Save up to 50% on Blu-ray on Amazon.com
Amazon has a sale on selected titles on Blu-ray. Not sure how much more you actually save though...
Amazon.com: Blu-ray up to 53% off
Still naively waiting for another BoGo.... |

I haven't personally seen the ad yet but according to rumor, there's going to be a buy one get one sale on select titles at Target next week. |

Re: Save up to 50% on Blu-ray on Amazon.com
I just ordered Rescue Me Season 3 for pretty close to what I was gonna pay for it on DVD if I went out this afternoon to try and find it, so I'm happy. I managed to snag Seasons 1 & 2 for $19.99 Each at Target.

Re: Save up to 50% on Blu-ray on Amazon.com
I really would like to buy the die hards on blu ray, but I already own 1-3 on DVD and it is hard to justify to myself to repurchase them... I dunno are any of you guys having this same issue.

I am in the same position and won't replace them with Blu-ray versions. I have been looking for a deal on the 4th film on Blu-ray without luck so far. I have sold a couple DVD's that I replaced with Blu-ray versions and the price I got for the DVD's was hardly worth the walk to the mailbox, much less help cover the cost of the Blu-ray version.

I saw a posting on another board, that listed the following titles
Quote:
Casino Royale
Spiderman 3
Live Free or Die Hard
Ocean's Thirteen
300
Saw IV
3:10 to Yuma
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
The Simpsons Movie
The Gameplan
Ratatouille
|
So tomorrow I'll be going to Target to get Ratatouille... and something else.. I would like to get either PotC3 or Simpsons, but I have them both on SD... which one is more worth the upgrade?

I had the same 'predicament'. I plan on picking up Ratatouille and The Simpsons Movie. Pirates seems a pretty safe bet for a 3 movie box set at some point in time so I'm just going to keep my SD copies of those until that is released. Although The Simpsons Movie is probably a lock for a re-release whenever they put out a sequel. |

I have the Die hards on DVD as well, but I classify them among my favourite films. As I want my favourites in the best format possible, repurchasing them on Blu was a non-issue for me. It also helped that I purchased them during the last BOGO that Amazon had and that I got another discount taken when they reduced prices for them even further before the 30 day price guarantee passed.

Do they offer these deals online? I went to target.com but apparently their Bluray selection says "brought to you by amazon.com". Maybe an amazon bogo will happen as well? |

I don't know about online, but here is the Target ad, the Blu-ray deal is on page 23 after entering my zip code.
Target Weekly Ad: Best deals at Target stores now.

IMHO--$15 each for some decently-rated BD movies ain't that bad a deal; I for one ain't complaining about the Target deal, as it allowed me to purchase 300 and 3:10 to Yuma--both top-notch movies in the BD PQ and/or audio-quality department.
