Where ever you get one if you go this route make sure you can get an extended warranty. Not because they have problems or anything, but because it's an expensive piece of gear (compared to the nowadays disposable DVD player prices). Piece of mind is always worth it if you ask me. Definitely stay away from the 40GB version.
Also here's the list of the five free offer you get to pick from-
Category 1
- The Prestige
- Wild Hogs
- Pirates of the Carribean:
- Curse of the Black Pearl
Category 2
- Swordfish
- Superman: The Movie
- Full Metal Jacket
Category 3
- Stir of Echoes
- American Psycho
- The Devil's Rejects
Category 4
- The Patriot
- S.W.A.T.
- Ultraviolet
Category 5
- Chain Reaction
- Omen 666
- Flight of the Phoenix
- Species
- Hart's War
- The Last Waltz
Just like the HD DVD free movie offers, not many good ones listed.
Also and not now, but if you decide on a PS3, add this to your list of future items... I like the My Book drives, but any USB 2 external drive will work. These are great for storing your TV Episode DVDs all in one spot or movie trilogies, things like that, and it's like using a DVR in that respect- Just navigate to what you want to watch and click play.
Oh, it upconverts these video files as well...
