How is Last Samurai? I love the film, but I know it was a very early HD release.

I think it looks great, very film-like. It's been over a year since I watched it, but IIRC, the sound is lower than on HD DVDs that followed... but it's just a matter of turning the volume up.

I think it's all 3 at 2, but you have a "non qualifying" title in your cart, which makes it 4 at 3.

Remove the non-qualifier and I bet the discount still applies.

The Warriors (The Ultimate Director's Cut) hd-dvd works if you use with any other 3 HD-DVDs that work (Buy 3 Get 1 Free Offer)

I ordered The Warriors (The Ultimate Director's Cut), Tim Burton's Corpse Bride, The Adventures of Robin Hood, & Charlie & the Chocolate Factory for $51.87.

Has anyone had any luck with pre-orders (Blade Runner, Kubrick titles)?

So what you mean to say is that The Warriors doesn't work.

Goes back to over a year ago when amazon was offering 10% discount pm High Def titles for a year (then they extended it to 2 years) when buying a player or 3 movies at once from them.

The ability to join up for that promo is long gone, though.
