Babel Blu Ray for $4.50 shipped
http://www.gameznflix.com/default.as...il&id=11591385
This is such a great deal, I thought it deserved its own thread. Gameznflix has this listed for $0.00 plus $4.50 shipping. Apparently someone over at AVS has already received their copy. Placed mine tonight.

Well, unlikely to make it through late in the game (others have already got a copy shipped), but I took a shot at it.
Thanks, I have not been over at AVS for a while.

Placed the order as well. Definitely a mess up on their part. I'm sure a bunch of people will be receiving emails shortly with cancellations of their orders.
Thanks though

So all those of us that only bought one for ourselves and are not greedy and trying to blow the deal for everyone are not "real." I mean really, I bet that the majority of us only ordered one copy.
Oh, and I hope they flag yours and cancel it since your were trying to completely abuse it.

I wouldn't care if they cancel mine, because I already have the HD DVD. And I wouldn't say buying 4 copies would "blow the deal for everyone," because that price has been there for days from what I understand and I doubt I'm the only person that bought more than one. They are most likely out of stock anyway and all our orders will probably be canceled.

Anything that is mispriced floods eBay from people like you. Luckily the price falls and most of them don't make much if any money. I ordered one copy to watch. If I had already owned it, I may or may not have fooled with it. If I had already owned it, it would most likely be HD-DVD so I might have ordered to do a head to head comparison and sold one off or traded it.

I would be careful ordering large amounts of DVDs for free, they could ask for them back.

But enjoy your $60 profit, I hope none of them sell and you're stuck explaining to your buddies why you needed 5 copies of Babel on two different formats. It would have been nice if they asked for your ID before you purchased 4 copies of an R rated film. Enjoy your cash.
