Wal-Mart has revealed that any consumer who purchases a Blu-ray Disc player between June 8th and 14th will receive a free $100 gift card. In addition to the Sony BDP-S300 ($388), which they have been selling for some time now, they have added the
Magnavox NB500MG9 ($298) as well as Blu-ray players from Samsung and Panasonic.
Beginning June 8th, the retailer will also be reducing the price of best selling Blu-ray titles such as '
3:10 to Yuma', '
300', and '
Shooter' to under $15. This will provide an excellent opportunity for new Blu-ray owners to build a library of quality Blu-ray titles for the same cost as a DVD.
No word on if these deals will also be applicable to their online store as well.
