I think this is when I can officially say ... no more excuses on people not having Blu-Ray players. They're way too cheap now. You can get decent name brand Blu Ray players for $50 to $75 for a plain jane player, $75 to $130 for one with WI-FI, and $130+ for one with 3D and WI-FI.
Considering that I paid $210 for a Black Friday Blu-Ray special at Walmart 3 years ago for a plain jane model, and about the same for a DVD player about 11 years ago, I'd say those prices are really good.
It took 3 years, but every laptop and TV in my house now has Blu-Ray. It's the standard in my house now.

Hence why it's not really that cheap.
(Seriously, buy a PS3 ... it's a much better deal)

hmmmm but no other listings for it anywhere.
I'm okay with picking this case up, then going out and getting the blu-ray versions to pop into the transforming cases, then flogging off the basic dvd's to someone else. I got Prime and Bumblebee, kinda want to keep the collection flowing.

Not yet, but I'm sure that Megatron case will eventually turn up since they've done OP and BB in the past.
