And this is ends up being a better deal than my $160 (after $40 off $200 coupon) with 2 free $60 worth of titles deal back in July at CC.

Still not enough to get me to commit to the format.

ok idk if i'm just dumb or what but i can't get amazon to give me 2 free movies. i put the hddvd player in my shopping cart along with we were soldiers and the perfect sotrm and go to check out and it says the only thing i save is $7 on shipping (free). but it still makes me pay for both movies. anyone help....?

Will the HD-DVD drive work well with my xbox 360 since i use the VGA hookups? I have a 40 inch Samsung HDTV.

Reply

yes, the VGA hookups will work. If you have an HDMI or VGA connection your HDDVD player will upscale your regular DVD's to 1080i.

1080p and 1080i dont really make much of a difference if your TV/Monitor is not bigger then 46 inches (and even then the difference is slight).

@15: Good question. I just tried it and got one of the movies for free, but not both...

I'd order it, then send an email to Amazon and they'll correct the price for you. Or call them, that'd work too. There's some weird things going on with the sale not working in some instances (ie: if a title is out of stock, Amazon has to manually intervene). You can always cancel if they don't change the price for you (but they will).

Ok so I just bought the deal. 179.99 tax and shipping out the door. Yes the 2 two movies are free but I'm confirming that the 2 for 1 special is valid on this sale make sure that you add the third movie as it wil be all discounted when you get to checkout. I've been on the fence about BD and HD DVD, this deal I couldn't pass up, 9 movies for free. thats like $200 worth of free movies. Lets see what HD DVD sales are like next month.

Any way to get this to work from Canada?

Hmm I put the order thru (and followed the directions) and the discount didn't get applied. Looks like I need to call customer service... %@$%@^$@$^

Sounds like a pretty sweet deal. Does the HD-DVD player for the 360 also upscale regular old DVDs?

This sux. I did it, and even the free 3rd DVD worked, but I picked the free shipping and it said my estimated delivery date was Sept 20-28. So I changed it to the normal shipping, and it took away my 1 extra free HD-DVD; it's charging me for it again. BLOWS.

Well...I was able to get the nine movies

1) Added the XBox Drive w/ King Kong(1)
2) Go to http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/102-3494158-8919354ie=UTF8&plgroup=1&docId=1000122571
and I added 300(2), TMNT(3), The Departed(4) and when I checked out it charged me a total of 216 or so...I went ahead and did the order and then called Amazon and after some looking the rep said yes the third would be free and made it so...
3) I will complete the Form for the 5 Free:
Apollo13(5)
Dukes of Hazard(6)
Four Brothers(7)
Blazing Saddles (8)
Perfect Storm or U571 (9)

You can also apply this deal to the ps3.I got the three movies plus the 8 movies offer and the ps3 for $470.66 with no tax and free shipping.As a massive 360 fan I'm shocked I did it,but at this price it was time.Plus warhawk is the first game sony has put out i've wanted.

you can get a deal like this for a ps3 and 8 bluray movies for $475 at amazon also.

If i get a hi def 22 inch LCD, will i notice the difference on that if i get the HDdvd add-on?

I figured out that the only way for a Canadian to get in on this deal is to buy the deal through the amazon.com not .ca and have a friend you trust in the us to ship it to. Then just get your friend to ship it to you. It'll cost a lil more when it comes to shipping and you'll likely have to do the same for the sending away for the 5 extra dvds but it gets the job done if you really like the deal.

... I was thinking of getting PS3 for some games and Blue-ray (yes, I already have a 360 AND I LOVE IT), and I wasn't going to buy HD-DVD coz it just seemed lame and dying. But with this offer I don't really care if it will die tonight. :D That's a hell of a movies for movie collection. PS3 and MGS4 can wait. :p 360 ftw!

whether hddvd will win or not, since i heard that 360's hddvd add on is the worst at playing hddvd's anyway, y don't you guys just buy a stand alone. seems logical since there are stand alones that cost about as much as 360's shitty add on. no? yes?

Well I tried this today and went all the way to confirmation page. The items showed being in stock but no discount appeared so I take it this offer must no longer be valid in regards to the free DVD from Amazon so you might as well just buy it from your local store.
