Black Friday week is upon us! And when I say “us” I mean those of you in the USA and those of us in other countries willing to shop online and take advantage of your super Thanksgiving Week bargains! Once again, Blu-ray movies and players are the hot items at most retail outlets.

I thought it might be easier to make use of all the Cyber Monday deals if I pulled them from the Black Friday Blu-ray Guide and gave them their own page. It’s far from complete but spotlights some great bargains that I hope you can take advantage of today.

No way! Come on! I may not have cared a whole hell-of-a-lot for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen but I think after Michael Bay‘s comments about his longer IMAX cut of the film and his love for Blu-ray we all thought that the disc would end up being something special. Well, it turns out that only SOME of the Blu-ray disc versions of the film will be special. And you’ll be able to buy them at Wal-Mart for a premium price, of course.

Bay had talked up his longer cut a while back and was happy to let us know we’d see it on Blu-ray. I guess, when I posted about the interview that contained those quotes and the fact that the Blu-ray would echo what Christopher Nolan achieved with The Dark Knight disc, I didn’t read Bay’s comments closely enough:

“MB: We’re going to do a special IMAX skew where it’ll open up for those scenes. You can see top to bottom.”

(Read our article on Michael Bay’s comments on the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Blu-ray here)

Shit. Do you know what he’s saying there? I just figured it out. A “skew” is a retail SKU. A “Stock Keeping Unit” or code that retailers use to identify unique products. Like a cheap, normal copy of a movie and an exclusive 1 minute longer IMAX copy. So he knew all along that we’d be forced to make the choice. For the record, here are the links to the regular edition ($24.86 at Wally-world) and the 1 minute longer, Wal-Mart exclusive IMAX edition ($33.99). Go check them out! Then remember that Wal-Mart hates home video (as evidenced by their recent cutbacks in Blu-ray and DVD shelf-space) and give your hard-earned money to Amazon.com instead.
