Raise your hand if you want to take Best Buy for a ride! The big box retailer are currently offering a free copy of Heroes: Season 1 on HD-DVD when you purchase the Xbox 360 HD-DVD add-on. Additionally, they're also offering seven free HD-DVDs (two in the store, five by mail) with the purchase of any HD-DVD player. Hey, the Xbox 360 HD-DVD add-on is an HD-DVD player!

Since that second deal says any you can put these two deals together though they won’t like it. I got it to work today by doing a moderate amount of bitching and a call to 1-888-Best-Buy and they had to honor it.
To sum up, that's $179.99 for an Xbox 360 HD-DVD add-on with a free boxed set of televisions most popular show, as well as seven other free HD-DVDs. Wait, make that eight free HD-DVDs -- the add-on still ships with Peter Jackson's King Kong. This is one deal that I think a "moderate amount of bitching" might be worth.
[Thanks twesterm and skankerzero!]

I'm down for Babel and Full Metal Jacket, nothing else excites me.
That was funny! MMmmm Good!
@ whiteboy - does your mum read destructoid? :)
I like how you said MGS and Final Fantasy will make Blu-Ray the winner. We all know those who want Gilmore Girls collectors in HD are hardcore Solid Snake fans as well.
This is such a good deal, but I don't know about it. The format war is bullshit. I may buy on the basis of it costing $75 with that Heroes thrown in.
However, if you bought lets say 7 new release DVDs, average that out to $20 - 25 a piece, that still comes out to $140 - $175, which is worth more than what you paid for the HD-DVD player.
Bullshit in-store only garbage.
Yeah, I had the same thing happen. We went round and round, and the lady actually told me "that's double-dipping. You can't double-dip." Sure.
I wasn't that salty though, cause a)it's Heroes for free and b)I got my HD-DVD add-on eight days ago but I still got the free Heroes deal, since I had my receipt.
Man, I feel like an Gluteus Maximus not knowing that my 360 could play dvds. Guess I gotta go get Hot Fuzz for my 360 now, BWAHAHA!!
Ill just sell heroes for Transformers or something
Now, if you buy the XBox 360 AND the HD-DVD add-on... well, that's different.
In my local Best Buy AD it was on Page 20 that states ANY HD DVD Player. Because there are no other stipulations listed on the AD most of the Best Buys should honor the deal. Like I said earlier it worked for me.

I ended up getting the deal as well as a 50 dollar gift card as an apology for the poor store service!
So I got the whole deal for basically 130 dollars.
It's in the computer at my store in Montgomery, AL, so it's probably in all of them. Everything was automatic. Soooo sexy. :p

Poor legitimate Heroes Season 1 DVD ebay sellers.
