They did offer it later, but never to the point where HD DVD went... and by that, I mean people saying online that they were going to go buy an HD DVD player so they can get the free movies, and then selling the HD DVD player on EBay... effectively paying nothing for the movies.

With Columbia House, you're supposed to be committed to buy more films at regular prices.
