Its because of the epilepsy caused by this film.
No it’s because they’re used copies and so you pay less for the higher number of fragments the disc comes in.

Only at Wal-mart…Am I Correct?
Is that a Wal-mart bourne?
A Wal-mart bourne illness. You should be careful of what you touch in there.
Is that like a blood bourne pathogen?

It’s spreading to a town near you!
Speaking of the bourne illness, did you see this?

HMV have done the same thing a few times.
Unfortunately, no.

I thought Asda was the lovechild of Tesco and Aldi?
Sadly not!
Lidl is however the Bast@rd child if a lilo and a very very very lazy person!
Lidl is the sh!t that was mistaken for a bastard child.
They’ve had it 4 years now and no-one’s had the heart to tell them…
I think you were thinking of Aslan, the love child of Asda and Matalan

The more expensive ones have bonus features. The cheapest is a homemade remake, kinda like the shop’s own budget brand.
Like Tescos Value Bourne?
Or Asda’s Bourne Smart.

The $9.66 one’s Sweded.

wow…walmart sure keeps their word….prices keeps on falling
Sometimes I think they jack up their prices and drop them by 12 cents to look like you are getting a deal.
Average price, $12.2575
That’s more than half price!
I know! But there is no median….so I panicked!
Not much of a range to choose from either.
It is a Sine of the times really
An out-moded commodity.
Don’t got off on a tangent.

^ that was for trig-happy deepblue. But as for you, Ms. Custard — best watch your irrational amount of intake, or you may ended with an inflated central tendency.
(“ended with” should read “end up with” — pass the bukkit of custard … I could just diet from that
)
Sorry, fuzz. The bukkit has to be filled with the dunkee’s hated foodstuff, mashed up, and mixed with mayo.
*passes bukkit*
Bon appetit.
psst, hush, Bondfan — it’s just a ploy to get to hang out with k@
Ah, I see. I shall away then.
*replaces bukkit with bukkit of custard*
Awwww Fuzz- I would keep you in custardy any day!
Are you angling to get a rise out of me fuzz? At least you weren’t bourne yesterday.
*offers a choc Bournville biscuit*
Why, thank you, deepblue. And thank you, too, k@.
With both biscuits and bukkits, we may need to plot some three-way interactions, choc full of joint custardy and multiple inclinations to recline.
If k@ doesn’t mind me as an inclusion into the subset, there could be variable outcomes. (Custard creams? *ahem*)

Thank you BFF, silly me looked at WordPress emoticons.

I guess it’s Wal-Mart’s way of following the concept of supply and demand to the extreme. When someone picks up the $9.66 one, supply goes down so prices go up. And they’re tacking on the new price in advance, the lazy people they are.
Yeah, honestly, I have no idea, try giving a better explanation yourself.
Did you just insult a concept!? I demand a supply of satisfaction!
(on behalf of me and Bourne and our fuzzy duel identity).
I don’t know why they do it, but I’ve seen a similar phenomena at my local Wal-mart. I found a pack of pencils in the office supply section, dropped them in my cart, then found the exact same one–different colors–across the store in the back to school section for two dollars less. I checked the item numbers–they were different. Wally World was actually charging two dollars more for the same item in a different color.
Crazy Walmart.
It just looks like modern marketing to me. You need products at different prices to get the biggest possible share of the market. Just as with washing powder, it’s essentially the same thing in different packaging … hang on … umm. I think I see a problem.
typical american idiots
the wal mart i worked at put all the smartest people in the parking lot. the higher you were in the wal mart hierchy, the dumber you were. i was surprised the managers weren’t drooling on themselves. (added by Mobile using Mippin)

