Hi guys,

I'm from Australia and I'm visiting New York next week.

Where do you guys recommend to buy Blu-Ray/HD-DVD discs?

I'm staying around Times Square.

Thanks

Head down to Union Square (14th St). There's a Virgin Megastore there but they usually are full pop on the prices. Right next to the Megastore is a Circuit City which has a decent amount.

There's a Best Buy on 23rd and 6th that ain't bad.

Good luck and no worries.

Thanks for the reply.

I had a browse through the Circuit City and Best Buy websites. How do the in-store prices compare? Circuit City seems to have them on the website at retail.

In NYC, there really isn't a huge selection for discs. It's weird. I end up going out to NJ where the best buys there have a larger selection.

Regarding prices, most places here are full price unless there's some sort of sale going on.

In all honestly, I end up purchasing my blu/HD discs online. Much cheaper and I don't have to search this huge city to save $5

Yeah I might order from Amazon and get it delivered to the hotel I'm staying at.

Thanks

try discorama and jnr.

Try J&R Music World down on Park Row in lower Manhattan. Take the N train to the City Hall stop and you'll find J&R located across the street from City Hall itself.

J&R has a huge selection of both standard DVDs as well as Blu-ray and HD DVD. They have pretty much any electronic device you could want as well, so it's fun shopping all around.

discorama has a %20 off already discounted sale for all hd dvd n blu rays but only till end of july.just picked up $ titles for $15.99 each plus tax.not a huge selection but something for everyone

Do they have a website with their selection?

That's exactly what my old high school buddy who moved to Australia did when he came to visit me here in the states. I actually live in Houston, but I met up with him in New York and we hung out there for 2 weeks. He ordered a ton off of Amazon and got them sent to his hotel room.

Do they have a website with their selection?

No. You have to go to the store. I'd go to the main store. They'd probably have the best selection.

I would agree for the best prices try Disc-O-Rama and J&R.

Thanks. Just got back from there. Picked up The Jerk and Lethal Weapon 2 for $15.99 each. the one at West 4th seems to have a bigger collection but there were some different ones (like Speed) at the Union Sq one. I wish I can get on some kind of mailing list to know when these things start...

There's a store called Entertainment Outlet on 40th St. and the corner of 5th Ave. (right next to Bryant Park and the NYC Library, which are within walking distance of Times Square: http://www.entoutlet.com/aboutus.asp). There's a wall of BD and HD-DVD titles and a 40" 1080p Sony LCD hooked-up to a first-gen Samsung BD player. There are more BD titles than HD-DVD one's but both formats are well-represented and the prices aren't monstruous. I just got there from lunch with an HD-DVD copy of "The Host." Happy shopping! :)

I posted about it a couple of weeks ago. No one listens to me :(

If you're going to be in the village, there's an Entertainment Outlet down here as well.

There's also a place in Times Square that will break street date if you want to pay full price to get it :(

Someone posted something about the store at the beginning of July. Whoever that was, THANKS! I just wish I can find out sooner. I'm looking for specific titles and they always run out by the time I find out. :mad:

How much did the Host end up costing at Entertainment Outlet @ Bryant Park?

That was me.

i posted about the deal at discorama when they had the buy any three hd discs for $60.00 which was a great deal if you chose the discs which were discounted to $27.00. most of their discs on blu ray or hd dvd are $19.99. they dont have that bigger selection,not like a hundred titles on each format but have a large enough one to make it worth a trip if youre nearby.
but i picked up saw,space cowboys,reservoir dogs , invincible and the warriors.
they do get some titles early also but you didnt hear that from me.
