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?

Unfortunately, it's mistakes like these that lead to consumer confusion.

OMG!!!! hahahahahaha...
HD DVD does not have attractive movie selection. IMO.

Well, they can always return the player and say it's defective... they would only be half wrong
