Great for Backup or burning videos to disc

For utility, you still can't beat verbatim discs. The price point is right, and while I do plan to switch to BD-R's at some point, for most PCs, the DVD-R is the way to go.

![Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey [4 Discs] [DVD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/5945/5945188_sa.jpg)
Celebrated astrophysicist Neil Degrasse Tyson hosts Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey, a series that explores the creation and evolution of the universe, and explains man's impact on it. This release contains every episode from the program which was an updating of the original Cosmos which made Carl Sagan a household name.

Verified Purchase:Yes
As a huge fan of Carl Sagan's Cosmos, I was a little skeptical about the Todd McFarlane / Neil DeGrasse Tyson reboot (?) mini-series, but it does a really good job of taking what was so great about the original and including what we've learned since then.
If you're going to buy this and have a Blu-ray player, pick up that one - I bought this for my girlfriend so she could watch it anywhere.

Michael Mann's Hannibal Lecter

Verified Purchase:Yes
I've been on a bit of a Hannibal kick lately (watching the show), and it's been a while since I last watched Manhunter. Maybe not since I saw Red Dragon, the not quite as good version. Scream Factory put together a really nice package here, and Tom Noonan is still the creepiest Tooth Fairy.

The Coen Brothers Do Hollywood (again)
on July 22, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
I must admit I'm confused at the lukewarm response to this movie. I get that Joel and Ethan Coen set a high bar, and this may not be an instant classic (then again, neither was The Big Lebowski, that took several years), but I had a blast with Hail, Caesar! I still chuckle thinking about "would that it 'twere so simple". I've seen them all and this is far from lower shelf Coens. Maybe in time it'll have a reappraisal...

Dumb Action, but I sure had fun.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Full disclosure: I haven't seen Olympus Has Fallen all the way through. It didn't stop me enjoying the nonstop assault on the senses that is London Has Fallen. It manages to ramp up the absurdity, action, vulgarity, and Gerard Bulter-ness over 90 minutes. Turn your brain off and just enjoy. Watch it with Gods of Egypt for added flavor.

Pays for itself in the long run

Verified Purchase:Yes
The nice thing about having PSPlus is that it works across platforms, so you have access to any of the free games / discounts available. Sometimes the games aren't my cup of tea, but more often than not I find at least one deal or freebie that makes the service worth having. The PS4 has the added benefit of letting you add the game to your library, so you can download it later. Even after they've rolled over to the next month's deal.

Looks great on a PS4

Verified Purchase:Yes
I hadn't played The Last of Us in a while, and hadn't played the DLC at all, so it made sense to pick the remastered edition up and see how it looks on the PS4. The answer is that the game is still fantastic and it looks better than I thought it would. Pick it up if you already love the game, and if you haven't played it, buy it asap.

![Gods of Egypt [Blu-ray] [2016]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/5088/5088900_sa.jpg)
Posted by: CapnHowdy

Verified Purchase:Yes
Taken on its own terms, Gods of Egypt is a pretty terrible movie. The effects are sub-Syfy Channel level, the acting is "EVERYONE YELLING ALL THE TIME" and everything about the film is silly. Like, "gods are 12 foot tall and can turn into robots who bleed gold" silly. The fight between Set (Gerard Butler) and Ra (Geoffrey Rush) must be seen to be believed - if you saw it by itself online, you'd think it was a joke. Fortunately, Gods of Egypt seems to be unaware of how terrible it is, which makes it worth watching, jaw agape. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll wonder why somebody thought this movie was a good idea.

![Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World [Blu-ray] [2003]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/7175/7175244_sa.jpg)
Posted by: CapnHowdy

Verified Purchase:Yes
Master and Commander never really caught on with audiences - maybe it was the unwieldy title, or the fact that it sold itself as an action film - but even after a decade and change, it still holds up. The film is ripe for rediscovery, so don't let the fact that it's hanging out in the "bargain" bin dissuade you from picking it up.

![The Man with No Name Trilogy [3 Discs] [Blu-ray]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/8228/8228058_sa.jpg)
This three pack for fans of Clint Eastwood features all three movies from the Man with No Name trilogy, A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

Verified Purchase:Yes
At this point, you can actually get The Man With No Name trilogy for less than buying the discs individually, and it turned out that this set has the restored The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. Most of the time, anyway. If you get it and disc three is a different color, you've got the newer version of the film, which is improved from the older disc.

for this regular bundle do u get the real disc or just downloadable junk
There's a disc inside of the case - not just a code. You can take it anywhere and play it on any PS4.
