I was going to say this isn't that great of a sale, but it's actually cheaper than what I spend at DVD Planet/DD during the 20% off sale.

Yeah, it comes out to about 33% off if you buy titles of the same price. The Combo HD DVDs should be avoided. Way too much, unless a person really needs the title now. They could be found for much less later on this year.

Cool. For those of us that have the 10% off, it discounts that BEFORE taking off the free title.

Eg with Combos

HD1 - $27.95
HD2 - $27.95
HD3 - $27.95

10% off - - $8.39
Free title off - -$27.95

Total to pay - $47.51

Seems the Best of HD-DVD might be a good deal. It comes out to $9.83 per movie. Already own Last Samurai and have Swordfish on the way (hopefully) so not worth it for me.

Also, it's strange that Lethal Weapon 2 is on the list but not the original...

Especially if you have the extra 10% discount.

set1 - $58.95
set2 - $58.95
set3 -$58.95

10% Discount - $17.69
One Free - $58.95

Total Payable - $100.21


That's $8.35 a disc.

Also, be sure to read the reviews on the titles you want on at least two websites, including DVD Talk of course. There are some titles which will not be worth the upgrade.

I wish they would put on the NON-combo DVDs of some of these titles, such as Good Night, and Good Luck; Ant Bully. Sigh.

Well I managed to find three on the list.

Definitely wanted Land of the Dead. Figured I'd get Fast Times At Ridgemont High as I don't own the DVD, and went with We Were Soldiers to round it out.

41.11 shipped 2 Day.

Well, I tried to order 2 separate orders, one with Fear and Loathing, Red Dragon, and Sky Captain. The other with the three HD DVD sets. The discount never applied at the confirmation screen. I even tried with an alternative shipping address... It still won't work. I have an Amazon Prime membership... I wonder if that has anything to do with it.

Over a year ago, Amazon offered a promo that if you bought a player, or bought 3 HDDVDs at the same time, you'd get 10% off all HD purchases for a year. Then they extended it for another year.

The promo to get in on the deal has long since expired, however.

A shipping cost of almost $14 kills this deal for any potentially interested Canadians.

Got Serenity, Children of Men, Scanner Darkly.

Cheaper than it would be at DD.com 20% off.

I wish they wouldn't do that Combo Disc thing, people would wanted the SD version could get them easily for under $10.

Don't know on the rest, but IIRC The Bourne Supremacy used to be $19.95 and now it's $23.95...

Damn.

There's actually not a single title there I'm interested in. I went hog wild when they had their last B2G3 sale, and when CC had their one-day BOGO screw-up.

Thanks.

Got Superman, A Christmas Story, & The Cowboys.

Was considering The Warriors, Last Samurai, X-mas Vacation, Coming to America, Excaliber & Hustle and Flow but just can't seem to pull the trigger on those.
