It's that time of year. Black Friday is neigh.

So what deals have you found?

How about Blu-Ray movies for under $10?

I'm spending some priceless time with my family on Thursday, then I'm gonna sleep in and casually stroll to the mall on Friday- pointing and laughing all the way.

People actually still buy stuff in physical media?

Do you know something better? I haven't found a stream yet that can match a blu-ray for sound and picture quality.

I avoid Black Friday like the plague.

I love it! Half the time we don't buy much but people go bonkers. It's our entertainment for the year.

No, but I haven't found a blu-ray good enough for me to hassle with a disc when the little bit lesser picture quality of streaming is good enough for me.

That said, Blu-Ray as a format isn't performing that well.

Interesting line up of classics on sale.

If Bluray isn't selling the units that DVD is, my guess is the cost. I'm still not willing to shell out $40-50 to own a movie. I still haven't upgraded in my bedroom, and frankly can't see much of a difference from upconverted DVD from Bluray anyway. So right now, I purchase the DVD, or the mutli pack when it first comes out (usually only $3-4 more than the DVD only price).

Makes sense to me. I've done direct comparisons on various movies between blu-ray, DVD, Netfix streaming and Vudu. In the MoonCave blu-ray is the clear winner. So for me I like the Blu.

However, I do tend to think of the disks as packaging. I've started ripping them to my media server for easier viewing (removing previews and such) and keeping the disks primarily as a backup.
