|
|
Has anyone heard of this??
Xbox HD-DVD add-on $179+tax
Heroes Season 1 box set - free
Matrix Ultimate box set - free
Planet Earth box set - free
5 mail in rebate HD-DVD's - free
King Kong w/add-on - free
This deal is ridiculous. The two box sets besides Heroes is not supposed to work but it is working for some reason in BB's system. I am going first thing after work tomorrow to test this out. I would suggest everyone does.

I have not seen this deal anywhere near me. In fact, the only recent deal I've seen is Heros season 1 with the drive.

Slick deals is reporting that this deal has changed.
It's 2 HD-Dvd titles under 34.99.
Those who got the box sets got a steal!

And in the process artificially altered the numbers in the format war. Sneaky, but smart move by M$ with only 59 days until Christmas.
Man I hope Sony responds in kind...either now or just prior to Christmas. I want to snipe a cheap deal PS3 from under the noses of the giants while they're duking it out.

Come on don't make this a Blu-ray vs HD-DVD thing!
I can confirm that I got a steal of a deal!!! It worked. I feel so giddy. I got the following:
Xbox Add-on : Retail $179
Heroes: Retail $99.99
Matrix Ultimate Edition: Retail $89.99
Planet Earth: Retail $79.99
5 free Movies by mail: Retail $15x5 - $75
Total Retail: $523.97 + tax
Actual Price to me: $179 + tax
Don't walk boys, run and get this insane deal. If you don't believe me I can provide photo evidence!
However, I am also hoping to get an equally insane deal on blu-ray equipment eventually  .

Wow. I WOULD go get this, even given my format-war aversion. But I'm out of the country for another week. I'm sure it'll be gone by next Saturday...

I think this varies, store-to-store...
at about 8:55pm I checked out with the Xbox drive, Heroes, Matrix Ultimate, and Planet Earth for $188. Cashier looked like a highschooler and didn't blink an eye. This was at the Best Buy in Reston, VA - I didn't confirm, but they said they had a few more copies of Heroes, which is necessary for the whole promotion to go through.
