How to Save Money when Buying DVDs

Despite the newer formats that have higher definition for entertainment purposes (Blu-Ray and HD DVD), the regular DVD is still the mainstream form of visual entertainment. New DVDs are about $20 on average for a one-disc DVD, but I have methods that can help you cut nearly 75% off of that! There are times when one method, or multiple methods will not work. When that happens try your luck at another method. If the DVD is a newer movie (i.e. Knocked Up, ect.), thern there's less of a chance of you getting a substantial discount off the average price.

I've had nothing but good luck with Amazon.com so far. Prices for movies that I cannot find in some places can go for around $4. I believe I got the whole Blade trilogy (seperately) for less than $15 altogether!

However, I do suggest reading seller's reviews prior to purchasing anything - despite their price. There have been known instances where a buyer either never gets their product, or it's in horrid condition. There are ways to get refunds through Amazon.com, but it's truly a hassle. You shouldn't have to go through such steps, especially when you're merely buying a product fairly.

There are a couple of downsides to buying online though. These downsides include shipping costs and a delay in use of the product. Shipping costs about $3-$4 in itself per DVD. So a DVD that is said to be $4 packs an additional $4 onto it making it a total of $8. Still, that's nearly a 50% cut off of some stores prices. And with the delay of use you need to wait a week or so just to obtain your product. If you were to buy your product in a store such as Best Buy, then you'd immediately get the joy and satisfaction of viewing your DVD at your leisure. But isn't the amount of money you save truly worth it?
