Stardust was finally put up on Amazon, and it seems to be mispriced at $18.99. It shows a $29.99 MSRP instead of $39.99, so jump on it while you can! The 10% off isn't working on that title yet, so you'll have to email them if you're in on that deal.

Nice! Thanks for the heads up.

It appears the mistake has been fixed; it's back up to $27.95 now:

Hmmm...that's weird. I pre-ordered it a few days ago with this link from HDD:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000WTLDPU/

It appears there are two product pages for this.

The one I linked appears to be the more "valid" page since it has legitimate HD DVD art and such. I wonder if Amazon will pull the other listing.

EDIT: The one I linked doesn't even come up on a search at Amazon. Very strange.

Too bad I missed it. I would've bought it at that price, I won't touch it at the regular price.

Very odd. Here's the link for the $18.99 HD-DVD:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...925343-7079206

When you search for Stardust under "DVD"'s, the above link is the first HD-DVD that comes up. The link that lizard posted doesn't show up until page 3.

It might have been for the DVD edition. Don't be surprised if you end up getting that shipped instead. It may be like what happened back in March with Borat on BD where people pre-ordered and got a UMD.

Well, in the link I just posted, it states that it's the HD-DVD, and shows up as "Stardust HD-DVD" in my account and in the confirmation email *shrug*.

^Strange. It does say "Format: HD DVD", as you say, but under the Product details it says "DVD-video"

My guess is that is just a misprint by Amazon and it is intended to be the SD DVD listing.

You are correct that I had to go to page 3 to find the real HD DVD because the sales numbers aren't very high for the HD DVD thus far. No surprise at $27.95!

Drexl

Well, that's what happened with Borat. It showed up as "Blu-ray" but the price was lower than expected. Sometimes things get mislabled. I was even skeptical of the 5-disc Blade Runner set (without the briefcase and trinkets) for $27.95 but that now looks to be legitimate.

I saw the same thing a month ago with Omega Man preorder for $9.99 so I posted it in the bargain thread. At the time the consensus was that it was SD DVD but there was never a listing for an SD version releasing the same date as the HD-DVD. They eventually just removed that duplicate HD-DVD product page. Not sure what happened to those who tried their luck on that one...

I have a feeling this isn't truly the HD version. My 10 percent discount doesn't work.