Morrison? Hang on a minute, is your store in direct competition? Are you being nasty about people so your shop will make more money…..Naughty- right that is it, I am boycotting Morrisons for good!
I have my suspicions about Morrisons. They’re too…patriotic, in my opinion. The shop keeps going on about how BRITISH their stuff is.
I can understand it in relation to the environmental point of view, in that to have local foodstuffs reduces damage to the environment that would be caused by excess emissions on transport…but they don’t even mention that aspect, slightly too nationalist for my taste!
*will admit to Waitrose addiction*
*nods*
True. Sainsbury’s are trying that same tactic, and it seems to be working for them. However, my mother is a Waitrose addict as well. It’s a very comfy, plain place.
..smells good, and does awesome rum & raisin ice cream- what more does a girl need!
Our fridge is full of the stuff! I’ve been having it for desert for quite some time now. Their milk’s not half bad either.
I am so lucky, one has opened up 500m from my house!
The main reason I’m living in this part of London is the proximity of the large Waitrose around the corner. It’s pretty big, and the stuff they sell isn’t expensive.
(I was in London yesterday for the Tattoo convention)
They do have a reputation for being expensive, but I find they aren’t that bad, plus their stuff is such better quality than the biggies!
Lucky you!
The nearest supermarket to us is a Sainsbury’s about 3 miles away… Their chocolate cookies are pretty awesome though, and only £1 for 5
We have a Whiterose in Canada. Very similar to Waitrose (googled it). Our nations store is Zellers but all are really priced to high and are under staffed and not clean very well. Across the road is Wal-Mart which is staffed to the fullest clean and the prices are good but it is an American store. Know lots of people who work there they hate it but it is work.
I have to admit I hadn’t noticed any advertising by Morrisons (or Sainsbury) re Britishness. But I tend to avoid the former one anyway. They bought out my town’s small Somerfield with the intention of converting it to a Morrison outlet but closed it down instead. Many staff have taken shift & pay cuts. A friend has been forced to go from full-time to part-time, losing about £100 a week!
Sadly globally true!
That has happened close to me where Walmart tried to get into a town but the towns people didn’t want it. The town council representing the people did a closed door and got Walmat into the town. There was blockades and everything to try and stop it from being built but police got involved it was a mess It got built and people from the town applied for work there LOL. Walmarts are like casinos, people are addicted to them even if they are irresponsible environmentally and economically and socially. I shop at a Walmart because Zellers is bad (see above). Competition is good for all It keeps a monopoly from one groups hands to making us slaves to them socially.
So your town had the opposite problem…! I can understand that as well though. At least in a nearby town to me, Asda hasn’t changed too much by being taken over by Walmart and was already there, so we’re lucky in that case.
Morrisons took over the Somerfield in my town, They didn’t close it down but now you have to put a £1 coin in the trolleys to use them, because they don’t trust their customers not to nick them. The tight arsed northern bastards.
yeah, but if morrisons let the chavs nick all the trolleys soon thered be none left.
And treating all your customers as though they are chavs is a good thing?
We shall fight in the parking lots;
we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the line to the cashier, we shall defend our Aisles, whatever the cost may be –

