Making the jump to Blu-Ray. Best place for movies?

Well...I did it. I finally ordered a Sony Blu-Ray player. I will be moving my 720p Vizio TV to the bedroom and I'm getting a new 1080p Sony XBR TV for the living room to hook up with the Blu-Ray player.

I can't help it. I'm hooked on HD like a $20 hooker on crack. My question is, where is the best place to buy Blu-Ray movies? I don't intend to buy a ton of movies because we can switch our Netflix account to Blu-Ray for an extra $1 a month (no brainer), but there are a select few that I would like to own like: Iron Man, Transformers, 300, The Dark Night...etc. Who has the best prices? Thanks!

I like 1080p better. Plus the xbox360 is in my son's room, not the living room.

i cant tell the difference between 1080 and 720....

720 is 10 times better than any poop divx video and any non hd tv channel...

btw 99% of the movies i watch are dvd rip movies....

I'll probably just pick up one or two for now so I have something to pop in the player and go "ooooh-aaaaah". I might wait until the Christmas deals kick in before I buy too many. I'll also be getting Blu-Ray selections in from Netflix to watch.
