It's hard to grow a BD collection while they all cost $20 - $30 bucks a pop. I have no problem picking up an unknown DVD title for $3 or $4 dollars down at Hastings just for kicks. But if I'm shelling out $25 clams, it better be a movie I'm going to like well enough to watch over and over through the years.
Has Columbia House started a '12 Blu-Rays for a penny' deal yet?

Most of my BD cost $10-12, and a few at $19 from Walmart.

Wow, guess I'll have to start making the trek! Ever since moving in with my Fianceé I rarely go to Walmart because she lives right by Meijers. And for the most part Meijers is very comparable to Walmart.
But I've rarely seen a BD movie cost less than $20 dollars there. Even the obscure titles.

I don't buy new releases, I rent those. If something is worth watching again I'll put it on my Amazon wishlist. Every so often I sort it by price, and pick off the low hanging fruit. I already have over 100 BDs, and haven't paid over $20 for most of them.

Wow Hardrock, the font on my Blackberry makes the 'r' in your name that comes after the 'd' look a little like a 'c'. Made me wonder for a second how you made it through the site filters. It also made me wanna scoot a lil further away from you!

Netflix my friend! It's how i get to watch all them blu-rays. And if you time the returns correctly, you get to watch new releases on release week, else they can go into "wait" mode. I only purchase blu-rays when i know the audio is good, and something to show off them Axioms.

Even new releases are usually under $20 if you wait a week, then shop around.
