I ordered the one with the longer runtime. Unfortunately, when the shipping notice came, they said they're sending me the fullscreen version. Now I have to figure out how to get them to send me the one I ordered.

Re: Hollywood video 8 for 20 on PV DVDs

Yep.. I also got the Sleepwalking dvd and not blu.. but i'm not going to get bent over it. They also sent me the "full screen" version of Saw IV..

but due to their screw up on the order I also got the Unrated WS version of Saw IV.. Overall i'm satisfied with the order.. Most of the cases were in good shape. Only 2 previously viewed stickers. and all the discs were in decent shape. I only one had minor scratches.

Re: Hollywood video 8 for 20 on PV DVDs

I got my order today and it was...ok. I had to "clean up" the discs myself if you know what I mean. There was a lot of dust too but they're good. Oh, and Mirrors ended up being the "exclusive" DVD with no special features at all. Ugh.

Re: Hollywood video 8 for 20 on PV DVDs

Mine were dusty as well. One or two discs look questionable so I may have to view those ones soon. The big issue with the order I had was that Sleepwalking wasn't the Blu-ray. I'm going to have to contact them about that issue. Otherwise, it was a pretty good order.

Re: Hollywood video 8 for 20 on PV DVDs

Thought some of you might enjoy reading this e-mail I just sent to their Customer Service:

For Hollywood Video Customer Service:


My name is Neil Lumbard, and I recently placed an order (#order-number) on the Hollywood Video website which contained a previously viewed copy of Sleepwalking on Blu-ray. To my dismay the copy I received in the mail today was the DVD edition. I would like to set-up an exchange with a pre-paid shipping label for me to send back Sleepwalking and for a correct copy of the Blu-ray to be sent to me. However, I would like to point out that I have heard from others who ordered the Sleeping Blu-ray online that they have also received the DVD edition instead. There may be a problem with the item listing (even though it clearly states Blu-ray and shows the Blu-ray cover art). If the Blu-ray edition cannot be honored as ordered, I believe the proper action for Hollywood Video to take is to refund me the cost of the lone DVD ($2.50) and let me keep the DVD edition an apology for this error (which is actually false advertising if the item cannot be delivered as ordered).

I would also like to take this moment to point out that I have heard from others who ordered DVD's on the Hollywood Video website that the item listed as Orson Welles 'Stranger' in the Clearance section is not being sent out to those who ordered it. Instead, these customers are receiving a copy of the 2008 Liv Tyler horror film 'The Strangers'. I believe a correction and potential refund needs to be in place for this item listing and the customers who have already ordered it.

Thank you for taking the time to address this issue with my order, and for all other Hollywood Video customers who have faced similar dilemmas with ordering these items online.

With Best Regards,
Neil Lumbard

Note: This is their customer service e-mail, if you want to send an e-mail of your own: help@websales.hlyw.com

Let us know what you hear, Neil. I too got the Sleepwalking DVD, not the Blu-ray as I ordered. However, my shipping manifest shows the DVD.

Re: Hollywood video 8 for 20 on PV DVDs

Got me response. They didn't even mention the Stranger DVD issue I brought up.

Dear Neil,
I apologize for all the major inconvenience that you had experienced due to receiving the wrong edition of your order. We were unable to locate a copy of the correct edition to send to you. Because of this error on our part and the inconvenience and grief that we had caused you, we have issued a refund to your account for the incorrect item. Please let me know if there is anything else to make up for this awful experience.Thank you and have great day!

Pamela
Hollywood Web Sales

Note: I still don't see a refund for the DVD, but it may still be processing.

Don't give up hope. Their facility is about 10 miles from my house and it still took almost a week after I received the shipping notice to get my order.

BTW, the Zodiac widescreen that I ordered, the one the shipping email said was going to be fullscreen, turned out to be widescreen after all. I don't know what the error was or how many of them there were, but it turned out all right in the end.

Re: Hollywood video 8 for 20 on PV DVDs

Received my order today, all disc were in very good condition save for some dust.

The only mistake was that I received the FS version of Fracture instead of the WS, so hopefully I can go into a Hollywood Video and switch it out.

Re: Hollywood video 8 for 20 on PV DVDs

So does this deal only apply to the "Clearance" DVD's or the "Used" ones as well?

Also to anyone who has ordered "Used" DVD's off the site, did everything come with full artwork?
