The battle between HD DVD and Blu-ray is still sizzling hot! After Toshiba slashed off the price on their HD-DVD movie player, Sony is also making their own gimmick in order to bring the Blu-ray closer to the market. How would you feel receiving a FREE Blu-ray player? I’m pretty sure you’d love that. In a promotion flyer from Sony, a $400 rebate will be given once you purchase an LCD TV/Blu-ray player package. This promo is only applicable to selected TV models and these are the 46” KDL-46V3000, 46” KDL-46W3000 and the 52” KDL-52W3000. The Blu-ray model offered by Sony is the BDP-S300.

And it is not just Sony that has this kind of promotion. Sharp likewise offers free Blu-ray to those who purchase Aquos D64-series LCD TV. Upon purchase you can take home the BD-HP20U for free. That’s already a great offer since the player alone already costs $500.

And to make the deal sweeter, there’s an added bonus on the promo for the Blu-ray. It also comes with 5 free movies! So, you now have the TV, a free player and movie, just the perfect ingredient for a relaxing day.
