So I am in "wait and see" mode as to how well all this works.
I'll be interested to see if your price match is successful.

Either way, it's still cheaper and faster than Amazon.
Edit: well...it doesn't work. they said it can't be combined with a coupon. Oh well. It was worth a shot. Still cheaper than Amazon.

Thanks for the buy.com tip. Amazon has not bothered to ship my Batman or Fast Times yet, so I went ahead and cancelled there and re-ordered. The HD-DVDs are just over $20, so if you add a CD or something for $10 or so you can basically get the $10 item for free. I was able to get 2 CDs I wanted for a couple dollars more than my amazon.com pre-order.

I like the free 2 day shipping, but I think I can just bundle some titles and get free ground shipping.
Alot of my preorders are coming from dvdplanet anyways since I have alot of credit there.

Im just about to spend $130 on a monster power center and $500 on ISF calibration! I cant spend anymore!

You remember the talk in the Bargains forum about this Google/Buy.com deal not working on pre-orders? Wasn't true for Batman Begins HD DVD, so I hope that I might get a chance on the Superman HD DVDs if they get listed before the deal goes away.

ALL of my buy.com orders have shipped separately. You'd think with free shipping, they'd care but apparently, no. They'll definitely be getting more of my money. I never really used them before this.

My local Target was in the process of clearing a section for BD/HD DVD today. I had gotten Batman last week from this same one. Picked up Fast and the Furious 1 for $19.99. The guy scanned the tag barcode and went to the back for it. He said it was the only copy. They didn't have titles out yet as they were still realigning the dvds. I'm gonna stop by tonight and see if they have everything set up. If Target can keep a good stock of these titles and share similar pricing as Amazon and Walmart, ie $5 less than Best Buy, then I'll be buying most of my HD product there.
