Ad scan says 40 gig hard drive.

I recd the flyer today from WalMart (Fathers day special) which clearly says 40 G, and 100 dollar GC exactly like the one going on Jun 1 thru Jun 7. So, I guess this time around they just added any Blu ray player gets a 100 GC

I already got mine and have to return one to the store which was purchased as a backup in case the online deal get cancelled for whatever reason. So far so good, it is all good.

Find out and report back here!

I couldn't see the dates on the ad either, could someone confirm this deal? And the ad also stated only 40 GB, I don't think the MGS4 bundle qualifies...yes, it is a blu-ray player, but it will probably be considered game console by Wal-Mart (unless you get a nice Customer Rep)..

Just saw this article on endgadget:

Given that $100 at Wal-Mart is essentially as good as cash, we can only imagine how titillating this offer may seem for Blu-ray holdouts. Announced today, the mega-retailer will be offering a $100 gift card with the purchase of any Blu-ray player from June 8th through 14th -- and yes, Sony's PlayStation 3 is included. In case this wasn't enough to maybe-possibly get the general public to actually pay attention to the format, Wally World will also sell "select" BD titles for $15 starting on the 8th. Since the format war ended earlier this year, we've seen report after report proclaiming that Blu-ray adoption just wasn't taking off here in America, but with a theoretical net price now close to $200 (albeit for a few days only), we can certainly see the masses taking notice at long last.

So yea, seems like the deal is good from June 8th-14th...If this includes the MGS4 bundle, I will be returning my PS3 to BB.

Also can anyone tell me how long it takes to get the Sony CC? I just signed up for one and it said 2 weeks and I am hoping it might be a little faster.

I wonder if I could get the bundle and then return it and rebuy it if I dont get my credit card in time.

from what I've read, the time ranges from 7-10 days, someone said he got it in 5 days cuz he lives close to where the CC's are sent out (I think its Wilmington, DE).

Yes but the ad also says "any" blueray player. So I think the two shown are merely examples.

It looks to me like WalMart is taking aim at best buy - new "test it out" area for games, expanding tv selection...with their ability to integrate electronics amongst larger shipping/distribution channels along with other classes of items, BB may have a hard time keeping up. Of course, this is totally dependent on how much of the market WalMart decides to take on. If they decide to, say, offer a full range of Panasonic plasmas along with Samsung LCD's to complement their existing, more "run of the mill" fare, then BB will have to change their home theater business model to reflect that competition. WalMart might not decide right off the bat to devote BestBuy-sized floor space exclusively to home theater, but they can certainly pick their battles and undercut BB pricing wherever and whenever they wish.

Has anyone here taken advantage of a similar deal and profited by sale on eBay of the PS3?

randall said:Just applied for the Sony CC. Approved instantly. Hopefully it will arrive here by next Wednesday so I can go to Wally World at midnight to pick this thing up. Thx op!

Yeah...Im doing the same thing. If I dont get the CC in time though I am going to return it and rebuy it if I can.

The funniest part about this though is I already jumped on the previous deal for the 40g...so now I have to return that one for a refund of $299.99 + tax. Gonna be a busy night Wednesday night!
