many titles 19.95 are buy 2 get 1 free
(aka 3/$40)

examples include

Goodfellas
Casino
Serenity
Shaun of the Dead
Batman Begins
40 Year old Virgin
Mummy 1
Eternal Sunshine...
The Big Lebowski
300
Pitch Black
...

you gotta play with them in your cart a bit... but it's worth it...

Killin me man - just killin me.

Good thing I don't budget - all this would bury it and force me to reconsider.  But as it is, I'll be checking them out tonight, check card in hand  8)

I do not see the buy 2 get 1 free stuff  [sm_dontknow]

its not an advertised sale
add 3 movies (hd-dvd) to your cart  (no 1clicks)

go through the checkout process to the next to last step (the one before verifying your CC info)

if the 3 you selected all qualify, you'll see the price is updated to $40 instead of $60
(assuming thye were all $20 titleS)


there's a lot of trial/error effort involved...  people on AVS have been playing with it all day
not every movie qualifies, and some combinations of qualified movies don't seem to work. LOL


to see how it works .. try these titles
goodfellas
casino
mummy 1

that combo has worked repeatedly for many people.  if it shows up for you - you'll understand the process and can start toying around with 3movie combos you are interested in and see if they qualify.

from my order confirm email (as proof i'm not making this up)

300
40 Year Old Virgin

...on the way.

filling out the b's in your library huh ?

just read some people got it to stack onto the buy player get 2 movies free immediately  [sm_shock]

hda20, 3 movies instantly free, and the toshiba 5free for $300+ shipping.  [sm_shock] [sm_shock] [sm_shock]

looks like the paramount announcement, and this free amazon dealy is already having a big surge for hd-dvd


if they go combo format only on day/date new releases (transformers, etc)  with the new sub $200 player at xmas....  sony is officially dead.

ugh, almost tempted to do the 360addon  for a 2nd player  $180, 8 free movies (just get some double copies of stuff I already have and sell em on ebay... making the addon nearly free!)

You guys are making me jealous.

I'm hoping to HD-up in the fall.  Depends how bad these property tax increases hit me.  I have some raw land that they just decided is worth four times what it was last year. 

Have I mentioned how I feel about property taxes?  [sm_angry8]

Anyway, hopefully I'll be on here asking a bunch of stupid questions about what to buy.   ;)

if you buy  a player now (while they're on this great sale) you'll have no reason not buy buy a tv on black friday  [sm_shock]  ;)


*fiddlesticks* off nowadays property taxes

I have yet to see exactly how badly Davis County is going to ding me (I'm sure they sent me a notice that I failed to read) but I doubt it's going to be pretty. Another money grab by the liberals in charge.

 :o

Davis Co. was bad enough.  They bumped my house by $50K although I'm contesting it.  We have a recent appraisal and that's almost 100% certain to be accepted.

The raw land is in Weber Co.  Granted, we've been paying taxes on undervalued assessments but they literally quadrupled the value of the land in one year.  Unreal.

Our property taxes (assessment values anyway) in MO went up under a 'conservative' money grab  [sm_shock].  Seems money is money to all  [sm_devil]

I guess the subtlety of my joke was lost on anyone who doesn't live here. Davis County is a lot of things, but "liberal" it ain't.

bye bye blowray

despite currently having a 5-6x edge in players in households,  blowray has averaged only a 2x sales edge this year (and a 1.5x edge cumulatively since release)
pretty consistently shown by amazon all year as well

http://www.hdgamedb.com/amazon/history.aspx?TYPE=10&SPAN=7
the big toshiba/ xbox add on sale  shows that bluray owners simply don't buy as many movies, even when they are on a great sale.  hopefully the br exclusive studios are paying attention.
 8)  attach rate does matter!
