Amazon Summer Blu-Ray Sale

[bapenguin]

It's that time again, Amazon has marked down a over 130 Blu-Ray discs - most for only $14.95 - in their summer Blu-Ray Sale.

There's some real gems here too like:

• Blade Runner: 5 Disc Special Edition - $19.95
• The 5th Element - $14.95
• 300 - $16.95

I think I'm gonna have to jump on the Blade Runner disc set - even though I have it on HD DVD.

Wow, that's great for Blade Runner. I think I'm going to have to place an order.

[civil_dead]

I agree with Blade Runner. Anyone know how long this sale is going on for?

I've yet to use my PS3 as a BR player (fuck, I've not turned it on in months). I'm excited to see what the fuss was about.

I paid $55 for Blade Runner on HD DVD, I don't have a PS3, yet I'm very tempted to pick up the bluray for that price.........VERY tempted

any idea how long the sale is for?

too bad that disc of the Fifth Element doesn't have any extra content........what happened to all the stuff from the Ultimate Edition?

I need to remember to go through this with the gf later tonight. The only blu-ray movie I own is Planet Earth, it'd be fun to have some more.

I have Blade Runner on Blu-Ray and it's definitely worth picking up. 300 is good but the HD-DVD version is much better (if you like the enhanced features). The original Fifth Element Blu-Ray release sucked hard but the new release is light years better.

All in all I'm still disappointed with the lack of high quality (both movie quality and transfer quality) for Blu-Ray.

Ill be looking to pad my BR collection a little here, especially since ive never seen Blade Runner

[TrackZero]

Already got my HD-DVD copy of Blade Runner, thanks.

Blade Runner Blu-Ray was part of their 2 for $30 deal last week, which was even a better deal

[pheriannath]

Good deals. I'm considering re-ordering Blade Runner since the copy I bought didn't come with the fifth disc, and neither did the copy I exchanged it for. ><

[roboninja]

I had over $100 dollars of Bluray movies in my cart before I came to my senses, and realized I do not have my PS3 yet. That was close

[Nonentity]

Yeah, I totally just spent $250 on Blu-Ray movies.

I was waiting for a deal like this to show up, because all I own on Blu-Ray is Planet Earth and 300 right now.

I picked up Die Hard, Die Hard 2, Die Hard with a Vengeance, Blade Runner, The Fifth Element, Crank, American Psycho, 3:10 to Yuma, Predator, Big Fish, Reservoir Dogs, and AVP.

[Rarely Operable Brain]

For anyone with a BR player that likes Blade Runner, I'd definitely go for that deal (I've got it on HD-DVD). The Final Cut version of the movie that comes with the 5 Disc Special Edition is easily the best version of the movie, and the most faithful adaptation (IMHO) to the novel the movie was based on ("Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?").

So again: if you were thinking about getting Blade Runner before in BR, there's no reason not to for $20.

[Maskatron]

Best Buy is currently has a lot of these on sale at the same price, and some of them even qualify for two for 30.

I see Evil Dead 2 is in this sale but is there any reason to buy it on Blu-Ray? I can't see that the way in which that movie was filmed that Blu-Ray would give any significant upgrade to the movie other than the lossless audio and I'm not sure how much of an improvement that would be either.

Does anyone who already own this on Blu-Ray have any input?

I picked up the 3 Die Hard and the Predator movie a week or so ago they had them buy 2 get 1 free which brought it to just a little less than what they are going for now. They all look and sound great you will definitely enjoy them.
