Amazon has a new promotion up today.

Certainly a great chance to get a number of titles at 50% off or better.

We see a couple of interesting deals at Amazon today.

Best Buy has a new promotion for Blu-ray titles this week.

Choose from a selection of Blu-ray titles from the likes of Starz, Lions Gate and Platinum Disc and get two for $25. While some of the discs are budget titles, great savings can be had.

This offer ends June 21st.

Best Buy has added a $100 discount coupon book to their Insignia Blu-ray Player.

According to the website, the $349.99 player comes with the coupon book in the box.

You can redeem the coupons at your local Best Buy store for $100 in instant savings on a great collection of Blu-ray Disc movies from Disney, Touchstone and Miramax. The coupons can be used in store only.

The player is available online and also at most stores for online ordering for store pick up.

We see that Robocop is the deal of the day at Amazon today, listed for only $15.99 - a saving of 60% off the $40 retail price. I must admit I really like this movie, definitely one of the best that Verhoeven has directed in my opinion, and a steal at that price.

Remember to keep an eye on the Amazon deals this week - they are promoting High Definition gear all week!

We read over at Video Business that Walmart plans to extend its support of Blu-ray Disc by launching new dedicated sections in 1,200 outlets, and offering $100 store gift cards with Blu-ray player purchases in June.

The new ‘Hi-Def Blu-ray Experience Area’ will offer an increased selection of Blu-ray titles and new models of Blu-ray players from manufacturers like Magnavox, Samsung and Panasonic. Wal-Mart previously focused on Sony Blu-ray players.

Walmart will hand out $100 gift cards to anyone who purchases a Blu-ray player from June 8 through June 14 - discounted titles like 3:10 to Yuma, 300, War, Shooter and The Fifth Element will also feature that week.

The $100 gift card makes the Maganvox player effectively sub-$200 - quite a temptation for the bargain hunter!

If $16.95 seemed to expensive for you, Amazon has further reduced pricing for a handful of Warner titles to $14.95 - including Blade Runner (Five-Disc Complete Collector’s Edition), where the $14.95 represents a saving of 63%!

The other Warner titles reduced 57% are to $14.95 are 16 Blocks , 300, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and Syriana.

The Magnolia release The Host is also at $14.95, savings 57% off retail.

I hope you are keeping an eye on the Amazon Gold Box Page today if you are looking for a Blu-ray player.

The current offer is the Samsung BD-P1400 1080p Blu-Ray Disc Player for $269.98, a savings of over $130.

As a result it is the hottest selling Blu-ray title right now, ranked 3 1 in DVD sales.
