Amazon says: Buy Blu-ray with your HD-DVD player! - Blu-ray Forum

Amazon must be pro Blu since they are offering Blu-ray movies for those who buy a HD-DVD player!

http://www.amazon.com/Toshiba-HD-A35-1080p-DVD-Player/dp/B000U6AHZW/ref=pd_bbs_4/104-9251218-1845542?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1189929522&sr=8-4

Look down at their Better Together subsection...it states:

Better Together
Buy this item with The Fifth Element (Remastered) [Blu-ray] DVD ~ Bruce Willis today!
Total List Price: $528.94
Buy Together Today: $519.94

I just thought this was funny...

i think it was the lack of good movies to choose from on hddvd, so they chose that one, rather amusing though

it doesn't say anything about blu-ray playback, besides it's Toshiba, you think they'd release a dual format player, for $500? They are pushing the HD-DVD format, I think it's just a mistake, but can you guys imagine how the people who buy both the movie and player will feel when it doesn't work?
