Universal kicks off the month of March with freshly lowered prices, and retailers are busy updating their price lists to pass the savings along.

Universal essentially reduced the list prices of their already released discs by $10, and then you throw in the standard discount from your favorite retailer. This means you can now get American Gangster at Amazon for only $16 instead of $26, and the entire Bourne Trilogy for only $30. In fact, most of Universal’s movies are now only $11.95 at Amazon.

This pricing will show up in some form at all the other merchants, and I’ll update this posting as news about those sales comes in. We’ll start with Amazon first and add to this list as the other retailers chime in. DeepDiscount is included here, but at the time this article was posted, their prices did not yet reflect Universal’s new discounts (compare with Amazon’s pricing). Click-through and see if that has changed by the time you read this.

• Universal discs on sale at Amazon.com (goes to a search results page for ‘Universal’)
• Universal titles on sale at DeepDiscount.com

UPDATE: It looks like Amazon’s pricing has gone up slightly from earlier in the day. American Gangster is now $19 instead of $16. Click through to see whether the lower pricing has returned. The Bourne Trilogy is still $30, however.

UPDATE: Our friends at FormatWarCentral.com are reporting that Best Buy has put their HD DVD discs on sale at 30% off. The online pricing is still a little more than Amazon and DeepDiscount, but it appears that the deals at the stores are more compelling. Read more at FormatWarCentral.com…

UPDATE: March 6 - It looks like Amazon has lowered prices on Beowulf to $20.95 and American Gangster to $17.95 and other titles are a buck or two cheaper as well. Click through to the links above and see if you get the same or lower pricing.
