Yep, but like you said, it's rare for HD-DVDs to show up in the gold box for me. It's usually crappy CDs from bands that their system matches to my purchases, or a freaking Prada purse that shows up EVERY DAY, that I have never searched for. Every HD-DVD I don't own is in my wish list, now I'm pissed I didn't pick up Blazing Saddles for $17.

I also forgot to mention that I saw a slot for Pitch Black on HD-DVD at Walmart yesterday for 19.99. They didn't have any in stock, but it's a pretty good B&M price if you can find it, a couple bucks cheaper than I paid on Amazon.

Sucks....my amazon order for paramount titles hasnt shipped and neither has my Equilibrium from yesasia....i was hoping to get some discs to watch for this weekend!!
Oh well, I havent finished Pitch Black or started Chronicles of Riddick yet....ill just watch those.
BTW - I lucked out from amazon. When I preordered the paramount titles, they werent coming up with the discount....I emailed customer service about it. So, they emailed back and said that the discount didnt apply to those titles and they gave me a $5 credit towards my next purchase. THEN, the discount was available, so I cancelled my order and preordered again with the discount. Cha Ching.

I stopped by Best Buy yesterday to use my $5 reward zone cert. They had 4 copies of Tomb Raider, 1 copy of Sky Captain, and 1 copy of Sleepy Hollow, priced at a low $29.99. I thought about getting Sleepy Hollow because I want it now, but I'd still be paying about $6 more, so I put it back and will wait on Amazon's slow ass. I did notice on the back of the cover that the teaser and theatrical trailer are in HD.

Amazon.com has lowered the list price on some of the earlier Universal HD releases. Pitch Black, Apollo 13, Serenity and others now list at $29.98 and are sold for $19.95. I think it's time to get Pitch Black.
I think these were scheduled to drop very soon.

Sleepy Hollow is currently $14.99 on Amazon; however, Sahara, Tomb Raider, and Sky Captain have ballooned to $29.99. I'm not sure I understand.
