Buy a HD DVD Player Now for Less Than $200

The HD DVD group has a nice offer for people who want to buy a HD DVD Player from Toshiba. From now to the end of July, if you buy a Toshiba HD DVD player, you will receive 5 HD DVD movies for free, a $100 value at amazon prices.

You can buy he HD-D1 (first generation) at $290.41 right now and the HD-A2 (second generation) is available for $329.99 [affiliate links]. This is still over $200 you would say but if you claim you free movies, your HD DVD player will have cost you only $190 or $229.99 depending on the model you choose. Interested? I am!

I didn't thought we could break the $200 mark so soon! What is the trick? There is no trick but the choice of movies is limited to the following titles:

Apollo 13, Casablanca, Four Brothers, The Rundownm U-571, Seabiscuit, Constantine, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, Blazing Saddles, The Perfect Storm, The Chronicles of Riddick, Dukes of Hazard, Sky Captain and the Wolrd of Tomorrow, U2: Rattle and Hum and We Were Soldiers.

Here's also the list of HD DVD players from Toshiba you can buy to be eligible to the offer: HD-A1, HD-XA1, HD-D1, HD-A2, HD-A2W, HD-XA2, HD-D2, HD-A20. This is pretty much all the Toshiba HD DVD players available right now…

This is beating the hell out of the Blu-ray camp who still have a hard time catching up HD DVD on player prices.
