Unless it is a temporary glitch (doubt it), that appears to be the case. DAMN IT

Unless they were so overwhelmed with Blu-ray orders that they are taking a break until they can re-stock (wishful thinking on my part).

Or maybe they were just testing the waters.

Re: Blu-Ray Enrollment Titles?

I don't know what to tell you guys. I just successfully processed an application for the following Blu-rays-


Red Hill
Easy A
Broken Embraces
The White Ribbon
Nanny McPhee
The Strangers
Once Upon a Time in Mexico


All titles were listed as in stock with the lone exception of The Strangers.

Try a different browser. The Blu-rays are there for me on AOL, but not on Google Chrome.

Are you sure your getting the blu-ray version and not the DVD version? When I search for those title in a browser with no CH cookies most of them show up as the DVD version available for enrollment with no link for the "also available in blu-ray", and a couple do show up as blu-ray but says Members Only but when I click the DVD version it is available.

EDIT: I'm using Firefox with the cookie for my current account deleted.

Re: Blu-Ray Enrollment Titles?

They are indeed the Blu-rays(I'm not quite that feebleminded just yet). The strange thing is that the Blu-rays were gone this morning when I was on AOL. Now they are back. I just saw that a poster over at blu-ray.com also has them showing up for him. I just hope that this wasn't a glitch and they send me the SD DVDs instead of the Blu-rays.

Re: Blu-Ray Enrollment Titles?

I went on the site to start a new account and they were showing up as members only for me. I cleared my cookies though and it's fine now, and was able to place an order for all blu-rays.

Looks like you were correct! 6 out of 7 of my enrollment titles now show shipped dates. 3 of them said 'backordered' since I enrolled 2 weeks ago, 3 had 'expected by' dates of the first week of May. Then all said backordered a few days ago, and now they are shipped. Originally I thought the 'expected by' titles would be the first to show up, as simply saying backordered could mean anything or nothing. So when they all switched to backordered, I thought all the titles were in trouble. But turns out your optimistic view was the correct one. Thanks!

Re: Blu-Ray Enrollment Titles?

Can't get them to show up as enrollments no matter what you try now. TV stuff is still showing as enrollments so I guess they are gone for at least now

^Kinda OT, but I just caught Moon on my day off this afternoon. Hadn't heard of it for some reason before today. Really an unexpected treat. Good choice.

Re: Blu-Ray Enrollment Titles?

That's weird. I wonder why it's showing up for some and not others? Did you guys clear cookies first or did it show up anyway? I've tried chrome,IE and Firefox and nothing on any of them

Re: Blu-Ray Enrollment Titles?

I wonder if it has something to do with physical location. I have heard of this before where a web-site uses your ISP's location, etc to adjust what is and isn't offered. Which is funny as I have went to web-sites and had them default to cities that are 50+ miles away from me... and thought.. how did they even get that close..

It's just Columbia House enrollment procedure: everything is listed as backordered until at least all but one of one's enrollments are in stock. Only "backorders" with dates are really backordered. Once the dates disappear the credit card should get a real charge, as opposed to an earlier temp charge, and the package is shipped.

As for the loss of BDs for enrollment: count me in the group that can't get them anymore. I guess I'll try computers elsewhere in case it has something to do with my IP address, but that's a longshot. I guess it really WAS too good to be true...

Do you think that's also true for "fulfillment" orders? My Willy Wonka title (which is the only thing remaining in my order) changed from "Backordered 5/16/11" to just "Backordered". That may just mean it's still backordered, but they don't have a new "In Stock" date.
