Deal of the Day: 2 for $25 Blu-ray at Best Buy online

by Alan Tsang { Jun 19th 2008 at 7:00AM }

Blu-ray sales are a bit more rare after the end of the format war, but there are still some hot deals to be found. Here is the latest offering from Best Buy: 2 for $25. Two of these films are this blogger's personal favorites - Dawn of the Dead and Total Recall. The Masters of Horror series is also worthy of a look, although the quality of each director's feature varies greatly. There is even a pre-order for a small gem of a Western that has yet to be released.

Keep in mind, however, this offer is only valid online.

The ones Alan mentions as his favourites are also mine but I wouldn't personally get old films on Blu-ray as I can't see the encoding being anything special,though I would like to eat my hat in this instance.

The Total Recall transfer isn't too bad but nowhere near the quality of the Stanley Kubrick collection. You can see in alot of movies how bad the original film stock is when it's a straight up transfer. Blazing Saddles is a perfect example of this.

This deal doesn't save that much over Amazon....after tax and shipping, it beats out Amazon by $2. Oh well...already put in the order.
