August 28th, 2008 · No Comments

Best Buy Co Inc. stores this weekend will tout a new Labor Day sale on high-definition Blu-ray disc titles.

Beginning Aug. 31, a batch of Blu-ray titles will be discounted to $14.99, including Enter the Dragon, A Clockwork Orange, Alexander Revisted, The Fugitive, The Aviator, Swordfish, and March of the Penguins.

Additionally, a selection of titles will be discounted to $19.99, including Shoot ‘Em Up, Troy, 300, Pan’s Labyrinth, Ocean’s Thirteen, We Are Marshall, and 16 Blocks.

Amazon.com this week began offering Blu-ray disc titles as low as $15.99 in another effort to drive high-definition adoption.

Titles discounted to $15.99 include Twister, Goodfellas, and V for Vendetta. Additionally, The Perfect Storm was price cut to $16.49, while The Brotherhood of the Wolf - Director’s Cut was price cut to $16.99.

Toshiba Corp. this month began selling the new XD-E500 upconvert DVD player in an effort to capitalize on consumers unwilling to invest in Sony Corp.’s Blu-ray format.

The player is said to provide standard DVD images closer to high-definition quality, allowing consumers to utilize their existing DVD library.

Additionally, Sony this month released the new 80GB PS3 at an aggressive $399.99, the price of its previous 40GB model.

The product includes a built-in Blu-ray disc drive for high-def movies and a new Dualshock 3 controller with rumble functionality.
