Editor’s Note: I will be updating this page throughout the day as more deals are uncovered, so stay tuned.

Today is Cyber Monday, the unofficial holiday that is the web’s response to Black Friday. By today, you’re all back at work in your cubicles, still hungover from turkey and three straight days of leftovers. And since you’re a savvy consumer, you didn’t stay out too long on Friday. You’ve waited until Monday, where all the best deals seem to reside.

With that in mind, I will be keeping an eye on things all day around the web. And since I’m the guy who brings you This Week in Blu-ray, you can expect to see a lot of sweet Blu-ray deals. First up, a look at two of the biggest online retailers.

BEST BUY

The big yellow tag has a bunch of Blu-ray’s under $10 today, including a few major releases from this year. They can all be found on this page, with a few choice selections listed below. They also have a good list of Blu-ray titles being sold for $12.99 to $14.99, and a bunch being sold for $15 and more.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine
The Terminator
Ronin
Robocop
The Transporter
and Several Masters of Horror titles

That’s not to mention TV on DVD and Blu-ray. Can you handle the awesomeness of Eastbound and Down for only $9.99, or the first season of Friday Night Lights for $14.99? I didn’t think so. Find more via the Best Buy Cyber Monday Movies page.

Best Buy also has a major sale on Blu-ray players — everything from Sony to Panasonic to LG models — starting at $129. Unlike the Black Friday Deals, these are quality models being sold for much less than regular price. You can find those over here.

AMAZON

Amazon has some equally ridiculous deals going on, including some great Blu-ray movie prices as well as a major Criterion sale. For those who missed Barnes & Noble’s big 50% off Criterion sale last month, you might want to get on this one while it lasts. Here’s a bit of a rundown:

Amazon has these and so much more. I would urge you to start here and go nuts. Oh, and don’t forget to browse Amazon’s Criterion Collection sale, which runs up to 57% off.

Not that these deals aren't good but some of them pale in comparison to last week.

A good example are those House and Office DVDs which up until yesterday were at $13 a season for all of them. I am sure others were the same way. I only know those 2 because I bought all the seasons of each last Wednesday.

Here's my thing, i enjoy some blu-ray movies...but some movies weren't meant to be brighter and with more clarity. I am going to have to go with what John Landis (director of An American Werewolf in London) said...when the studio was making a blu-ray of his werewolf film, they kept wanting to make it brighter and clearer. Thank god he didn't let them, some films were meant to be dark and grainy...unfortunately most directors like him won't fight for their movie like this. So the point to my rant...is blu-ray really worth the money, when in fact the studio may be butchering the director/cinematographer's original vision?

I upgraded to Blu about a month ago and the black friday week sales on Amazon absolutely killed my wallet. The Cyber Monday prices are no different than they were all last week, it's an overblown, made up marketing tactic.
