HD DVD Bargains!

I hope they have improved.

Yeah, Warner had some problems. They apparently changed processing / distributing companies in August and didn't ship for 3 weeks in Aug./early Sept, which resulted in a big backlog for processing orders. I ended canceling an order for Sept. 18 & 25 releases. But, I saw posts that orders were being shipped fairly quickly now, so a week & a half ago I decided to "test" them by pre-ordering Blade Runner & Pan's Labyrinth December releases, and threw in Viva Las Vegas to get the total over $50 for free shipping. I placed the order over the weekend and Elvis showed up on my doorstep the following Friday.

Their website it very Firefox-unfriendly. Is there some alternate link that might list their titles? I can't even see what they've got for sale.

I use Firefox, and also use the Flashblock add-in to block all the Flash advertisements unless I really want to see them by clicking the "F" icon blocking them. The link I gave was for their "high bandwidth" portal. You need to click the "Browse Titles" to navigate alphabetically by title. Here's a link the their "low bandwidth" portal, but it's still very "flash happy".

I might give them a try for HP5, since it is still not up for preorder on Amazon.

Amazon just started a Buy Two HD DVDs and get the Third one Free sale. Really big selection - I didn't count 'em all, the first page says "displaying 1-28 of 104 results".

Good way to build up you collection.

Good deal. Thanks. I'm not too much into buying because there just aren't too many movies that have a lot of replay potential for me. However, I think I might be able to find three from this sale's selection (not your typical titles): Christmas Vacation, The Breakfast Club, and The Wild Bunch. Other titles in this sale are certainly very good and would be considered "better movies", but if I'm going to buy it then it has to have replay possibilities and not be good for just one showing. Unfortunately few movies really work out to have much of that for me, but the three above are maybes. Thanks!

Any word on a coupon code for Warner for December?

They need to get more creative. The code for November - NVBM- was in a "Happy birthday" email they sent me. So, I'm thinking "No Vember Birthday Month" . . . . hmmm, I wonder if December could be "De Cember Birthday Month"?

DCBM it is - I tried it and it works.

He really is. I hope whoever is writing codes at Warner doesn't moonlight at NORAD.

Toys R Us has the Xbox 360 HD DVD add on for $129 with free shipping. Amazon had it too, but now it is back up to $179. This is a great deal for anyone looking to get into HD DVD on the cheap.

This drive is said to work with a PC also.

You can probably find an A2 or A3 around the same price, and aren't there features the Xbox Add-on doesn't do (not to mention those of us who would never buy an Xbox for any reason )? I don't remember for sure, I just thought I read that somewhere..... I'll try to find something a little more solid and post it.

 

[diogen]

...aren't there features the Xbox Add-on doesn't do...

If you believe Joe, it doesn't do high resolution audio.
If you attach it to an HTPC - it does everything (it's just a drive, for Pete's sake!)

Fair enough. Maybe I was thinking that it doesn't do certain features when used (as designed) with a 360.

Wasn't there something about the internet features, too? Or am I really imagining that part?

The 360 will re-encode audio into DD, DTS or WMA Pro.
