Sale @ Amazon - 360 HD DVD player & PS3 offers (B2G1 dead)

[quote name='Pookymeister']Which is what i saw and stopped myself from going the route zman went :D[/QUOTE]


I have a good 1080p tv which Ill use with this for now (I notice no difference in quality between the 1080i hd dvds on the 360 and the 1080p of the ps3 br's because my tv does a good job upconverting to 1080p with everything) , eventually picking up a generation 3 player and putting this one with my 1080i tv
 
Got Premonition, Eragon, and The Usual Suspects for $44.21. Can't beat that.

Edit: Ok, also got Curse of the Golden Flower, Phantom of the Opera, and A Scanner Darkly for $33.91. Damn, I have a feeling I might just do a third order...

Edit: Ok, Bullitt, Open Season, and Purple Rain for $35.71. Damn I'm glad I saw that first post...
 
Add CASABLANCA to qualifying HD-DVD titles. Also tried DAWN OF THE DEAD, which comes out today, but that didn't work.

This is freakin' awesome. Ordered Pitch Black, Robin Hood and Casablanca on HD-DVD, and the two POTC and Casino Royale on Blu-ray, all of them roughly $13 each : )
 
Hmm, im trying to order the A2 with TMNT, Fountain & The Transporter (all BR) and its showing as $303. I'm only getting a discount for one of the BR's rather than the BR's and the A2 discount.
 
Last night when before I left for work I got 300, Casino Royale and the Departed for Blu-Ray at about $50. This morning when I got home this HD-DVD drive deal was going on so I picked that 300, The Departed and TMNT up for $179. (I'll just trade the Blu-Rays copies.) This site does not like me going more than a week with out spending any money I swear.

So my question is, what are the five free movies I should pick up from the rebate form? Baring in mind that I hate Vin Diesel. I've seen almost none of the movies on the list.

Probably because you'd probably only get free HD-dvds with an hd-dvd player

Id pick up Casablanca if I didnt already have it, Seabiscuit is supposed to look really good on hd... from there it gets tough for me to pick out anything

I dont think you cant Mix and Match you would have to buy all BR or HD-DVD. We are talking about the Toshiba A2 HD-DVD player right?
 
I really want this....if I had the 10% off with Amazon, I would bite, but I'm on a spending "freeze" right now, as I just had to replace a furnace and A/C unit. I guess I will just keep renting....too bad Blockbuster.com can suck my balls with their wait lists.
 
[quote name='guyver2077']remember the a2 maxes at 1080i[/QUOTE]

Yes, but if you have a good tv that deinterlaces the 1080i signal, it doesnt matter does it?

Sky Captain looks wonderful on regular DVD so I imagine that it's wonderful on HD. I sent away for it a few weeks ago and I can't wait. I've also seen a demo of the Rundown (which is an awesome action movie) and that looks wonderful too.

It depends on if you're looking for movie quality or HD quality. If you are just looking for a good movie, check out the reviews for the films at rottentomatoes.com, knowing that some opinions will differ (I myself have seen Casablanca three times and don't like it every time). If you are looking for quality, check out the reviews for the movies on http://www.highdefdigest.com/

I hate Vin Diesel too but am tempted with Riddick because I hear it looks wonderful.
 
Too good to pass up, even though I have a huge bill this month already:

1st order:
Kingdom of Heaven
Casino Royale
300

2nd order:
Pirates 1&2
X-Men 3

Finally have some blu-rays to watch. I'm a dual supporter but don't see 3 titles on the HD-DVD lists I want.
 
I might be grabbing a 80gig PS3 tonight, so I might as well see what I can snag for BR's too. Thanks OP.


*edit* although Im a litte confused. Is there a list of BR discs that I can get 3 for free when I buy a PS3? Is it the same as the A2 HD-DVD list?

*edit 2* sweet jesus, I added the first 2 pirates and 5th element and the ps3 to my cart and went to checkout for the price, drops from 600 just for the ps3 to 585$ with the 3 BR movies. This is amazing, i hope its still working when i get home tonight!


