CAGiversary!
This will happen when they release their third generation HD DVD players on 10/1/07. Like you guys know the cheapest will be the A3 at $299.99. The HD DVD player will come with the movie 300 and The Bourne Identity two really good movies in my opinion. Also Toshiba will offer a new mail in rebate offer that runs from 10/1/07 through 2/28/08. Hopefully they will put good movies on the list.

They can promise 100 free dvd's... but will they ever deliver? I have been waiting for my 5 FREE dvd's since the end of May. I received a post card stating that they are all out of stock and -should ship- by September 15th.


The format will be dead before I get my 5 free discs...

I got a similar postcard. I recevied my movies on Tuesday.
 
I just sent my package/letter today from the amazon xbox 360 hd-dvd deal... hopefully since the movies are now back in stock i get them relatively quickly :p

Wonder if i should have waited to try to get in on the newer 15 movie deal... oh well, too late now i suppose
 
Any good deals on this player? I was considering waiting to see if the A2 would drop, but if I can get a good enough deal on an A3, I'll wait for it.
 
i think lowering the prices of the movies would be a better way to get people to care. release new movies at $20 and catalog titles at $15 and have a good $200 player that does 1080p and you win the format war pretty easily.

If you feel that way about HD DVD, you don't deserve free discs.

Best regular 'DVD' player I have ever had. I can't believe how nice my old DVD's look and how perfectly it plays all of my DVDR's... I really like it.

I only have component inputs on my TV so I can't experience HD the way the other people here are...
 
Wow, still no 1080p with this player....I was intrigued, but I'll keep my 360 add-on for now. Still two good pack-in movies....not your typical throw away stuff.

I believe that he is referring to the fact that they're introducing 15 new movies that you can choose from for your mail-in-rebate.
 
List of the 15 available HD DVD's for the new promotion starting October 1st.:
