Thanks: Gave 3, Got 52 | AMAZON.COM 50% off Blue Ray leads to HUGE sales surge
50% OFF BluRay titles from amazon.com for limited titles has led to a massive surge in BluRay Sales.
Quite remarkable sales surge if you ask me.

You could make a console worth £1000 and it could be great value for money. £425 IS great value for money for the PS3. Ive had mine since november and use linux as my media player etc, and blu ray for movies and ps3 for games. With the new PS HOME announcement tonight its even more value for money. My 360 is not on one tenth of the time as my ps3 and thats without many games out

I am at a COMPLETE loss on how you read in a comment about PS3 into my text that was deliberately written to be both format neutral and free of any manufacturer bias.

Ah, it's just the knock-on effect of PS3 owners/owners to be paranoia. Check out the PS3 forum and you'll see the root of that paranoia... It's crawling with 360 fanboys putting the PS3 down
On topic, I'm very tempted to put a few orders in of some of these titles. Any recommendations of region free titles?

| For me, the 360 is for games (PS3 offers nothing my X-Box doesn't or can't do), but the kicker for me is BluRay....frankly, for me the PS3 is worth the asking price purely for the BR player. The fact that it does more is just an added bonus  |

Things like this could do wonders for both HD formats trying to compete with each other as well as other studios dropping prices if only for slightly older titles.

The machines indeed are region coded. Region coded for BD, Region A covers US and Japan, Region B is Europe.
Some of the UK BD discs are region free though

Price hardware competively and people will buy a new format... | Indeed. I've bought 11 disks, 10 of which I would have not done if it wasn't for this offer. All I need now is something to play them with.
BTW stock levels have gone down 4500 since the offer started
