Hope that is the case with this one as I only got it to check out the 3-D. If I hate the movie, I am sure I can sell it on half.com and get what I paid for it at least.

Amazon only has one listing for the BD and it states it is the "Limited Edition 2-D and 3-D with glasses."

Update: I just used the coupon to Pre-Order the Criterion Collection Blu-ray for Chungking Express. Total came out to $25.12 with shipping and tax. Not an amazing bargain but Criterion stuff rarely goes on sale that much (especially with new titles) and I really love the movie. It was the cheapest way to pre-order it that I've seen so hopefully I made the right decision.
Anyway, I tried to use the coupon again to Pre-Order the Criterion Collection edition of Bottle Rocket on Blu-ray as well but it told me the code was invalid. I'm guessing it's a one time only code that's account specific.

Yeah, got the message on my order. Oh well. I'll wait for it to sell for $9.99 in a few months.

It is bullshit that they charge your card ahead in the first place. If they're going to charge several weeks out from fulfilling then the least they can do is fulfill the order and not cancel it. What's not so say that they don't intentionally put out price errors to get people to order, collect that money and invest it and then cancel closer to release and return said money?

They have yet to refund me as well. Shipping and handling better be covered because otherwise I wouldn't have bothered with Chucky to begin with...

I doubt it's a separate code for each person,that would be a pain in the ass....
I'm guessing it's to be used per account....
If anyone used it already,post it....
FV bumped ALOT of stuff on their site I was about to buy so it would be nice....
