Tks all for your suggestions! I've been away for a couple of days and haven't caught up. I checked the FedEx tracking page and the estimated delivery date for the player is Wed. 10-15. It shipped from Carson, CA. So I still have a couple of days to "prepare".
I stopped at BB on Thurs. evening and picked-up 4 titles for $87.42 total inc. tax. Ouch (as compared with the "red" titles I was getting quite used to!) but as I mentioned in the OP, I was willing to do this once....or maybe more...!
I am Legend was on sale for $19.99 (was either $29.99 or $34.99, can't recall) and for some reason they knocked another $2.49 off at checkout so I got it for $17.50. There was a save $10 deal if you buy 2 of 4 titles so I got Ironman and Kill Bill 1 for $24.99 ea. that way. And Outbreak was on sale for $14.99 so I grabbed that one as well. The avg. was $21.86 ea. I noted that none of these was in 7.1, and all seemed to have the TrueHD audio as opposed to the DTS HD-MA...
So now I'm looking for a deal on KB2 to finish-out that set, and I think I want the POTC 3-vol. set as well ($70 at BB, too much!)
I already have 2001: SO and the Blade Runner collector's ed. on HD DVD so I probably won't repeat them in BD unless the BD versions have different content...
Tks for all the ideas. It was fun...!!
