Got Blood Diamond, and caught up on a few titles I've wanted for a while now.

* Blood Diamond
* NiN Live - Beside You In Time
* Slither
* Superman (The Movie)
* Dazed & Confused
* Mystery Men

I'm aware Dazed isn't known for great PQ, but my wife loves the movie and since it's a combo, we can play it in the bedroom.

Ordered so far for today :

DVE
The Skeleton key
The Frighteners
Lost in translation

Looks like Norbit doesn't have the 10% off applied to it, so I'm waiting on that one. If the 6 other titles I was planning to pre-order have the 10% off applied, I will add these today.

I was just trying to order a few Blu-Rays and HD-DVDs and when I put Planet Earth(HD-DVD version) into my basket it shows a ship date of May 24? I called Amazon customer service and they didn't have an answer for me. They think it might be back ordered. If it doesn't show shipped by Tuesday I will just cancel order and get it locally.

Looks like BR sales on Amazon are already showing the effect of their "buy BR on Amazon" day... The sales chart shows a steep increase that started in the last few hours.

Time to wake up guys, looks like they're ordering Planet Earth to try to break HD DVD's record sale on that title.

Damn, must be nice being Amazon these days...

Yeah, Bourne Identity is one of my favorite movies of all. Too bad it's not up yet, would have made a nice slam-dunk for today.

amirm, why two "Matrix" Box Sets (Ultimate and Complete)? Guess somebody friendly to you is getting lucky. Also, why would the guy that runs the MS division that helps encode these movies not get them for free or at a discount price from the authoring facility? If anyone is connected inside that could pull off getting HD-DVD movies as freebies I'd think it'd be you.

BTW last night I saw Under Siege on HD-DVD. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did even though the lack of extras really hurts replayability. I hadn't seen the movie in almost eight years (skipped the DVD entirely since it came out early in the format's cycle so I knew it was a crap transfer) and it was a solid Tier 2-3 transfer. Solid PQ, excellent AQ (make sure you lower the volume when the ship fires the cannons that send Tommy Lee Jones flying... it's LOUD!) and good, solid stunts with some good action/explosions. If it weren't for the times we live in and terrorist wasn't such a dead-serious issue the movie would be more fun than what it is: an unpretentious guy action flick. Even Segal is tolerable when he says stupid things, something that can't be said about Andy Parsons (zing!).

I might buy an HD-DVD movie later today (probably "Blood Diamond") but I'm still broke and not sure I can afford more than $25. But since the 2 million HD-DVD players from Walmart are coming I think we don't have to be paranoid about these amazon.com sales anymore. It's not like HD-DVD is going away anytime soon!
