Has anyone successfully been able to get the 10% off applied yet? Still isn't showing up for me.

I thought Amazon recently stopped that discount?

My understanding was for anyone that got in before the cut off date, it is good until December 2007.

You are correct, and the discount is still effective. However, a lot of people have reported that the discount doesn't always apply itself to pre-orders as it should. In the event that it doesn't, e-mail Amazon and they will happily (I'm sure, as they seem to be nice folks and all) fix the problem.

It wasn't automatically discounted but I just emailed them and they applied the discount within a couple of hours.

The 10% discount showed up fine for me when I placed an order for The Complete Matrix Trilogy on March 27. It appeared along with the free shipping discount during the checkout process, but not before.

Yah, i got the discount too, 7 bucks, it shows up when you choose your credit card. You get asked whether you want to use the money from the "coupon" for this sale. Only got the movies, not the ultimate collection.

Thanks for the replies. It works now. It looks like my problem was that I also had a 10.00 promotional certificate in there that was interfering with it applying. The system wouldn't let me apply both at the same time.

Haven't had a chance to look at the movies yet!

Just so everyone knows, each of the three DVDs are all single-sided and NOT flippers. :)

the review over at Hidef Digest raves about the release!

Collection
Trilogy

Are the movies in the Complete Matrix Trilogy the same as in the Ultimate set?
Amazon indicates 1080P in the Ultimate set but not in the Complete set.

Yes

fitprod

They are teh exact same in terms of Audio and Video.... Both amazing!!!!

Under what circumstance would you assume that the studio would prepare 2 different masters for the same movie being released on the same date?

Got my hands on The Complete Matrix Trilogy set early and watched the first film last night. Still haven't managed to scrape my jaw up from the floor.

Fans of the Matrix universe are going to be VERY happy with this set.

I think I'll be getting in on Best Buy's $299 HD-A2 sale next week and this might be my first HD purchase. I'm dying to replace my old DVD (I have the original). Not too excited about buying the other two, but if you buy the set, you get two other HD titles for free. So that $80 price tag they have isn't looking nearly so bad for the Trilogy and two other titles.

Mine is in the mail and will be here Friday. Can't wait to check these out.

Anyone had them ship from amazon yet?

My Ultimate set just shipped from WHV. It should look AMAZING. Too bad that not all of the content is worthy.

My copy shipped as well and should be at my house on Monday. Can't wait.

Ditto!

Just finished watching Matrix - very impressive :)

I went for the trilogy set as I couldnt justify the extra cash for the extras which are the same as those I already have!! (Especially as I have a US XB live account a should be able to download Animatrix ;))

I was all set to buy an HD-DVD player strictly for The Matrix (and the $100 instant rebate promotion) until I realized that you had to buy the trilogy and they did not do a single release of the first film.

Guess I will wait a bit longer to throw my hat into the HD ring.

I'm thinking about doing that and then just selling the Matrix set :lol:

Isn't worth the money to me, but a $299 player + 2 free movies of my choice + 5 more from Toshiba is very tempting.
