Blu-ray movies are expensive, especially when you buy them from the big retail chains like Walmart, Target, or Best Buy. Personally, I think Amazon has the best prices on Blu-ray movies. You can find most new movies for $19.99, and sometimes cheaper. Just be aware that most of Amazon’s “sales” are not really any different than their everyday prices. They usually jack-up the prices during their sales and claim 50% off.
$20 for a movie is still too expensive in my opinion. I want to buy movies for less than $10 though Blu-rays are hard to find at the price point.
I recently started buying used movies from Amazon and have found some great deals, like Batman Begins
Did you know you can search by “used” movies on Amazon? Combine that with sorting by “lowest price” and you can quickly scan for cheap deals. A little digging can help find movies to round out your library. Here is an example search. Happy hunting.
Since this is a “buyer’s guide,” below are some tips for buying Blu-ray movies:
1) Don’t buy kids movies on Blu-ray. Unless you are a big fan of Pixar movies, they look just fine on DVDs. The Cars DVD looked great on my PS3. Plus, you are more likely to watch kids movies on portable players or take them on trips.
2) Never shop on Ebay. You pay too much of a premium for used movies.
3) Never buy movies from a retail chain. Too expensive.
4) Buy used movies from sellers on Amazon.

Well, depending on WHERE you buy your DVDs, you can find some pretty good deals on Blu-Ray DVDs. There is a store here in Las Vegas called “Fry’s Electronics” that has dropped their prices on Blu-Ray dramatically. 4 Months ag Blu-Rays would’ve $30+. Now they are around $12-$30 with most of them at the $20-$25 range. They also make PACKS of Blu-Ray discs. I just got a pack of Blu-Ray with “Fantastic 4 2: Rise of The Silver Surfer” and “Daredevil (Extended)” for $25. that’s roughly $12.50 each! I’ve seen some packs up there with 10 movies or more in it.
Also, you can try looking at these retail store’s websites and comparing them BEFORE you go to buy them. Sometimes, they’ll offer deals on their website that’s not available in a store.
Here are my recommended websites for price comparisons.
deepdiscount.com

bestbuy.com
