Target and Movielink give away 300

31 July 2007 19:48 by Rich "vurbal" Fiscus | 4 comments

Movie download site Movielink is offering a free download of battle flick 300 to consumers who buy the deluxe edition DVD in Target stores as part of a promotion for the Warner Home Video release

Target is promoting the partnership with stickering on the DVD, and Movielink sent an e-mail to customers telling them to �Double the Power of 300� by buying the disc in Target stores to receive the free download.

Movielink also will give Target buyers the free 22-minute behind-the-scenes feature �Making of 300,� which isn�t included on the DVD.

The companies are the latest to tie DVD sales with online sales.

Last week, Starz Home Entertainment announced a promotion with sister movie subscription site Vongo and Trans World Entertainment, that ties sales in FYE stores to sales and subscriptions on Vongo.

A year ago, Wal-Mart offered consumers who purchased Warner�s Superman Returns DVD a download of the film through its Web site for several dollars more.

If I am legally allowed to sell/give one copy, and keep the other, then I think this is a fairly good idea. However, if I am not legally allowed to do this, then duckNrun is 100% right! [ + quote]

*Quote:* A year ago, Wal-Mart offered consumers who purchased Warner�s Superman Returns DVD a download of the film through its Web site for several dollars more. I would rather get this offer again rather than 300. [ + quote]

I just got done reading 1984 by George Orwell. All of this crap that is being put out by these companies sounds to much like the plot lines of this story. [ + quote]
