Like I said above, though, in addition to the 5 mail aways I got 5 free movies in store from Best Buy, and I haggled them down to $75 off the list price (armed with printouts from Fry's, Amazon, and Electronic Expo). So for me net price minus the value of the five $34.99 in-store new release movies of my choice (using Amazon's $27.99 pricing for calculations) & after tax was ~$315 from Best Buy. Not a bad deal, and that is why I pulled the trigger on it.
Amazon's BD30 price fluctuates, on average it was ~$409 when I looked, but it dropped under $400 at times. Fry's was $369 but they are sold out ATM:

However the Best Buy deal was actually better than those two deals, because I was able to pick out expensive new releases that I would have bought anyway (like Simpsons Movie for instance) as my 5-free instore movies. So that is what I went for.
