"Having another format war over something as important as the first high definition disc format is as stupidly self-destructive for both sides as it is annoying for us punters," the site states.

The package includes a copy of Ang Lee's Hulk movie and Wolfgang Petersen's Troy as well as a voucher that entitles the buyer to another five free discs.
