If you can show me where you can get blu-ray discs for free then I WILL BUY YOUR
ARGUMENT,
Doesnt matter what the price is for the movies and the player seperately, what matters is the outlay for the whole package
No, it doesn't "reduce the price of your inital outlay". You PAY $399 + tax.

Send in coupon, and get 5 movies. Total cash outlay $399 + tax.

Now, if they sent you 5 FREE movies, and $100 cash, THEN your "total cash outlay" would be $300 and 5 movies.

This is why "Buy $100 of goods and get $25 off works so well." Consumers "spend more, to SAVE more" Its a marketing ploy, and it works pretty good.
