$8 and $10 Blus are killing me - Page 2 - Blu-ray Forum

Aerodude73 · 10-10-2010, 03:36 AM

I stopped at WM after a movie ("Secretariat") Friday & saw a New bin set-up with $10 Blurays, & bought five: DAREDEVIL/Director's Cut, GHOST RIDER/Extended Cut, COURAGE UNDER FIRE, THE SIEGE, & THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMAN. I've read the Audio is Outstanding in "Daredevil" (& I "know" the movie's not top-notch but it's decent enough), & the Audio's also supposed to be very good on Ghost Rider & Courage Under Fire.

I'll check out & "support" (

) ANY place that has $10 bluray's.
You can call me an Equal Opportunity Spender.

Too bad I don't have the same exact thoughts you do. Maybe it's because I don't have a Wal-Mart near me for over 35 miles?

i didn't know it was even possible to find a spot in the United States that didn't have a Wal-Mart at least every 30 miles! hold on to this, but i'm sure one day it will disappear

Ha! Remember this picture of the Martian landscape that was sent back by the Mars Rover?

That's obviously fake. Where is the Starbucks?

The Best Buy Horror Movie sale got me too.
I picked up "My Bloody Valentine (remake), The Orphan, and SAW today.

Don't feel bad if you like it. I saw the movie for free in the theaters long ago. (Had movie cash for a different movie that I wasn't interested in but they didn't mind at the box office.) I liked it quite a lot.

I still prefer the theaterical cut but either way I like Daredevil.

So they are a "shite" company because they didn't have the foresight to build closer to you?

P@t_Mtl · 10-10-2010, 01:17 PM

I read the entire thread but I am still at a lost?

Are you saying that because Blu-ray are sold at $8 or $10 you need to buy them all? Future Shop as tons of Blu-ray movies at below $14 some at $9 here in Montreal and most of them I would not want to have them even if they gave them to me.

Do you guys buy movies just beause they are cheap? I am just wondering, most of them time I only buy the movies I truly want but I know not everyone will be like me. I buy Criterion during some sales that might happen either at Barnes & Noble or Amazon but if a Criterion is coming out for example Seven Samurai in 2 weeks, I want it and getting it that day. I suppose getting a movie at $30 might seem a bit strange but I might not be buying as many movies as some of you so it might be the difference right there.

I knew I shouldn't have checked that link.....curse you, Brian!

I found two titles (out of 238) that I'm interested in, so the damage done wasn't too bad.

I can only speak for myself. For me, I found a couple of titles that I've been interested in for a while, but were reluctant to purchase due to their previous price points. I think the $10 mark is the sweet spot for those looking to fill gaps in their collection.

I looked at the list and I have 3 of the listed movies. I did not see any others that I wanted. I'll stick to films that appeal to me at a cost within reason.

Liselotte · 10-10-2010, 02:57 PM

for me, i saved a bunch of money this week. only bought 2 titles that I like. these titles can wait, Im spending my $$ on BF on something else.

cooltobeyou · 10-10-2010, 04:20 PM

These deals are killing me as well....not so much in my wallet...but more due to the fact that I don't have the time to watch everything I'm buying now. Its definitely time to cut back.

That's no loss. I have three of them within a reasonable distance. Those inner-city junk shops draw the wrong type of crowd anyway... You know, people who believe themselves too upper crust for K-Mart but not "snobbish" enough for Target.

Well said. That is my sweet spot when adding movies to my collection.

ryoohki · 10-10-2010, 05:29 PM

For me, i only buy a movie that i really like. If there's a bunch of POS at 5$ i won't buy any of them. And sometime i take the chance with new release at full price..

BouCoupDinkyDau · 10-10-2010, 05:39 PM

I will have no money for blus on Black Friday. I'm in the market for a new Mac and iPod Touch.

I won't even be able to get the Alien Anthology when it comes out this month.

I haven't bought much this month. I got Beauty and the Beast since it was part of that Amazon deal with Christmas Carol. I also got Zombie's Halloween and Halloween II plus the AvP two pack since it's October. I'm predicting Clash of the Titans, Iron Man 2, Robin Hood, How to Train Your Dragon, Predators, Get Him to the Greek, and The Karate Kid for 10 bucks on Black Friday, as well as a bunch of 5-8 dollar catalog titles...so basically I'm saving up.
