I went with Shaun of the Dead and the Big Lebowski, only adding in Blood Diamond as a random choice to make the deal work. Didn't want anything else from the applicable titles, so I'll just exchange Diamond somewhere for a movie I do want.

I found 2 more (shaun of the dead, and Mall Rats), that I am interested in, but cannot come up with a 3rd.

I think I might sign up for the $5 Netflix plan and just check out all these HD flix on the cheap and when they get cheaper, pull the trigger on the ones I really want.

Here is one that worked for a guy over at AVS:
Heroes Season 1 HD DVD
Bourne Identity HD DVD
Dragonheart HD DVD
Vacancy BD
Ghost Rider BD
Fifth Element Remastered BD
The Patriot BD
and it gave me the 10%, the tv guide 5% off, and a promo of $19.95 for the cheapest movie. Total was $159.99.

This deal is extra-awesome with the 10% HD discount if you have that since it takes 10% off of the free item too

This could be it...........my first HD DVD purchase(s) (pre-player!!!)
Can someone recommend 3 titles with superior transfers where there is a big upgrade from the SD version? I've read there are some sloppy early ports from SD to HD and I'd like to avoid those.
Thanks!

Folks are saying you can mix and match blu-ray but it didn't work when I tried it (Bourne, Lebowski and Terminator BD).
