If the rumour isn’t just a rumour, Wal-mart has just proven it isn’t backing HD DVD whatsoever. Here is some information about one of the 4 planned "Secret Sales" for the holiday season. A supposed Wal-mart employee claims that between 8:00am on November 24th and 11:59pm on November 25th, the largest grocery retailer in the United States will be giving away 10 free Blu-ray movies (of your choice but limited to the store and each must be under $30) to every new owner of a $499 80GB PlayStation 3. Walmart is reportedly taking this quite seriously: “For those stores that carry BD already, additional titles are being sent in for the sale. For those that do not have BD in their store (a small minority) product will be sent to each store specifically for this sale. Oh, and you still get your 5 FREE movies by mail.”

in a retail world nothing is "FREE" it's all .01 so yes they can count it as a sale.
Is there many titles under 30 in most retailers? i know theres very few in AUS but im not sure of US prices..
"Hey, you brought a PS3, here, have $300 worth of movies for free"
"Hey, you brought a PS3, here, have $300 worth of movies for free"
+ 5 more.
This is confirmed! http://holiday.ri-walmart.com/?section=secret
click on the see saturdays deals thing and it pops up
Minimum 2 per store though lol
You have not heard the saying "chicks dig a guy with a enormous DVD collection?"
It's a good deal, you get the PS3 for almost nothing and it's a good kick start for a movie collection.
My guess is most likely using this math formula.
Assume $30 per movie
10 movies in store + 5 mail in rebate = 15 movies.
15 movies x $30 per movie = $450 in movie value
PS3 @ $500 - $450 in movie value = $50 for the PS3.
or almost nothing.
Childish statement. Please repeat after me:
"Wal-mart backs only those things that help them maximize profit, no matter what they are"
"Wal-mart backs only those things that help them maximize profit, no matter what they are"
"Wal-mart backs only those things that help them maximize profit, no matter what they are"

yeah i said that already in post #11
...and throw up in their parking lot!
Then again their PS3 TV commercials aren't going much for sales either.
Didn't Sony get the hint? You lose, pack up and go home. Make more shelf space for Nintendo and Microsoft. They obviously know what they are doing. Nintendo can't keep their Wii in stock anywhere and they didn't have to lower their price or offer free movies.
