Re: Blockbuster.com - All previously viewed HD-DVD’s - $7.99 each
Just got off the phone with customer service, they charged my card, they don't have an estimate on when they can fulfill my order. They are not willing to give a refund and have no ability to cancel or track the order internally. I am going to file a dispute report with my credit card company and get a refund. These guys suck bigtime!

Thats why I do not buy used titles anymore. You don't know what you are going to be receiving and most of the time it is disappointing.

Mine came in pretty scratched but they all played just fine. FOr a while that's all I bought was used. Most of my collection has been purchased used. Although there is the ocassional klinker it really wasn't any more of a problem than the ocassional bad new disc.

Ordered 12/19, shipment e-mail 12/23, arrived yesterday 1/09 on the same day the CSR supervisor emailed me saying my only options at this point would be to cancel the "pending" order for refund, or wait for them to ship out my order. wtf? OK, you run such a sloppy organization? "Cancel" my order, and give me my refund. LOL.
If you are that inept, I have no problems taking advantage of you.
I will say this tho, I will never order from them again.

They finally started to send me shipping confirmations on my HD-DVD's that I was still waiting for. I just thought I'd give any of you a heads up if your still waiting.

I started getting shipping confirmations for order placed on 12/24. I guess they finally located the dumpster that had these HD-DVDs. I am not ordering anything from them in the future.

Yeah, they finished shipping me the rest of the HD-DVD's I placed in one large order. There was around eight of them and it seems like they will be coming in three different packages. I am still waiting on one single order I placed for a single HD-DVD, but now that the rest has shipped I expect it won't take them that long to get this title out to me as well.
I am finally starting to feel as though I can rest easy! Now I just hope the titles arrive in good condition. Generally speaking, I have not had problems with them. However, if any of these arrive without the proper cover art I am going to request either a return or exchange. I hope that they all arrive in their original cases as well.

One email said I was going to be credited, and another recent one said I was going to be shipped a replacement. Kinda odd. Just waiting to see what happens first...

Re: Blockbuster.com - All previously viewed HD-DVD’s - $7.99 each
I just want to post about my 2 orders.
Overall I'm happy with Blockbuster used hd-DVD.
The good
--Order about 40+ HD(only 2 where missing artwork and not in HD-DVD case)
--fast shipping,lots of blue bags with 2 or 3 movies in each.
--Refunded my shipping cost on first order with one call to CS..over $25 saved.I was nice they were nice.
--I think each movie came out to be about $5.50.
The bad
--I wish they cleaned the discs before they sold them.
I know Hollywood(in-store) does this to most of their PV movies.
Happy camper.. :-))

Re: Blockbuster.com - All previously viewed HD-DVD’s - $7.99 each
Ordered four titles (Into the Wild, Corpse Bride, Shaun of the Dead, and Eyes Wide Shut)...only one Ive tried so far was EWS...skipped forward to "the good part" to verify it was indeed the uncensored version and let it play for it bit...freezes up during the scene when Tom Cruise gets called out for being where he shouldnt. Thing is, it really doesnt look that scratched, less so than the others anyhow...really makes me wonder if they are ok, but you never know unless you watch absolutely everything on the disc.

Hopefully my discs are all okay. Anyway, they shipped nine titles to me in the past few days. Unfortunately, the last one they did not... they canceled it. And it was one I really wanted. I guess I'll have to buy The Last Samurai somewhere else.

Forgot to post the status on my little order.
I was completely expecting to receive a copy of Zodiac in one or two standard-size DVD boxes with Blockbuster rental coverart. If they were to have sent just the discs and the original HD-DVD sized artwork inside of the normal retail package, I would've been jazzed and used a spare case I have shoved in the closet. My, how I was pleasantly surprised when I opened my little blue envelope to find Zodiac in its original case with both discs in awesome condition (a very light ding here and there, but hey, they ARE used).

Got all except 1 from my order. All with original artwork, 2 cases are cracked but the discs are in pretty good condition, minor to no scratches. My last disc from the order says "Unable to cancel". Hopefully they will ship it within this year.

Received The Invasion today.
I have to admit, Blockbuster is following up on their replacements. It takes a little time, but they are doing it.

Re: Blockbuster.com - All previously viewed HD-DVD’s - $7.99 each
ordered 9 movies little over 2 weeks ago. received 8 of them in 3 different shipments. im happy with my purchase as all my movies came with original case/artwork and probably half of them had light scratches while the others were mint. only thing im upset about is my matrix reloaded got canceled and now im stuck with an incomplete series. gonna be tough finding it for a decent price.

I joined the free trial so I got 10 % plus the holiday coupon 30% off, so I got each HD-DVD for around 5 bucks or so, pretty good deal.
