OK, a sale is a sale, but this is getting ridiculous. It wasn't good enough that Amazon was offering $100 off a Blu-ray Player and 4 movies, but now if you buy the Samsung BD-P1500 player and eight Warner movies on Blu-ray Disc, you effectively get the player for free with an instant $200 discount in your cart! This means you can get the player and eight Warner movies on Blu-ray for as little as $137.28 with free Super Saver shipping!
UPDATE (12/8 - 6:11 PM): Amazon has cancelled this deal due to excessive demand! The best current deal on a BD-Live capable player is currently the Panasonic BMP-BD35 for around $203 with 6 free movies.
Details on earlier BD-P1500 deal follow below (now expired):
First Go Here:
Check the boxes to add either player and any eight movies to your cart. Hint: if you want to add movies from different pages, add them to your cart first, then click "Back" in your browser to get back to the movie listings pages. After adding the player and eight films to your cart, enter the promotional code SAMWB2OO (actually the code is probably SAMWB200 - 0s, not Os) in the promotional code box during the final stage of checkout, and confirm that the $200 discount is applied before submitting your payment.
Update (12/8 - 10:20 AM and 2:48 PM): Amazon seems to be having a problem with this promotion right now where the player will not stay in your cart or shows up on the offer page as "Currently unavailable." The problem may be that they have blown through their entire stock of the player already in just a few hours. Hopefully they will replenish the stock but they may just pull the plug early instead. They briefly replenished the stock this afternoon with a higher player price (price of player raised from $203.61 to $219.95, and estimated ship date was 12/11) but even that did not last! You might need to keep reloading the offer page (F5 key) in order to be able to add the player to your cart (it will change from "Currently unavailable" to "In stock"), and then manually re-add it to cart from your "saved items" list during check-out. The deal is supposed to run until 12/14 but don't count on stock lasting that long.
Also, keep in mind that the movie prices vary from $16.99 and up, so your total price will vary, depending on which discs you select. Also, Amazon prices are always subject to change, as is the price of the player, so if you see the player in stock with movies that you like then snag them while you can! Don't forget to select "super saver shipping" if you want everything shipped free, or select a more expeditious shipping method if you're in a hurry. Check out and get ready for some of that high definition 1080p goodness!
Samsung's BD-P1500 supports BD-Live, and bitstream output
of the latest surround sound codecs from Dolby and DTS.
The Samsung player supports full 1080p output (including 1080p/24), Bonus View and BD-Live (with the addition of an optional USB flash memory drive), as well as bitstreaming of the next generation audio formats: Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio and multi-channel PCM. The player also offers on-board decoding of these formats to PCM (except DTS-HD decoding, which is promised by Samsung in a future firmware upgrade).
Disc pricing in this promotion is also excellent (30% or more off retail) and selection is much more extensive than past promotions with over 3 pages worth od discs and boxed sets from which to choose. Keep in mind that there are no rebate forms to fill out or mail in and long waiting periods for a check that may never arrive. The discount is applied immediately to your cart once you apply the promotion code at check-out.
