Home theater fans in the UK will have something to be happy about this holiday season with Venturer making its low cost SHD1000 HD DVD player even more attractive. The player is already packaged with a free HDMI cable and the HD DVD films Troy and Hulk.

The player will now include a voucher that allows customers to get five more HD DVD movies free via the European HD DVD Promotional Group. The deal sounds very much like what Toshiba does here in America. The Venturer player will be available exclusively through QVC in the UK starting on December 29th at an undisclosed price.

"We're committed to ensuring that the HD DVD is the best value format for consumers and as such, we're delighted to be able to offer an amazing five disc free campaign to the Venturer HD DVD player promotion on QVC. With this new initiative, we're giving people who love movies another incredibly affordable way to experience the amazing sound, picture and exciting interactive features of HD DVD while helping them get their HD DVD movie collections off to a flying start with a fantastic line-up of titles," said a spokesperson of the European HD DVD Promotional Group.
