This looks like a coordinated event. If so, I like what they did. Who can complain about BOGO ? And a plot like this would make sense. This is HD DVDs best shot at winning the Software sales edge for one (1) week out of the year. Multiple Blu-ray BOGOs could stop this. HD DVD could do the same thing later, but they'll also have to compete with upcoming Blu-ray blockbusters every week until the end of the year.

Or.... Serendipity... A perfect storm of Retailers all deciding at the same time to have Blu-ray BOGOs all at the same time at the same week HD DVDs biggest blockbuster is being released.

When one retailer does it, does the other really have a choice??

Why isn't there BOGOs for HD DVD? The speculation seems to lie in subsidizing for BD, at least that is what I've been reading.

Got what I wanted on Sunday and I had a gift card for Best Buy to boot. Made a nice little haul! :)

  Yes. It was never so many stores before, both B&M, and online.

  Because its being sponsored by the BDA?
  This is a good time to buy BD titles, unfortunately, there isn't much out there on BD that I want.
  I also have to decide whether or not to stick with BD, which will mean buying a new player.
