I'm trying *really* hard to economize here. Still with the BR deal going kaput (before I could order Live of Brian, no less :( ), I figured I HAD to get something in this deal. With the 10% off discount, got Reds and Letters from Iwo Jima (the HD-DVD, not the combo disc that cost $4 more) for $19 shipped. I swear, sad as it sounds, the high-def 10% discount that came with the PS3 purchase might acutally pay for itself...

I ordered six of the $19.95 disks and used my Amazon Visa card to boot to get an additional $5 off. Hopefully Amazon will switch out some of the titles before long, the way they did with the BD BOGO.

I went here and searched the HD DVDs but I think the selection could be better. I still got Lady in the Water and Lethal Weapon though.

You sure those are included in the BB B1G1F deal? I thought there was a limited list...

Ended up getting Unforgiven and Casino. Thought long and hard about putting in a second order but just couldn't pick up another one besides Backdraft. Hopefully they add more titles and have something I want. I wonder if other sites will start doing the same with HD-DVDs.

Did you pay for shipping?

Nope. The order qualifies for free shipping prior to the discount. It doesn't matter that it's less than $25 after the discount. Crazy, but true.

My first order from this morning already shipped. Considering I just did the free super saver shipping, I am very surprised!

PGHFlyer 12-12-07 06:21 AM

Nice to see them having it, but I will wait until Sunday to see if they match Best Buy and add some better titles.

Pizza 12-12-07 06:58 AM

I went with "Superman Returns" and his trusty sidekick, "Cinderella Man." Thanks OP.

They are definitely all on the limited list.

Here's to hoping Amazon PMs BB's titles next week. :fc:

gorgo99 12-12-07 01:31 PM

Looks like some titles changed.... Constantine is on there now, wasn't before.

TGM 12-12-07 01:47 PM

Can't think of when I'd ever want to see Deliverance in high definition. (((shudder)))

Good catch. The Searchers and Rio Bravo are up too. I noticed Casino and 12 Monkeys are both gone.

PGHFlyer 12-12-07 01:53 PM

Some are still "on the list" but just don't apply correctly for the discount either. For example, I finally figured out that Phantom Of the Opera doesn't work with any of the other titles even thought it is in the list.

You're right. I tried to get "The Searchers" and the discount would not apply.

hotwls13 12-12-07 06:06 PM

They have definitely trimmed the list (and maybe added a couple). There were 78 titles before, now only 58. I was hoping they would match Best Buys deal and save me the trip plus the tax. :)

thejester 12-12-07 07:25 PM

I recommend trying a "missing" title - if you want it. I was wanting Backdraft & didn't see it listed earlier today on the pages. I added it to my cart plus one from the list (SII: Donner Cut) and it applied the discount for Backdraft.

So, if it's no longer on the list but still "In Stock", give it a try.

Abe. 12-12-07 07:46 PM

Dang, why do they keep changing the lists?

IDrinkMolson 12-12-07 08:10 PM

As far as I can tell, here's what's missing from the original list. Although, it was at 58 and changed to 55 while viewing. There were more that they added at one point.

12 Monkeys
Animal House
Assault on Precinct 13
Backdraft
Casino
Cinderella Man
Corpse Bride
Flags of Our Fathers
Friday Night Lights
Happy Gilmore
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
Liar Liar
Nacho Libre
Polar Express
Ray
Seabiscuit
Superman Returns
The Bone Collector
The Deer Hunter
The Departed
The Fast and the Furious
The Game
The Good Shepherd
The Jerk
U-571
Waterworld

Here's what's been added:
The Phantom of the Opera
The Searchers
Rio Bravo