It’s ok, i might still the get the refund, it only cost me $9.66/$10.83/$13.88/$14.66 anyway.
*Offers self for conscription instead*
Victory at all costs — $9.66/$10.83/$13.88/$14.66. Victory in spite of all pricing errors — Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no Bourne survival.
or any other varyingly priced sequels..
You ask, what is our sales policy? I say it is to wage price war by land, sea, and air. We well sell sequels on the seashores …
The goth kids treasures another find
What will you pick? Higher or lower? Hurry up, time is money!
Uh…Uh…I pick lower.
Uh… I pick lower.
I pick higher. i only have $14.66
Pick me!
No no Pick me!
No you would like me better!
So who do you choose!
Good morning FailBloggers (and regulars that might show up)
*squeezes all around*
Good Morning!
good morning STS. The price is all over the map of wally world.
this fail is photobombed by fingernails
…try saying that in English this time. We don’t speak gibberish well here.
What, we speak some bad gibberish why didn’t anyone tell me?
Dilettante has GibberishTranslator™ … but some of the posts yesterday made it crash.
Loads up brand new $9.66/$10.83/$13.88/$14.66 Wal*Mart GibberishTranslator™
Seems like Nyx is trying to say:
“I say! There appears to have in that photo a bomb of fingernails!”
Typical, useless own brand GibberishTranslators™
A photobomb is an object in a picture that detracts from the main subject. There is a photobomb site listed on the right ——->.
I paid $19.99 for that movie. All these prices are great… What’s the fail?
They’re not fresh.
*spit-takes and takes spill*
Dilly, you’re still a dairy product
I can’t tell if Jon is really bean observant
Oh ..
A little bit of par-snipping here and there, and nobody will notice my mistake.
I need to watch out or I will get stuck being Beans.
^ bean there, canned that
Where has that happened? In Zelenograd?
Looks to me like the DVDs are from different sections of the store. If you look at the price tags, you’ll see the one in front has “Endcap” on the price tag. Endcaps are those shelves at the end of aisles. The one in back has “A-Z” (followed a W and something else that I can’t quite make out), which I would guess is the A-Z section. The ones in the middle both seem to read Cube, which I would have to guess are freestanding displays.
Maybe Wal-Mart thinks that consumers who know their ABCs have more disposable income… and impulse-buy consumers need a low price to purchase.
“Now I know my DVD’s, bitch.”
You have now met your Bitch-quota for the day. Any further use of the word will just be considered excessive.
No, fuzzy, it’s “Bitch, please.”
♫ You’re a bitch girl, and you’re going too far, cuz you know it don’t matter anyway ♪
♫ Money money money, must be funny, in a bitch man’s world ♪
And does DVD stand for Dastardly Variable Discount? I’m never quite sure about that.
Don’t Vilify Dimwits
So, you can do your wallyworld purchases with priceline.com now?

