| Bboid said: My walmart has a 4 sided cube(3 sides movies 1 side the sale player) in the aisle of bluray, 1 end display of new release bluray and in the normal aisle 8 feet of blu ray movies and 8 feet of blu-ray players. They actually carry more blu-ray players than dvd now (which is strange and stupid to me) but their redesigned electronics dept focuses on HD entertainment. On a side note since you also find issue with price, check Amazon. If theres a specific movie you want to buy, find it on amazon, bookmark it, and check 2x a day and it will probably fall close to your price range soon. I managed to get Band of Brothers on blu-ray for $33.99 the saturday after black friday, and that price was only posted for 2 hours. I'm waiting for The Big Lebowski to be released on Blu-ray but it doesnt look likely. There is quite a high demand for it too. Just make sure you shop around for low prices and you can get most movies for $10-20 on blu-ray but sometimes it is B1G1 or B2G1. |
Wow! what part of the country do you live in? Our Walmart in Xenia, OH is the second largest in Ohio (200,000 sq ft), and has 2 Blu-ray players and just a small end-aisle Blu-ray display.
I just purchased a Blu-ray player, yesterday. Very nice on my 40" Bravia set. But they MUST GET THE PRICES DOWN. I purchased the player at Circuit City, went over to the Blu-ray disc aisle, and every stinking movie was $25 and up. Not a single title for less, and most of the popular movies were $35. I'm going to check out Walmart today and see what the prices are currently like.
By the way, I recommend the Panasonic DMP-BD35k for anyone wanting a standalone player. Very low profile, lots o' features, for about $300 (I wasn't going to buy until the prices came down further, but I received a sizeable bonus from work so I went for it).
