Default Buy one Blu-ray movie Get one Free on Amazon.....

They just updated the list......it's a select few (~40) but some are great movies. Also they have 2 sets of "The Best of Blu-ray" which contains 4 movies @ $56.95. If you buy the other set which also contains 4 movies it comes out to about ~$7/each.

Also, not sure if it's a glitch but after purchasing I went back......selected another 2 and got the other free!

I'm going nuts over here getting blu-ray movies ~$10/each.....i'll report back as to how many i've ordered. :chuckles:

From what I've read, TMNT is a fantastic demonstration of the HD. The CGI textures really stand out.

I think I would ALWAYS have SD movies as there are some that just don't need HD imo. Until the day when SD is fully phased out I would still buy in SD

It's a steal but it sounds like you should have gotten a better deal.

Pair together (remember they give you free of the lesser amount)
Troy - $23.95
The Fountain - $23.95 (free)

Pair together
Blood Diamond - $19.95
The Last Samurai - $19.95 (free)

Now they set up $3.97 shipping but overide that on the left and select free shipping (maybe take a day or 2 longer to get it but it's free)

$19.95 + $23.95 = $43.90 (shipped) for all 4 movies

Not sure what you did wrong but you still got a decent deal.

Depends on the tv. Correct me if i'm wrong but regular dvd's at most output 480p.

I was watching a dvd the other day (OZ Disc 5) and you can still notice a big difference.

I believe so, but you can up convert them to a little better. nowhere NEAR HD...but better.

Here is a nice TMNT reference of 1080p :drool:

It got screwed up because I accident;y had 2 last samurai's. I cancelled and re-ordered. 43.90 for the whole thang.
