    No problem, pulled it off some other forum. I'm sure there are other titles that aren't included in that list, but a good starting point.

    I just bought 6 HD-DVDs last week, wish this deal was in affect back then.

    Still might get Batman Begins (although I alread have 2 SD-DVDs of it), Bourne Supremacy, and Blood Diamond. . . only $39.90 shipped.

    The Mummy, The Mummy Returns and 12 monkeys together do not work.

    However:

    Batman Begins
    Blue Planet
    Bourne Supremacy

    Found the problem. The Mummy Returns does not qualify, took it out, swapped with another movie and no problem.

    Ended up with 3 more:

    12 monkeys
    Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
    Blood Diamond

    That pushes my collection up to 25.....goooooo HD DVD!

    The offer is fully and publicly displayed now for both BD and HD-DVD, with all titles available under the 3 for 2 offer listed on Amazon's Web site. Certainly makes it easier to figure out what qualifies.

    I tried to order three but didn't get the discount. Apparently if the movie isn't in stock, it won't go through.

    I've asked this a few times but never gotten an answer. . .

    Anywhere know where you can get a HD-DVD / BRD rack / stand? Mine don't fit well in my SD-DVD rack. I'm sure someone sells one just for hi def cases.

    What did you get in round four?

    I did pull the trigger on Batman Begins, Bourne Supremacy, and Blood Diamond. Three of the best movies that begin with B that I can think of :)

    seems weird that they ran a deal like this pretty much unadvertised (except for one small ad today), and it only lasted 48 hours. . . maybe less.
