Great price on the player and it looks like you get 5 free instantly and the usual 5 free by mail.

Looks like a decent deal. Some decent titles to choose from also.

Use your Sony credit card and get a $100 credit on your bill (valid on any Sony HD purchase at $299.99 or above) making it $248 plus 10 free movies. Or even better - if you don't have a Sony credit card I think they have a promo that you get a $100 credit after your first purchase, which could make it $148!

I am now officially format neutral. Just ordered one. With the movies, the cost of the player will come out to less than $100. Which kinda works out to the price point I wanted.....

Where does it state that Sony will give a $100 credit if using the Sony Card?

Thanks.

Yes, please show me where it says $100 off on BD purchases.

They had an ad in entertainment weekly for the $100 off. I'll look it up later.

And the $100 first time buyer credit is only valid on sonystyle.com purchases. Still the 40GB system w/ controller and 6 free movies for $199 would be an excellant deal.

What 40GB system w/controller are you referring to?

The one on sonystyle.com if you could get $200 back from Sony.

Wrong. I signed up about 6 months ago when they had a $150 promotion. Made a $10 purchase at Best Buy and got a bill for minus $140 about a month later.

Wrong. They changed it since then.

Well, just to check I went to their site and it states what yo all say, but a friend of mine signed up just over a month ago and still got it when he made a purchase elsewhere. So, I guess maybe it's YMMV?

Sotra, you have any luck finding that EW ad yet?

which would display dvd movies in better quality and ease of use the PS3 or the dvd player?

Sorry for being late (been away for over a week). Found the ad again in Sound & Vision magazine. It says - Get $100 card credit after purchase of any Sony HD product of $299 or more with the Sony Card - www.sony.com/sonycard/hd
Terms - www.sony.com/sonycard/hd

this offer has been around for awhile.. its not as good as it was a week ago when they were also offering a free second controller.

Just got a Sony cad approved. So if I bought the Sony BDP-S300 from sonystyle.com, I'd get the 5 free mail-in, plus Spiderman3 (apparently a promotion they're running) for 399.99 - 200 = 199.99?

Sorry to kind of change the subject.

I don't think you're getting $200 credit. The terms of the deal say there is one $100 credit per account for the first qualifying purchase only. It seems that you're thinking you'll get the normal $100 credit and then a $100 credit for buying an HD item, but that's not the way I read the offer terms for the offer linked to in a previous post.
