatum, and American Gangster. Not sure if I will keep all of them but wanted to get them just in case, Selection was crap though. Nothing under the $12 I paid for Bourne Supremacy (I know $12 is the regular online price now but saved having to wait for it and shipping costs from Amazon or border tax from DD. For the people who are interested (I know a few from Kingston visit this board), they have copies of the 4 I got, We Were Soldiers, Troy and Alexander from what I can remember.

Still I got the only copy of Hot Fuzz in Napanee so I got the one I wanted most (I cancelled my order of $20 for it from DeepDiscount)

[Gooddayfishing]

Picked up at Trainyard WM in Ottawa last night.
Harry Potter 1,2,3 for $14.66 each
The Aviator $14.66
The Italian Job $14.83
Not advertised,you must scan these.
Many mentioned others here in this thread not on sale.

[jonkaho]

i saw a one copy of Happy Gilmore for 12.88 but it was put aside for an employee.

[romm2002a]

I was at the train yards yesterday around 4:00PM grabbed a whole bunch of HD-DVDs and scanned each one only to find a few that had descent prices and some that scanned at regular price and a few that had a buck or 2 off from the sticker price.

Don't bother going to South Keys location, they have nothing left.
Picked up Troy and Bourne Supremacy

[kidgoku]

I live 45 mins from Edmonton, and i Just picked up

Pan's Labyrinth $7 (Last copy)
Bourne Supremacy $12 (Last copy)
riddick $12

[TupperWoo]

just tried 2 walmarts - Super Center in Vaughan is mostly cleared out, they have a handful of Harry Potter at the counter (checkout) by the video games section. Other than that, all they had on the shelf was Beowulf and a few other titles.

Thornhill store has more than Vaughan, but they're both out of Pan's Lab. They do have Riddick and American Gangster to name a few (Payback as well). I picked up all 5 Harry Potter from Thornhill, but the latest 2 were $17.83. Total for all 5 was 89.99 - comparable to Amazon.com if you have to pay tax & duty, but I'm thinking if I should risk ordering the Gift Set from Amazon now for $71.49 instead ...

:-) or maybe taking my receipt over to BB and getting a PM

[ullyeus]

I live 45 mins from Edmonton, and i Just picked up

Not sure if i wanna say the name, It`s a small town and it`s embarrasseing living here,Can`t wait to move back to edmonton.

Maybe i`ll pm you the name

[mlc2000]

I guess there's a few people out there who didn't get 300 for free.

Its a lousy transfer anyways.

[gill2k]

How can you fault the transfer when the grain and other "degredation" put on the film's look was intentional? Even reviews out there gave the video transfer a near-perfect score. :confused:

[mahjongmaniac]

Harry Potter 1,2,3 for $14.66 each
The Aviator $14.66
The Italian Job $14.83

i saw those too, but price tags weren't updated. either way, price wasn't too attractive to me.

BTW, yesterday afternoon i saw a shopping cart 1/4 full of HD-DVDs, but it was just left there in the electronics aisle. i'm guessing an RFDer came by to scan ALL the HD-DVDs to see if there were any cheap ones... heh

[Nubee]

Was at Thornhill wallymart this morning and picked up Eastern Promises and The Kingdom. Saw a copy of Hot Fuzz but don't like it. No Pan's Labyrinth which I was really after. They still have quite a selection which I haven't seen in other wallmarts.

[Damed]

I've got Hot Fuzz, Pan's Labyrinth and Bourne Supremacy.

I'd trade 1 for 1 for Balls of Fury or Atonement.

[Belfour20]

Went to the Wal-Mart here in Cornwall, Ontario. Not much left in terms of HD-DVD. Picked up Bourne Supremacy seeing as it was the only one I was missing out of the 3.

They had 1 copy of American Gangster and Bourne Supremacy left. Bunch of The Departed, Harry Potters, Troy, Bourne Ultimatum, etc... Still had a lot at regular price like Shrek 3, Happy Feet, Into The Wild, Heroes S1, Planet Earth.

