Best Buy joins the HD DVD Buy 1 Get 1 fun

by Darren Murph posted Jan 31st 2008 at 3:28PM


Heads up, HD DVD followers -- it's not just Amazon dishing out two flicks for the price of one anymore. As of right now, Best Buy is offering up a select number of titles in BOGO fashion, but there's no sign of how long the offer will last. 'Course, it's not like the retailer hasn't given the Blu-ray camp its chance to get in on such a deal before, but apparently, big yellow is looking out for camp red today.

[Thanks, Mike K.]

Update: Seems this deal will cease to exist (if only momentarily) on Sunday. Thanks, TrentD!

Shocker: Amazon's Blu-ray BOGO boosts BD rankings

by Darren Murph posted Jan 2nd 2008 at 6:17PM


We know, it's tough to believe, but Amazon's recent Buy 1 Get 1 free offer on Blu-ray titles has skyrocketed a number of BD films to the top of its curiously named DVD rankings. Granted, we saw the exact same thing happen to the red camp just days ago, but just in case the dead horse needed one more thumping, it's pretty safe to say that lowering disc prices will net a hefty gain in sales. At one point earlier today, the entire top ten list consisted of Blu-ray films, and currently, a majority of those positions are still being claimed by BD titles. So before you jump all down the other camp's throat about sales figures, you may want to give the lion's share of credit to lower prices, plain and simple.

Amazon offers up Buy 1 Get 1 on Blu-ray flicks

Sure, you may still be clearing your head after a few nights of debauchery, but it doesn't take a genius to figure out that Buy 1 Get 1 ain't a half bad deal. Just a week after offering up such a deal on HD DVD flicks, Amazon is now giving Blu-ray owners (another) shot at picking up a number of films in BOGO fashion. Per usual, there's a limit of two per title, per customer and you can only snag 25 free titles per order, but why not hit the read link and check out the selections, anyway?

[Thanks, Jim]

Amazon BOGO excels HD movies to number one for the first time ever

Eproductwars chart
We had a feeling that the Amazon buy one get one free offer was going to get some people excited, but we can't say we saw this coming. As long as we've been following the new formats, we've never see one of 'em at the number one spot on Amazon's poorly named DVD chart. In addition to this, is that the top four spots are occupied by Harry Potter HD DVDs. Up until now, the top stop occupied by a HD movie was 300, which hit number two. As great as this is for HD movies, before red fanboys start proclaiming victory, they should consider that although Home Media Magazine wasn't published this week (and thus no Nielsen VideoScan numbers) the data was leaked by a reputable source on AVS, and stated that the blu version of Phoenix outsold red by 1.2:1. Of course this was before the Amazon sale, so we'll be interested to see if all those Amazon sales are enough to move the overall market.

Amazon offers up Buy 1 Get 1 on HD DVD flicks

We've already got all up in your business and found out what your favorite gift was, so now that you're sitting around itching to burn through some of that holiday coin, why not indulge in Amazon's latest offer? As of right now, users can snap up select HD DVD titles in Buy 1 Get 1 free fashion, with a maximum of two per title and 20 freebies per order. 'Course, Amazon doesn't tend to let these promotions run for too long, so we'd suggest ordering now and thinking later.

[Thanks, REGION FREE HD]
