Ah well then then the "hired help" pulled the wrong one off the shelf or stocked the shelf wrong. They probably didn't know there was a difference? Look at how there CSR are.

I would assume its a Warner problem. The front of the case says HD-DVD, not Combo Format, but contains a combo disc.

I just checked amazon, and both of my 2 orders that shipped so far went by USPS. Although one might not have actually shipped. It just says "carrier notified to pick up shipment" and does not have a location as of yet...

Amazon prime trial is excellent! Ordered Jarhead and Troy yesterday around noon and got them today before noon!!! Even faster than newegg! I'm still not going to sign up for prime permanently though.

Received both dvd's two days after ordering them via free shipping...amazing.

My one order for the b1g1f on hd-dvd has still yet to be shipped. I made the order a few days ago. I guess they're waiting on the company to burn them a copy instead of already having them on hand.

Mine still says shipping on the 17th. No rush but the previous BD order came pretty fast.

Just got my second order. My copy of The Departed is a regular HD and not a combo, so at least one was correct :)

Of the 16 HD DVDs I've ordered, only two are seemingly back-ordered. Flags of Our Fathers and The Polar Express. All other orders shipped within hours of placing the order, which is rare for my orders.

My first and third orders shipped instantly, but my 2nd order is still in limbo. It says it will ship 12/17 though, which is fine (assuming it really ships then). The titles in this order are:
Training Day [HD DVD]
Poseidon [HD DVD]
The Fugitive [HD DVD]
Casino [HD DVD]

However, my 3rd order apparently didn't actually ship. All USPS says is "shipping info received." I guess it won't be delivered on 12/18 like the estimate says...

I think that Casino is the sticky wicket. They pulled that title early and I'm still waiting for that and Unforgiven to ship.

Got my Blue Planet and Departed yesterday. Departed was non-combo. Yay for me.

That exact order is being held up for me as well. It says it will ship on 12/17 so we will see.

I'm in the same boat. Casino and 12 Monkeys. Let's see what the 17th holds.

My order just shipped today (supposedly) via DHL Home. But apparently DHL is slow, since it estimated 12/24 arrival... Well, it's in time for Christmas at least!

We should write in to Amazon to see if they will match the titles at Best Buy. I will send off the first letter.......

My order with Casino and Goodfellas shipped 12/16 today via USPS. Shows expected ship date of 12/21 Fri. I don't see that happening coming before Christmas...

Last time I tried a PM they said they don't PM other sites..

thejester 12-16-07 05:48 PM

Moved to proper thread (Best Buy for Dec 16th-22nd).

Since the span is on $5, then there won't be that much of a savings - not like the sets one a while back.

I noticed this on the receipt I got for my HDs (HP: OOP & Oceans 13). I would go back & return both sets of titles I got, but I used RZ coupons & they won't get credited back to me, so I'm stuck - only out $3 tho'.

RZ certs. get credited back to you if you return.

I recall a long while back (when RZ first started), I had a $20 cert used on a purchase, went to return it (for a reason I forget) and I never got that $20 back. Too much trouble for $3 on my end. But, my observation might help others.

UPDATE: Recieved an email saying mine shipped today. Weird that it shipped on Sunday.

Hmmm...wonder if Knocked Up and Evan Almighty are $19.99 in store too? Anybody know? Could potentially get one of those together with one priced $29.99+ and pay only $19.99 for both.
