Amazon Has a $9.99 Blu-ray Sale

alan — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 15:22:43 +0000

Amazon.com is running a few sales with Blu-ray movies for $9.99 each. Most are average titles, but there are a few good ones in there too. Some of the our picks:

Wedding Singer ($9.99)

Young Guns ($9.99)

Blazing Saddles ($8.99)

Terminator ($9.99)

Unfortunately, they’ve split the sales up, so you have to search around to find some of the $9.99. Check out the links below.

Magnavox Blu-ray Player for $99 at Sears.com

alan — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 18:32:41 +0000

Sears.com has a refurbished Magnavox RNB500MG9 Blu-ray player for only $99.00 (while supplies last). This is the first $99 Blu-ray player from a major retailer that I’ve heard about. The player is Profile 1.1 with 1080p output and upconversion.

Insignia Blu-ray Player $129 at Best Buy

Not to outdone by Walmart, Best Buy is offering their entry-level Blu-ray player, the Insignia NS-2BRDVD, for $129. However, unlike Walmart’s $128 Magnavox, this is advertised as a sale price.

Magnavox Blu-ray Player Now $128 at Walmart

alan — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 19:15:51 +0000

Bargain Blu-ray players just received a new record low price with Walmart selling the Magnavox NB530MGX Profile 1.1 player at $128 as the base “non-sale” price. The online store is showing it as sold out, but it’s widely available in Walmart brick and mortar stores as well. Enter your zip code into the Find a Store search box to find the nearest to you.

This new low pricing leads me to think that Blu-ray players are going to go for $99 on Black Friday for 2009.

Panasonic DMP-BD35 Blu-ray Player $199 at Costco (with HDMI cable)

alan — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 16:45:09 +0000

Costco has the Panasonic DMP-BD35AK Blu-ray player for $199 ($279.99 – $80 instant rebate = $199.99) at their brick and mortar stores. CNET called the DMP-BD35 the “best player for the money” and noted it was the first standalone Blu-ray player to match the essential features of the gold standard Playstation 3. See their video review below.

This is a solid price for a great player, especially with the inclusion of the HDMI cable. Not a bad deal if you missed out on the Sears’ pricing mistake that had it at $149 a couple weeks ago.

Starting Sunday, November 23, Sears.com has the Panasonic DMP-BD35 Blu-ray player on sale for $150. The player won the coveted Editor’s Choice award from CNET as one of the best Blu-ray players for the money. Unfortunately, it looks like the site quickly sold out of them. No word on if they’re getting more in stock.

*Update* Looks like they removed it entirely from their online store. Bummer.
