there definitely wont be blu ray bargain bins just yet because it is a very new format.

the best place to check for great prices on blu-rays is in the hot deals section of the forum

I think the $10 lot at Wal-Mart is getting pretty darned close.

All of you guys are so nice here

Wheres the $10 dollar lot at Wal-Mart?

Haven't seen any of those. Not enough markdowns, most likely. You can find a few bargain Blu's if you're willing to accept Blackbeard, Curse of King Tut's Tomb, Ten Commandments, and HD Moods into your collection.

Closest thing to a bargain bin I've seen is the display at Best Buy for $14.99 BDs such as Third Element, Black Hawk Down, Road Warrior, Swordfish, etc.

My local Wally World has 8-10 titles at $10. The Descent, The Ruins and a couple of others were worth picking up, but I was in a hurry.

Your best bet is Amazon third-party sellers. Sometimes you'll find incredible prices. Because of this, collecting BD's for me is much cheaper than DVD's (back when I collected DVD's, that is).

I got Batman Begins for $8 last time I bought third-party.

Also go with imports.. I got Close Encounters of the Third Kind for $14 in a B2G1 deal on Amazon UK.

And it should be noted that many of those sellers sell USED, so read carefully.
Also, be careful to avoid bootlegs.

Yeah.. that's happened to me a few times. They sell "New" but it's a used title re-wrapped in shrink. They're usually in mint condition though...

Be weary of the lack of description too. If they say "100% Satisfaction" with a "Used - Very Good" description.. I say "no way". One time I got a title with a really broken up case. I only go with keywords like "mint" or "pristine" or "only played once"..

Also check on feedback. I don't go below 95% positive with a good number of customers.

You could always try to steal a deal on ebay where someone mis-spells the movie name or misspells 'blue ray'...stuff like that.
