  I forgot that Sony did this promotion..well now that kinda sux for the new 40gb PS3 that comes with Spider-man 3...cuz if ppl purchase that model then they'd be getting 6 Blu-ray movies and still no game. Well just play it smart and surely stores like Bestbuy will offer a free game along with the new PS3 for this holiday.

  Make sure whatever you pick it's not a BD+ Blu-ray movie.
  
  There's a lot of people complaining they are not working properly with their players now that BD+ has appeared.

  Nobrainer, I was responding to hugjar. BD+ worked fine, took 10 to 15 seconds longer to load up. "best picture ever" = Silver Surfer looks great. Awsome detail

  That's nice that they're renewing this deal... But I participated in the initial deal and I've been waiting now 8 weeks for my 5 free blu-ray movies... nothing. And the damn place is only an hour away from me where I send the offer to. Pisses me off.

But If its used does it create other problems?
  
  I have a USA model and live in (Pal) NZ, cant buy BD discs here and have to import them all.
