Interesting, I like to see offers like this as it encourages the competition to do something similar or better. Sure the offer isn't what it initially appears to be but other than the DRM scheme found on both formats (other than HD DVD doesn't have BD+) offers like this help get the formats more and more noticeable to consumers.

It also helps encourage price drops which also help the public take notice of something new.'

Peace

glad to see sony is starting to offer..something
is it just me or are they doing it..wrong? hmm
well its not like the hd dvd 5 free is perfect either, but its better..
hopefully this does encourage competition and hd dvd offers something similar =]

Better yet, drop the price of stuff...

what is this couple of bu**sh*t in sandwitch.
where is this term in consumer market "customer satisfaction" gone ?
i mean sony when you say it could be any movie we choose and not from list of movies you decide us to choose from .

clearly i don't like hd dvd but it least they know abc of "customer satisfaction" give the people what they want and not from something you choose. free and fair practice

everybody is confused in hd war, but it looks you sony are making it
easier

I thought this was supposed to give the consumer choice after all it does not seem to be the case.
