They honored (and already shipped) The Texas Chainsaw Massacare BD price error....so hurry in on this one!

Remember, they charge before they ship. So you will pay for this item right away even though it does not come out for a few months.

[eatntae]

For $12 after shipping, I'll give it a shot. Thanks Gizmo!

[dsa_shea]

Thanks for the heads up. Sucks I had to pay sales tax though. 12.83 out the door will not be beat.

[trespoochies]

Appreciate the heads up on this Gizmo. For that amount, I'm willing to blind buy this one.

[Brent L]

Don't forget that the first shipment or so comes with both the 2D and 3D version.

[Suprmallet]

I went ahead and ordered it. Even if it sucks, I should be able to resell it for more than $12.

[Jamers]

I picked it up too.

[RoboDad]

Same here. Thanks for the tip!

[PopcornTreeCt]

These deals never happen to movies I want.

[TheMovieman]

Well, I went ahead and ordered one as well.

[ryuryu2949]

Will this be in 3-D?

[dsa_shea]

Will this be in 3-D?

At least the first shipment is supposed to have both 2-D and 3-D. Kind of an expensive marketing ploy if you ask me.

[Goldberg74]

$12.80 shipped ain't bad. That's certainly cheaper than taking my three kids to go see it... which we never did.

:up: to the OP

[butterbean]

I ordered as well. Since we are preordering we will get the 2d/3d versions

[RockStrongo]

Blind buy for me too!

[Sweet Baby James]

Columbia House has it for $27. I'll wait for reviews to see if I want to add it to the collection. I can then pick it up during the next free shipping BOGO sale at CH for $13.50(it's worth the extra $1.50 to me to wait for reviews). Good deal at FV. I'm going to have to start perusing their site more often. Thanks for the heads-up, Gizmo.

[WMAangel]

Even at this low of a price, I cannot in good conscience purchase this title or any other new release that Warner spits out without lossless audio....it shouldn't matter if this is considered by them to be a family film like "Speed Racer" or "Kit Kitteridge" so they think lossy DD is just good enough....this is supposed to be high definition, which means both picture AND sound, and a film like this packed with special effects deserves both so I will have to pass...

[RoboDad]

I just checked the site, and the disc is now their current #1 bestselling title.

I hope they honor it, but I'm sure they aren't going to be too happy about this one. :D

Is it going to be anaglyph 3-D like the Hannah Montana movie then?

[mattysemo247]

Blind buy here too, thanks!

[geocab]

Looks like they fixed their error.

I haven't gotten one yet... knock on wood.

[GizmoDVD]

Can a mod update with DEAD for the topic title

[Suprmallet]

Ask and ye shall receive.

[Moopher]

I actually got in on this deal yesterday almost right away, just never got to mention it. At this price, I can't complain.

[DVD Polizei]

Nice promo, FV. :up:

[Goldberg74]

My card has a pending charge of $12.80... so it looks like the deal stuck! :D

[Jericho]

I just received a package from Family Video, for a DVD version starring Ricky Schroder. I checked my order history just to make sure I ordered the right thing and it's the Blu-Ray version. So be on the lookout.

[Jericho]

Just to follow up on this, I called Family Video and they seem well aware of the problem already. I mentioned I received the wrong disc and the CS guy already knew the title. He said they'll contact everyone about it tomorrow.

Oh man...that title is bad. Really bad. I had to suffer though it...bad acting and slow plot.

Oh well.

[aktick]

Yep, I got it as well. Not a movie I was really interested in anyways, so no big loss.

[Logic 7]

Me to.

[tofferman]

Same here. This would have been my first Blu-Ray, but no big deal.

[RoboDad]

Same here.

[dsa_shea]

They didn't even bother sending me an email to tell me they cancelled my order. I had to check my account to find that out. Nor have they bothered to refund my money to my account either. I'll give them until Monday and then I'm contacting my bank. They shouldn't be charging people upfront in the first place.