No sign of Pan's, Hot Fuzz, Riddick, or Balls of Fury anywhere in the store (even looked behind the blu-rays to see if some were hidden) >:(

[Iggynatz]

Woodbridge location had the first 4 HP, one of the Bournes, not much else. No Pan's, no Hot Fuzz, which is what I was hoping for. If ANYBODY actually does not have King Kong, I would trade my unopened second copy for Hot Fuzz. Not expecting any offers, but thought I would throw it out there.

The above were all marked with the lowered prices. Transformers, Zodiac, et al were all reg price.

[WontonTiger]

Good thing I left work a half hour early yesterday ... got the only copy of Pan's Labyrinth at the Scarborough Town Centre Wal-Mart! :)

LOL, I did the same, and got the 2nd last copy. Aside from some over $10 HD DVDs, there was hardly any selection. The guy at the cash was just upset that he would have to reprice the packages...

Walmart clears out that product so quickly. There is so much traffic in their stores, it is hard to get any of the limited quantity deals.

Thanks op, I love Pan's, just wish I could have got Hot Fuzz as well.

[ppl4golf]

I've got Hot Fuzz, Pan's Labyrinth and Bourne Supremacy.

Sending you a PM!

[movieking]

My Walmarts are usually a few days to a week behind, but I'll check it out. Some should compile a list of the cheap HDs available at Walmart, so there aren't carts full of HDs left by the scanners. Any volunteers?

[kcirtap78]

vaudreuil-dorion walmart lowered prices today at about 11:30. i got there as the girl was putting the movies back on the shelf after re tagging with new prices. Had one copy of Pan's and one copy of apollo 13. grabed both. Thay had a bunch of other stuff priced between 14$ - 19$. harry potter, the kingdom, four bothers. No hot fuzz or atonement anywhere to be found.

[Ammut]

No HDDVDs at St Albert Walmart... and surprisingly few Blu-ray movies. Clerk said they were all shipped back to head office, didn't know if they'd be coming back clearance price.

[doctorgonzo]

Picked up these at the Edmonton South Common location.

Jarhead $12.xx
Aviator $14.xx
Bourne Ultimatum $19.xx
American Gangster $19.xx
Balls of Fury $8.xx

Bourne Ultimatum and American Gangster were not the greatest for price but regular SD DVD of these are priced higher so still some savings...

Not too much selection - there was till a number of discs that were still at regular price. I was hoping that Planet Earth would be discounted but still scanned at full price.

[Nacho]

Just went to a Walmart in St. John's, the movies scan at the lower prices, but aren't marked. The only one in stock in the $8 range was Hot Fuzz (I picked up the last one). They had a couple at $13, and a few at $15. All the newer releases (blood diamond, the departed, knocked up, etc) were all discounted but all $20 or higher.

[mdc3000]

Walmart Guelph has prices reduced and marked for all the Harry Potters, Aviator, Invaision, Bourne Ultimatum etc. but they didn't have any Pan's, Balls of Fury or Atonement which is what I was looking for...boo!

[locodawg]

Just a heads up to all the HD-DVD hunters ....

On lunch went to Futureshop and HMV ... (yonge and eglinton area)

Futureshop said --- they will be sending back all HD-DVDs to the manufacture ... which I still dont understand

HMV -- said there should be a HD clear out in the coming week or so

SOO now we wait and see ....

[lostradamus]

Can't make it out to Walmart :(
Does anyone have an extra copy of Hot Fuzz, Eastern Promises, HP, Pan to sell? Meet downtown Toronto?

Was wondering....same outrageous prices as always at HMV.

Of course, knowing HMV, they'll only reduce them to $20 or so and they'll still be cheaper at Amazon.

[JuGGERNAUT]

I went to Nordel Surrey Wallmart and Queensboro Walmart. Only thing I saw worth spending money on was The Departed and The Kingdom...both were regular price. There was 1 copy of Sky Captain at the Queensboro Walmart for $20.

Tempted to buy Hot Fuzz on amazon.com

[goqcom]

No luck at Westbrook Walmart in Calgary. Anyone finding deals in Calgary?

Don't you know FS/BB are high class, they don't want to be bother by us the cheapskates.

They sooner return all theirs HD DVD collections to their distributor rather than cannibalize their overprice and dust-collecting library of DVD and BR.

