Went to Walmart at 4:30am on Black Friday and was able to pick up a Magnavox Blu-Ray DVD Player for $128. Checked the player out on Consumer Reports and it was one of there Top Rated Blu-Ray Players. Also go the new Rambo, Casino and 3:10 to Yuma for $15. Looks awsome on my HDTV. Christmas came early.

 

I got the Sony for $180 and the Samsung 42 inch plasma for $700. Looks sweet.

 

You can find some good deals on Blu-Ray movies at Amazon

 

Is there really that much difference betweed DVD's and Blu-Rays on an HD TV?

 

What is this Blackus Fridayus you speak of?

 

I would not say there is a huge difference but the picture is sharper and the sound is clearer. Its much better if your HDTV supports full 1080P. Mine is only 720p/1080i.

 

In the U.S. it's traditionally the first Christmas shopping day of the season, the Friday after Thanksgiving. Stores have big sales to draw in customers. Some stores count on this day for up to 30% of their yearly sales. Tomorrow/Today is Cyber Monday, the busiest online shopping day.

 

Oh, so did you get me anything cool then? We have boxing day (the day after christmas) up here for that sort of thing.
