Target offers buy one, get one free deal for select Blu-ray movies

If you love your Blu-ray library, you'll love this week's deal at Target. Seems that they're offering a new "buy one get one free" deal. By that we mean 11 selected titles are available at 50% off -- the titles they chose are actually pretty good. The only downside is that the majority of Blu-ray-o-philes might have most of these already. Still, not a bad deal to get these at $15 a piece. Here's the list of select titles, so get your hunt on:
  • Casino Royale
  • Spiderman 3
  • Live Free or Die Hard
  • Ocean's Thirteen
  • 300
  • Saw IV
  • 3:10 to Yuma
  • Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
  • The Simpson's Movie
  • The Game Plan
  • Ratatouille

40GB appears in Target, scans for $399


Take this as even further confirmation that the 40GB PS3 is coming. Scheduled to be in stock on 10/28, the new PS3 is ringing up at a nice $399.99. Add a Spider-man 3 Blu-ray disc, remove PS2 support, and you have one of the least surprising price drops ever. Sony won't "officially" announce this yet, of course -- there's just too many 60GB systems lying around.

Target will sell standalone Blu-ray player, but not HD-DVD


Beginning in October, savvy Target shoppers looking to jump onto the Blu-ray bandwagon can join the party with a standalone Blu-ray player. The Sony BDP-S300 Blu-ray player will be offered in addition to the PS3, providing consumers with a decision for their Blu-Ray movie watching. With another "tug" in the HD tug-of-war, Blu-ray gets a bonus as being alone on the shelving space for standalone players. Target has yet to announce plans to begin offering HD-DVD standalone players (not counting the already offered Xbox 360 add-on drive). As far as retail space for HD discs, Target has still confirmed they will continue to sell both Blu-ray and HD-DVD discs, alongside the standard DVD movies.

December 12th -- time to bum rush Target again...

This is just a rumor, but it may as well be true. Tomorrow, it seems that most Targets will be getting a shipment of PS3's in. What does this mean to you, oh PS3-owning crowd? Not much. How about to the rest of us who don't have one (read: me)? It's another chance to score. It might be our last chance before the big ol' Christmas rush. Perhaps it's even too late for that. Hmm, there's not really much more to say about that. Good luck? Make sure you give the Target a call before storming in there -- it might not be every store that's getting some. I'll do my part and check around the local stores here and let you know tomorrow. By then, though, it'll probably be too late. Sorry!
