Dirt cheap HD DVDs - movies from $9.98

Dirt cheap HD DVDs - movies from $9.98 Things aren't looking too bad in the High Definition front for early HD DVD adopters or other HD enthusiasts. In the wake of Toshiba's announcement to drop HD DVD a number of lucrative deals have surfaced.

Most notably the prices of the HD DVD players have plummeted. You can now get, for example, Toshiba HD-A3 + two movies for as little as $79.99, which is rather ridiculous for a player with an excellent upscaler. For people with an existing DVD collection, HD capable display and no upscaling DVD player, the deal is quite tempting.

Even though the format will most likely fade away by the end of the year, there's still plenty of HD DVD movies available - often at bargain prices. For instance Amazon offers The Bourne Trilogy (The Bourne Identity / The Bourne Supremacy / The Bourne Ultimatum) at an incredible price of $29.99. That's almost $60 off the list price. DeepDiscount.com offers HD DVD movies from $9.98 and HDScape is dumping the HD DVD versions of their high definition demo videos at $6.95/each or $39.95 for the bundle of 8 discs.
