Sainsburys Goes Blu-Ray!

[Sonic67]

Well sort of. I was in the Savacentre store in Oldbury at dinnertime. Savacentre is a Sainsburys Hypermarket. Next to the PS3 games were two, count them two, blu-ray films. ‘300’ and ‘Fantastic Four 2’. Price was £19.97. Alongside was some leaflets explaining you needed a HD telly, HDMI cable and a PS3 to play them. Well duh. Okay not a big deal. Leaflets also say ‘only available at certain stores’.

So news is really: some large Sainsburys stores now stock some blu-ray films alongside the PS3 games.

ASDA up the road will probably sell them to you for slightly less and two action films isn’t a major thing but it does seem to be the first time I’ve seen them sell a HD film at all. There was no HD DVD films there but then Savacentre stock the 360 but not the add-on either.

Don't forget your Nectar card!

Good price for the U.K. - they're £24 each at Amazon.

Sainsbury's Hull also has '300' and 'Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer' on Blu-ray located next to their respective DVD versions for £19.97 each. Hopefully, they'll start stocking more of them as I currently work there and get a 10% discount.

It only seems to leave WH Smith as the main holdout for HD/BD in UK retail outlets.

That's it. I'm moving to Tescos

In all seriousness though. It doesn't matter at the moment due to the Sky high Prices of HD material.

Not to mention the oversized cases


I am actualy moving house though soon so Tesco's will be my local from now on

Asda in Wolverhampton have a small selection of HD DVD and Blu ray discs probably around 10 titles of each.Prices are around £17.90 each so not as good as online but better than now't.