How much do you guys think the cost is to produce a HD-DVD? Including production, transportation and lincencing.

Around $10?

[RedFlagRobot]

I would say more than $10 if you include licensing. I don't think the stores make a tonne off of discs - It's the studios that get the most money.

I went to the store on Memorial NE. Found nothing. The staff coldly said, 'We only carry Blu-ray.' As if HD-DVD never existed in their store.:mad:

[Xelloss]

Edmonton Capilano Wal-Mart has a reasonable selection of HD-DVD (2 shelves on an end unit near the front of the Electronics section).

Most are in the $15 range ($14.66 and $14.83).
Some of the titles I saw for $15 were Alexander, Troy, 300, Aeon Flux, Aviator, Tomb Raider, the Harry Potter movies, Top Gun, and a bunch of older titles.

Bourne Ultimatum was just under $20.

There were still some at regular price (I.E. Transformers and Happy Feet were priced at regular price, and scanned in at regular price when I checked).

Nothing under $14 as far as I can see (probably cleaned out by fellow RFDers already).

[Corizzle]

I would say more than $10 if you include licensing. I don't think the stores make a tonne off of discs - It's the studios that get the most money.

The disks don't actually take that much to make. That was one of the main benefits of HD DVD to a company, they are made using the same process and machines as regular DVDs whereas BluRay require new machines and factories to build. I would assume they do take more then DVD.

[shuffle]

No sales at 130th or Macleod Tr & Southland either :(

Shawnessy had some: Grabbed Eastern Promises ($8.xx), Bourne ($12.xx), and Hot Fuzz ($8.xx).

[TupperWoo]

Did you read that somewhere or is it based on the fact that HD-DVD is an extension of DVD technology whereas BD is a different laser/disc layout (just asking out of curiosity, not doubting you)

I wouldn't go as far as saying a new factory is needed though.

I wouldn't be surprised if it cost under $0.25 to physically make the discs. No idea how much the licensing costs. It's like the gas price breakdown you see at the pumps, except it's not the government taking the big cut (at least not this time)

[mitsui]

why u guys keep on buying hd dvds when it's a dead format?
and u guys know too well that hd dvds will drop below $5 during the last phase of the clearence
maybe 2-3 months before the big summer season hits?

people keep buying these hddvd's because they are cheap. Our hddvd players didn't stop working all of a sudden. Find me pan's labyrinth for 7$ in bluray?

[doctorgonzo]

If this deal doesn't appeal to you then move on.

By the time movies are at $5 it'll only be movies from 40 years ago where the transfer job was terrible and only on par with SD DVD.

2 out of 3 Walmarts already had the prices stickered correctly. Grabbed all of the Harry Potter movies, plus Hot Fuzz. Really wanted to get Pan's Labyrinth, but none were left.

why u blu boi circle jerks keep trolling every HD DVD thread when it's only dead in retail?
and u fanbois know too well that Blu Rays will never drop below $10 for films like these, even on clearance
maybe 2-3 years once BD profile 7.6 is out and you have bought your seventh $400 Blu Ray player?

[JJpach]

Given the fact that some people here "got paid" to own a HDDVD player, spending $15 for a movie is like having Scarlett Johansson flirting with them.

It's a wet dream come true.

If you can buy a BD player for $50 and get a $50 GC, I bet you'll do the same.

I think it is common knowledge on BR blogs that all HDDVD players will soon explode and possibly burn the whole house on fire. Obviously the more HDDVDs you buy the better chance it may happen...:D

[chutster]

I picked up these titles at Richmond Hill Walmart last night:

American Gangster $19.83
Bourne Ultimatum $19.83
Chuck & Larry $19.83
Reaping $17.83
Beowulf $29.83

I've decided not to keep them. But if any of you happen to be interested and want to make sure you can secure a copy, I can sell them to you at cost, before I return them to the store.

PM me.

[cheaper_than_cheap]

Langley Walmart has no clearance HD-DVD's, the employees looked at me like i was making it up because their HD-DVD's are still priced at $30-$35
I was there last night and they didn't have any clearance prices marked, but some scanned in at a discount. I checked 4. Troy was $14.xx (picked that one up), 300 was just under $20, Bourne 2 & 3 were at regular price. Those were the only ones that interested me.

[randomdef]

I was at South Edmonton Common Walmart today, not much left. I didn't pick up anything, it had been rifled through pretty good.

i'm doubting ^that would happen,... by that time, there wouldn't be any HD-DVDs remaining (except maybe for crappy titles)...

most on here are buying all the ones that are ~$10 or less.

by the time it actually hits $5 (if it does), there prbly won't be any left.

only balls of fury were clearance

Argyle Walmart had one copy TROY as of 3:45pm today. Didn;t check price.

[Laserheart]

Any more Ball of Fury at south Edmonton common?

Yes, I was just there, and they had 5 copies for just under $9.

[Laserheart]

Thanks for the posting... got Aviator and Mad Max 2 for $14 each... they still had about a few dozen movies left... unfortunately, no Atonement or American Gangsters left...

[freakx2001]

was in the Barrhaven Walmart, and they had a pretty good selection of movies. had Atonement in my hands, but it had a $32 price tag on it, then a walmart UPC on the back for the same price, I scanned the real upc but it wasn't found in their system, guess that walmart didn't get the memo. Brang it to the cash, and the cashier was useless, so I just gave up on it.

I'm not really interested in that movie,but was gonna pick it up to see if anyone wanted to trade.

[kcirtap78]

was at the walmart in kirkland,quebec. no pan's, no hot fuzz, no eastern promises. few hddvd's at 14- 19$. couple of harry potters. nothing very interesting...

[archimed]

Edmonton Capilano Wal-Mart has a reasonable selection of HD-DVD (2 shelves on an end unit near the front of the Electronics section).

Most are in the $15 range ($14.66 and $14.83).
Some of the titles I saw for $15 were Alexander, Troy, 300, Aeon Flux, Aviator, Tomb Raider, the Harry Potter movies, Top Gun, and a bunch of older titles.

Bourne Ultimatum was just under $20.

There were still some at regular price (I.E. Transformers and Happy Feet were priced at regular price, and scanned in at regular price when I checked).

Nothing under $14 as far as I can see (probably cleaned out by fellow RFDers already).

I visited the same location this afternoon - saw the same stuff that you did. I really wanted Pan's Labyrinth and Children of Men but it had neither.

[MonsieurMax]

Went this morning just before university... still 3 shelves of HD DVD left (5 of Blu).

Wasn't able to find Pan's nor Eastern Promises, but I did pick up...

- Inside man 12.83$
- The Chronicles of Riddick 12.83$
- Face/Off 14.83$
- Beowulf 4.83$

Yes!!!! You've read that right!

There was 3 copies of Beowulf with a green sticker price of 14.83$. It scanned at 29.83$. So I got the price protection thing... 10$ off because it scanned higher than the stickered price!

There was two other left... I will see if I could grab those tomorrow... they might have corrected their mistake, if anybody is interested... let me know!

Oh Snap.. that is a nice price of Beowulf.. I would kill to find it at that price!

[GreenEggsAndSpam]

I managed to pick up Eastern Promises for 8.XX and Apollo 13 for 12.XX in a Mount Pearl store last night. There was a bunch of sale but I already own so many that there was nothing there I wanted.
A friend bought Chronicles of Riddick and Pitch Black for 12.83 each.

I would love to find Atonement though, but I checked every store. All the St. John's stores stopped getting HD DVD's a nice while ago so whatever they have left was sent back to companies. For some reason they did stock a new HD movie every few months or so, so I guess they weren't dropped completely.

EDIT: Very nice deal on Beowulf btw. I wanted to pick it up but at 30 dollars I wasn't that interested. All the copies around here too had the original price stick on it too, so I guess you got lucky :)

[shopper-X]

The Eastend Regina Walmart has not dropped the price on anything except Balls of Fury for 8.88 (or something).

I'll have to check the North and South ones when I have time.

[neo1973]

Went to two walmarts after work. All the cheap titles are gone. :mad:

Just a quick update.

