Or save an additional $25.00 by ....borrowing and watching your 'friends' copy of the dvd/blu-ray. If a good show, you might consider backing it up to your personal media collection.
Or save an additional $20.00 by renting and backing up said dvd/blu-ray movie to your personal media collection from a movie store/online rental service.
Or watch many movies on hdtv in a few weeks later if you have 4-6 movie channels for the price of 1 blu-ray movie per month and pvr the movies you want to watch more than once or watch with friends. You can get semi-hd this way too or above-dvd quality.
Typically I buy my discs from a local retailer (Newbury Comics), and I don't pay anything near $35 for them even new (I buy a lot of used discs, because at 12 to 15 bucks, it's an easy buy for me).
Just makes it all the more crazy that Target and Best Buy are asking me to pay 35 dollars or more for the same movies.
@Wes: Or just sell your HDTV and save all your money!
I get tired of repeating this. Check prices of new release Blu-ray versus special edition DVD. The Blu-ray is either $5 more, or the same price as the DVD. If $5 is too much extra to pay for a movie, then stick with the DVD!

I'd prefer if they'd drop their titles below $35 a piece.
I guess that's too much to ask.

Buy them online. Most chart items are $25 or less.
