Cheapest place to buy Blu-rays, or videogames?
I am fed up paying all the money for blu-rays in particular at bestbuy and futureshop and even Wal-Mart, anyone got any stores or websites where I can get blurays for cheap? I am going to try Amazon.ca, but anyone know of any other websites or anything?
Thanks.

No, you are going to try amazon.com 
They won't ship games to you, but they will ship blu-rays. Yes you'll pay a shipping charge to get it from the states, but it still is usually more affordable. Buy 2-4 movies and you're laughing (as they'll all ship together). I find the average cost to be around $20-$25 for a bluray, whereas many titles at futureshop are in the $30-$40 range. Batman is $36 at futureshop! That just ain't right.
I'm waiting until late november where I plan to buy Transformers, Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, and Batman at the same time which should save me about $30.

Plus Amazon.com often has buy two get one free or even buy one get one free deals on Blu-ray movies.

Even less when you only pay $50 for $100 worth of itunes rentals! Seriously though, that's the type of movie I not only want a physical copy of, but I want it in the highest of quality. Itunes hd is cool, but it isn't quite blu-ray. I probably only buy 5-7 movies per year ... the rest I'll be renting over the tubes!

Well, I have been in Europe for like 2 months, and when I left out dollar was .94ish to the USD, now it is like .83 or some bogus crap, so you think with amazon.com the exchange rate will still be fine? I figure so, and was comparing .com to .ca, but wasn´t sure if they shipped the stuff to Canada.
I want Transformers, Dark Night, Iron Man, and Indy 4 on Blu-Ray, so I guess I wait to get all when they have sale?
I have also noticed blu's on amazon.com to be like $25, where as in Canada futureshop are all over 30, which is bull. Thanks for help. If you see any sales, PM me!

They also ship out of MTL, so no duties.

Really, when I made an order with Amazon.com I had to pay duties and shipping. Either way, it was cheaper than Amazon.ca, Transformers was $10 less, and Band of Brothers was $30 cheaper. So it still worked out. I will post again when they ship the stuff (in like Nov.) if they charge me duty.
Amazon.ca didn't charge me duty, obviously.
Also, I got my games off Amazon.ca, they were cheaper than futureshop, with free shipping so...
