Um, a guy posted it's B1G1F...how do we know it's a price mistake?

by 1 get 1 free on all hd dvd and blu ray movies including new releases? Ummm yeah give me a break.

Really? Considering other people mentioned in this thread other companies running other types of BOGO promos?

I thought the retailers finally had a revelation that they were raping us on HD movie costs.

I see, I wasnt accusing just seeing who actually would think there was a legit promotion for by one get one free on any hd dvd or blue ray title.

I dont know why you are being an ass, but you said
"I see, I wasnt accusing just seeing who actually would think there was a legit promotion for by one get one free on any hd dvd or blue ray title."
You are wrong, there have been plenty of places that have had blu-ray titles buy one get one free. Feel free to search and make yourself look stupid.

sorry I meant and not or, well I will look but I will be suprised to find any blu ray and hd dvd title buy one get one free at an establishment.

Im not being an ass just seeing if this really is something people would find as a legitimate deal or is it something that people will know is a mistake such as when websites accidentally mark products 200 dollars cheaper and then people get mad when they correct the mistake.

No one would ever think there would be deals like "buy 2 get 1 free game" on XBOX 360's or PS3's, but Toys R us has them this week.

How long have you been on these forums? People getting all worked up over a price mistake is nothing new around here. They are going to do what they are going to do. Its not worth getting upset over, but I dont think that this sale was that far fetched considering the format wars.

hmm i see, yes I do not own either just a normal dvd player and I was just wondering if this was a deal that was way out of left field that people knew it was made in error and not actually a valid thing but apparently it isnt that far fetched!

If it were true I would have been all over it. Its not thought :(.

I will be picking this up next week for the lowest price I can find on the net. On another note, planet earth just dropped to $50 for hd dvd :D.

again, don't ask the cashiers about it, just have them ring the shit up.

the deal is tied to the system.

i went to CC last night and just had them scan a few titles. the list they post is pointless--b/c ALL BR under $30 seem to be working.

BB is running BOGO for Buena Vista (Disney) titles. So is everywhere else. I bought Reign of Fire and Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy for a grand total of $25 at amazon.com last night.

Fry's is running a $9.99 deal on most Sony titles, but most are also out of stock, however you can still add them to the cart and buy them. Just will take awhile before they ship. However, Fifth Element evaded my attempts to purchase it, seemingly it was the one that didn't want to be placed on backorder.

but with CC, supposedly all titles under $30 can be had for BOGO, or essentially all titles $15.

So I shouldn't show you this 1 5349288 FIFTH ELEMENT (RE-MA /BD 9.99
:)

did you just place the order? it's still not allowing me to add it to the cart. :(

nah, I ordered on friday. Most of them said OOS but still allowed you to add them to the cart and order.

got an email today that my 12 DVD order has finally shipped.
