      I'm glad I waited on buying the Potter films. The entire series was 100 bucks at Best Buy but now I can get the first 4 for 40 bucks.

          Yeah, toss in the newest one and you're under $65 for the entire series so far, that's a steal.

          The biggest movies on the list I'd want, I already own like Breach, Children of Men, and Hott Fuzz.

            very good point....don't get me wrong, there are a few good ones on there that I don't already own, but too bad they didn't have more titles.

Not literally a "scam," but the only blu-ray I own, for example, is Memento, and recently I discovered a kiss of death: I put in the DVD version (upscaled, granted) immediately after watching the blu-ray, and, frankly, there was no substantial difference. I was pretty disappointed.

              Not to mention, how much longer are we going to be buying hard copies of movies anyway? This is arguably the last "generation" of hard copy; within five or ten years, you gotta think we'll just be downloading everything anyway.

              I don't know that I'll be buying any blu-rays unless they happen to be dirt cheap.
              1. What kind of TV do you have? This makes a big difference. Also, is it calibarated in anyway?

              2. The transfer for memento isn't supposed be great anyway: http://bluray.highdefdigest.com/memento.html
              Try comparing Ratatouille. Big difference between dvd and bluray.

                Amazon Offers 50 Percent Off Select Blu-ray Discs

                Amazon Sale

                If you've been waiting to pick up 'Ratatouille,' 'Lost' or any of Disney's other best-selling Blu-ray discs, there's never been a better time.

                In a just-launched post-Christmas sale, Amazon is offering a total of 51 Disney Blu-ray titles at prices ranging from 43% to 50% off list, bringing the vast majority of listed discs down to an all-time low of $19.99.

                Among the other top titles featured in the promotion are all three 'Pirates of the Caribbean' flicks, 'Cars,' 'High School Musical 2' and the just-released 'Underdog' (click here for full list).

                At press time there was no word on how long this latest deal from Amazon would be offered.

                To discuss this and other next-gen hardware and software deals, visit the Blu-ray Bargains and HD DVD Bargains areas in our forums area.

                    Forgot to post this last night. Amazon.com has a HD-DVD BOGO for Canada's Boxing day (which was yesterday). Offer is still good though a few of the HD DVDs aren't listed now. Pretty decent selection, especially if you missed the last one. The Harry Potter's are the main draw on this one.

                    I picked up Serenity, Casino, Meet the Fockers and Big Lebowski. $39 shipped.

                            Was this movie any good? It didn't seem like it was in theaters very long, but it was one I wanted to see.

                              My calibration is pimp, which is probably why I've been so impressed with my upscaled DVDs ... but you're right:

                              After looking over that site, it seems I've just hit a coincidental string of lousy movies, video-wise. I'll stick to some of those 5-star video grade ones for my next couple rentals.

                              Thanks for the heads up.

                                My brother and his best friend were very disappointed. I like Donnie, so I'll wait for some reviews.
