Our Fave Blu-rays & DVDs: $18 Die Hard Collection, $12 Breaking Bad Seasons

Published

This week, as you're surrounded by relatives that you only see once a year, you may find yourself feeling a little less than thankful for your family. Remind yourself that it could be so, so much worse with these five Editors' Choice Blu-ray and DVD deals. Step into the troubled shoes of drug dealer Walter White for $12, escape into the wacky hijinks of the Griffins for just $10, or give thanks that you aren't John McClane when you grab the Die Hard series for under $20. Hey, worst case scenario, you can always throw on one of these shows to keep everyone quiet!

  1. Breaking Bad Season 1 on Blu-ray Disc
    Store: Best Buy
    Price: $11.99 with in-store pickup
    Lowest By: $2

    Is It Worth It?: Tired of the family hypochondriac hijacking the dinner conversation to discuss their latest inconclusive MRI? Pop in Breaking Bad Season One, and you'll instantly be thankful they haven't turned to dealing meth. Best Buy has the Blu-ray for $12, which is $2 less than we could find for any season of this show elsewhere.

    If one season isn't enough to make you thankful for your family's health problems, then pick up Breaking Bad Season 2, 3, 4, and 5 for $11.99 each; that's best price we've seen for most of these TV seasons.

  2. Saturday Night Live DVD Sale
    Store: iNetVideo
    Price: $3 with $2.50 s&h
    Lowest By: $2

    Is It Worth It?: Perhaps your Thanksgiving table is filled with "funny" people. Whether it's whoopee cushions on the chairs or novelty glasses on the turkey, spending time with these clowns can be exasperating. Beat them at their own game by playing SNL DVDs in the background of your supper. iNetVideo takes up to 79% off a selection of DVDs featuring skits from Saturday Night Live's best: Chris Farley, Dana Carvey, Adam Sandler, Tom Hanks, Chris Rock, and more.

  3. Family Guy Volume 10 3-Disc DVD Box Set
    Store: GoHastings
    Price: $9.99 with 96 cents s&h

    Is It Worth It?: Perhaps you face a different sort of Thanksgiving horror: the perfectly normal family. If your relatives just walked off the cover of the Saturday Evening Post, count your blessings and grab this Family Guy DVD box set for $10. A $6 savings, this set full of the wild, rude adventures of the Griffins should shock you out of any desire to be adopted into a wackier family.

    Still not convinced? GoHastings also has the Family Guy Volume 11 3-Disc DVD Box Set for $9.99. You'll save $9 on this second dose of cartoon crazy.

  4. Gossip Girl: The Complete Sixth and Final Season on DVD
    Store: Amazon
    Price: $8 with free shipping via Prime

    Is It Worth It?: Will your in-laws be bringing a heavy dose of snobbery with a side of drama? Don't give in to your snarky urges; just grab the sixth season of Gossip Girl for $8. You'll save $14, and the first world problems of Serena, Blair, and the gang will show you what it really looks like when someone lets the drama llama out of the barn.

  5. Die Hard 25th Anniversary Collection on Blu-ray Disc
    Store: Best Buy
    Price: $17.99 with in-store pickup
    Lowest By: $2

    Is It Worth It?: This Thanksgiving, if your family is driving you crazy, emulate John McClane. You may have to sit through all four of the films included with this Blu-ray set, but eventually you'll feel like you could walk on glass, land a bunch of planes, defeat a bomber, or crash a police car into a helicopter for your relatives. Most merchants charge $40 for this explosion-filled lesson in familial bonding, but you can grab the set for $18.
