I have never ordered the previously viewed. They shipped me one last sale instead of a used one and it was in a regular dvd case.

Site is down again

Have you seen their prices?

Why would you have to "wade through colossally undesirable titles" when there is a search bar? Gohastings isn't forcing you to check their entire inventory for the select few titles you may want. I'm not even sure what to make of this complaint. This company only sells Leatherheads and 10,000 B.C., they did not make the movies. Should they start only selling titles you feel are worthy?
To tell you the truth I wish there were more people that felt the way you do. Then I could have gotten all the titles I wanted that are now OOS.

Ouch that blows. I'll probably return any that aren't in their original cases then.

here is a pic of my haul from the last couple of sales.


and here are the ones that were wrong versions


I reordered them on the second order and got the correct versions.

I ordered 29 this time and added to those, I have avg. about $7.00 each.

Not all of us hit these sales with only certain titles in mind. I, for one, use sales like this to upgrade my existing library from SD to BD. At present, my library contains upwards of 750 titles (yeah, I know, a miniscule amount compared to some here), roughly 80% of which are still SD. This necessitates wading through the sales, and on most DVD sites, this is not a problem - more like the modest effort that often results in good deals, because items that aren't in-stock aren't listed and once an item is in your cart and/or purchased, it's not going to simply evaporate and leave you with an "oops! our bad!" email from the seller. On GoHastings' site, however, with their lack of real-time inventory control, it is a frustration beyond measure. In this day and technological age, there's simply no excuse to display items that aren't even in stock, let alone pulling items out of a customer's cart because they've magically gone out of stock while the customer was busy perusing the site's (alleged) inventory. To then allow an order to go through only to cancel all or a portion of it later on because those precious few items that were supposedly in-stock at the time of purchase also disappeared from stock between the time of purchase and fulfillment... well, that's just flat-out absurd and incredibly poor business practices. One can only hope their crappy way of doing business will soon backfire on them.

Arrgh!!!!

Site is down yet again and most of blu's I was interested in seem to have been picked off as well. Looks like I may still be able to get a few movies I was looking for, provided the site ever makes it back up again.

In response to Dino, the search bar for individual titles did not work for me for twenty minutes today, after which I gave up on the entire plan of finding anything. No matter what title I entered into the search it came up with the page saying that they were working on the page and/or that the system was not operating properly.

If you are happy with their wholly antiquated search system, so be it. As far as I'm concerned, there are sites with better search engines and take up less of my time, which equals the amount of money I might be saving at Hastings.

As for not knowing what to make of my complaint about undesirable titles, since I couldn't use the search feature as it was intended and was unable to only seek out titles I wanted, I stand by my bitch/moan regarding the total blu shit they had in this sale, while fully and politely acknowledging that my shit may be someone else's caviar.

The search function is not working properly now because the site is down. This happens to all major sites when they are flooded with this many people. Do you honestly think it's like this all the time? You can visit plenty of different sites as we speak whose search function is working just fine. The reason for that being they are not having this good of a sale. Let's see Best Buy have a $5 BD sale and see how long that site lasts.

ProfessorEcho

It isn't only the glitches of today, I've had troubles with that site countless times and in general feel their search technology is very, very sub-standard and primitive. There have been discussions on this in the past over at the SD forum. But suffice to say we can agree to disagree and move on.

And also suffice to say, BWSMOM, we can agree to agree. How lucky BW must be to have such a perceptive Mom.

Guys, these are BLU-RAYS. They have scratch resistant surfaces, meaning the chances of you getting one in bad condition is FAR less than getting a dvd from GoHastings in bad condition. So far I've ordered 10 used from them and out of that 100% were in "like new" condition.

Also, I was seconds from completing my order when the site went offline. That's irritating.

DarthVong

The site is really pissing me off. I can view listing but when I click on an individual title I get a system error..LMAO

Mr. Foo

As has been mentioned above, move your cursor over the item picture until "quick view" comes up. If you click this, the item will be added to your cart.

DarthVong

Thanks. Now if I could just find something that was In Stock!!!

Not sure about everyone else, but I was finally able to place an order and picked up the following:

Ghost Rider Used - Blu-ray $3.44
G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra Previously Viewed - Blu-ray $8.63
The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian Previously Viewed - Blu-ray $5.34
Superman/Batman: Public Enemies Used - Digital Video Disc (DVD) $5.27
X-Men Used (Slim Case) - Digital Video Disc (DVD) $2.63
The Dark Knight Used - Digital Video Disc (DVD) $0.999999999998

Although not all Blu-Ray's I didn't think the overall price of $29.30 was too bad after shipping was included. Would have loved to have added Stargate, BSG: The Plan, Green Lantern: First Flight and Star Wars: The Clone Wars to the cart, but all of these were already OOS. BTW - If you purchase 3 used DVD's, the third (of equal or lesser value) will be added to the cart for a $1.

I actually feel a little guilty that I was able to get in all those orders early this morning. Usually I'm in the boat of always arriving late for these sales and the choice Blu-rays being sold out so my luck finally came through (although I am pretty sure I'm going to have quite a few cancellations)

You would think that if they are having such a big sale as this then they must have a lot of product on hand that they want to get rid of fast. But it looks like, overall, they don't have much inventory which is very strange.

GenPion

Now the website says its under maintenance. I just got off work and haven't gotten to partake in this sale yet. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let it still be up there once the site is up and running again!

foofighters7

shittiest site ever.

If your site is THIS bad, give it up, Freakin Upgrade!

foofighters7

everything that was good is gone. Your out of luck on this one...unless you are all about blu-ray and will buy bad movies just cause they are cheap.

GenPion

They just upgraded/improved the site a few months ago.

foofighters7

hahaha, that is very sad!

did they upgrade it with toothpicks and bubblegum?

GenPion

All I'll say is the new website is a huge improvement... I dislike the main page though! I don't like how it's slanted.

Finally got in an order right after the last time the site went down and came back up:

Eagle Eye Previously Viewed - Blu-ray $5.06
The International Previously Viewed - Blu-ray $3.75
Batman: Gotham Knight Used - Blu-ray $4.31
The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep Used - Blu-ray $4.43
Justice League: The New Frontier Previously Viewed - Blu-ray $4.41
State of Play Previously Viewed - Blu-ray $6.35

Tried to put in a second order for another 6 discs, but by the time I had selected the 6th, 4 of them were out of stock. Among these were cinematic gems like Streets of Blood and The Thaw (direct-to-video flicks with Val Kilmer) so it would seem that people are just buying anything at this point (my excuse is that Kilmer is my favorite actor).

But, I can't complain. The prices were fantastic, and I'm pleased with the titles I was able to get.

Now I just need to buy a blu-ray player.
