Not entirely. "The World's Fastest Indian" is on HD-DVD also, as it was released by format-neutral Magnolia.

How do you get the extra 10% at Amazon on HD-DVDs?

You had to have signed up last year. 3 discs at once or a player purchased.

My copy of District B13 went out yesterday at $19.95. Someone at AVS posted this so I going to try and find this rebate section.

Yup...I just ordered Kingdom of Heaven and Tears of the Sun last week at a higher price. Submitted a rebate request via the amazon.com web site, and was very quickly notified that a credit will be made back to my card for the difference.

Amazon will price match 30 days from the release date. I made a big order in January with the AMEX promo and some were pre-orders released in Feb.

I called this morning and ended up with a credit of $51.46 back.

I e-mailed them about it and they wrote back saying they'd credit 5 bucks back to me.

Yep, which sucks. It was supposed to be on for another week, but I guess they felt like they sold enough stock.

I ended up cancelling all of my BD orders during the sale. Most were simply not movies I wanted to own and the money was better spent at the DVD Planet Criterion sale.

Amazon has the XA2 for $599 now. Also, its $569 + $25 shipping if you use a third party seller.

Not bad at all!

http://www.amazon.com/o/ASIN/B000M6X...770910-2965636

Couple that with the 5 free titles and its a great deal!

Hey, I need some help. I got in on the HDDISC10 promo in January. Amazon never sent a confirmation for future discounts and now they claim that the offer wasn't valid after 12/31/06, even though I did receive the discount at the time.

Does anybody here who used that code in January of 2007 get the 10% off discount on HD-DVD purchases? I'd really like to know if they're ripping me off or if they're telling the truth.

Feast (Weinstein HD-DVD) is $15.99 at frys.com. Shipping kinda kills it, though, unless you buy something else.

Possible deal for someone looking to get a PS3 or XBox 360 w/HD-DVD add-on from Speedy's Best Buy thread for April 1-7:

"GAMERS: Get a Free $50 Gift Card Instantly with the purchase of either a XBOX 360 Pro System ($399.99) or a Playstation 3 60 GB Game system ($599.99) AND $150 in video or PC games / accessories // Game system and $150 in games / accessories must be purchased on the same receipt in order to receive the $50 Gift Card"

Looks like the PS3 + an extra controller + a couple of games should qualify you for the deal or an XBox + the HD-DVD add-on.

Heads up for anybody with a Coconuts close by. Found a whole lot of used Blu-Ray and HD-DVD at decent prices tonight. Picked up a couple of titles, along with a used CD. The cashier informed me that with purchase of four used items, you get 20% off your total used purchase. Grabbed another disc. Totals after discount:

The Departed (HD-DVD) - $20.77
V For Vendetta (HD-DVD) - $12.80
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back - (Blu-Ray) - $12.80

I think the best deal I saw was the Superman Returns HD-DVD combo disc for $18.99, before discount.

This chain is owned by the same company as FYE, so the sale may be going on there as well.

For Birmingham, AL area folks, this was the Summit location.
