good deals on Blu Ray?

[ThA tRiXtA]

I was just wondering where you guys buy your blu ray movies from? Does anyone have any suggestions on a place where buying a bunch of them won't kick the crap out of my wallet? Some of the good movies at futureshop and best buy here cost $32 or more. There is no way I am paying that for an optical disc.

I am looking for a place where I can upgrade my DVD collection to blu ray and I picked up a few BD's for $10 each this boxing day, it was great!

I was looking at columbia house, but I don't know if it is worth it or not... they don't seem to have a lot of selection and I'm curious if you do buy from columbia house, do you get the full versions / unrated versions or do you get a stripped down rated version of the film, or a film with lesser soundtrack formats or are they the same as you would buy from the mall or futureshop?

Other than columbia house, if anyone has a better place to buy them I'm all ears.

Thanks.

Look in the deals section. www.Frys.com is having a huge sale right now (ends tomorrow) and I'd say their prices are the best overall. Other places may have a title or two less than them, but the number of titles they have for $11-18 is amazing right now. Shipping is steep, but as long as you order 2 or more titles it isn't too bad. Not sure if they ship to Canada though.... Next would be the obvious - Amazon. www.Tower.com has great prices but slow shipping. Good deals can be found at www.deepdiscount.com as well.

Columbia House sucks.

Columbia House, Borders and Barnes and Noble all charge MSRP AFAIK.

Screw that.

Being in Canada, deals are a little different. E-bay, AVS, here, HighDefDigest, Blu-Ray.com and other trading/selling forums work very well. Not all of it is used, either. Plenty of people sell sealed stuff.

i have been paying lots for my blu rays. i pay $50 for 2 at HMV in Canada (Casino, Goodfellas, I Am Legend....) at Wal Mart i picked up No Country For Old Men for $13 and Hustle And Flow for $8 (Which was a rip off because its the worst looking blu ray i have ever seen, the dvd version is better). I get my new movies from Costco (Ironman, Batman) for $22. I always go to costco for new movies because they get them in for the lowest price i seen around in stores but they dont have them in stock for very long.

Check out Amazonca. They are having a sale through 12/31. Also check out inetvideo. I have bought from them a couple of times. They are in Canada as well as the US. The others have the good ones pretty much covered, such as Ebay, Deepdiscount and WallyWorld.

Amazon generally has some of the best deals.

Also, sign up for emails from Warner Home Video... there are discounts (20/30/40% off) all the time on new and recent BD releases.

I went into my local Movie Stop about a week ago hoping to find some really good prices on blu-rays. They are known to have superb prices on their regular DVD collection, so I was hoping this would prove to be true for the BD's as well. I saw better prices at Target actually - even their used items were as much as the brand new discs they were selling elsewhere. I've been meaning to check out Amazon, but just haven't gotten around to it yet.

I figure the prices will start to drop as more people switch over to BD in future months/years, however long it takes - same thing happened to DVD when it was the new thing on the market.
