5 Free Blu-ray Movies Offer Gone??? - Blu-ray Forum

Real Maximus · 03-13-2008, 10:35 PM

I could have purchased the PS3 at Christmas time with a free game or movie, plus 10 free movies from Walmart (day after Christmas), in addition to the 5 free BD movie offer. I could have spent $400 and had 16 FREE BD titles! I just didn't have the money and my wife probably would have killed me.

So.. Here I sit with my HD-DVD player and movies and no BD player. I would have gotten in sooner, but money is tight. I am thinking of selling off other things so I can buy a PS3 40 gig. My question is whether anyone knows if the free movies will be coming back? I'd hate to buy a player right now after losing out on HD-DVD and then not get any free BD titles additionally. ALL info is welcome. THANK YOU! (keeping fingers crossed for good news)

I would like an answer too - I just bought another one today. Wanted another 80, but apparently they only make the 40 GB now.

Don't think they are doing any free BD deals right now.

From what I have read the Free movies were Blu-ray's answer to the Free movie offers that HD DVD had out (Toshiba). Since Toshiba & HD are out of the picture I can't imagine we'll see any "free offers" in the near term. Perhaps closer to Xmas when newer Blu-ray palyers are released (especially if the economic climate remains tight and consumers are slow to make the switch from standard DVD's.

I would love to see them have an offer...likely would make me move from my current positioon of watching (spent too much on HD to make the quick jump back in to high-def). I'm going to watch the next 60-120 day to see what transpires...too soon to the Toshiba announcement to see which way they'll go.

Great. I bought my first PS3 before the deal, and my 2nd one after the deal...
