Nope not clever at all. It was weird how it turned out for me. I bought the A3 early January thinking that the format war was going to last another good year. Couldn't pass on the good deals at the time. Bought the A3 for $99 + 4 movies instantly and send away for 5 so thats 9 HD-DVD movies. And the choices were damn good compared to the Blu-ray deal. Amazon decided to take their sweet time shipping so I received it late Jan, day before the big Warner announcement. I was ready to ship everything back but my employee wanted to buy a DVD player so I sold it to him at my cost. I even warned him that HD-dvd will be fazed out but all he wanted it for was a good upscaling dvd player and the bonus 9 movies didn't hurt. Couple weeks later Amazon lowers their price of the A3 to $75. I get a $25 credit. Now they give you a $50 coupon. That is crazy. So you get an A3, 9 movies for $25 all in 3.5 months.

what's the promo code, do u know? I used what appeared to be the promo code from the link u provided, "PROMO CODE HERE" at check out, but it's invalid, my email's registered to a hotmail, but the firewall at the office won't let me check it. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

I'm sure that "PROMO CODE HERE" is not the actual code. It should be included in the email that you receive.

you are correct. There is an actual code they give you that is unique group of numbers and alpha.
