Re: $5.99 HD DVD titles
I hate having both of my HD DVD players stolen because I would have jumped on this deal to replace most of the 19 HD DVDs I had stolen, but now that I'm also faced with having to try and find a HD DVD player in good shape, I'm just in that gray zone of paralysis when it comes to buying cheap HD DVDs.

Sorry for your loss. I bought an extra from woot.com recently. Maybe they will do it again so you can get a new player for cheap...

Any recommendations? Is the HDDVD Battlestar S1 a good set? I've never seen the show before, but I've heard many good things.

Re: $5.99 HD DVD titles
the BSGalactica HD DVD set is like $12.99 at Amazon. It's worth that for sure to at least watch once. There's some really cool stuff in the show and some really annoying stuff too, but for that cheap you can't go wrong. If given a choice I'd go with Heroes first (also $12.99)
These $5 deals are killing me, I actually ordered Anchorman for crap sakes

Actually, I like this movie more for the other characters, like Paul Rudd and Steve Carrell. LOTS of great cameos, too. One of my favorite Will Ferrell movies, but not necessarily because of Will...

Re: $5.99 HD DVD titles
Found someone selling a HD-A1 for $100 but decided to pass.
Found one more selling a A3 with Blades of Glory, Bourne Identity, U2 Rattle and HUM, 300, Batman Begins, Troy, Harry Potter (combo), Bourne Ultimatum, Knocked Up and Evan Almighty, and Shooter for $100. Problem is I have all the hd-dvds movies already except one of them. He will not sale just the player and Bourne Ultimatum.

Re: $5.99 HD DVD titles
I've been looking for a 2nd hd-dvd player as a back up on craigslists. I found a couple but the person who was selling a A2 for $75 has now changed his mine. He was selling it with the only 5 hd-dvd movies he had.

As for the cheap HD-DVDs.... Good lord I have purchased way more then I thought I would. If they drop again I'm in real trouble
Edit: Oh yeah! Aim high with your ad, may as well get a XA2 or A35 if you can.

I only bought titles that I wanted that were eligible for Free Super Saver Shipping. I went with Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas, American Me and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. All were about $5/each. Awesome.

Re: $5.99 HD DVD titles
FYI, there's a woot off going on today, so it's possible that they will have a HD-DVD player again, last time they were 44.99 +$5 shipping, and included 2 random movies.
Also FYI, you may want to pop some of these into the player to make sure they aren't defective. Of the latest batch that I got, Seabiscuit stopped after about a 1/2 hour(too bad, it looks great). Also found out that they aren't doing exchanges, you have to reorder.

Looks like a 12 volt battery saver, or something like that... I don't think they sell the HD-DVD player too often...

Re: $5.99 HD DVD titles
The way the woot-off works is that the item keeps changing, so it's not one deal a day like it usually is. Once the battery charger sells out, then something different shows up. The problem is, you have no idea if or when an hd dvd player will show up, iirc, they were offered in the last 2(because I ordered them both times, ha).
In the Wiki of this SD thread, there are a lot of links for apps that people have written that monitor Woot, that way you don't have to keep hitting F5.
Also, there's a lot of other electronics crap offered, including the infamous Bag of Crap, ha. Also in the Wiki of that link is a list of the items offered so far and their prices--no HD DVD player yet.

Re: $5.99 HD DVD titles
I went back to Inetvideo and picked up about 8-9 $3.99 HD DVDs, and padded it with a few $4.99 HD DVD titles to get to the $49 free shipping level.

You have to order titles you don't even want to get free shipping, their shipping is so expensive you'd end up paying for 3 extra titles anyway.

Decided to place another order. If I'm not careful, there could be a 3rd!
Friday Night Lights
2 Fast 2 Furious
We Were Soldiers
Miami Vice
Bourne Identity
Really glad I got the LG BD/HD-DVD Combo drive for my PC!

Re: $5.99 HD DVD titles
Nice to be able to find a dozen movies I want that can get free shipping from Amazon. iNetVideo never had more than a few titles and never close enough getting $49 for the free shipping. Picked up:
* Army of Darkness
* Monty Python's The Meaning of Life
* Cinderella Man
* Cat People
* Reds
* The Warriors
* Tremors
* Lost in Translation
* Coming to America
* The Pianist
* 12 Monkeys
* The Big Lebowski
$60 all in. Nice.