I swung by the Markville Mall Wal-Mart just before 9 this morning. Only a few HDDVD's left. 1 Zodiac, 1 Transformers, 2-3 Bourne Ultimatums (scanned @ $19.83) 2 300's, 2-3 Harry Potters (scanned @ $14.66), Beowulf (scanned @ $19.83) also found 1 hidden copy of Troy ripped up/plastic pretty much teared however and scanned at $18.83 I believe. Didn't bother buying anything. These prices don't seem all that good to me.

Transformers is scanning in at $33.93 where I am.

Other then Amazon.com and DeepDiscount.com are there anyother cheap HD-DVD sites that ship to Canada at a reasonable price?

Yea I didn't bother scanning the Transformers as I already have that. But Amazon and DeepDiscount were the couple of sites having some great sales on HDDVD's a while back. You other best bet is I guess waiting for HMV to have a sale or check the BST forums. I've got a couple great deals found on the BST.

[movieking]

Transformers scanned at the higher sticker price for me as well.

[inferno_gn]

Hi there,

Wal-Mart Lasalle for zero HD-DVD, they told me they shipped them out a while back.

Ju Leon...

[farx8]

has anyone tried to price match with FS or BB??

I went to Richmond hill futureshop today and was able to get them to price match Pan's Labrynth for $6.83. Sorry no more copies were left.

What I did was, I showed the manager the receipt posted on this thread of Wal-mart selling the hddvd for that price. The manager said if we call Wal mart and they confirm the price, then we'll price match it. So they called wal-mart and ofcourse the associate working there had no idea of the price reduction and said no we dont have it for sale. The Futureshop associate then told me sorry no deal.. So then me being so vigilant, I called up walmart myself read them the upc code from the hd dvd, they were able to check their system and thankfully it showed up as 6.83, so i got the futureshope guy to call walmart again they confirmed it and i got the price match :)..

You guys can try this out at other futureshops or bestbuy.. but i think i got lucky cause usually the product has to be in stock at walmart for them to pricematch it. if anyone wants i can scan my receipt as proof.. :)....

[Snowy]

I would say more than $10 if you include licensing. I don't think the stores make a tonne off of discs - It's the studios that get the most money.

More like $1 LOL (well probably $2 at most).

Well wnet to the following...

New Wesminister
Surrey Guilford town center
Surrey 88th

Only 88th still had multiples of HarryP titles in stock not at the sale prices. NO Fuzz and no Labyrinth though, all stores seemed to have been raided (got there midday), I think the sale has been on at New West for a few days at least - The employees mentioned repricing them yesterday - and most WM's are slow to do that lol

Methinks someone thinks the resale value is good LOL The movie networks would have to be nuts not to atleast consider making combo (DVD/HD-DVD) discs - and there is at least one to come 'I am Legend' on April 8th :)

Edit: Thinking on Gulford I think had the Bourne Ult there. oh and so did New West.

[DarKrID3r]

i havent read the whole thing , but people buying Bournes for 15-19 $ each should really consider the trilogy for 29$ on amazon. got them 4 open days after i passed the order with xpress shipping....

[joeags]

Felt a bit embarrassed doing this, but I did the same as farx8, except got Eastern Promises and Pan's Labyrinth. They didn't call or anything, just checked the UPC #s on the receipts. But they weren't thrilled, especially when I was pulling out the scan from the early post for Pan's. I had a receipt already for EP that I successfully purchased earlier from WM.

No 10% price difference, but they were nice enough to do a price match when there was no way anything was in stock. Still wish I had gotten Stark Trek S1 when it was available...

The Eastend Regina Walmart has not dropped the price on anything except Balls of Fury for 8.88 (or something).

I'll have to check the North and South ones when I have time.

North had about 4 Harry Potter titles at $14.xx
Everything else was full price.

South had very little stock of anything, and what they had was full price.

[nbmz]

The riddick discs were available at the thornhill wal-mart for $12.88 yesterday...but no fuzz!
Also got mission impossible 1/2 at the rexdale wal-mart for $14.88, as well as hustle and flow, as well as the borne supremacy/ultimatum for 12.88/17.xx. They have a decent selection at the rexdale store.

