    I buy almost all of my BR discs on Amazon. I generally find the movies I want and click on "used and new". I often can find a good deal on a nice disc. Check often and get cheap used copies. You can also sort price from low to high, and sometimes are amazed at a great deal. Here is an example:

    If you have a time machine you can go back in time to when HD DVD was still around, and pretty much pick up your entire BR collection for about $13 a disc on average.

    If you're all out of plutonium, just keep an eye out on Amazon and sometimes Fry's will have a few movies on sale.

    C'mon, be honest, you still had to wait for sales on only selected disks during bogos. You couldn't just get any disk you wanted for $13 whenever you wanted. And I think this is the second week in a row for bargain bin Fry's blu-rays. Looks like it may be a regular event at the retailer...

    Here's last week's list. Between this week and last week and amazon's sales and everyday low prices, you could have gotten a great cheap start on a blu-ray collection.

    Amazon has dropped the price of several of their 3 for 2 blu-rays. I just paid $47.90 for:

    Patton, A Bridge Too Far, and Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World or $15.97 a piece.

    Not bad considering their Patton War bundle is $65.95 and I like my picks much more than The Sand Pebbles and The Longest Day included in that pack. I'm very curious to see what they've done to upgrade the video quality in the Patton remaster and Master and Commander has always been an audio favorite of mine. So I'm eager to see what the lossless master has over my DVD copy.

    Also if you are a member of Columbia House, they are having a buy one get one free sale right now. I pre-ordered Hancock and got Transformers for "free". It worked out to $37 delivered so that's $18.50 each. Not bad for premium titles.
