Price drops are expected and they happen, this is not a new strategy and has been done for years.

By your logic, it is safe to say that Sony is desperately trying to scramble out of a hole by selling a 40GB PS3 when they denied its existence.

Oh wait, hold the presses. I'm sorry. Seven, not five, movies. How could I be so naive?

Please explain to me how this is any different than the five Blu-Ray movies that were being given away when one purchased a Blu-Ray player? If I'm not mistaken, this was done first with Blu-Ray movies.

Blu players haven't dropped almost 300% in price in the last month..

Also, the units are not in store, at least local to me. You can order them via website then have them shipped local. However, it won't matter as they aren't in stock online either.

100% speculation. No doubt. I'm just thinking out loud. But it seems like a logical thing that might've happened.

Take a look at this article from April and tell me that the deal wasn't made in advance..

This is about Walmart and the $99 HD-DVD player. What you are selling us is that Warner is going exclusive to HD-DVD. It's not the case right now, Warner did not say anything about this.

The way I see this, it's a special only good for the A-2 that is being sold-out since the A-3 is here. Their is only Sears with the black friday sale that is selling the A-3 for a nice (but higher) price. When the A-2 is gone, all price will go back to normal. Nothing new, it's a fire sale of something old to make space for something new.

And again, all those hot sale are only good for the US. This kind of deal is not worldwide. It's nice, but it's not THAT NICE to go on and say that HD-DVD is winning the war.

Boz, i'm all for HD-DVD, but you are over the top bias and overly excited.

Ordered one of the ones from BestBuy yesterday and got 300 and The Departed for free. The truth of the matter is if Blu-Ray doesnt have a $100 player soon, it won't win. $100 for a player is unreal, and I wouldn't have gotten one for even $200. $100 with 7 free movies is worth the risk for me

Exactly. I was going to wait until we had a clear outcome, but at $100 there's extremely little risk if you ask me, even on my working college student budget. I picked mine up at Wal-mart this morning.

More deals.. phew can't keep up..

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
