For those willing to invest in a doomed technology (or maybe those who just need company for their Betamax VCRs and Laserdisc players), Amazon.com is helping clear out HD DVD inventory with sales of up to 57% off many current catalog and new release titles, as well as deep discounts on HD DVD players.
For example, the Complete Matrix Trilogy boxed set is available on HD DVD while supplies last for under $45 - that's less than half its original list price. And the stunning documentary series "Planet Earth" is on sale for $54.95 (45% off).
Get them now while they're still available. In addition to the 57% off sale, Amazon has another 50% off sale with 150 titles. Here are the links:
And you might want to pick up a spare HD DVD player while you're at it, as these are also available for about one third of their original price.
Of course, those who are more patient among us can wait for the Blu-ray versions of these films (and the next generation web-enabled players to play them) but for those who feel immediate gratification takes too long, it's time to go shopping!
