50% Off Blu-Ray @ Borders - 7/3 Only (Limit 2)
50% off BD's at Borders 7/3 (limit of 2)
usually their 40% off list price still puts them equal or slightly above deals you can find elsewhere but might be able to possibly find something with the extra 10% off (assuming they don't jack up prices)

99.9% most will be at their SRP, meaning a Blu-ray that has an SRP of $39.99 will cost $19.98.
I always check DVD Price Search from my iPhone before I buy a DVD/BD from Borders. I did the same during the time they cleaned out most of their inventory to make sure I was getting a good deal (or not).

I'm sure there is stuff to be found (multi disc sets especially) if you look hard enough
ex. 24 Season 7 - 72.99 list (per web site) - 50% = 36.50
Amazon's price shipped without tax 44.49
with tax at Borders you are still slightly less than the zon
good deal for someone with a Borders GC to burn
I am not here to justify Borders everyday pricing but this could be good for a select few items

Yeah, boxsets and hard-to-find catalog titles are the only discounts that'll be had.
I scored Director's Label 2 boxset when Borders was clearing their inventory for half off. Same goes for the complete series of Undeclared and Spaced.

This is pretty good if your Borders still carries Blu-rays. I went to 3 separate Borders yesterday and and 1 didn't sell DVDs or BDs anyomre, another had only new releases and the other one had a small amount of catalog titles they were liquidating and new releases.

Thanks OP! Nice find. The Borders in Clear Lake (Houston) still has a decent BD section.
Drav3n: The fine print says it does not work on special orders or reservations. Otis has been $9.49 at Fry's on BD the last few times I have been there. Not sure if you have a Fry's near you or whether they have consistent pricing or not but just FYI.

I'm looking at Sin City and Chicago, two of those titles that are never on sale anywhere. 50% of list is $18 and $17.50 (plus tax). That's better than anywhere else I've seen, although only a buck or two under what the DDD sale will be.

How does Borders manage to stay afloat with these kinda pricing ? I went to the one in Cerritos, SoCal. They have one stand alone rack of BDs, about 10 titles and they want about $35 for each. What's even the point of stocking these ? I have a $25 GC to burn but these prices kill...

I was considering some Criterions...and may still take a July 3rd run to a Borders...but, yeah, if DDD doesn't change their prices for the upcoming sale, the Criterions are $18 and $19 each after discount, with no tax or shipping. So...that's about $4 cheaper each then Borders would be after tax here in WA.

X-Men Trilogy = $42 + tax
also likely to have movie cash included for Ice Age Dawn Of The Dinosuars (Night At The Museum Battle Of The Smithsonian, or Wolverine)
