Remember the Wal-Mart secret sale a couple of weeks ago with $99 HD DVD players?
Well, for the secret sale next week (the weekend following Black Friday) they're giving away 10 free Blu-Ray movies instantly with every 80gb ps3 purchased, not including the 5 free by mail. That's 15 movies for free!
See more here and here:
On 11/24 at 8:00am (running through 11:59pm on 11/25), the 80GB PS3 ($499) will come with 10 FREE Blu-ray movies instantly. You choose any 10 BD titles under $30 within the store and they will override the prices to zero. For those stores that carry BD already, additional titles are being sent in for the sale. For those that do not have BD in their store (a small minority) product will be sent to each store specifically for this sale.
Also, there's been anecdotal evidence from a few posters on the High Def Digest forums that the Samsung BD-P1400 is selling for only $299 with 8 free movies at the Wal-marts where it's in stock. They don't have it on their online store, so I can not confirm this.
If it's true, then there goes HD DVD's price advantage. You can get the Samsung Blu-Ray player with 8 free movies for $299, or the Toshiba A2 for $228 with 5 free movis.