If anyone wants to sell/trade their copy of hot fuzz, let me know. :D

[gill2k]

Picked up Bourne Supremacy for $13.83 at Wal-Mart on McPhillips (Winnipeg) around midnight. Not much selection left located right under the Blu-Ray shelf. Some of the titles that are still there: Mission Impossible 1 and 2, Troy, etc.

[shopper-X]

North had about 4 Harry Potter titles at $14.xx
Everything else was full price.

South had very little stock of anything, and what they had was full price.

Thanks, this saves me a trip at lunch today.
Time to buy off Amazon.com. Do they ship from the US warehouse or Canadian warehouse?

[mabba18]

@ Barrhaven: 2 HP:OOO for $17.xx, Shrink warp was torn almost off, and it's warm price at best. Everything else was reg. price.

[newked]

I was able to have a look at the price sheet since the guy was nice enough to show me... so I wrote down some that were under 10$ but they hadn't changed the prices at the location I went at ( trainyards in ottawa ) and the stock was slim... anyways here it is...


Hot fuzz 8.83
Balls of fury 8.83
Brokeback mountain 8.83
Atonement 8.83
Derailed 6.83
Waist Deep 8.83 or 6.83 I forget
Lucky Number Slevin 8.83 or 6.83 I forget
Fearless 8.83

Thanks for that, I can say that these were all sold out in Surrey and New Wesminister areas

[_pOtEnZa_]

balls of fury - 8.83
apolo 13 - 12.83
bourne supremacy : 12.83

i got 2 of balls, appolo, bourne and elizabeth if a fellow RFDer wants to pick them up in longueuil (near marie-victorin) at cost or else ill return them...

or would like to trade for others (would LOVE eastern promises)

[shanomac317]

anyone willing to sell their Derailed?

[Corizzle]

i havent read the whole thing , but people buying Bournes for 15-19 $ each should really consider the trilogy for 29$ on amazon. got them 4 open days after i passed the order with xpress shipping....

That is sold out and unavailable, if you find a Wal-Mart with all 3 then you can get all 3 for around $40, which is only $10 more.

[krazynuck]

the New wesminster one had absolute crap when i went there....and that was right after the OP posted the sale....all i could find was Troy on sale....and they maybe had 9-10 different titles and most of those were crap anyway.... dont feel u missed out on anything....tehre was never anything there to loose out on

[doctorgonzo]

The only real deals are the titles for <$9.

Just about everything else can be found on amazon.com or deepdiscount for cheaper. There are a ton of titles on each site for <$10.

[CHINAdeals]

Walmart Guelph has prices reduced and marked for all the Harry Potters, Aviator, Invaision, Bourne Ultimatum etc. but they didn't have any Pan's, Balls of Fury or Atonement which is what I was looking for...boo!

thanks for posting!

walmart kitchener (sunrise) doesnt' have any of the cheaper titles. only balls of fury. and i think 1 bourne..supremacy

[Rhylliam]

Last night, my boss was kind enough to call me when he was at the Wpg. McPhillips location. He snagged Smokin' Aces (19.83), Mission Impossible 1 & 2 (14.83 ea.) & Four Brothers (14.83) for me. For himself he got The Aviator & We Were Soldiers for 14.83 each. There were apparently still a couple left of each.

I really don't want to have to mess around tracking these discs down on eBay later on, so I'm glad I've been able to get these now.

[MoFuzz]

I also went to a few local Walmart's in Surrey/Delta just a few hours after the OP posted this. Nothing to be had there either. Although, it's possible that this sale had been going on before deal was posted. Employees didn't seem to know anything regarding the sale either.

Looks like a couple have had luck PM'ing with receipts posted online?

[spong]

I went to my Local Best Buys and it was joining the HDDVD sales wave. So check out your local BBs.

Picked up the followings:

Appollo 13 $12.95
The Stint $12.95
Ball of Fury $6.95
Pan's Labyrinth for $6.95

Still trying to find the Bourne trilogy

[IceBlueShoes12]

Just got back from finding a Venturer HD-DVD player at Wallyworld in Guelph.
They had 1 left as of 1:45ish today. Came w/ 2 movies (Perfect Storm and Rumour has it)
Didn't have much in stock in terms of sales. Not for cheap anyways.

