I was just about to post this. I ordered 300, Full Metal Jacket(deluxe edition), The Shining and Goodfellas. Less than $40 and free shipping. Can't beat that.

Can't help you out Dugpa, I'm tapped out. Is there really anything on there that you don't have? Eyeballing Devil Wears Prada or Entrapment?

I already have Devil Wears Prada and happen to get a kick out of that film thank you very much. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and Edward Scissorhands were the two I'd get from the sale if I had any cash.

I got the first four Hairy Twatter films.

A little off this topic, but how long has it taken people in the past to get there 5 free movies from buying a BRD player?

I bought mine aorund Nov. 2, so 8 weeks now, and have heard nothing.
My receipt doesnt even let me look it up on Best Buys rebate center.

I bought my PS3 in September and just got my movies TODAY. Those fuckers take quite a long time. Be patient. They'll probably get to you by March or so.

Amazon.co.uk HD DVD 3 for 2 sale

there are about 100 titles in the sale... not too bad

[Mikado]

I went to Toys R Us and used two Disney coupons with their BOGO sale with absolutely no problem at all. I picked up Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and Cars. With tax and all it came to $17.30! Cheaper than dvd.

Amazon's got a new Blu-Ray sale. Up to 53% on select titles. They've currenly got 9 pages, but I hear it started at 10 so it looks like they're removing titles every so often.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.htm...=bluraynews-20

I just bought my first few Blu-Ray titles... Total Recall, A Few Good Men and The Lives of Others. I don't even have a Blu-Ray player yet, but it was a good deal.

Yeah, it looks like I'm going to spend another buttload of money getting some cheaper discs. I looked through the hd-dvd side, and maybe I will pick up Happy Gilmore. The rest I either own or am not interested in.

[Pirate]

I want at least 10 titles in that sale. I'm gonna be so poor.

I know, it's quite disturbing sometimes.

So where abouts do you send your winnings (if you do win) Since it's only open to US residents ?

Once I signed in, I just entered in my canadian address & it accepted it.

I'm sure it accepted it, but if they drew your name it'd be thrown out since you're not in the US.
Did you guys bother to read the fine print? They value this price at $3,000. That means if you win, you owe the IRS taxes on $3,000. No thanks, I don't have a spare $1k lying around to spend on hd discs and players, no matter how good a value is it.

[Toefur]

Yeah that part kind of sucks. Largely because you can't pick your own movies or player, that's up to Amazon. With my luck most of the movies would be ones I already have, and I'd be stuck with a tax bill.

Oh well, still signed up anyway.

[Derb]

Well I read the fine print & didn't see US resident's ONLY anywhere.

Oh well. If I win, thats just 100 discs for me to give away for free too.

1. Eligibility. The Amazon.com 2008 Blu-ray Giveaway Sweepstakes (the "Sweepstakes") is open to legal residents of the 50 United States and the District of Columbia, except residents of New York, who have reached the age of the majority in their state of residence at time of entry.

Oh well i did fill in my forms just for the hell of it anyways.

It's not in the fine print. It's #1 in the official rules.

And if it's the HD DVD one you win you might end up paying more in taxes than the stuff is actually worth.
