I jumped on the A3 + 3 free instantly deal as well. Here's what I got:
- 300 and Bourne Identity (in box)
- Transformers, Knocked Up, and Troy: Director's Cut (instantly)
- The Italian Job, The Thing, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The Frighteners, Darkman (5 free mail-ins)
So in one weeked I go from being on the fence about HD to buying a player, getting 5 movies right then, and 5 more on the way. Cannot beat that!

Just picked up the A2 last week (LOVE IT!!), and although I told myself I would NOT double-dip on titles I already own, that's all I've been able to do because of the selection. So in less than a week, I'm already up to 10 titles.
Brokeback Mountain
Corpse Bride
Batman Begins
Dreamgirls
Phantom of the Opera
Transformers
Flags of Our Fathers
King Kong
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Mission Impossible 3
Shrek 3 will be my first not-previously-owned title. At this rate, not only am I feeding my *new* addiction, but I'm doing my part to help HD-DVD earn a victory this upcoming holiday season.

I was sitting about 12' away but normal viewing distance would be a couple more feet. At the time, the TV was pulled away from the wall to connect the player.

He said composite when he meant component.
