Woah, that's pretty nice. Might have to try this.

Re: 25% off Previewed Blu-rays & DVDs @ gohastings.com
 

OK, I wasn't going to bite on this sale but I did. We'll see how it goes. What I'm really waiting for is a REAL used BD sale.

22 Blus and 5 CDs for $167 shipped. Not bad.

Re: 25% off Previewed Blu-rays & DVDs @ gohastings.com
 

I picked up some of the HD DVD rentals from BB when the format went under. For the price I paid I really don't care about them being rentals. One was pretty scratched up but I eventually cleaned it up to where it would play glitch free. I don't watch extras so all I care about is the case and the ability to play without freezing.

[QUOTE]I bought Avatar PV for $11.87 on Monday. Received it today. It was only the single disc "rental exclusive" version.

I called gohastings, and they're going to send me the full Blu-Ray+DVD 2 disc set (new, not previously viewed) and are asking me to mail back the rental exclusive version I got today (using their prepaid shipping label). They'll send the new discs to me ASAP, before receiving my return.

Great customer service.

when I called about my percy jackson they let me keep the rental copy as well, and i just received the combo pack of percy jackson today as well :)

Re: 25% off Previewed Blu-rays & DVDs @ gohastings.com
 

Got Where the Wild Things Are in the mail yesterday with a big 'RENTAL COPY' right on the front cover. Guess I'm going to have to call and try to get a replacement.

Re: 25% off Previewed Blu-rays & DVDs @ gohastings.com
 

I wonder how long they will keep replacing "previously viewed" with a "used" disc?

Re: 25% off Previewed Blu-rays & DVDs @ gohastings.com
 

i called yesterdaay about 5 lus being rentals but they wouldnt send me the 2 disc versions:( so they are sending me a label to send them back for a full refund.

Re: 25% off Previewed Blu-rays & DVDs @ gohastings.com
 

This might be too much to ask but maybe a list can be compiled of which say Rental Exclusive. I know my copy of The Wrestler had it in the front.

Re: 25% off Previewed Blu-rays & DVDs @ gohastings.com
 

has the code expired already?

i couldn't put my order, and i chose "previously viewed" blu ray.

Re: 25% off Previewed Blu-rays & DVDs @ gohastings.com
 

They gave me the same line minutes ago, but I told them I had heard you could exchange it for a non-rental copy. Then I said there was no indicationg that I was buying a rental. The lady was super nice, said she'd send me out the blu + dvd, and to keep the one I already have. Whoa!

Re: 25% off Previewed Blu-rays & DVDs @ gohastings.com
 

Been dead for a few days now.

Re: 25% off Previewed Blu-rays & DVDs @ gohastings.com
 

ahh too bad. thanks

Re: 25% off Previewed Blu-rays & DVDs @ gohastings.com
 

Mine have "rental copy" labels around the donut hole fo the disc. The discs themselves look pretty pristine. I can see them replacing crapped up discs with new replacements but I think asking for a replacement solely on the fact that this was a rental is a little too demanding. If the disc plays fine, looks fine, and comes in a regular case, does it really matter if it was a rental compared to just used?

Re: 25% off Previewed Blu-rays & DVDs @ gohastings.com
 

It should matter at least if it is advertised as BD + DVD.

Re: 25% off Previewed Blu-rays & DVDs @ gohastings.com
 

I ordered Invictus and Percy Jackson and received rental copies of both (single discs) so I called to ask about the discrepancy between what I received and what it was advertised (2 discs). The nice lady I talked to just credited me back for those two. On the other hand, I also ordered Green Zone and it arrived as a single disc but I didn't complain as it was not advertised as 2 discs on their website. :shrug: I guess I can now wait for the 3 disc Percy Jackson version to go down to $10 before i buy it (as a gift, of course). ;)

Re: 25% off Previewed Blu-rays & DVDs @ gohastings.com
 

True, if advertised as 2 discs you should get both. I was under the impression people were ordering used but then complaining it was a rental copy. A complaint that I felt was unwarranted. But at all times you should get all the discs advertised.

Re: 25% off Previewed Blu-rays & DVDs @ gohastings.com
 

i think the difference was that i wanted them to send me the 2 discs ones for all 5 of mine and you only had one.

Re: 25% off Previewed Blu-rays & DVDs @ gohastings.com
 

I am waiting to see what comes for "Sherlock Holmes" which is supposely a 2 Disc, one a dvd. I got 2 discs for Transporter 3 but second is digital download which was useless with no code insert.

Re: 25% off Previewed Blu-rays & DVDs @ gohastings.com
 

Man, where was this kind of rational thinking when there was the big sale at MovieGallery.com :D2: Some over there were like, just because it states it has that many disc(s) does not mean you should expect to get it. You are getting from a rental place, so you should not expect to get it was their rationale. And obviously as some have said here then it should not be listed that way. Too funny.

Re: 25% off Previewed Blu-rays & DVDs @ gohastings.com
 

I ordered Sherlock Holmes during their Buy 2 Get 1 for $1 sale and received a one-disc copy with "Rental" on the cover and the disc. Called them up to ask about it, and the person I talked to had me send back my copy and sent me a new(!) copy.

Re: 25% off Previewed Blu-rays & DVDs @ gohastings.com
 

Got all my titles today, and none were rental copies. One didn't have the digital copy, but who needs that? Appaloosa came in a DVD case, but the sleeve is in there, so I can easily transfer it over to a Blu-ray case.

Re: 25% off Previewed Blu-rays & DVDs @ gohastings.com
 

Here is my email to the company:

Dear: gohasting.com

I placed my first order with your company at the recommendation of a fellow movie lover.

But I have to say I am very disappointed on the products received!!
(1) No where in the "Pre-View" disc listing state that these items were "RENTAL EXCLUSIVE COPIES"!!
The covers are different than the retail versions!
"The Crazies" cover has a "White Stripe" where it says "Bluray + Digital Copy" not the "BluRay" Blue Stripe

[ Rental image: http://images2.blu-ray.com/movies/co...518_medium.jpg ]
http://images2.blu-ray.com/movies/co...518_medium.jpg


"Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief" it has a gold stripe across the bottom which says "RENTAL EXCLUSIVE"

(2) I feel that at least one of the items received, I did not receive all of the product as listed on your web site:
http://www.gohastings.com/product/MO.../280361521.uts
Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief
Previously Viewed - Blu-ray [2 Discs] [Includes Digital Copy] [Blu-ray/DVD]
With "Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief" I did not receive the "Digital Copy or the DVD" as advertised & listed on your web site! I only received the single Blu-Ray disc!

Re: 25% off Previewed Blu-rays & DVDs @ gohastings.com
 

well, it looks like my Sherlock Holmes was a Rental only copy which was on disc and cover art. I called them and they will send another copy out with the dvd. They just told me to keep the rental.

I'll see what I get.

Re: 25% off Previewed Blu-rays & DVDs @ gohastings.com
 

I'll bet that for the next sale, Gohastings.com will clearly indicate that "previously viewed" means "former rental copy"

Re: 25% off Previewed Blu-rays & DVDs @ gohastings.com
 

I think that should be assumed with those prices. They cancelled my order for Duplicity. No big deal but for $4 i wouldn't mind owning that.

Re: 25% off Previewed Blu-rays & DVDs @ gohastings.com
 

You would think but I doubt it. It's not like this is the first time they've had this sale and had these issues. They act as if they don't care.
