Here is to hoping Wal-Mart doesn't mark up their entire Blu-ray collection to $30.01 USD.
That is really funny.

The sad thing is it's still Sony controling the $499 price tag. This is walmart trying to sell the units by giving away the DVD's.
Does any place sell the 80 gig unit cheaper?

damn that will be tempting for anyone interested in a ps3+bluray
but seeing as most people see the ps3 as a GAMING console...
maybe if they gave away 15 GAMES

No doubt, games would be better.
If I'm getting a PS3, I want games, not movies.
Good for those who want it I guess, but for me, this means nothing.

Does the PS3 even HAVE 15 ganes to give away? And would anybody want to play those games?

Where's the deal?
Drop the price of the console instead of trying to sweeten the deal by giving away movies.
the $30.01 comment was great!

Guys... come on... can we not get excited about anything? If I want more games with my system, I'll go to Futureshop where right now I get 3 games with the system + the 5 movie mail in deal with the 80 gig system.
If anyone is gonna give me something free with a new system I'm buying.... and I am buying on in the next 4 to 6 weeks... I'm going to take the best overall deal for me. Do you want $375 worth of bluray disks... or $180 worth of software and $125 worth of bluray movies FREE WITH PURCHASE of a system I wanted and was going to buy anyway.
You can appreciate a deal or complain... I feel like some folks hear could get a below the belt handshake from Jenna Jameson and still say, "I don't like that kind of lotion... come back when you have something with Aloe Vera in it"... Sheesh.

The sale is from Dal-Mart, not from Sony. Even though I am neutral about this hole Sony boicot thing, you Sony haters make me laugh regularly. :)

I would jump on this if I planned on getting a PS3. Take the 15 movies, sell them on Amazon for $15 to $20 a pop. That has the potential of paying for 60% of my console! Or put it toward some wireless controllers and a few games.

I see where you're going with that, and you've got a point. But, if you sell those movies to help pay for the console you've accomplished exactly what i wanted in the first place just in a few more steps.
Sell the console cheaper!

all in all this is a hell of a deal..
and since i dont have a ps3 yet i might have to jump on this one...
right now normal blu-ray players in the first place are from 299-399 still...
so paying an extra hundred dollars for a next-gen gaming machine and 15 bluray movies is a good deal
15x15$=210$
so for all you people being stubborn, i dont know if any of ya'll have actually watched blu-ray flix on a 1080p TV...
it is better than watching people in real life.

They should do this deal in ASDA stores, in the UK. (ASDA was taken over by Walmart).
Then id sell the movies off and save up to buy more games.

Technically these movies aren't "free", look how much the system costs. They can't really include any "free" games since they really don't have that many. They need to focus on quality games and stop making the ps3 a movie machine.