I’d buy the $14.66 one. Obviously it must be higher quality. Probably the bits on the disc are cleaner. It’ll last longer and have better resale value.
See, I’m finally becoming a crafty consumer!
It has more bonus features, like wrapping that’s harder to open, smells funnier, and was manhandled by more people with the flu.
ZOMG you used a camera in Wal-Mart. The poster must have had the Wal-Mart gestapo come and arrest them for their is no greater crime in the most holiest of Marts.
Walmart = Big Brother?
*Big Brother* What is the meaning of this!?
Take him away!
Those tags have different names on them. The only fail here is that this person took the tags off other movies and put them on this and you idiots fell for it. This comments section has failed.
I don’t really care for Krutons on my salad, thanks.
I must have missed that great movie “Endcap”.
Ah, choose your price. I like it.
What I find funny is that there are two marked “Cube” that are (dun dun dun) still different prices.
Subtle fail ftw.
FIRST!
B-B-B-B-BIG FAIL for the troll!
GET’EM!
*locks and loads troll mallet gun*
Whoah, whoah, hold it there, mister. I’m afraid what you’ve got there is an unauthorized weapon. All troll-eliminating objects have to come from me.
*takes back troll mallet gun*
*hands troll club*
It’s no mallet, but it’ll do. You’re welcome.
Thanks.
leave it to walmart!! they should not be labeling different prices depending on where they place the merchandise in the store. that is just wrong. … plus with the UPC #’s the same, wouldnt they all scan the same price, no matter what it said on the case? and if the price was more than posted on the case, you could get them to adjust the price to the lower one right.
Many stores actually have a UPC sticker to go over the one on the pakcage, outside the shrinkwrap. I’ve seen that in a few stores. It wouldn’t surprise me if Wal*Mart slapped a new one on these…
This happened to me when I tried to buy the Mighty Boosh in HMV. Of course I chose the cheaper price.
pricing like that is actually illegal.
Illegal to Fail?
No, no it isn’t.
I am dead I guess so…ZA should I be zombie or not (if yes can you help me become one?)?
Nothing says “I have issues” like black nail polish.
*Looks at nails*
*Looks at Anniemouse*
*Looks at nails again*
Please rephrase. (am issueless, and confused about that statement, unless you are referring to emo culture or something?)
I think it is the stereotype that emos have black nails, mascara, clothing etc. They tend to like that shade, for some reason.
I don’t do stereotypes, does sony count?
Black nails are currently “in” for girls and teens and even 20’s- its not a “goth” or emo thing. Also goth does not equal emo … Interesting that someone would jump to such a conclusion from a picture of the person’s nails …. Nothing says “issues” like jumping to conclusions
Is an emo a lesser version of a goth?
They’re essentially the same thing, but goths use the Chinese manicure set.
Right on, Elsa. All of my friends wear black almost everyday, and we’re all the weirdest, most hyper people you’ll ever meet. No emo here! Heck, I feel out of place being one of the only ones who wear subtle, “normal” colors. It doesn’t matter, though, because we all accept each other for who we are. And people wonder why the so-called “freaks” hang out together.
They’re counting on most people not paying attention to what it scans vs what it’s marked.
I don’t think so–you can rarely rely on “well, maybe they won’t notice!” theories, especially where price is involved. If I picked up a $9.66 movie and got charged $14 for it, I would be pretty upset.
I think the location theories are correct. I once found the same pencils for two dollars less in another section of my wal-mart. The item numbers were different, which means the store inventory actually counts them as different items. O.o
Black fingernails thats a FAIL
Actually, it’s not fingernail polish. They hit their finger with a hammer back in the hardware department.
THEY?!
Yes. Apparently the aliens have finally invaded, and we’re all going to die, due to black fingernail polish and hostile takeover warehouse stores. Who would have thought it’d end this way?
NOOOO!!! They’ll never take me alive!
*scurries into bunker*
*scurries behind BFF into bunker*
*stops at Wal-Mart on the way to pick up chips, candles, and DVDs of varying prices*
Good! We have enough supplies to last us the entire invasion. Let me see which movies you bou-
Oh good god. You bought seven DVDs of the Bourne Supremacy?! Oh, great.
buba® would chose the one at 13.88¥
BondFan4518 would admit he refuses to believe they sell DVDS at that price in Japan.
$9.66 sounds good to me! I don’t think the people of walmart could decide on a price.
But I dont want ANY copys of Bourne Supremacy!
It is walmart, what do you expect?
When they say “lower prices everyday”, they’re not joking!
FIRST!!!
10.99 14.98 300.99 imagine those prices
The prices themselves are pretty weird, let alone the obvious screwup of the same title varying. The 13.88 isn’t out of place but the others (esp. 10.83 – prices generally don’t end in 3s at Wal-Mart) are odd.
Looks like somebody peeved off the employee with the price-tagger…or else that crazy yellow smiley face wanted revenge for being cut from the commercials.
I’ve made $17,000,000 buying the DVDs at $9.66 and taking them back minus wrapping for a $14.66 refund while you guys have been sitting around making witty comments on your computers. Free market rules!
What a ripoff.
Wal-Mart’s gotten so cheap, even Wal-Mart can’t keep up
Maybe they’re sold by weight?
i allways get my games half off because of such mix ups. a very handy and common mistake if you ask me.
Random price, COME ON DOWN!!
It’s not a mistake or a fail. They’re four different copies that were priced at four different times. It’s what happens when you have backstock and new stock rotating out on the shelves.
Jesus, finally. I was amazed that with 200+ responses, not a single person was a fellow retail worker who instantly realized what was going on. It’s still a funny situation, but pretty inevitable when you realize the sheer number of items a Walmart deals with on a daily basis.
now when people think to hard is when people start to die.
I saw that once in HMV, a cd had 2 different price. What’s fun is that in Quebec we have a rule about price policy and since the cd was under 10$, they had to give it to me and the second was at the lowest price marked.
its the walmarkt he lower the prices constantly to get you.
LOL that reminds me when I went to the market and the 2,5L soda bottle was cheaper than the 2L one.
Well it is wal-mart so maybe they’re in the order of their roll back
I’ve actually seen this with Indian Jones Movies at Wal Mart… One was $7.98 one was marked $13.98
People at Walmart aren’t getting paid to think.
Oh, I though nailpolish goth fail.
I thought nail polish fail too. What a creepy goth doing with Bourne?
Really this is just what happens when you put price tags on things. That’s why no-one does it anymore!
It’s sold just like cheese. The more expensive ones are heavier because it contains more footage of the movie.

You can see that there are diffferent words on each label- sorry to ruin it
