In the high-def war, the HD DVD camp has been taking a kicking in the publicity stakes [and sales, apparently] from its Blu-ray rival.
As a result, Microsoft has extended its US offer of free HD DVD movies to the UK. If you buy the HD DVD player for the Xbox 360 between now and the end of January 2008 you will get five free HD DVD movies. Just buy your HD DVD add-on for the 360, then pop over to this page on the Microsoft site and enter in your details along with the barcode from the player and your movies will be winging their way over within 28 days.
Choose from the following:
Serenity
The Chronicles of Riddick
Hulk
Children of Men
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift
Troy
Full Metal Jacket
Corpse Bride
The Prestige
Swordfish
Black Rain
Dreamgirls
Word Trade Center
The offer is also extended to anyone that bought a HD DVD after Oct 1st [as long as you have the receipt] but early adopters of the HD DVD are left out..
