Don't really care about the book case. It's the price that counts

Thanks for catching that.

Me too, but I notice the 10% discount is not applied to my order. Anyone else?

This is according to HiDef Digest:
Universal Says No to 'Jason Bourne Collection' HD DVD
That 'Jason Bourne Collection' HD DVD box set we wrote about a few months back? Universal says it's a no-go, but there is good news for fans hoping to pick up the Bourne trilogy on high-def.
As we first reported back in September, Universal had originally planned to issue an HD DVD box set containing all three Bourne flicks concurrent with its December 11 release of 'The Bourne Ultimatum.'
Since then, the studio has released full details for a standard DVD edition of 'The Jason Bourne Collection,' but we've not heard a peep regarding that high-def counterpart. The title has also been conspicuously absent from online retailer lists, with no major outlets offering an HD DVD version for pre-order.
With some prompting from a few 'Bourne' fans in our forums area, we contacted Universal for the scoop, and they confirmed what many had come to suspect -- the 'Jason Bourne Collection' is now an DVD-only release, and there are no current plans for an HD DVD version.
The studio was quick to point out that high-def fans won't actually be missing out on any new content. The DVD version of the 'Jason Bourne Collection' is set to include a bonus fourth disc containing three featurettes -- "The Ludlum Identity," "The Ludlum Supremacy" and "The Ludlum Ultimatum" -- but all three features were already included on the stand-alone HD DVD version of 'The Bourne Identity' (released back in July).
And although Universal may have scraped plans for the HD DVD box set, Amazon has stepped into the void, exclusively offering a three disc bundle that includes all three Bourne flicks for the low price of $49.95 (a savings of over $20 compared to buying each title at Amazon individually). Amazon's bundle is expected to ship on the same day as 'The Bourne Ultimatum,' December 11, 2007.

Yeah, this is one of the few HD DVD deals out there right now. It's frustrating to see one Bluray sale after another being posted, with virtually none to be found for HD DVD. The player was inexpensive, which is why I hopped on the hi-def train, but it worries me because the price of the software is not going to help HD DVD suceed this holiday season -- we need some sales!

Bourne Trilogy Free With Xbox 360 HD DVD Player @ Amazon
LINK
the web giant is giving away all three Bourne flicks on HD DVD with purchase of the Xbox 360 HD DVD player.
Combined with the 'King Kong' HD DVD that comes in the box and five additional free HD DVD discs by mail, that's a total of nine free discs included with purchase of the Xbox add-on, a value that roughly matches the $179 pricetag of the player itself.
Amazon says this deal is being offered today only while supplies last, so interested parties had best jump on this one asap.
