Blu-ray.com and MGM Home Entertainment are offering three lucky Blu-ray.com members the opportunity to win a copy of Platoon, the harrowing, Academy Award-winning war film from director Oliver Stone starring Charlie Sheen, Tom Berenger, Willem Dafoe and Forest Whitaker, among others. The film not only took home a Best Picture Oscar , it earned Stone a Best Director win. Its Blu-ray debut arrives Tuesday, May 24th.
Blu-ray.com members can earn two separate entries in the contest:
To earn one entry in the giveaway, simply participate in the Classic War Films Poll located in the Forum. (There are no right or wrong answers.)

Winners will be asked to provide a valid mailing address as well, but their personal information will not be shared or retained in any way. Maintaining our membership's privacy is of the utmost importance. The contest will close on Tuesday, May 24th at 11:59pm EST, and three randomly selected winners will be contacted soon thereafter.
MGM has provided the following two film clips and mini-featurette as well:
I wish these giveaways would determine a winner the day before the release instead of the day of, in case they chose me I would rather not be on my way to purchase the film.
Thanks BD.com for showing once again why you are one of the best sites on the net!
Really glad to see MGM is keeping the iconic cover art of Willem Dafoe... I would have been really upset if that wasn't used for the BD cover art... NICE...
On a related note... I have the UK version of this and was VERY disappointed with the picture quality. It's one of those discs where you have to go and look at your DVD copy to check that it is indeed an improvement (Good, Bad, Ugly, I'm looking at you!).
The extras are great if you didn't buy the double dip on DVD but the transfer is lacklustre, so be warned if you don't win this great giveaway.
@img eL: You don't need to be a Facebook member to enter the contest. Simply enter the giveaway by participating in the "Platoon Giveaway" poll in the Forum. No Facebook required
