Walked into Target today and they had a big sale on movies. Bought Gran Torino and Defiance on DVD for $10 each. I think that is a great price on movies that were just released on disc. I do own both Blu-ray and DVD players, but sometimes I'll still buy DVDs if the price is unbeatable. Generally though if a movie is a big special effects hit, I'll wait for the Blu-ray to be on sale somewhere because of the picture and sound quality over DVD. :T

I'll buy the occasional dvd--usually old classics that aren't available on Blu-ray. Around here you can find plenty of $5 dvds and many are recent releases. -
I still buy SD DVDs for anything I might use in the classroom or anything that, to me, seems unlikely to get a BD release anytime soon (a lot of old classics--Casablanca looks fabulous in hi-def, but I don't think a complete Bogart BD set will be out anytime soon, for example).Comment

We can. But while we're doing that, I'll be watching my boxed set of Bogart movies.Comment

I got quitre a few of the B&W Bogart titles such as Key Largo, Casablanca, High Sierra, Treasure Of Sierra Madre, To Have And To Have Not, The Big Sleep, The Maltese Falcon, just to name a few. And frankly, after seeing the odd B&W film on Blu-ray, I am more than satisfied with a good standard dvd transfer and probably won't bother to replace the titles I mentioned above.Originally posted by OvationComment

YET EVEN as DVD surges, it is on a different economic path than video, and one that is fraught with dangerous unknowns.
Where video enriched Hollywood through rental fees and sales, the hottest action in DVD right now is in sales. Chains like Wal-Mart Stores Inc., Target Corp. and Best... -
Celebrating its 70th anniversary, the studio that currently owns Gone with the Wind has released it on BluRay in a multiple-disc special collector's edition that includes a ton of extras (well, at least a couple of pounds of extras, some printed, others on the addtional discs) in the oversized box,... -
When I went to see this movie when it was first released in the commercial theater, I had the misfortune of sitting behind a little snot who "sang along" through the entire movie despite numerous requests to be quiet from people around them. I knew the movie had a great soundtrack, but it...

Not sure if this was posted anywhere but last week BestBuy put all its Superbit DVDs on sale for (USD) $10. All of them. I was there yesterday and at least my store has extended the sale indefinitely. They even have a special/impressive Superbit rack in that brushed aluminum color at the front of... -
I'm not exactly sure what our formal rules are on promotions, but this was a deal that I spotted, and I'm not sure how long it will last.
Amazon is now having a 2 for one sale on a small selection of HD-DVDs.
Generally I haven't been buying a lot of new HD-DVDs at $20-$30 each...
