Buy an HD DVD Player, Get 7 Free HD DVDs

by Pravin on September 18th, 2007 in shopping.

After a brief hiatus from HD DVD offers, Amazon is at it again. I’m not sure if this offer will last one day, a few days or what, but if you’re even remotely interested, then I’d suggest you add the items to your shopping cart and complete the transaction fast. Their last offer was supposed to run until September 23, but it actually stopped after only a single day.

Here’s the deal:

  • Buy an HD DVD player, either the HD-A2, HD-A20, or HD-XA2
  • Select two movies from the list that’s presented here
  • The other five movies are part of the standard “5 Free Movies” deal that runs until October 31, 2007

This is actually pretty similar to a Toshiba offer that will apply to the new third-generation players when they debut in just over a week. In that offer, you’ll get 300 and The Bourne Identity right in the box, and then select 5 more movies from a list. The difference here is that you can actually select your movies (which happens to include 300 and The Bourne Identity).

Like I said, if you’ve been remotely considering making a player purchase, then jump on this deal right away. The last time they did something like this, it disappeared almost immediately.

By the way, there’s a similar offer on the Xbox 360 HD DVD Add-on Player, except that you only get to pick one free movie. The second movie is King Kong which is already included with the player anyway, and you also get the same “5 Free Movies” as with the Toshiba HD DVD players.
