PS3 and eight Blu-ray movies for $475

by Andrew Yoon { Aug 28th 2007 at 10:00AM }

It sucks to be an early adopter, y'know? We had to suffer intolerable waits in line, high prices, and a lack of free bonuses. (Okay, so we got "Talladega Nights.") Either through a glitch, or an intentional deal on amazon.com's part, you can buy a 60GB PS3 system and get eight Blu-ray movies for about $475, free shipping included. How does one take part in such a spectacular deal?

Add the 60GB PS3 to your amazon.com shopping cart.
Choose three Blu-ray movies from this list and add them to the cart. [Updated link!]
Right before checkout, you'll see the discount applied (see picture, right).

Then, you'll get a rebate form for five more Blu-ray movies. Even if you don't want to be part of a next-gen movie format war, this is still one of the cheapest ways we've seen to get a PS3 -- the free movies are a nice added bonus.

Humm looks very nice. Awesome deal for ppl who think the PS3 costs too much.

Stef Geiger @ Aug 28th 2007 10:16AM

DUDE, Talladega Nights is NOT a free bonus. I'm pretty sure Sony needed to weigh down the first 500 000 PS3 boxes and it was cheaper than a blank Blu-ray disc.

this has nothing to do with buying a ps3, amazon is having a buy 2 get free deal on blu ray and hd dvd. The only catch is that the titles are completely random. more info here

You also have to be a member of "Amazon Prime"

Wreckheart @ Aug 28th 2007 10:47AM

does anyone know how to share games that have been downloaded with another ps3? I know they said this wouldnt work for warhawk but for other games it does. Any ideas??

EDGE @ Aug 28th 2007 10:58AM

@5

Why would you want to do that ? You don't mean that you want games without paying for them do you ?

mattgreene @ Aug 28th 2007 11:00AM

i am not on prime and have done the b2g1 deal 4 times in the last 24 hours. check the forum link posted above for titles and instructions.

Justin @ Aug 28th 2007 11:02AM

i imagine you would have to go to another ps3 and log into your PSN account, go to "download list" and download from there.

Vosko @ Aug 28th 2007 11:09AM

i dont have a prime account and picked 3 movies i want total was $480 with super save shipping. this is the kind of deal i was waiting for. thanks :)

BK @ Aug 28th 2007 11:13AM

I just bought the PS3 and 3 movies for $478.04 not being an Amazon Prime member. I think you need to be a Prime member to get the 5 movie rebate form.

Andrew Yoon @ Aug 28th 2007 11:18AM

Prime membership is not needed for anything here. Prime just gets you faster shipping for free. Make sure you read everything on the site carefully.

About game sharing:

@8 i tried to log on to the store on my friends ps3 and it was a no go. It said i wasnt allowed.

@6 I know sony themselves have said this is possible for some games. So im not trying to do anything against their policy.

Aziz @ Aug 28th 2007 11:53AM

Damn I just bought mine on Friday...Im calling them to day to see if I can still get it.

Egster @ Aug 28th 2007 11:52AM

It works for every PSN game except Warhawk. Which is understandable being a blu ray title.

Dan @ Aug 28th 2007 11:53AM

The 5 free movies is a separate deal. See http://www.bluraysavings.com/

Wreckheart @ Aug 28th 2007 12:00PM

@ Egster

but how, do i creat a login on my buddies ps3 or what?

CoolGuyVic @ Aug 28th 2007 12:27PM

HELP! I clicked on the link for the "Blu-ray offer" and it just takes me to an HD-DVD offer. Where do I see the selection of Blu-ray movies?

YouFaceTheTick @ Aug 28th 2007 12:39PM

Crap deal. Go to Sony Style, get a Sony Rewards card ($150 off a $300 purchase as sony style) and you can pick up a PS3 for $350 (not including tax) and almost have enough reward points to get another controller. Buy a game at SonyStyle.com and you'll have enough points you can get a controller for free.

You can only redownload stuff for PS3s that are activated under your account. You have to go into account management or whatever it's called to activate the PS3 for your account. I think you can only have 5 PS3s active per PSN account. So your buddy would have to go into his account and deactivate his PS3. Then you log into your account on his PS3 and activate it for you. Then you can redownload games you've bought onto his PS3. I haven't tried it out but that's how it should work.

@ 18

yeah but you have to sign up for some bullshit credit card probably has 20% APR

UltimateNinja9 @ Aug 28th 2007 2:11PM

Wow, now that's a sweet deal! A PS3 and 5 movies for $350!!! Time for me to get a second PS3!!!

Wreckheart @ Aug 28th 2007 3:38PM

Thanks UltimateNinja9 ill give that a try.

YouFaceTheTick @ Aug 28th 2007 5:40PM

Actually, it's 0% for 12 months. And what difference does the apr make if you're paying it off immediately? If you can't pay it off at the end of the billing cycle, you probably shouldn't be buying it.

Coquiyu @ Aug 28th 2007 6:51PM

This offer is really awesome. I bougth my ps3 on december and it cost me $642 including tax. Now my brother buy the same freaking ps3 with 8 additional blu-ray movies for just $473.04. That's pretty nice for my little brother, but at the same time unfair for me. I will go somewhere and cry all day.

YouFaceTheTick @ Aug 28th 2007 7:52PM

Coquiyu,

He coulda had 5 free movies and his PS3 for about $380 including tax via sonystyle.com. 3 BR movies aren't worth $90 to me. They're not even worth $50.

Darko @ Aug 28th 2007 9:08PM

Damnit.... now I have to buy one.... I mean 350 for a PS3 and 5 movies.... some how thats just barely worth it but worth it. And at such a lousy time too... Halo 3 comes out in less than a month. Oh well it can collect dust for a few months until im tired of Halo.
