Sony BDP-S350 Blu-Ray Player (With Five Blu-Rays) £154.99

If you thought that the change from using DVDs to VHS was impressive, just wait until you’ve seen anything in high definition - it will knock your socks off! Originally there were two formats, but recently almost all of the big companies decided to stop supporting HD-DVD (leaving Blu-Ray as the only option).

Blu-Ray players will not only play Blu-Ray discs, they also upscale your standard DVD collection. This basically means that the picture will be improved greatly - just don’t expect HD quality!

Click here to buy a Sony BDP-S350 Blu-Ray Player, with five Blu-Rays, for £154.99 from Amazon. To get your discs, scroll down a bit until you see "Product Promotions" and click the "Add both to basket" button (the other two Blu-Rays need to be mailed away for).

Jimmy Carr: Live £7.89

Some people find Jimmy Carr’s style of comedy quite hurtful and upsetting - these people should probably go and get a sense of humor, as he’s nowhere near as offensive as other comedians (Bernard Manning used to be a regular on TV, for God’s sake!).

The Jimmy Carr: Live DVD sees him performing at London’s Bloomsbury Theatre. I should point out that this isn’t his new DVD, but rather the very first one from 2004.

Sendit.com have this available for £7.89 - for more information, click here. Be quick though, as this offer is part of their "deal of the day" promotion (and, unlike HMV, it will actually go after the 10th of December).

The Wire: The Complete Series £82.93

Each season of The Wire focuses on a different facet of the city of Baltimore - in order they are the drug trade, the port, the city bureaucracy, the school system, and the print news media. Although it’s never won any awards or been commercially successful, anyone who has seen even a small part of the show will tell you that it’s one of the greatest TV series’ ever made.

The Wire: The Complete Series boxset contains a total of 24 discs, which hold all 60 episodes ever made. You’ll also find multiple audio commentaries, and a few short featurettes (pity there aren’t more, but as it’s such a brilliant programme I doubt you’ll mind too much).

The Dark Knight £9.99

With all of the hype that surrounded the release of The Dark Knight, there was a danger that it could have been one of the biggest letdowns in history. Thankfully this isn’t the case at all - it’s quite possibly the best movie of 2008, and might even be considered the best superhero film of all time as well.

The DVD is a double disc set that comes with a few special features, including a featurette looking at the making of the movie, six episodes of "Gotham Tonight", and six IMAX scenes.

Pop in to Morrisons and pick this up for £9.99.

Northern Exposure: All The Seasons £50.97

Northern Exposure is a comedy/drama series about the cultural clash between a New York doctor and the people of the fictional town Cicely, Alaska. Stories examine how people of different backgrounds and experiences try to co-exist, with plots revolving around the intricacies and eccentricities of the inhabitants.

Inside the Northern Exposure: All The Seasons boxset you’ll find 28 discs that contain all 110 episodes ever made. There’s also some deleted scenes on many of the individual episodes.

Stephen Fry: In America £11.99

Stephen Fry: In America is a BBC documentary series that sees the actor travel across America to reveal a country in which he was almost born. I say "almost" because his dad turned down a job in New Jersey just before he was born.

The DVD is a double disc set that contains all six fully uncut episodes, as well as some unseen footage.

The Naked Gun Trilogy £5

It’s quite hard to believe that Leslie Nielsen was once a serious actor, with lead roles in science fiction classic "Forbidden Planet" and as the ship’s captain in "The Poseidon Adventure". His appearance in 1980 comedy "Airplane!" marked a turning point in his career, with the big highlights being The Naked Gun films.

Inside The Naked Gun Trilogy boxset you’ll find The Naked Gun: From The Files Of Police Squad!, The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell Of Fear, and The Naked Gun 33?: The Final Insult. These are all excellent, although the last one is slightly less funnier than the other two.

Play.com are selling this for £5 - click here for more details.

The Santa Clause Christmas Collection £7.99

Tim Allen’s three Santa Clause films have varied wildly in quality - the first is very good, the second is OK, and the third one is a big steaming pile of turd. Here’s hoping that they don’t bother making any more, as the human mind wouldn’t be able to cope with such pointless cinema.

The Santa Clause Christmas Collection contains them all in one handy set. There’s also a fairly large amount of special features to enjoy on each movie, from audio commentaries to deleted scenes.

Ultimate Rambo Collection £9.93

If you’re an action movie fan and haven’t seen any of the Rambo films, I command you to purchase the Ultimate Rambo Collection boxset right this second!

In it you’ll find four of the best examples of how to do the genre well. Be warned though, the most recent one (confusingly titled "Rambo") is incredibly violent - some would say a little bit too much so.
