Are you doing your special exercises for Black Friday? We certainly are -- finger exercises. We should be clicking all over Amazon this week, as they kick off a weeklong sale on tons of Blu-ray and DVD titles.
This week will feature tons of time-limited deals on both Blu-ray and DVDs. Some of the sales will last a few hours, with many going a for a full day. Check out all of the titles here:
Having a hard time choosing just one? We suggest that you start with the Blu-ray Boxed Set of the Week, which is the Alien Anthology. This creepy set includes remasters of all four Alien films, with commentary and hours of extras. Our own Chris Chiarella recently spent countless hours with this set. He may have a few nightmares, but still gave this set a stellar review. This is a must-have, especially since Amazon is offering the set for $69.99, instead of the usually $139.99.
Another way to pick a few titles is by checking out Amazon's Spotlight Deals. If you take a peek, you'll see that you can save 48 percent on the BBC box set Life. There are also plenty of $10 titles, including the 70th anniversary of The Wizard of Oz, The Hangover, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and many more. Take a peek at all of the spotlight Blu-ray deals here:
There are just as many DVD sales going on, in case you need a few non-HD stocking stuffers. You can snag Toy Story 3 for under $20, as well as Up for just $12. The DVD version of Life is also on sale for $25.49, as is the box for Planet Earth ($43.49) and the critically acclaimed John Adams series ($29.99). There are also plenty of titles to be had for just $4. Take a look at the entire DVD spotlight collection here:
