Washington, D.C. (July 12, 2007) -- Wal-Mart is selling Sony's new Blu-ray High-Definition player (BDP-S300) for $488, a slight discount on its suggested retail of $499.

However, the discount retailer is also bundling two free Blu-ray movies in the box -- Gridiron Gang, starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and the animated Open Season.

Coupled with Sony's offer of five free Blu-ray movies, which can be redeemed via the mail, a high-def owner can get seven free Blu-ray movies by purchasing the Sony player at Wal-Mart.

Wal-Mart says at its web site that the offer is limited and good while supplies last. The $488 price -- and seven free Blu-ray movies --- can be obtained at either the company's web site or at a Wal-Mart retail store.

The retailer also carries the Toshiba HD-A2 HD DVD player but without a discount on its suggested retail of $299.

Toshiba is also giving away five free HD DVDs with every purchase of a HD DVD player. But Wal-Mart is not sweetening the pot with extra discs in the box

If you can get $30 for each blu ray, its a PS3 for $488-210 = $278 + tax on $488....

It doesn't make sense. Why don't people just get a PS3? It's like the same price but with more features. Sure the Blu Ray player is not as good, but it's comparable and more bang for your buck.

Actually the PS3 is supposed to be the best Blu Ray player out there right now

Problem being that this is just for a straight Blu-Ray player and not the PS3.

Obvious knock on the PS3 only being worthwhile as a Blu-Ray player ;)