*edit 3 lol* I have 80gig PS3, 300, TMNT, and Reservoir Dogs sitting in my cart for when I get home. Grand total: 608$ with next day shipping! I hope this deal doesnt pop any time soon.
 
I'm thinking Apollo 13, Casablanca, Sky Captain (maybe) Rundown, and The Perfect Storm for my five freebies. I want a mix of movie quality and video quality. I ended up picking up Troy, Blood Diamond, and Shaun of the Dead (all on HD DVD) as well.

I sure hope Cheapy's getting a cut of all this. This thread alone will be putting his kid through college. Or buying him a large supply of cucumber pepsi at the very least.

Do they have the 60GIG? I would save $100 and get that instead. 20GIG HDD space & lackluster Motorstorm is not worth $100.
 
[quote name='kjauburn']Anyone jumping on this deal remember to hook cheapy up and buy through the cag affiliate links...[/quote]

Looks like the A2 is back in stock so I might be pulling the trigger on this deal. How do I give Cheapy some deserved credit?
 
[quote name='Prock']i just tried the deal with the xbox 360 hd dvd player with the movies the departed, 300 and the fountain. it came out to 179.99.

Items: $263.84
Shipping & Handling: $7.46
Super Saver Discount: -$7.46
Promotion Applied: -$55.90
Promotion Applied: -$27.95

Total Before Tax: $179.99
Estimated Tax: $0.00
Order Total: $179.99

edit: This is probably the best deal for the xbox 360 hd dvd player since you will get king kong (i believe), 3 free movies from amazon, and 5 from the mir offer.
Giving you a total of 9 free hd dvd movies.[/quote]

That deal is sick! Wish I shoulda waited but...I'm happy with all my HD DVD's.
 
[quote name='metallicoholic']Looks like the A2 is back in stock so I might be pulling the trigger on this deal. How do I give Cheapy some deserved credit?[/quote]

Just click on the link in the OP. Cheapy should get his credit by doing that.
 
This deal finally made me jump on the HD-DVD bandwagon.

Picked up the Toshiba A2 with Letters from Iwo Jima, The Fountain, and 300 for $210.93.

Also picked up Batman Begins, V for Vendetta, and A Scanner Darkly for $39.90.

Awesome!
 
I love how on the page that says buy 2 Blu Ray get 1 free, they have a listing for the Prestige on DVD...
 
I hate myself for spending all this money, but I finally pulled the trigger and got a 60gb PS3, Ghost Rider, Rocky Balboa, and X3 Blu Rays for 506 with 2 day shipping. With this and my other 2 orders, I have officially blown my entire paycheck 2 days before it arrives. Woohoo
 
[quote name='Deefuzz']I love how on the page that says buy 2 Blu Ray get 1 free, they have a listing for the Prestige on DVD...[/quote]

I sent them an e-mail about this, telling them that Prestige on blu-ray didn't work even though I'm sure it's what they intended, but they sent me some sort of incoherent response; doesn't look like they've fixed the problem either.

Heh, go figure.

Well as someone else who is interested in it, I thank you for trying :)
 
[quote name='Deefuzz']Heh, go figure.

Well thanks for trying though :)[/quote]

I'll probably send them another e-mail tonight after class, I've been wanting a deal on this movie on BD for quite a while.

Bah, I pulled the trigger before I read this. Oh well, PS3, 300, Reservoir Dogs, TMNT should be here tomorrow.
 
I've been on the fence with the 360 addon and this deal finally made me cave in. Picked up the addon, 300, Serenity and V for Vendetta for a total of $187.99. For some reason, mine ended up an extra eight bucks I assume since 300 costs more but I'm not complaining with a deal this good. King Kong, those three and then 5 more in the mail in offer. I feel like I'm basically getting the drive for free.

[quote name='blk00civicsi']HD-A2 and HD-A20 OOS for the Moment[/QUOTE]
A20 seems to be back...A2 appears to be OOS but if you go through the main Amazon page and search it it comes up as in stock through a different retailer.

If someone is after the A2 just check back several times during the day, it was OOS yesterday for a brief period but then came back. I'm sure they are moving as many of these as they can.
