Firesales Still In Progress
by Pravin on June 1st, 2010 in shopping.
UPDATE June 11: HDDVD.com readers get a 25% discount through June 21 (Father’s Day) by entering promotional code blog at checkout. Josh has updated the selections now that The Big Lebowski has sold out.
Yup, there are still fire sales going on of HD DVD titles. News of the latest one comes by way of reader Josh R. who has around 1,000 discs left of 15 titles, all selling for around $2 a piece, with the Heroes box set going for $5.
The selection is not bad, and by that, I mean it doesn’t contain Norbit. Not that Norbit is particularly bad, but I’m sure most of you will agree with me that it was not one of the titles that compelled you to go HD.
I’m sure many of you are already accustomed by now to shipping that competes with the price of the disc. It reminds me of my cable orders from Monoprice – sometimes I only need a 69 cent adapter, but I’ll pile on more cables in order to justify shipping cost. Shipping here is $2 on the first disc, and $1 on each additional. If you can pick up the order yourself in Houston, Texas, then shipping is free, and your savings will really kick in.
Head over to http://www.hddvd.highwire.com to see for yourself.

Just picked up everything on the list except doom and In Good COmpany

Movies based on video games usually don’t turn out so great. I was expecting Doom to be pretty bad, but it was better than I thought. Much better. Because it actually exceeded my rather low expectations, I walked out thinking it was a good movie.
Interesting logic along the lines of, “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.”

RE: UPDATE
I tried checking out using the promo code and it only showed up as a 10% total discount. Can you confirm that it should be 25% off the entire order? Thanks.

Hello blog readers. I apologize about the error with the discount code today. The error has been corrected and you will receive 25% of your total (excluding shipping). Many of you have already taken advantage of the Fathers Day sale. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us (info on site).
Thanks!

Can i still download a hd dvd firmware update?

Probably not, but someone might have an ISO that you can burn which has an update on it. If nobody responds here, I’m sure there’s likely to be an HD DVD owner or two over at the High-Def Digest or AVS Forum who can send you a link to download from.
