Thanks to several WWEDVDNews readers for passing along the news of a WWE DVD promotion going on at Walmart stores. 2-packs of 2010/2011 PPVs available at just $6.96 each. For example, Hell in a Cell 2011 and 2010 bundled together as one pack.
Survivor Series, Extreme Rules, Elimination Chamber, Money in the Bank, Capitol Punishment/Fatal 4-Way, TLC, and Summerslam are also reportedly available.

My Wal-Mart just got the two packs in recently. Picked up the Survivor Series and TLC ones. Probably going to head back and pick up the Chamber and Extreme Rules ones too.
last bluray my walmart had was wm 28 they stoped since and also they dont got this sale god why cant all walmarts sel blurays and have these deals so stupid u gotta shop around
My Wal-Mart had the Wrestlemania display (it seems like twice, really). But doesn’t have this yet. If it doesn’t come soon, I’m almost tempted to try and contact one of you who has a sale in their market 🙂
as of right now my walmart doesn’t have this deal but i’m sure they’ll have it out same thing happened last time. also the thing i hate about my walmart and all walmarts around this areas is that they do not carry blu rays.
Aren’t all DVDs 480p? I just previewed HIAC ’09 and it is 480p MPEG-2. Has anybody compared the file size of a PPV from both the SD era and HD era of about equal length when you rip them from the DVD?
I live in Canada too and we hardly get these deals. US gets the WWE Blu-rays for $8 yet over here they still cost $30+.
The only deal i see Walmart have with WWE DVDs is usually a yearly clearance. They have cardboard display boxes with several ppvs and some 2-3 disc sets in the $5-$10 range.
Here’s me beating a dead horse. Once again no pre-show match included. And this was a Title change no less. Is it really that hard to include the pre-show match? At least on the Blu-ray for sure. I don’t know if it’s laziness or they just don’t care. Cyber Sunday 2008(which was well into the HD era) included the pre-show match and that was only on DVD. So HD or not, WWE can easily include a bonus without a problem. The presidence has been set a few times.
I’m not arguing with you, I’d like it included too. At the very least you’d think there’d be plenty of space on the blu ray for it. However, from WWE’s point of view, if you want to watch the title change then they want you to give them the extra views on youtube. All the PPV pre-shows are available to watch on there still. They must make something off the views, right?
I’ve wondered about it too…but i think its something to do with their exclusive contract with Youtube, but the WM28 tag title match was on DVD too, so i guess that excludes WM.
Wrestlemania probably is a different deal all together. They’ve put the pre-show match on the WM DVD every year since WM 21, even when the match didn’t air on TV or online. Of course that’s a 3 disc set compared to all other PPVs being 1 disc, they have to give you something extra for buying it.
Whether it’s a youtube issue, or a how much space is on the DVD issue, I doubt it’ll change anytime soon.
Also wal-mart is carrying various discount wwe Blu-Rays as well including Wrestlemania 25 and the John Cena Experience just to name a couple for $7.99 in the discount Blu-Ray center isle display.
Not to beat a dead horse but WWEATTITUDEERA hit the nail on the head, I would just like to add that perhaps the store exclusive content we have been seeing lately (BestBuy) should also be included on the Blu-Ray or on a store exclusive Blu-Ray that way consumers dont have to drop 50 bucks to get all the content a set can offer.
Anyone else getting really tired of the lazy “Matt Striker Interviews…” DVD extras? Back in the day PPV DVDs had a lot more to offer for extras than that. 🙁
Do remember since WWE went hd its takes up much more space on a regular dvd hence why extras are only limited 1 or if your lucky 2, old ppvs were shot in 480p and didnt take up much space hence why wwe included lot of extras but the quality was sometimes rubbish and there was lot of pixellation on screen, wwe want to relase the best picture on dvd since they went hd and dont want lot of pixellation on screen so they dont include extras anymore im afraid,
Time 2 jump to Blu-ray? Your missing out, the picutre and sound quality is astounding, and you get some nice bonus extras exclusive to the blu-ray and they take up less space and you can jump to another chapter to watch a different match without having to stop playback or go to the main menu with dvds, with blu-ray it just pops with the event or match still playing,
Trust me once you get wwe blu-rays you wont look back 🙂
Like mentioned back then ppvs were in 480i/p and they were often compressed. I recall some DVDs from 2000 and 2001 having some horrible pixellation issues – most likely due to compression with lots of lights, strobes, and fast action which why they had room to include lot of extras.
Definitely picking up the Blu-ray for Summerslam…ppv was great as is, the exclusives make it even better.

What walmarts are you buying at? Ive went to 3 different ones and hadnt found them
My Wal-Mart just got the two packs in recently. Picked up the Survivor Series and TLC ones. Probably going to head back and pick up the Chamber and Extreme Rules ones too.
hey man, need the Summerslam & HIAC sets, and my Walmart absolutely sucks (never has this good stuff…)
Amazon’s pre-order for Once In a Lifetime Blu-ray is messed up. I want to pre-order from Amazon directly but I only see third party vendors.
Yeah, been like that now for a while. I’m guessing it’ll fix just before the release date. Odd, it’s like they forgot this one.

… and then I found them. $50 bucks later and 14 new WWE DVDs…. only a couple doubles. Helluva sale, wouldn’t have been looking if not for this site!
as of right now my walmart doesn’t have this deal but i’m sure they’ll have it out same thing happened last time. also the thing i hate about my walmart and all walmarts around this areas is that they do not carry blu rays.
DEALS!
There are 8 total packs at my walmart, I only saw 3 blu-rays though
better than my lousy wal-mart…didn’t have the wrestlemania sale earlier this year, doesn’t have this. guess my Wally is just lame.
My Walmart sucks and doesn’t have this…could someone pick up the Summerslam and the HIAC sets for me? I’ll pay ya back…;)
I’ve been to 4 Walmarts and the only thing out of the ordinary was The Greatest Superstars of WM for $5 but I got it already… Are they for sale yet?
does anyone know if its just those ppvs or if theres like over the limit 2011 2010 or night of champs 2011 2010 ? or just the one stated ?
Aren’t all DVDs 480p? I just previewed HIAC ’09 and it is 480p MPEG-2. Has anybody compared the file size of a PPV from both the SD era and HD era of about equal length when you rip them from the DVD?
do they have this promotion in Canada n if its is how when will it

I may have to go to wal mart and check this out. A good opportunity to expand my collection.

The quality was fine?
