“Happy Friday” as my co-worker likes to say… and welcome to (yet) another Blu-ray movie deal. The funny(?) thing is I’ve used this “blog” to cover a lot of cool topics - from soundbars to servers, plasmas to PS3s - and yet the deals that seem to really stir you guys up all start with “Blu-ray.” So, to quote BattleStar Galactica’s original (and best) Lt. Starbuck - “If you want to have great success, you’d better give them what they want, but so be it.” (insert cigar here).
That said, today DeepDiscount is offering up to 41% off it’s cache of Sony Blu-ray movies (about 75 in all). Yes, 41% is marketing-speak as they’re comparing to list prices, which is not what you or I would ever pay. Still, most of the titles are down to $17.66 and $23.07 which is not bad in this market.
My pics: The Fifth Element (and not because of Bruce Willis), Big Fish (awesome color saturation), and Sakaguchi’s Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (groundbreaking animation). Be warned, there are plenty of titles that have no right to be on Blu-ray - RV, Hitch, and Ghost Rider (ok, that might be kinda cool).
Sale price: $17.66 - $23.57

The 2 replies indicate the usual insight and misinformation that one can expect from BLU folks. I don’t own either format and therefore owe no allegience. Just stating the obvious (which I guess they’ve always ignored anyway).
I guess those HD-DVD trolls were wrong. I guess we won’t be seeing soaring out of control expensive Blu-Ray disc pricing…
Go figure.
Wow,first people complain BR dics are too expensive! Now they are well priced and we get a dumb comment like Joel’s!! haha
How long will it take for the HD-DUD trolls to die off??
Well, Im one happy camper with this news. Hopefully, other studios will follow suit soon….
Guess BR discs haven’t been selling well. What a surprise.
One is a subsidiary of DTS, with the other looking to gain traction via Indiegogo.

Joel Z,
Funny enough, I own players for both formats and have a decent sized collection of HD-DVDs as well as Blu-Rays… Goes to show everyone, you are no psychic.