What the hell am I gonna do w/ "Rumour has it" now?!

Anyone know if FS is also doing a blowout on HD-DVD's?

Also is 300 a flipper disc?

[Corizzle]

If you want Hot Fuzz, you can also check HMV. Don't know how wide it is but Kingston's HMV had Hot Fuzz HD DVD for $9.99 today. Everything else was 2/$50 or higher still though except for Knocked Up at $19.99

Had no Pan's Labyrinth so don't know if it is down or not

[shopper-X]

Went to BB in Regina and another guy was already getting almost every HD-DVD scanned so I joined in and grabbed the ones that I wanted. The Universial ones are on sale for $18.99 and under.

Picked up:
Eastern Promises = $7.99
Hot Fuzz = $7.99
Pan's Labyrinth= $7.99
Pride and Prejudice = $12.99
Bourne Supremacy = $12.99
Bourne Ultimatum = $18.99
Transformers = $22.99 (same as website)

I was going to say funny because the other week there were loads LOL - the other post in this thread says the sale started on the 21st - so we were both a little late me more so than you lol

[nbmz]

:D

Unbelievable...they must've dropped their prices recently!

Says it all. All titles that are on sale in Walmart are available online at hmv.ca as we speak.

Happy shopping! Search for "HDD" under DVDs, and sort by price.

D

[jgib01]

If anyone sees a significant pricedrop on Heroes, could you be so kind as to alert this thread (a PM would be very much appreciated as well!). 3 copies left at my local, but no change from $90 price so far.

[ajdornier]

Argh - went to HMV.ca and ordered 4 HD's online. Free shipping :D

[ATLien69]

How did you get free shipping? Shipping comes to $8.00 for four HD-DVD's for me?!?!?!

Argh - went to HMV.ca and ordered 4 HD's online. Free shipping :D

[ajdornier]

You have to click the "free shipping" option at checkout. But this is only available if your total order is $39 or more. Oh yeah - one more thing - on my order status now it says "awaiting for supplier to fill order". Now if the suppliers aren't supplying any more HD's then.....good luck?

[Rjones]

How do you find the HDDVDs on hmv website? is there a direct link to a list?

Thanks. Picked up 6 Movies for $54 tax in plus free shipping. Great deal IMO.

[mahjongmaniac]

I was told by the employee at one Walmart that it began on Fri 21st. Apparently they even changed the price stickers for the sale titles. I guess the other Walmarts just got around to it a few days later, and in some cases not at all lol

that's weird.
s/b i "know" working at WM claimed that the sale started the day this deal was posted, which was the same day i went to WM to search for the HD-DVDs (but to no avail., all good ones were OOS)

[Lost Monkey]

On Wednesday night (this past week) all the sale titles were still scanning at reg price here in Windsor - Thursday morning (27th) they were all discounted...

Then again - we had the GCN memory cards still scanning at $20 when they were $5 everywhere else...

[mahjongmaniac]

Then again - we had the GCN memory cards still scanning at $20 when they were $5 everywhere else...

a recent flyer advertised the GCN MCs for $4.93 "EDLP", so i can't understand why your's is scanning at $20.

if you can still find that flyer, bring it in and apply SCOP to get it for free :razz:

[i-rui]

I picked up some extra copies for my brother, but he actually picked up his own today as well.

So i have Still sealed copies of :

Lucky # Sleven
Pan's Labyrinth
Eastern Promises (HD / DVD combo)
Hot Fuzz (HD / DVD combo)

Basically i'd like to trade for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, or Lost in Translation which i couldn't find.

I'd also be up for potentially other HD DVDS (Blu-Ray too!) They don't have to be sealed.... just in excellent condition.

I'm located in Etobicoke (401 & Islington) is anyones interested PM me.... otherwise i'll put them on craigslist.

Not true. The sale started on the day this topic was created, on the 26th.

[majekhoho]

I didn't find it yesterday in Scarbo Walmart.

