Adding 3D into your home can be pretty easy, but it sure isn't cheap. There are quite a few components involved. However, Amazon wants to start your setup off right, by putting you two steps closer to a full 3D system. That's right; two steps.
For a limited time when you buy the Samsung UN55C8000 1080p 3D HDTV, Amazon will throw in a free Samsung BD-C5900 Blu-ray 3D player. That's certainly a nice little freebie, but it's not that only way you'll save on this package deal. Amazon has the TV listed at $2046.98, which is $1453.01 off the list price. When all is said, done and purchased, you'll save a whopping $1683 on this package, which also includes free shipping.
Aside from the 3D, the UN55C8000 features a 1080p image, a 240Hz Clear Motion Rate, a Game Mode, and Samsung's own Touch of Color in the bezel. Our own Chris Chiarella reviewed this 3D TV last year and said, "The UN55C8000 is certainly a shining example of the current state of the art in TV features and technology."

It's also important to note that this set provides a ton of alternative entertainment. Of course, to get the 3D, you will need to add in Samsung 3D glasses or even Samsung's 3D Starter Kit, which includes two pairs of glasses, three Shrek Blu-ray 3D titles, and a mail-in coupon for a Blu-ray 3D of Shrek Forever After. Until you get that, hook up a thumb drive or digital camera to one of the set's two USB ports, and use the ConnectShare Movie feature to access videos, music and pictures all through the included remote.
If you don't have an Ethernet connection near the TV area, you might want to save one of those USB ports for Samsung's optional WIS09ABGN LinkStick Wireless LAN Adapter. This allows the UN55C8000 to connect to your home's wireless network. Either way, that connectivity is very important, allowing you to access on-screen apps such as Netflix, Amazon Video on Demand, YouTube, Pandora, Facebook, Twitter, and much more.
To get the Blu-ray 3D player for free, you'll need to add both the UN55C8000 3D TV and the BD-C5900 Blu-ray 3D player to your shopping cart. You will see the savings (and free shipping) reflected before you check out. Find out more about getting this player for free on Amazon's main deal page:
To get all of the above discounts, you'll need to purchase both of these items directly from Amazon and not any of its third-party merchants. And do that soon! This offer is only good through February 19, 2011 or while Amazon's supplies last.
