Amazon’s 10-day promotion on video game deals featuring a new deal each day, ended today (Monday) with a PS3 promotion. A bonus eleventh day has been added that’s particularly interesting to HD DVD because, according to an email Amazon has sent to customers interested in Xbox 360 games and accessories, the extra offer is on the Xbox 360 HD DVD player, and makes it part of a 9-movie deal. Amazon will thrown in The Bourne Trilogy, and the add-on already comes with King Kong in the box. The remaining 5 movies are from the same mail-in offer that applies to the conventional HD DVD players.
Note that December 17 is the last day that Amazon and most online retailers can guarantee delivery by Christmas. If you’re thinking of picking this up as a gift, then definitely put in a few extra bucks for some kind of expedited shipping.

- Previous posting about deals, some of which are still going on
Visiting the page on Monday will bring up the PS3 deal, but visit it on Tuesday for the Xbox deal. By the way, if you’re going to go purple (meaning you support both high-def formats), do it via a PS3 simply because it’s practically infinitely upgradeable to all the various features they come out with as they catch up to many HD DVD features next year, whereas other players are going to be stuck at certain levels of features.
