I actually think THIS list is 100x better. Funny thing is, I haven't sent my form in yet - doesn't expire until the end of October and I'm lazy. Too bad you have to have purchased between those specific dates or I'd send this one in for sure. I wonder if they'd notice...

Nice! Seriously, HD DVD is the BOMB. These are pretty good choices too. Check out Pitch Black, Troy, and Full METAL Jacket. Yeah... it's not MEDAL it's METAL. Anyway, 300 in HD is freakin' awesome... that alone is worth the jump.

most of those movies are so crappy they weren't even worth putting out on DVD.

This is very cool. I wonder why they don't advertise that this drive works on any newer PC? It would really open up the market if more PC users jumped onboard. What a great deal!

It's curious that there still hasn't been a European equivalent of this offer. I think it could spur HD-DVD sales here.

On the other hand, it may be too late for that since Blu-Ray currently has 80% of the European market. I'm in Holland and I just heard that the Free Records Shop chain is now going Blu-Ray only and dropping HD-DVD completely. If you're a HD-DVD fan, this is bad news. FRS stores usually go for the mainstream of the mainstream in their choice of CDs, DVDs and games, but still, they're the biggest electronics chain in the Netherlands...

I also sent mine in about 2 and a half months ago and I still haven't recieved mine either. Anyone know what the lead time on actually getting your HD-DVD's is??

Guess they saw how Sony did this and now they are trying to do the same thing.

Good God that selection is horrible. I balked at the last promotion, hoping there would be a better one at the holidays. It looks like I missed out.

@ boston
wrong. it was only 5 movies last time as well. i believe amazon.com offered a few free movies but they had nothing to do with the last 5 free movies via mail. as far as this selection goes my movies would be:
A. Crappy movies here, but i'll go with Aeon Flux
B. Pitch Black
C. Swordfish
D. Crappy movies here too, but i'll go with Firewall
E. Troy
i am not saying i am going to spend money on this, just my hypothetical choices for the movies.....still too worried about the format war to drop 180 bucks on an hd dvd drive...

I might yet get an HD-DVD player, if only they came in black. Oh well...

Category A:
The Italian Job
(Wife likes this movie and the other two are just atrocious).

Category B:
Pitch Black, Riddick FTW.

Category C:
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (which one?)
Oh... doesn't matter: Full Metal Jacket

Category D:
Uh...

Category E:
Hmm... Troy has a cool battle scene right?

Just as a heads up in case anyone really cares, that Troy edition up for offer is the old version, which is a joke compared to how hardcore the recently available Director's Cut is.

Remember kids, the promotion doesn't observe leap year so don't buy a player on February 29th. The mail in offer states clear as day how long it will take to receive your movies. It amazes me when people say, It's been 2 months and still no movies. haha. 2 months is about 8 weeks. 1st grade math class called and wants their student back.

I just purchased the 360 HD DVD drive yesterday (10/18) - and would much rather have the DVD's from the previous offer. Anyone want to swap a copy of their receipt dated before 10/1 for mine so they can get the current offer and I can hurry and get the previous offer sent in before the end of this month?

@ #20 - You can hook it up to a PC easily like they did in this article: http://www.legitreviews.com/article/532/1/

@ #16 - I mailed mine in back in July also and they haven't arrived yet either. I called the number on the rebate today and they said they are waiting to go out though and they had me in the system.

I don't watch R-rated movies, so I won't be taking advantage of Category E. Makes me want to wait for the next offer...

Religious preference.
