As much as I would love to walk into a local retailer to buy some Blus (easier, faster, more convenient) they are always wayyy to expensive. Well, not always, but most of the time Amazons prices are much better. And it sucks. I want to be able to go to a store to buy Blus. Why can't these stores match Amazon prices!!

Pretty much the same experiences for me as well. That's why I'm an Amazon Prime believer.

If you join amazon prime its always free shipping. But I never buy only one Blu at a time

, so I havent joined the "amazon prime" program.

walmart doesnt stock many catalog titles or all new releases either.

Very limited selection. I own every title Walmart has.

But if it works for you, cool.

Yeah... good deals, but they are limited too.

I just love Amazons selection as well as pricing.

Keep your eyes peeled for Amazon BOGOs, youll love them.

When the "war" first kicked off I was buying entirely online as local stores seemed to not carry any BD what-so-ever. As the format has matured I decided that I wanted to help make the decision for my local retailers. I figure the few extra bucks I spend buying titles at Wal-Mart and BB might help persuade them to drop HD-DUD support. It seems to be working as all of my local stores seem to be moving to Blu's favor (see my other thread https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=34624 ).

Now my buying line goes somewhat like this: Wal-Mart (3 local stores) => Best Buy (2 local stores, then 1 by my Mom and Dads) => Target (1 local store) => Amazon (for titles I can't find at local retailers). I still have trouble finding some titles, like Man on Fire right now, that it seems the local retailers aren't getting in and I will have to go online to get. Sometimes I have to wait a day to a week for the titles to be put out on the shelf. I just feel showing B&M stores where the money really is is worth the hassle and few extra bucks.

Yuzo · 02-02-2008, 11:51 AM

blu-ray prices are a joke over here if you visit a shop,

sometimes nearly double the internet price which is shocking,

the only ones i have bought from a shop are the older BDs, such as Into the Blue and Black Hawk Down, as they are similar to the internet price.

Grisle · 02-02-2008, 11:52 AM

I buy way too many of them online and in the stores...I pray that my wife never asks me how much I've spent.

Weez_Dawg · 02-02-2008, 11:54 AM

Amazon for the most part...

cartman781 · 02-02-2008, 11:54 AM

I buy 95% of my Blu-rays on-line

Mikeesracing · 02-02-2008, 11:57 AM

Amazon

Moefiz · 02-02-2008, 12:22 PM

I buy most of my disc from Amazon, you gotta love Prime shipping and no tax also sometime you get it on the actual release date or even the next.

Second choice for me is Walmart....good prices on disc weeks after relase date.

Last is Best Buy.....BOGO sale or if I have a coupon or sales of certain titles.

C.C...sale on certain title or Bogo..

Blu_Ray_UK2007 · 02-02-2008, 12:44 PM

According to my records i've saved £404.13 on RRP prices since December 5th 2007.

Thats $795.61 so i'll be sticking with Amazon.

Bullet · 02-02-2008, 12:45 PM

95% of my collection is from Amazon.

swifty7 · 02-02-2008, 12:49 PM

yep!!! I buy blu-ray titles only from online. Why would anybody spend 3X the price for.

RWebb74 · 02-02-2008, 01:49 PM

I definitely buy most online. Occasionly I buy at Best Buy or Sam's for a new release if the price is close to Amazon, but only if it's one that I must have immediately and can't wait for cheaper days.
