Blu Ray/DVD combo packs!!

Well Hello there,

It's Saturday night and I'm sitting here watching Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade, and I'm thinking that maybe I want to pick that up on DVD or Blu Ray.

This of course leads me to my topic for this post. I recently bought Inception on Blu Ray/DVD combo. My thought and reason for buying this combo instead of just one or the other is really simple.

It's bloody awesome!! Just think about it!

You are getting or paying for both a Blu Ray and DVD copy of the same movie, so you can watch the corresponding version on either your Blu Ray or DVD player. Also, having this combo deal makes when you want to show the movie to your friend and he or she doesn't have a Blu Ray player. It's having the best of both worlds!

And here's the kicker.

The combo pack is only two or three dollars more than the two-disc DVD copy of the same movie. Now keep in mind that I'm referring to new releases, and the store that has these prices is Best Buy. I'm sure most other retail stores have similar sales. Best Buy usually has new release combo packs for either $25-26 dollars during the movies initial release.

I know most people would disagree, but I think it's a really great tactic.

At this point I bought several movies as combo packs. My Blu Ray library is not as large as my DVD collection because I'm only buying certain (memorable, favorite, classic) movies under this format.

It's times like this that I say to myself (like many of you have I'm sure), it's great to be alive this day in age of high definition, digital, media.

I know I've mentioned this before, but I'll have mini reviews of films posted very soon.

So, my verdict: Blu Ray/DVD combo packs are great! They have many benefits, and the cost is very affordable.

Until next time.
