Buy 3 HD DVDs and Get Harry Potter Free

by Pravin on Wednesday, June 25th, 2008 in shopping.

Australian site, ezydvd.com.au is turning up the summer heat with an HD DVD fire sale and promotion. Buy any three HD DVDs from a list of 28, some of which are going for as low as AU$3.92, and get Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix free. At the current exchange rate, 1 Australian dollar is equal to 95 US cents, so these prices are actually pretty good. Yes, you’ll pay a little more to get discs from Australia, but the final price after shipping is still favorable.

If you’d rather shop more locally for your HD DVD bargains, then look no further than DeepDiscount.com whose 20% off sale has been extended to June 29. Buy.com has similar prices, and the deal is sweetened if you can use Google Checkout to save an extra $10 on your first purchase. This Google discount ends at Buy.com on June 29, so go quickly if you still want to use it.

Even more local than a website is a Fry’s Electronics store, if you happen to have one in your area. They’ve been selling many titles for $9.99, and the selection varies according to the inventories at each store.

Lest you forget, $10 and $15 for an HD movie is a very good deal, and if you can get them for less than that, all the better for you.

HD DVDs on Sale at Buy.com

Buy.com is the latest retailer taking advantage of the opportunity created by Amazon’s lack of HD DVD sales and promotions. They’re apparently duplicating the same deals currently offered at DeepDiscount.com, but with no coupon code hassles. Same $9.58 price, but no coupon is needed.

Additionally, Buy.com is one of those “Google Checkout” vendors, which means that you can get $10 off your first order using Google Checkout at Buy.com. Taking advantage of that additional $10 discount should result in even greater savings on your purchase.

DeepDiscount.com 20% off Sale on HD DVDs

by Pravin on Wednesday, June 4th, 2008 in shopping.

Many have taken advantage of the $5.99 sale over at iNetVideo these last couple of weeks, and have noticed that a few of the titles over there are no longer $5.99. A few people have been slightly miffed that the iNetVideo discs are Canadian and come with slightly different covers or cases, or that shipping and handling fees bring up the disc cost closer to $9 each.

As June rolls in, prices on HD DVDs at Amazon have also creeped up a little bit. So what’s the HD DVD shopper to do? (no snide remarks about going Blu, ok?) It’s DeepDiscount.com to the rescue, with their big sale, bringing several HD DVD titles down to $8, $9, $10 and $12 a piece, which is at least two to four bucks less than Amazon, and all with free shipping to boot!

Most Universal and Paramount titles are $11.98, but not all of them. It’s better than no sale at all, especially if you don’t have American Gangster and several others.

The sale was supposed to be from June 6 to June 22, however I got an email from them saying it’s already up.

Here’s the best part: use coupon code DDAF to get 20% off. I have read that some people have not had any luck with that code just yet, but give it a try on June 6 and see if it works any better. That means you can get those $11.98 titles for only $9.58!

I’ve also read that these codes might work: SHARK, WGN, DEALNEWS, USATODAY. Please share in the comments if you come across any other coupon codes.
