Nobody knows. I would not wait though if you want to place an order.

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 think I'll take my chances.
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.

It does work. But it gets much more trickier to get the right combination.

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.

That combo of BD movies would work without any HD DVD titles though.

Right, the cheap asses / bargain hunters like me are going strictly buy 2 get 1 free

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

Thanks, got Bourne Supremacy, Big Lebowski and Pitch Black for $33.91

Couldn't get Mystery Men, Frighteners or Untouchables to work in place of Pitch Black.

This has probably been mentioned, but Bourne Identity only works in a 4 for 3 because the deal is actually 3 for 2

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!

It's definitely B2G1...

Bourne Supremacy, Casino and The Big Lebowski works...

Dunno. Might pull the trigger if I can find a good enough combo.

Just stay very far away from Traffic & The 40-Year-Old Virgin, then pick 3 movies you really want that aren't included in the 5 Free HD DVD deal.

I tried to order Bourne Identity because I saw it in your purchase. It didn't work. Then I noticed that you bought FOUR here ... b/c Bourne Identity doesn't count towards the discount. Oh, I wish it did.

Ditto. Have had the hankering to re-watch this, would be nice to watch in HD.

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