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.

Boy, I bet the person who stole it was very disappointed after realizing it was HD-DVD and not Blu-Ray! LOL
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...

Check out your local Craigslist.org listings for an inexpensive HD-DVD player. I've seen many listed for less than $50. Often the machines are in perfect shape and the seller has just converted over to the Blu-ray format.

Oooh, that Battlestar Galactica deal looks almost too good to pass up...

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

That's a great $5 movie. Typical Will Ferrell acting like a retard but that's what makes him so funny. Christina Applegate is looking good in this movie too.

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...

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.

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.

Try posting a wanted to buy craigslist ad. I haven't seen many players posted lately so I tried a wanted ad, ended up getting several people who hadn't bothered with posting an ad yet. You're bound to get some jerks quoting ebay prices but give it time, make it easy on the seller and hopefully they give you a price that's easy on you.

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.

Re: $5.99 HD DVD titles

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.

Re: $5.99 HD DVD titles

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.

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.
