I noticed a thread over at AVSforums and figured I would do something similar here for those interested. The BluRay market is still new and prices on the discs can vary widely. This thread is mostly the same content as the one over at AVS, save for a few deals that I've noticed on my own. Below this post will be some general buying tips I've found as I've expanded my BluRay collection. Any of my notes will be in pink

Original thread at AVS http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=976789

This thread will always have all of the current Blu-ray deals on the FIRST page, so you won't have to search to find out what's available.

I will update this post at least every Sunday, and as deals become available and expire. I usually don't have the time to go scouring websites looking for the best prices, so if you have something that isn't up here, please PM me the info so I can add it to this post during my next update.

Try to include a link in your PM, so I can transfer that to the first page. If there is no link, at least please include all important info such as Store, Online/Instore, item(s), price, expiration date, coupon code (if applicable). I will TRY to test all submissions. I'll PM you back requesting more info if necessary. It will also be helpful to PM me about when a deal is expired so I can update it accordingly. You do not need to do that about run-of-the-mill expirations like a Best Buy sale only, for instance, like an Amazon BOGO, where no one knows the expiration date.

Here are the current deals.

$5 off select BluRay titles, prices vary Still not a great deal, just a few dollars off list price. There are also rumors that they are having a buy 2, get 1 free special this week, but since I don't get a sales ad, I can't confirm it yet

DEEP DISCOUNT

http://www.deepdiscount.com/viewcategory.htm?categoryId=462364&sortby=price&count=

This is the HD-DVD page. Lots good prices on HD-DVDs that are on their way out the door.

http://www.deepdiscount.com/Blu-ray_stcVVcatId462363VVviewcat.htm

This is the BluRay page. Lots of titles <$15, some are <$10. Doesn't look like anything terrific, and prices on the mainstream movies are pretty average, but worth a look.

The Amazon Buy 2 get 1 free promo worked for me. Placed an order on 16 April, for the Blade Runner 5 disc set, Pan's Labyrinth and The Fifth Element. Came to something like 70$ with shipping to India.
 
Let's keep this baby alive.

I'm sure people are still interested in all the Blu-Ray deals.

As an update, Amazon.com has T2 now for only 11.95, a whopping dollar less than it was a month ago :D
