I’d normally list individual titles, but there are so many Blu-Ray bargains at Blockbuster that I’d probably still be here this time next year!

Prices start as low as £9.71 and from a quick look the big highlight looks like being the Harry Potter films for £10.93 each. There’s really a lot to look through, so be sure to check out the full list.

Comedy DVDs £9.97 Each

There’s a range of comedy DVDs priced at £9.97 each instore at Sainsburys, until the 7th of December.

These are mainly the stand-up stuff which comes out every year just before Christmas, most of which gets even cheaper on the 26th of December!

Bill Bailey: Tinselworm
Extras: The Special
Frankie Boyle: Live At The Hackney Empire
Lee Evans: Big - Live At The O2
Michael McIntyre: Live And Laughing
Peter Kay: Special Kay

All are recommended, bar the Peter Kay one - it’s just a load of clips of programmes he’s made appearances in, and would be better off used as a rather expensive coaster than a Christmas present.

The David Lean Centenary Collection £14.99

The David Lean Centenary Collection

David Lean was an English director, producer, screenwriter, and editor, best known for big-screen epics such as Lawrence Of Arabia and Doctor Zhivago. Many consider him to be one of the best directors of all time, with people such as Steven Spielberg and Stanley Kubrick praising him over the years.

The David Lean Centenary Collection is a boxset that contains 10 of his best works, but sadly neither of the two films mentioned above. What you do get are copies of In Which We Serve, This Happy Breed, Blithe Spirit, Brief Encounter, Great Expectations, Oliver Twist, The Passionate Friends, Madeleine, The Sound Barrier, and Hobson’s Choice.

Play.com have this set of cheap DVDs available for £14.99 - for more information, click here.

Transformers (Blu-Ray) £9.99

Transformers (Blu-Ray)

Many people of a certain age will remember the animated series of Transformers with a fond heart, even if it was basically a glorified advert for the accompanying toy line.

The big-screen version took a fair while to make it to cinemas, but when it did we were rewarded with something that surpassed expectations in a big way. The sequel is due out next year as well, so there’s something to look forward to.

Instore at Gamestation you can buy Transformers, on Blu-Ray, for £9.99. Alternatively, it’s also available in the Asda 2 for £20 on selected Blu-Rays offer which is running both online and off.

Disney/Pixar Ultimate Collection £29.99

The Disney/Pixar Ultimate Collection contains many cheap DVDs filled with top quality animation

For many years audiences everywhere loved the Disney style of animation, which managed to appeal to both young and old with stories that are classic in nature. That was until in 1995, when Pixar’s release of Toy Story managed (pretty much overnight) to turn these same people over to the merits of CGI animation - Disney eventually purchased their rivals for $7.4 billion in 2006, and have near-enough ditched the old-style cartoon work completely.

Inside the Disney/Pixar Ultimate Collection boxset you’ll find eight movies (Toy Story, A Bug’s Life, Toy Story 2, Monsters Inc, Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Cars, and Ratatouille), the Pixar Shorts disc, and a documentary titled "The Pixar Story" which looks at the fascinating story behind the company.

Pop in to Zavvi and get this set for £29.99.

Sex And The City: The Essential Collection £47.99

Sex And The City: The Essential Collection

You may or may not have heard about the problems that Zavvi have been having in regards to getting stock of CDs, DVDs, and games because Woolworths’ Entertainment UK distribution company have been put into administration.

This means that only a few items can be ordered online, and sadly the Sex And The City: The Essential Collection boxset isn’t one of them. Here’s hoping the problems get sorted soon, and we can go back to bagging top bargains!

Instore at Zavvi you can pick this up for £47.99.

A Fast Show Threesome £9.99

A Fast Show Threesome

The Fast Show was so incredibly popular that a few spin-offs were made, starring some of the programme’s best-loved characters. None of them were particularly successful, probably because it’s quite difficult to extend a small slot in a sketch show to a full series.

A Fast Show Threesome contains every episode of Grass (where Billy Bleach gets a new identity after witnessing a gangland murder), Swiss Toni, and Ted & Ralph.

Bush BD-01 Blu-Ray Player £99.99

Bush BD-01 Blu-Ray Player

For the first time since the format was born, you can now get a Blu-Ray player for under £100. The Bush BD-01 Blu-Ray player isn’t the best on the market by any means, but it’s almost certainly the cheapest.

These not only play Blu-Ray discs in high definition, they also upscale your standard DVD collection. This essentially means that the picture is improved quite a bit (although not as good as a true HD disc, obviously).

If you fancy this, click here to buy it for £99.99 from Argos.

Life On Mars: Series One And Two (Blu-Ray) £12.93 Each

Life On Mars: The Complete Series One (Blu-Ray)    Life On Mars: The Complete Series Two (Blu-Ray)

It’s worth pointing out at this point that both Life On Mars: Series One And Two, on Blu-Ray, are not in true high definition but are instead upscaled. Think of it like a midway point between standard DVD and HD, but at a fairly decent price.

The show itself has recently been remade for American audiences, which will no doubt end in tears. Our version had a really good nostalgic feeling about it that worked very well, and continues to do so in the sequel series "Ashes To Ashes".

Click here to get Life On Mars: The Complete Series One (Blu-Ray), or click here to buy Life On Mars: The Complete Series Two (Blu-Ray) - both of which are £12.93 at The Hut.

Remember to use The Hut £5 discount voucher if you end up spending £40 or more!

The Ultimate Alien And Predator Collection £10.89

The Ultimate Alien And Predator Collection

The difference between The Ultimate Alien And Predator Collection and the Alien And Predator: Total Destruction Collection is that this one doesn’t contain the downright awful Alien Vs Predator: Requiem. It does, however, include the equally horrendous Alien Vs Predator.

Alien, Aliens and Predator are the true highlights of this set, but I’m probably in the minority when I say that Predator 2 has its moments. Danny Glover is no Arnie, yet this doesn’t really matter all that much - the Predator itself is the star, if we’re being honest.

Sendit.com are selling this for £10.89 - click here for more details. Be quick though, as this is part of their "deal of the day" promotion and will be gone in just a few hours…
