Where can you buy DVD box sets before Black Friday 2026?
Black Friday 2026 falls on 27 November and Cyber Monday on 30 November, so a box set bought today has 87 days to be beaten. This page exists to make that comparison possible: it records what US affiliate advertisers were asking for DVD and Blu-ray box sets on 1 September 2026, so that in November you can check the November price against a real September one instead of against a claim.
The scale first. One advertiser, Gruv, carries 785 of the physical-media rows in this pull, 359 of them box sets, at a median ask of $17.99. DVD sets run a median of $14.99 and Blu-ray sets $20.99.

Prices are asks as published on 1 September 2026, not sale prices. We publish the price and its date and never a percentage off: five advertisers in this pull mark down 100% of their catalogue permanently, which makes a discount figure meaningless.
The September baseline, by format
| Format | Listings | Median ask 1 Sep 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| DVD | 491 | $14.99 |
| Blu-ray | 294 | $20.99 |
| Box sets, both formats | 359 | $17.99 |
| Everything in the catalogue | 785 | $15.99 |
Write those four numbers down. The useful Black Friday question is not whether a set is discounted in November, it is whether the November price beats $17.99 for the same kind of object. Forty-eight percent of this catalogue already asks under $15 on 1 September, which is a level a lot of Black Friday film advertising does not reach.
What to buy now and what to wait on
- Buy now: anything already under $10. That is close to the floor for a licensed multi-disc set and there is little room under it.
- Wait: Blu-ray box sets and 4K reissues. These carry the highest medians in the catalogue and they are the format retailers discount hardest in November.
- Watch the stock flag rather than the price on one-of-one and time-limited stock. In this pull the advertisers who honestly flag out-of-stock rows are the ones whose stock actually runs out.
Last verified 1 September 2026, computed from 785 physical-media rows including 359 box sets from a single US advertiser's affiliate catalogue. Price figures are computed from a CJ Affiliate product-feed pull of US advertisers made on 1 September 2026. Peer-to-peer marketplace asks of $500 or more are excluded as seller placeholders, as are repdigit asks such as $999 and $9,999 wherever they appear; retailer prices are used as published. Counts are deduplicated row counts, never a feed totalCount.
