As we reported earlier, for this week only, Wal-Mart is offering a $100 gift certificate free with the purchase of any Blu-ray player (including the
PlayStation 3) online or instore. This includes the
Magnavox NB500MG9 which can be had for $298 (or less than $200 net with the free gift card). Additionally, they are offering a nice selection of Blu-ray titles (including but not limited to:
Flags of Our Fathers,
3:10 to Yuma,
300,
Shooter,
Blood Diamond,
Training Day,
War,
The Fifth Element,
A Knight's Tale,
The Patriot,
The Last Samurai, and
Syriana) for $15.
If you do purchase a player online, as I expect many of our readers to do, that gift card can only be used for online purchases. I expect that many of our readers will in turn use that gift card to pick up some of those $15 titles. With the opportunity to purchase a Blu-ray player and six Blu-ray titles for $300, supplies are expected to run out early.
I also expect that some of you may have forgotten that this weekend is Father's Days (at least for the yanks!) and will jump on this deal as an excellent opportunity to show your father just how much you love him.
Thanks goes out to PossumPete for submitting the news.
