Get your 5 free Blu-ray Disc movies

Get your 5 free Blu-ray Disc movies
The Blu-ray Disc Association will soon be unveiling a new mail-in offer that provides US consumers with the opportunity to receive 5 free Blu-ray Disc movies with the purchase of select Blu-ray standalone players or the Sony PS3 gaming console.

This mail-in offer will be starting on July 1st and runs through September 30th. Rumor is that the offer can also be combined with other existing Blu-ray promos, such as the 5 free Blu-ray movies that are included in the Panasonic DMP-BD10A standalone player. The online home for this offer is bluraysavings.com and the site should be launching within the next few days.

Bluray5FreeMovies

This offer is limited to a select number of Blu-ray titles and you can only choose one title from each of 5 categories. The categories are divided by movie studio and contain the following options.

Category 1 (Buena Vista) includes The Guardian, Pearl Harbor, Invincible and Chicken Little.

Category 2 (Warner) includes Corpse Bride, Phantom of the Opera and Blazing Saddles.

Category 3 (Sony) includes Stealth, Resident Evil 2, Underworld Evolution and Stir of Echoes.

Category 4 (Paramount) includes The Italian Job, Black Rain, Babel and Devil’s Rejects.

Category 5 (Fox) includes Kiss of the Dragon, Omen 666, The Transporter 2, Species, Hart’s War and The Last Waltz.

A response to HD DVD’s 5 free movie offer

This latest Blu-ray promo is strikingly similar to the 5 free HD DVD’s with the purchase of an HD DVD player promo that is being offered by Toshiba. Toshiba first started offering 3 free HD DVD’s after mail-in and more recently increased the amount to 5. Whether or not this is a response to the HD DVD promo, the 5 free Blu-ray movies make it even more enticing for consumers to pick up a Blu-ray player this summer.

What about BD-J?

The Blu-ray Disc Association is requiring all Blu-ray players launched past October 31st to support the full BD-J specifications as well as include additional hardware that is not found in most of the current Blu-ray standalone players. Considering this mandate, this 5 free movies promotion could also be designed to help move the current Blu-ray standalone players that will soon become “out of spec”. With that said, the PS3 already has an extremely powerful set of hardware and is probably (still) the best Blu-ray player available. Due to this, I can only recommend the PS3 as a Blu-ray player at this time. More discussion of this offer can be found on HighDefDigest and CDRLabs.
