I also mentioned in the post that a high-def surround receiver with speakers is on my list for a future spree when I'm ready to spend more money.

Did you get any, or are you using the TV speakers? If you don't have speakers, how do you listen to music played through the new HD-DVD player in the house, or do you even listen to music in the house? Did you consider buying a home theater computer with HD-DVD? Why, why not? Can you tell that I'm a bit of a Home Theater nut? I don’t see any mention of speakers in this series.

Can you tell that I’m a bit of a Home Theater nut?

However, a commenter on Digg said that they just added the movies and the player to their shopping cart, and the deal was automatically applied. I'm sure if I searched around a little more I could figure out how to get the extra 3. Anyway, just another thing to look into. Good luck!

The rebate requires the original UPC, so I'm not tearing apart the box until I'm sure I won't be returning the player. I can't seem to find Amazon's 3 HD-DVD add-on. Amazon's unadvertised price is $40 less than the price I paid, but I won't be able to get CC to match that without a real advertisement or price listing. Hm. Thanks for the info! I've also registered the product in PriceProtectr, so I'll be alerted of any drop in price. I did get the 5 HD-DVD rebate, although the selection was less than stellar.

Looks like a great way to start building your collection. Hey Flexo,
