28 November Update: Both sales are now over.  

26 November Update: The original 3 for 2 sale has now ended, but Amazon has a new one with fewer titles than the original. See, I told you to be quick. Oh well, the “new” sale is better than nothing I suppose. And just in case you still don’t want to heed my advice to be quick, the Blu-ray sale is specifically listed as a one day only sale, so there’s no if and buts about how quickly this one will end. The links below have been updated.

Amazon has launched a new Buy 2 get 1 free deal (3 for the price of 2) for selected Blu-ray and HD DVD titles. It’s not as good as your classic BOGO (Buy One Get One) free deal, but it’s better than nothing, especially for HD DVD fans. You better be quick though, because the last B2G1F deal for HD DVD only lasted a couple of days before it was abruptly ended.

Here are the links:

Buy Two HD DVDs and Receive a Third for Free

As mentioned before, get them while they are still available because judging by past sales, they go pretty quickly.

Before I go any further, let me first say that this poll is not a scientific poll. It’s not even close. We do try to limit the number of votes each person gives, but I’m sure it’s easy to by pass our “security” system. But then again, why would people feel the need to tamper with this poll? It’s not a controversial topic, and fanboys are taken out of the equation by not making the poll format specific. Maybe it’s not deliberate, maybe people are just searching for something to click on, and they randomly click on one of the poll answers. Maybe I made the poll results up completely. Whatever the case, DON’T TRUST THESE RESULTS.

But what does these results tell us? Well it tells us that 76% of people who visit Digital Digest, a tech-heavy, HD promoting website, do not have any HD movies, Blu-ray or HD DVD. Do people simply not care and are happy with their DVD collections? Are they worried one format will fail? Or are the prices not attractive enough yet? We don’t know, because that’s not the question we asked in this poll.

But what we do know, at least from this severely flawed poll, is that the majority of HD owners seem to sit at either ends of the disc count scale. They either have 10 or less movies (like me), or are home theatre enthusiasts with fat wallets that have tons of movies which makes me jealous to no ends. If you are reading this and have the means and will to spend $27.95 for a copy of “I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry”, please send some money my way, as it seems you are quite willing to just throw money away for mediocre crap (and I’m being kind), so why not support this mediocre chap instead.

Update: As promised, the one day sale has now ended. The prices are now back to the “normal” price (around $27.99).

Amazon is running a one day 55% off (retail pricing) Blu-ray sale. Prices are around $17.99 per title, which is not the best deal when you had the likes of BOGO Free (Buy One Get One) deals (which has now expired), but there are a few good titles to buy.

The link to the page containing the sale, plus a list of titles for sale, is below:
