    When I went into Asda (Duffryn) on Monday, they were advertising the BlueRay (inc DVD) for around the 18 pound mark. Did they knock a tenner off on Monday night???

    Edit: I've just looked online and it is £17.93 at Asda, which seems to ring a bell with the price I saw instore yesterday. Unless they put a special promo on today, sorry but you've made a mistake.

    No it's £17.93 for the Bluray + DVD combi pack ONLINE @ ASDA
    BUT it was £19.71 INSTORE when I was there on Monday

    But the same pack is only £15 in Morrisons

    You can get the DVD for JUST £5 at Morrisons IF you had one of the £7 OFF vouchers that was in MOST Sunday papers and at least the Daily Star & Daily Express on Monday.
    The "drawback" is that to use the voucher you need to do a £50 shop (not including the Avatar DVD) - otherwise it is £12

    However I got mine for just £5 without the minimum £50 spend.

    I just found someone queuing at the tills with at least £50 worth of shopping in their trolley, asked if they were getting the Avatar DVD under "the offer" - they said NO :j , so I explained how it worked, gave them the voucher, the DVD and £5 and waited the other side the till for them, whereupon they gave me the DVD :)

    I did wonder afterwards that IF you managed to find a "dozy" till operator that didn't really know the difference between the DVD an the Bluray+DVD combi pack (very very similar), there would be a reasonable chance that they would still accept the £7 off MOC and you'd then get the Bluray+DVD combi for just £8

    Worth a try I think - all they can do is replace with the correct item :)

    ASDA were definitely doing the DVD (not Blu-ray) for £8 yesterday (Tuesday) - we picked one up. It's just the movie, no special features, so if that's an issue you might want to hang on. Still cheaper than the pictures though...

    £8 at Asda. Asda is doing it for £8 in-store.
    This needs to be removed as it's incorrect, no way is the Blu-Ray £8 in Asda.

    Ive just been into ASDA (after reading this) and I can confirm that the Blu-Ray is £19.71 not £8. I asked the guy to check and he rang it through the till and it stated £19.71. So dont waste a journey like I did :(

    Just checked my local ASDA and I can confirm what everyone is saying. The DVD is £8 but the Blu-Ray combi pack is £19.71.
