Amazon and Tower start Blu-ray sales

Written by Andre Yoskowitz @ 12 Jun 2008 4:06 User comments (7)

The giant e-tailer Amazon and the once huge audio/video retailer Tower have started new sales on Blu-ray movie titles, with some popular movies reaching as low as $12 USD.

Amazon, for its deal, has slashed the price on a few popular titles and added a new "Buy 2 Get 1 Free" offer. A few of the movies seeing price cuts are 'Blade Runner,' 'I Am Legend', '3:10 To Yuma,' and '300.' The B2G1F promotion will last all week and includes 95 titles including 'The Fifth Element,' 'Hellboy,', 'Underworld Evolution' and 'Spider-Man: The High-Definition Trilogy.' You can view the complete list here: Amazon "Buy 2 Get 1 Free" offer.

On the other hand, Tower has slashed the prices of many Blu-ray titles, some even lower than that of Amazon. Just like the e-tailer, there is free shipping on orders above $25 USD.

A few of the notable price cuts have '300', '3:10 to Yuma' and 'Blade Runner' at $12 USD, the cheapest price I have seen for great BD movies in a very long time.

Too bad I can't pick two movies out of that selection. Silent Hill is the only one I really want.

SPinning Disks blow, blu-ray blows, manufacturer's intentions GOOD but futile. Expensive, Expensive and oh..........did I mention TOO EXPENSIVE TO JUSTIFY A NEGLIGIBLE DIFFERENCE?

Bring HD on flash or fiber download. Even better, perfect the hologram technology.

Have you checked the latest price in flash drives that equals the capacity of a BD?

Not bad. It's nice to see prices on some of it come down a little bit. I'll have to add "300" to my collection for that price.

	Roborock Saros 10 review - Great, but not perfect We tested Roborock Saros 10 robot vacuum for more than two months in order to see whether it is really worth its hefty price tag. The mopping, self-emptying Saros 10 was mostly great, even perfect. But its object avoidance was bit disappointing. 1 user comment
	Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra review - obstacle avoidance doesn't work as it should, otherwise almost perfect robot vacuum We put the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra through a very, very long review process. The $1800 mopping robot vacuum is almost perfect, but its obstacle avoidance was surprisingly bad, considering the price - and compared to its competitors.
