    Yep, that's exactly what I discovered when rummaging through the blue bin at my first stop. I picked up X2 and will probably get Quantum of Solace another time. It'd be a bummer if they don't have Casino Royale.

      Casino Royale was available back with the preorders for Skyfall. Earlier this year there were the $9.XX bond movies that came with Dr. No, Goldeneye, and another Brosnon one (Tomorrow Never Dies I think) in addition to QoS. I wouldn't be surprised to see them pop up again eventually. You can try eBay for those. I actually grabbed a couple of them a couple months ago there.

        The only one I found was a Casino Royale Blu-Ray that came with the UV for Quantum of Solace(!).

        Haha - it's like they're trying to mess with me. When I saw the combo sets at the store it seemed less likely that they'll show up again, but they probably will. I'm mostly just hoping they turn up on D2D.

          And it was Die Another Day on Blu that came with The World is Not Enough. But I didn't see that one or Goldeneye w/ Goldeneye up there.

            We bought a Bond Blu-ray last Friday at our local Walmart. It was the 007 James Bond Pierce Brosnan Ultimate Edition on Blu-ray. We bought it because it had a UV sticker saying the movie was available to stream with Vudu. However, when I opened the Blu-ray I didn't find the typical Ultraviolet insert with the code. There was no code on the back of the sticker either.

            I took the Blu-ray back to Walmart to exchange it and when I went to the back of the store to grab another Blu-ray, none of the others had that sticker. I talked with the Walmart employee and after a few minutes we came to the conclusion that somebody slapped the sticker on that Blu-ray either by mistake or as a prank.

            I guess the good news is that we were already planning to upgrade our Bond DVD collection to Blu-ray, so it's not a complete waste of money. But we would not have purchased the Blu-ray if we had known that the it didn't come with a code for a digital copy.

              I had something weird happen to me too when I just went bluebinning this morning.

              I was rummaging through the blue bin and pick out these;
              1. Change Up (2011)
              2. Dream House (2011)
              3. Percy Jackson & the Olympians - Lightning Theif (2010)
              4. The Woman in Black (2012)

              I saw on the display behind me "Yogi Bear" (2010), but no price tag. I asked an associate to scan it for me and it was only $3.89 for the DVD, but no UV code.

              Anyway, I bought it along with my others and I thought I would D2D it and upgrade to HDX. Only would cost $9.00 that way ($4 +$5). However, I opened the case and when I tried to take the DVD out to look behind it, it snapped in two.

              Shoot!

              I didn't want to go through the hassle of exchanging it. Instead, I just went through the in-store D2D process with it. The photo counter staff let the fact that is was broke in two slide since it was going to save them the hassle of doing an exchange. When I was done, I just threw it out.

              It worked out well, I guess. Anyway, I now have the 1080p HDX version of it in my library. It is a title my kids saw before and really enjoyed. For $9.00, it seemed like a good purchase and ended up being just a little more then a blue bin purchase.

                Re: Blue Bin: Now on Vudu

                Do we have a running list of the Blue Bin title with their UV or Vudu digital codes be it same or different titles ?

                Or does it just keep changing every few months and the same titles never come back around again ?

                  I do not believe the content is static.

                  As far as redemption go, I have never had a problem. Every bluebin purchase redeemed into HDX for me with the correct title.

                  Two titles were slip covered "extended" or "director's" cut, but the redemption was theatrical. Those two I am holding onto and will do a D2D if the alternate cuts ever become available via D2D and then I will hold both theatrical and alternate cuts in my Vudu library.

                    Since they have $7.88 titles online with "Store Pick-up but can't advertise the Vudu / Digital Copies online I wonder if you can just buy-online with store pick-up and have a fair to good chance that what you might get when buying one of the $7.88 online titles will be one's with the Vudu coupons. Especially since some of them have them inside the box they can't be added at the store.

                      Jeremymc7,

                      I am not sure I understand. Are you suggesting buying a $7.88 bluray movie via the Wal-Mart web-site and opting for in-store pick-up with hoping it will have a UV redemption on it?

                      If so, why not just go to the store and look instead of buying via the web-site?

                        My stores don't have the bins. That's the problem. So I'm wondering about doing the "Site to Store" where they deliver to the store, hoping it will be the "Blu Bin Specials" with stickers attached.

                          Has anyone been able to get the Unrated versions of Step Brothers and Bad Teacher via D2D at home?

                            Ahh, I see. A list would be helpful there.

                            I just got;
                            1. Change Up (2011)
                            2. Dream House (2011)
                            3. Percy Jackson & the Olympians - Lightning Theif (2010)
                            4. The Woman in Black (2012)

                            ...hope that helps a little.

                              New week, same list of $7.88 movies on Vudu.com. I wonder if this kind of "week" starts on Tuesday to coincide with movie releases.

                                Yes, the list resets on Tuesday.
