Toshiba is apparently willing to basically give HD-DVD players away this holiday season in order to defeat the rival Blu-ray format.
Case in point: Amazon has a new offer where, if you buy the $197 HD-A3 1080i player, you get 10 free HD-DVD movies.
Two of the movies — 300 and The Bourne Identity — are packed with the player, but you get to pick the rest. And it’s a solid selection to choose from, including hits like Knocked Up, The Departed, Happy Feet, Goodfellas and Hot Fuzz.
Given that these movies average about $20 apiece, you’re practically making money here.
You also get the 10 free movies if you opt to buy the more expensive 1080p Toshiba players, the HD-A30 and the HD-A35.
