HD DVDs: as low as $5 at Amazon (eligible for free budget shipping)

[mshan]

Just saw this on another website and seems like a good deal for anyone with an HD DVD player that wants more titles: http://www.amazon.com/s/qid=12...7JFWUPSYRTJ&rh=&page=1

Army of Darkness in HD for 5 bucks? Un-pass-up-able! Some other good titles in there also, thanks OP!

 

[ric1287]

nice, 5 movies i already have on DVD re-purchased

 

[jlee]

Nice! The last time I saw something like this, most didn't have free shipping.

Thanks! Hard to pass up these deals. I only have an Xbox 360 HD DVD unit, but might have to pick up a dedicated Toshiba player so I can get lossless sound with HD DVDs - I have it on blu ray and find it really helps.

Just an FYI, some of these older movies or budget transfers don't look much better than their DVDs. They're certainly higher resolution but you just see more noise and the low quality transfer more clearly. The main benefit I found (from Netflix rentals mainly) was support for higher quality audio, but many only support standard AC-3. Still, a good price considering they're definitely better than the DVD counterparts for the same price.

Nice! Normally I get charged tax ordering from Amazon (being from the Seattle area) but not this time. This is sold through BSE Entertainment.

Free shipping + no tax + low price = Win for consumer

 

[maximusfarticus]

Just picked up Dawn of the Dead, Flags of Our Fathers, Army of Darkness and Battlestar Gallactica. $27.

Very true, but this is one of the cases where HD version is better than DVD despite the film's age. I own Boomstick Edition DVD and have 1080p rip, and 1080p is a much much better transfer compared to DVD.

Hells yeah, especially for the combo discs.

Awesome deal. This will round out my reference library quite nicely.

Great deal!

FYI on the "Payback - Straight Up - Director's Cut." The ending is fucking lame. IIRC, they switched the male bad guy boss for a female and the entire ending is different. It was so fucking gay I blocked it from my memory. I really wouldn't bother buying this version in HD-DVD because the plot sucks so bad now.

I dont know, PAYBACK is one of my favorite movies and I liked the StraightUp cut. Its not so "flashy". I would say the version seen in the theater would be better, but the new cut is a nice look at what might have been. Great movie! Side note: Watch the original late 60's movie its based/copy/remake of, pretty harsh and rockin for that time. POINT BLANK

as for this deal, wow, $60 for me... I hope they all come. Missed out on the Matirx pack the other day and got Transformeres (pad cart for free shipping, blah!).

You're a better man than me if you can make it through that movie. I really like Aronofsky's other movies, but the Fountain was rough.

 

[TangoJuliet]

Sweet deal!

I got:
Fast and Furious
Billy Madison
Old School
Dazed and Confused

Couldn't go wrong for $20