[GizmoDVD]

No refund to my account either.

Shocked they didn't honor this as they did with TTCM a month back.

[DVD Polizei]

Hmm. I noticed I haven't been credited, either. Nice.

How can you take the time to process everyone's fucking canceled order but not have the time to process the refund with it.

[GizmoDVD]

So they can enjoy the delicious interest they made of all of our orders?

Bastards!

[RoboDad]

Once again, same here. I don't think I will be taking advantage of their $5 coupon offer...

[GizmoDVD]

They have all those Blu-ray Echo Bridge titles for $8.99...so like $6 or $7 shipped if you use a coupon. Also some Weinstein HD DVD titles cheap. My coupon will wind up ending up in my trash.

[rexinnih]

Got the email also. We'll see on the coupon.

[dsa_shea]

I would like my money back. Next time don't charge until you ship like you're supposed to. Thank you, drive through.

[TheMovieman]

Yeah, I checked my credit card transactions and it's still on there. It might take a couple (business) days, but I went ahead and contacted them just in case to find out about when the refund will be applied.

And I do agree, it's rediculous to charge first before shipping. I knew there was a reason I avoided buying from this site... Oh well.

[Eric D.]

So they honor the TCM error, but not this one? Lame. I don't think I'll use my coupon either.

[marginal]

Just got my copy of this today. I was surprised, since I first received the email saying they sent the wrong title, refunded my original order, and gave me the $5 coupon. Then they sent another email saying to disregard the previous email. Then I got the wrong version in the mail, which I sent back.

Haven't watched it yet, but it does contain both 2-D and 3-D versions (with 4 sets of glasses), as well as a second disc with a digital copy. Quite the deal (especially with the $5 bonus coupon)!

[GizmoDVD]

WTF? That's lame. I was one of the first to get it on the deal. Oh well.

Are the glasses the normal red and blue kind...like the ones included in the Nightmare on Elm Street boxset?

I want to rent it for the 3D but just want to make sure I have the proper glasses.

[TheMovieman]

Edit: I stand corrected (re: HighSpeedOnIce)

[HighSpeedOnIce]

I watched this with the family last night and was pleasantly surprised - in a good, fun way.

The glasses are magenta & green and worked quite well. Images leapt off the screen and reached out well into my living room.

The effect is MUCH better than the Polar Express, (which has red & blue glasses)

[tofferman]

WTF? That's lame. I was one of the first to get it on the deal. Oh well.

I ordered right after you posted this deal GizmoDVD and was cancelled as well. While I am disappointed that some got this filled who ordered after I did, I did receive the $5 coupon and applied it to the Outlaw Josey Wales on dvd (Sept '08 release) for $5 and change shipped.

That's one less thing for me to order during a certain 20% off sale coming up...

I couldn't even find a use for that $5 coupon so I just deleted it.

Uh, oh. My copy shipped from Blockbuster Online, and I was planning on watching it with my existing red/blue glasses that came with Spy Kids 3D DVD a few years ago.

[Suprmallet]

I haven't received any kind of email from Family Video, either saying it was cancelled or shipped. Sent them an email today asking for the status of my order.

I didnt get an email either, but I do see the refund of $12.80 on my account.

[Hammer99]

I forgot I ordered this from Warner as an add-on to get to free shipping.. it was a blast watching this projected on the big screen, stuff was just flying everywhere! But it gave me a bad headache afterwards, my head still hurts today.

I don't know if you saw Hannah Montana 3D on Blu-ray...but is it similar to that (in 3D)? I was nausious after about ten minutes (and not being of the music, but the 3D effects).

I was nausious after about ten minutes (and not being of the music, but the 3D effects).I didn't see Hannah Montana, but no, the 3D here didn't make me sick, it was pretty fun, I was jumping & dodging stuff every minute. But it put a strain on my eyes... I'll definitely check it out again & demo it for others, but I don't know if I'll watch more than 15-20 minutes at a time.
