Walmart Star Wars III Bonus Disk (1 Viewer)

[Michael Fennessy]

Walmart is offering an exclusive bonus disk with the R2D2 and C3PO Documentary on it. I picked it up online in case I cannot get to the store that day.

 

[Jeff Jacobson]

Which documentary is that? Is it "R2-D2: Beneath the Dome", or something new?

There's a little more info here (and in some of the posts that follow):

and here is Wal Mart's listing:

I'm there!!!!!!!

Hell I'll douple-dip if Bestbuy has a bonus disc too.

 

[Aaron Silverman]

Only 15% off MSRP? That's pretty lame for such a major release. Maybe the bonus disc will be worth it.

 

[TravisR]

I'm just waiting until it's released. It'll be under $20 (and probably closer to $15) during its first week.

Not at my local Walmarts -- they never have great pricing on new releases.

 

[Nick_Scott]

Same here.
Not only do that usually NOT have the lowest price, they often refuse to price match as well.

The best example I remember is the StarWars EP2 release. Toys RUs was selling them for $9.99 ADVERTISED.
Walmart was $15.99.

I walked in with the flyer, and they refused to price match, saying that ToysRUs sold out, so they don't have to match.
SO, I complained to the Department Manager.
He said he was told that by the Store Manager.
I complained to him, and he told me he was told that by the "Regional Manager"
The Regional Manager told me "tough crap".

So, I called 1800-walmart, and complained. Asked to verify there price match policy. They told me I was right, and called the store directly.

Oh... eventually I got it for $9, but it took me ABOUT 2 HOURS of complaining. That was the last one I buy.
They still don't price match, and I just don't have 2 free hours to waste...

I read in one of the news items on the HTF home page that Wal-Mart will have two versions of the release: a regular version at the low price (like $15.99), and the bonus disc version at about $10 more.

 

[Mike Williams]

Most likely, the bonus disc version will be available with the Episode III DVD for $5 more, which is usually the case with Wal-Mart's bonus discs.

Should have gone to Circuit City. ABsolutely no problems with advertised prices...as long as the ads are CURRENT.

 

[Patrick.C]

That's how they always do it with their "bonus" discs. They're doing it that way with Cinderella in a few days too. But like Mike said, I doubt the difference in price will be $10 - probably more like $5.

I pre-orded Star Wars Episode III - on August 7 at Buy.com and with a $5.00 coupon off of a $45.00 order the cost ended up to be $10.89.

I also pre-ordered Polar Express - $16.99 and Robots - $15.98 and no shipping charge / or tax.

Guess I'm lucky. My local WM pricematched TRU at $9.97 (which they pointed out was better than $9.99!) for the entire week when AOTC came out.

Bad news is that the neighborhood their located in resembles a demilitarized zone.

I usually have no problem with circuit city price matching either, but I did for episode 2 and the toys r us ad.
teh cashier said "that ad was for full screen version only"
I asked for her manager.. the cashier called him on her phone.. he said.. "just ho ahead, match it." he didnt even come out.

Did some digging and DavisDVD has a little more info. The name of the doc will be "The Story of Star Wars" They have a very small coverart here: http://davisdvd.com/images/covers/storyofstarwars.jpg

Also, it seems that Hasbro has something on their web site similar to this doc but spread across 3 Personal Video Discs, have a look: http://www.hasbro.com/objects/produc...6/dn/print.cfm
