I got Adventureland for $12.99
I already had this on DVD, but I could resist it's low price on Blu-Ray.
Every time I go to Target I always eyeball this BD, but its always $25-$30. And it was
$40 [on BD] at my local Indie DVD Store. What a great buy! :)

Incredible Hulk can be purchased at Frys.com or Frys store for $7.99. They do give rainchecks if its sold out in store. They have plenty of $7.99 movies now including Apollo 13, Public Enemies and others..

Just buy 10 blank BD cases for like $10. They use the Blu-ray coverart, so all you need is the BD case.

I have heard people on other forums mentioning that they have asked for the regular bluray cases when buying the ppv discs at Blockbuster and getting them. I haven't tried it myself, but I was planning on trying it next time I go to one.

I asked once and was told the stores receive the discs in the rental cases and never have the regular BD cases.

That's what they told me last couple stores I've asked at.

Re: Used Blu-Rays at Blockbuster.
 
I bought the Star Wars: Clone Wars bluray yesterday, used at a Blockbuster. I asked the guy at the counter about getting a standard bluray case for it. He checked in a cabinet behind the counter, then went and took a PS3 case and swapped it out for me. While doing it we had a conversation about how he hates the cases that Blockbuster puts all their dvd/blurays in and how when he buys any from there he swaps the cases out for regular ones. So depending on who is at the counter, it might work.

Just curious, but shouldn't this be in the blu-ray bargains forum?

Re: Used Blu-Rays at Blockbuster.
 
I will admit to also swapping out any of the Blockbuster cases that I've got with PPV discs too, but I usually swap cases with something that I was planning on getting rid of anyway and trade or sell off the crappy cases. I've been purging my collection lately and most of the ones I sold off were in eco-cases or in the Blockbuster/Movie Gallery cases. But I have never bought any empty dvd cases just for that.

I'm surprised they're that much since the Blockbuster I sometimes go to usually has Blu-rays 2 for $20.

There is a 6.99 thread in the blu-ray section. Maybe not the same as this one, but sometimes the prices do vary.
