I got an email this morning from Amazon that some of my wish list pre releases were about to be released.
I looked at the also viewed and noticed that Act of Valor will be out on DVD June 5th!!! My sister was talking about getting it on DVD when we walked out of the movies.
Safehouse is also out that week too.
I don’t usually buy many movies when they first come out on DVD and are selling for $20+, but I think i’ll pay the money and pick this one up on blue ray when it comes out. Great film
Best Buy and other places like that usually have new releases at $15ish.
Yep been tracking the release date on this one. Hopefully it’ll have some good bonus features with it.

The big poster at Chinamart said June 5th availability. Gonna get a copy for sure, just need to decide whether to do it digitally or buy a DVD and hope I can convert it to play on my iPad.
People still buy DVD’s? I thought Blu-Ray sent them the way of VHS tapes.
Combo Pack! You get Blu, reg and some form of digital/streaming. My favorite is where you can “download it” from the internet.
The first week is usually the best time to buy - most places (Best Buy, Target, Wal-Mart, etc.) will sell a movie at deep discounts the first week as a loss-leader to get you into the store. Usually you can pick up what is normally a $25+ Blu Ray combo pack for around $15. Since I have the self control of a samurai, I usually just pre-order on Amazon as I walk out of the theater of something I want to own and it shows up Thursday the week it comes out and I end up paying ~ the same amount, since Amazon discounts new releases as well.
Also, friends don’t let friends buy DVDs.
Yes, I do.
I still have a Beta player floating around somewhere too. :fie:
I do not know what day, but pre-orders are up on iTunes. I just clicked pre-order and yes to auto-download when it is available.
Hmm. The 5th is my Birthday and I work at Bestbuy. Buy Bluray or go with the digital download.
and i have an HD-DVD player:D
Oh snap, put that on the back shelf next to the laser disc player. :jester:
Good call and thanks for the advice! And yes, I’m planning on getting it in Blue Ray 
do you have a BB reward zone card? they send me coupon offers quite often…hell after I bought my 55in Panasonic a few months back, I got a $20 gift cert and picked up Mission Impossible for the cost of sales tax!
I’ll pick it up when it’s available to rent on iTunes.
My dad still has the old Laserdisc, the machine looks damn near new and he has about a dozen movies. Now that’s old school.
…
It is, but real old school is the VHS player that loads on TOP of the machine. Some of them even had TV like turn dials on the front!
Act of Valor was one of the best war movies to date, I was so glad Hollywood didn’t get their mits on it and fuck it up. Having real SEALs play the parts and not actors was quite refreshing and made it even better. Definately getting a copy of this movie when it comes out, thanks for the heads up.
