Sweet Amazon.com deal!

Crossposted from Avsforum.com...

Just saw at Amazon...

If you purchase any player from them (HD DVD or BluRay), HDTV or 3 discs at once you get an additional 10% off all HD and BR software for a year from purchase...

it's a great deal. I just hope they get Unforgiven and Full Metal Jacket up soon so I can take advantage.

Apparently people that have already ordered more than 3 are getting the deal.

I'm definitely going to let a few stack up and do it. That's seriously awesome of them.

this is a great deal. I placed my order for Apollo 13, Swordfish and Training Day for a total of 58.02 shipped. I was at Best Buy today and noticed if I bought them there it would have cost me almost 85.00 with tax.

Wow, taht's pretty sweet. Wish I had the cash to take advantage of this, but I need to scrape up for the player first I may go with the Xbox360 add-on though, if I can get my hands on one, but then I lose on this deal

At this point, they're making announcements on a week to week basis. Supposedly the end of this month and all of next will see Warner ramping up their releases. I'm sure this might have something to do with BR supposedly/finally/possibly launching.

It'd be nice if they actually UPDATED the movies they have for sale. I couldn't even find Unforgiven or FMJ the last time I looked. I'd love to take advantage of this but...

Just search for Full Metal Jacket in "dvd" and it will turn up on the first page. It's $20.29 I think. They finally got them in stock. Says ships in 1-2 days. Unforgiven still says "we'll email you when this title is available"

eww. you weren't supposed to use it for BR.

Just search for Full Metal Jacket in "dvd" and it will turn up on the first page. It's $20.29 I think. They finally got them in stock. Says ships in 1-2 days. Unforgiven still says "we'll email you when this title is available"
Yeah, just saw that. Hope they don't do this with The Fugitive.

I hate that we're only getting announcements the week before. I'd like to be able to plan out my spending. On the other hand, it's kinda nice to be able to have something surprising to look forward to every week.

Depends on what you call "a BR player." I don't consider the PS3 one. That's a "supposedly-poor-man's BR."

Geez. That's great pricing, and really, that's the price point I think catalog titles like that should be hitting online. There's a premium over DVD, but it's awfully modest.

But that's the studio setting it. Obviously Sony isn't pricing their films that cheaply.
