You're right. I guess I didn't have the right titles. I chose Darkman, Mystery Men, and Wolf Creek, and it didn't work. So I thought it was blu-ray only.

Bought:

Pitch Black
Fast and the Furious
T3

That's because one of the four titles you're picking is not a part of the sale.

I think it may be a fluke, but if you order the toshiba player with the 3 free movie deal it combines the 2 deals. So you can buy the player get the discount for the full price of the 3 movies and then have it take off the price for the cheapest movie again. My order total came out to be $218.93 for the Toshiba A2, the 40yr Old Virgin, Batman Begins, and The Departed ($306.73 total - $67.85 discount - $19.95 discount. The wife may end up killing me, but that deal was too much to pass up.

Thanks Derb. I actually jumped in about 2 weeks ago when I bought a PS3 (wife agreed to that purchase, she got shoes), but now I'm format neutal.

It's no fluke, it's the real deal. It also works on the PS3 (hint, hint, PH! ! I sold my 20gb awhile back and have just been waiting for a deal to buy the 60gb and this is it!

I just put my order through for a 60gb PS3 and chose Pirates 1 and 2 and Night at the Museum as my 3 titles. Altogether it came to $468 shipped!

I also placed an order for HD-DVD's, with the total coming out around $49 shipped:

Shaun of the Dead

Dawn of the Dead - 2004

40 yr. Old Virgin

Meet the Parents

I plan on making one more 3 for 2 BD purchase later this week after I get paid and that should be it for awhile.

Damn it! It looks like the 3 for 2 is over. I just went to put in my last order and there's no deduction for the freebee's. I went through my order last night to find out how much it was and it was $80+. Now it's $118 for the same order.

I think Amazon made a killing on this sale...from both sides. I'm glad I took advantage when I could. Got 9 bd titles, and 6 hd-dvd titles. Average price was about $14.

Nothing too exciting in the list that I don't already have. Wish Sony would include some of their newer releases.

I don't think it is. There was a link to the sale on the PS3 page and it's no longer there, so I'm guessing it's done.

First three episodes of Planet Earth (the US version) for only $11.95 + $3.25 S&H. It's available in both formats.
http://pedvd.com/Default.asp?bhcp=1
If you're just looking for cheap demo material it's probably not a bad deal over spending the money for the whole set. I'm not big on demo material for the sake of demo material though so I'll probably pass.

It's sales like this that makes me wish that I had a Fry's in my area. For $9.99, I'd bite on Bram Stoker's Dracula. I would also pick up Top Gun. I could order them online but their shipping charges are insane.
