Looking for a good and cheap place to buy blu ray movies from.. I don't rewatch many movies but there are a couple like Avatar and Inception for benchmarking and showing off the system...

    FYE has preowned blu ray movies typicaly 60% less than new prices. It is hit or miss if you will find what you want. I picked up Pirates of the Carribean for about $9 on Sunday, and the disk was as good as new. They also have a satisfaction guarantee, so if the disk does not play you can exchange it or return it for a refund.

    I buy from Amazon, but I use www.blu-ray.com to price track the titles I want and they e-mail you when the price drops near that threshold. Good way to snipe some deals on flicks you're looking for.
    Equipment list:
    Onkyo TX-NR3010 9.2 AVR
    Emotiva XPA-3 amp
    Polk RTi70 mains, CSi40 center, RTi38 surrounds, RTi28 rears and heights
    SVS 20-39CS+ subwoofer powered by Crown XLS1500
    Oppo BDP-93 Blu-ray player
    DarbeeVision DVP5000 video processor
    Epson 8500UB 1080p projector

    Ditto. Blu-ray.com is a very good resource. Helps me decide whether to buy, new releases to consider, what to rule out, where to buy. Amazon is almost always where I buy.

    Depends on how current of a release you want, Wally world has a $7.00 blu-ray bin right next to that $5.00 CD bin hard to leave without something.

    Amazon mostly. Some times I hit up the local used shops. Very rarely, but once in a while target or best buy and even got a few from blockbuster close out sales. I have close to 200 blu's and with the exception of a few box sets most movies cost me $15 bucks or less, usually $8-10.

    Check out Target as well. I've seen several brand new at $5, including "3:10 to Yuma", which I bought. I check each time we go in hopes that I'll see more.
