Which deal is the better deal greatly depends on what's being purchased, how much money you have, and whether having two of something is better than having one.
If I buy a chicken sandwhich at half the regular price, then that's good. On the other hand, getting two for the price of one might not be that good of a deal since I only wanted one chicken sandwhich to begin with and simply end up throwing the other away.
If I go into a store with twenty dollars, with the intention of buying a certain DVD, I might pounce on the two-for-one deal since I like getting a lot of DVDs. Getting half off is nice, but getting half off of two is better in this case.
It's all relative.
