Thought I would pass this along if anyone was looking to buy. In addition the the 5 disc bonus you get for buying it link you can get ANY 3 blu-ray movies for free. http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.ht...rd_t=201&pf_rd_p=305796401&pf_rd_i=B0009VXAM0
Also works with the Toshiba HD DVD players (3 instant movies, 5 from rebate). Both deals actually take $20-25 off of your purchase price also, because there's a buy 2, get 1 free promotion going on, with the cheapest of the 3 movies being deducted from the total.
2 words, format wars... HD-DVD is also having a similar offer for 8 free movies for HD-DVD add on for the XBox 360 btw, anybody remember the free movies after rebate they got with your first DVD player? The only ones I remember is Matilda, Lost In Space, The Devil's Advocate, and 2 other movies I can't remember.
I think you can use this with the $499 SKU as well (or did I misunderstand your post?). From SlickDeals (best deal by the price I think): http://www.slickdeals.net/?permadeal=10150
Apparently the promotions are broken at the moment. I placed several BR and HD DVD buy 2 get 1 free orders before it went down. 3 disks for $34 was a nice deal.
