Adding to our list of ever expanding Xbox 360 HD DVD player deals we've got one nice offer coming straight out of Amazon.com. Right now, you can pick up the Xbox 360 HD DVD player with the included King Kong HD DVD (1), five more HD DVDs with The Perfect Offer (2, 3, 4, 5, 6) and Amazon.com will throw in two extra HD DVDs of your choice (7, 8)! That's a total of eight movies for free with a $179 HD DVD player purchase! Not only is that all fine and dandy, but you'll also receive free shipping and a tax-less order. It just might be time to buckle and give in, eight movies and a HD DVD player for $179 is nice ... really nice.Update 1: We've heard from a few people that Amazon.com offers a buy two, get one free on HD DVD movie purchases. So, try adding a third HD DVD into your cart and see if you get it free thus making this a nine free movie offer. Anyone try this successfully?

This is an amazing deal considering you'd spend $200+ on the HD-DVDs alone. I think I'm going to buy this up.

It's been widely noted that you can combine this with Amazon's buy 2/get 1 deal on select HD-DVDs to actually make it 9 free movies.

What's the status on the black HD-DVD drive? I don't want the accessories to clash with my new Elite now, do I?

y'know Canadians haven't had any good deals on this HD-DVD player at all. I think they best I've seen so far is a free copy of 300 at Best Buy. This is a joke, c'mon MS. We have HDTVs in Canada, y'know.

Sold! I've been hesitant on committing to a format but this deal is too good to pass up. 300 in complete HD glory FTW!!

@9: Yes, it's definitely worth it. If your TV takes a 1080i signal, your picture will look the same as if it took 1080p. There's really no difference. Without getting into too much detail, 1080i will send two frames to the TV, which will put them together to give you a 1080p picture.
I only have a 720p projector, and the picture is STUNNING -- I can only imagine how good it'd look at 1080i :(
As was noted, you can get an extra free movie if you want as well. Or, for around $211, you can get a standalone player if you don't want the add-on. Check out this link:

HD DVD isn't going anywhere and they're gaining a lot of steam. Rumors are swirling that Warner will soon become HD DVD exclusive and that Lionsgate will become neutral (ie: Blu-Ray and HD DVD). Worst case scenario, both formats live for a very long time.

I tried this with no success. I added the player, 300, and the last samurai to my cart. There was no discount applied. Any ideas?

This format war is going to last atleast another couple of years.
People just recently started adopting DVD's and HD cable. You'd be amazed to see how many people still use VCR's.

@15 you need to get to the last screen before the discount is applied. Total should be 179.99 plus tax
regarding the 9th movie it will work, but it has to be from the HD DVD list linked to the 360. Those are the only movies that are part of the buy 2 get 1 free deal
i haven't purchased yet, because I have no money, but maybe it will still be going on when I have the funds

To see the discounts you have to check out and go all the way to the confirmation page.
The buy 2 get 1 free works but its a bit YMMV... combos dont work as well as non combos (but paying an extra $10 to get combo titles instead... its hard to complain too much about that).
