Pricing starts August 1st. The free HD-DVD movie offer lasts between August 1st and September 30th. The retail value of 5 HD-DVD movies is $140, so not only are you getting a pretty hot deal on an HD-DVD player, but you get a great deal on movies as well. You can also use the HD-DVD player on your computer with the right software and drivers according to UneasySilence:

PowerDVD

Drivers for XP

PC Perspective says you don't need any drivers. At any rate, seems to work great!

The Hot Deals forum is for posting deals that are readily available for purchase along with a place to purchase them. Information on upcoming price cuts do not belong here. You might want to post this information in the Console Gaming forum, if it is not already there.
