samsung is not sold out, it appears to be taken off of the promotion

kenbenobi

It was sold out when I posted that earlier, and it was still on the offer page. They have since completely removed the Samsung from the offer, but have added 3 Sony models in its place:
Sony BDP-S300 for 239.48
Sony BDP-S550 for 329.99
Sony BDP-S350 for 253.99
The PS3 and all of the movies are back in stock, and there might be a few new ones. Obviously none of these are as good of a deal as the Samsung was, which is a darn shame...

Gizmo

$329 for the 550 and 4 movies...damn. Tempting.

kenbenobi

Actually it will be cheaper. $100 is knocked off, no matter what movies you select. So if you take 4 cheaper movies, you could actually pay $300 total.

I had the Samsung in my cart yesterday. I tried the code and it's definitely no longer a part of the promotion. I wanted the Samsung over any of the Sony players because you supposedly don't have to upgrade the Samsung with every new release. BD shot themselves in the foot with having to upgrade continuously. BTW they are all the same exact titles. I didn't see a single new one. I was going to wait to see if more titles were added since I wasn't crazy about waht they offered. I think I'll wait for a $100 player. Yes, I may wait a little while but I already have a HTPC with a BD.

Gizmo

They keep dropping the price...the S350 is now $219. Keep hoping the S550 drops to $299....

Gizmo

The coupon "AMAZONBD" does not seem to be working with my S550...

It works for me but and I am also waiting for the S550 to drop under $300.

The S350 is back up to $224.00

The PS3 is no longer listed as part of the sale. Thanks, Sony.

Shoot. We snooze, we loose I guess. Slightly OT, but has anyone seen any similarly compelling deals yet on the PS3?

thursdaynighter

Yeah, darn it...maybe the PS3 will be back.

fumanstan

It was there for a couple weeks. There really wouldn't be anyone to blame but yourself if you were looking to take advantage of it.

paaron46

had a feeling they'd take the PS3 off, it was too good of a deal. I'm glad I jumped on it when i did.

hindolio

i read sony is hurting for $. ill guess that we see another great deal on the ps3 before christmas

Pizza

OK. I blame myself. Sorry, Sony.
(I was just trying to report that the PS3 fell off the list and being funny about it in a sarcastic sort of way. I have no interest in the PS3 so I'm not hitting myself for missing a deal.)

With that, I do find the panasonic mildly tempting. Still, the titles (for me) are fair at best. Besides switching players, hopefully Amazon will change or add titles otherwise I'll never bite on this. Good for those who wanted and did take advantage.

thursdaynighter

Well, the sale ended. Originally it said it would last through the end of the year and now it says the sale ended 11/10. That sucks.

kenbenobi

Yeah, I noticed that last Friday. I looked for this thread, but didn't see it. That was kinda bull of them. I was going to buy a player, too. Now I gotta wait and see if any other good deals come along. The BF deals are less than impressive, except for the WM $128 player, but that isn't Profile 2.0. When this deal first went up, I shoulda jumped on it. There were some good players to choose from...

Gizmo

The Sony deal is still going on though I think.

conehead433

I would have bought a Panasonic DMP-BD55K but having to pay ~$20 each for 4 Blu-ray movies killed the deal for me. I'll continue to rent BDs. I guess I'm spoiled since I have multiple HD DVD players and have been buying titles for cheap. And the same titles don't look any better on Blu.

thursdaynighter

Which Sony deal are you talking about?

conehead433

I think the deal is dead if you click on the OP's link in the first post.

kenbenobi

I think he means the deal where you buy a Sony player plus 2 BD's, you get 2 free BD's. Not nearly as good of a deal...

Ordered the Panny BD-55 and 4 Blu-rays just before this sale ended. The 4 Blu-ray movies arrived today. Just got shipping notification that the Panny BD-55 shipped out today Fed-X 2nd Day Air.

Sold off my Panny BD-30 a few months ago and sold my LG BH200 last week. I never took it out of the box. Also got a call from LG this morning about getting a $75 check from them in a few weeks.

Gizmo

Sent LG 6 e-mails and nothing from them regarding the rebate. Did you contact them in any way?
