Seriously, it still seems like a pretty strong deal. I did a bizrate and cnet review search and the cheapest the 35 pulls up across the internet is around $240 (unless from a refurbish site) and that is without getting the four Blu-Ray movie titles. Even if you don't like the blue-ray selection they are offering, you can sell the blu-rays on ebay and make back even more of your money.
Amazon doesn't charge tax to me for my state. I wanted all the movies I got in the BB deal though versus only wanting one and liking the 2nd of the 4 with 2 not being nothing but filler titles for the deal. The four BD movies I got were:

I-Robot
Wall-E - 2 disc set
Crimson Tide
Ironman - Ultimate 2 disc edition

I actually wanted all 4 of these and they were in my cart for a while waiting for a good price, and it was a 10 minute drive. I LOVE to negotiate, so it was actually fun to do that and turned out to be a win/win for me.

No question this Amazon deal is the best deal I could find right now which is WHY I ordered it before going to pickup the online purchase from BB. I was actually surprised that they took my deal, but as I said, they probably checked my rewards account and saw I buy a lot from them, which could have made the difference.

Anyway, do not forget to submit the rebate form from the Panasonic site to get those 2 other BD titles for free that I mentioned.