[hamdude_1234]

Picked up Borne Ultimatum at wal mart ancaster.. 19.99 and luckily still had two of those downy 5.00 off any dvd coupons from after boxing day. final price 14.99.

[kuzi]

I picked up extras of Bourne Identity and 300 from the Best Buy deal...anyone want to trade for Batman, Transformers, or Superman Returns or any Blu-Ray movies you may have from the Wal-mart deal? I'm especially looking for Planet Earth or Ultimate Matrix Collection and I'm willing to pay cash for the difference.

Oops - I meant that after the RFD reports started coming in it was about 2 weeks before they started scanning at $4.93 here..

[2k4accord]

i checked a Wal-mart super centre in Edmonton's south common.
I scaned a few HD-DVD using their "price check" and I only find Troy HD-DVD is marked down 14.99.
I also tried Departed, Blue planet and Blood diamond but they still come up as regular price, the same as their stickers.

[broc]

My Walmart had none of the discounted titles.

Beowulf was 29.99. I didn't bother scanning the others..

[chuckfredgoose]

I have Rumor Has it and King Kong. New and still sealed.

I just want to sell them. Not really looking for trades.

Not with the Venture one's at Walmart.

Just a notice for people still trolling Walmart for deals (like I am :)), some of the stores have pulled ALL the HD DVDs from the sales floor.

Both the Scarborough Town Centre and Islington/401 stores have done this as of last night, I don't know if other stores will start or whether it was strictly an in-store decision.

2 Walmarts i went to did the same thing too. They told me they were being sent back.

[shopper-X]

What is Walmart's return policy?
I bought Bourne Ultimatium for $20 then bought it from BB with a GC for $19 (hoping it goes down soon).
My Walmart has not dropped the prices.

I bought American Gangster combo disc for $19...Is it worth keeping (or refunding) ?
I haven't watched the series before..is it something that you'll watch more than once :?: :?:

[Kohanz]

Went by London south Walmart. Only decent deal was Bourne Supremacy for $12.99, but I didn't pick it up, I still think I'll be seeing better deals. It has to be dirt cheap for me to add to my collection ;)

[kcirtap78]

some employee at local at local walmart messed up. Got the kingdom for 4.66$ and Knocked up for 4.83$. The kingdom scanned in at 19.83 and stick was 14.83 so got it for 4.83$ ( -10$ for scanning policy). Same thing with Knocked up scanned at 19.83 and sticker was 14.66$, so got it for 4.66$ ( -10$ for scanning policy). At first the girl was like ok we will leave you one at 4.66$ and they other at 14.83$. I told her no they both get 10$ off seeing as it is not the same item. She called over the manager and he told her i was right. 10.71 tax included for both movies. These were last copy of both movies in store. :)

a MOVIE IN DIRE NEED OF EDITTING.

TOO LONG.

[Corizzle]

a MOVIE IN DIRE NEED OF EDITTING.

TOO LONG.

Assassination of Jesse James could have used an editing much more then American Gangster. Although I think both would have been better around the 2:10 or 2:20 mark, rather then the 2:40-3:00 mark.

At least they didn't release the monster 4 hour cut of Assassination of Jesse James...

[mahjongmaniac]

I also tried Departed, Blue planet and Blood diamond but they still come up as regular price, the same as their stickers.

regardless of being marked-down or not, according to others, Troy was already scanning in at $14.XX since last wk.

[movieking]

FWIW, there are two versions of Troy on HD, the theatrical and the director's cut. I think that both are now available for $14.XX

[JuGGERNAUT]

Directors cut of Troy is the one to get.....longer battle sequences and more gore.

[movieking]

Agreed.

[_pOtEnZa_]

no more hd-dvd stock at quartier 10/30 walmart in brossard, its all blu now :P

[doctorgonzo]

The Edson location still had around 100 HDDVDs.

Pans Labyrinth 6.99
Hot Fuzz 8.99
Eastern Promises 8.99

There were a bunch @ 12.99, 14.99,17.99, and 18.99:

TMNT
Bourne Ultimatum
The Invasion
Alexander
The Departed
Troy
and a lot of others I can't remember.

I considered grabbing some Pans and Fuzz copies for traders but decided trading was way too much of a hassle.
