It's 345am EST, and this STILL isn't showing up online. The 'text offer' is there listed under the HD-DVDs, but it doesn't friggin work on the checkout yet...this sucks. I want to order my shit and go to bed.

It's just past 4am and I ordered my b3g2 offer on the site.

Ordered Mission Impossible I, II, and III, plus Terminator 3 and Mummy Returns. Total was $79.97 plus $4 tax = $83.97

Yup, does look like it works with all titles online and with free shipping, but their prices still make it tough. Best I could get was buying $24.95 titles with a total of about $81.00 after tax.....or a little over $16.00 each. Amazon easily beats that, but the question is if they will ever have such a nice selection.

I originally added 10 items to my cart to see if the math would work but it didn't. I ordered two batches of five, and only paid for 3 in each one! It works - you'll see the items zero out when you have five of them in your cart.

For whatever reason it isn't working with Knocked Up on their website. I didn't see any other titles that didn't work.

I wanted to do in store pick up today but none of the stores near me had all 5 i wanted according to the site. Any chance amazon matches this?

^ It's free shipping, btw.

That's just the thing. This isn't a particularly good deal. Granted, one has a very good selection of titles to choose from. However, with patience, I guarantee that Amazon will have it cheaper down the road. BB's pricing is too high to begin with.

I'm saving my money for another day.

It definitely isn't that good of a deal compared to others we have had recently. The only reason I ordered some movies was that I had some GC's to use.

I got a $75 GC for Christmas so went ahead and used that. Since my store didn't have 3 of the titles I was interested (only was getting $24.99 titles), I ordered online with free shipping.

Dammit! I wanted to pick up Led Zeppelin - The Song Remains the Same HD, and it appears that it's the only HD-DVD that isn't part of the sale...I'd still order it, do in-store pick up and argue, but it appears to be online only. Rotten Bastards...

WB actually never officially released that, on HD DVD or Blu-ray (it was pulled before release). Apparently, there was a legal issue with one of the supplements that likely will not be on the disc when it is finally released. They did ship to retailers and some places are still selling it (I ordered one from bn.com the other day).

My Circuit City ad is showing the same deal incase you can't find what your looking for at Best Buy.

Did the sale online since 3 of the selections I wanted weren't available anywhere locally:

Blade Runner 5 Disc
Batman Begins
Casablanca
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Tim Burton's Corpse Bride

Was debating that last pick between CB, V For Vendetta and Big Lebowski.

CC ad says select titles only.

I found myself trying to find 3 titles to go with two I wanted, and the I realized with Best Buy's crappy prices, I was about to spend $80 after tax for 5 catalog titles, or about $16 a disc. These are all discs I can get $18 each shipped from Amazon (until Tuesday), so instead of spending $80 I just spent $36 at Amazon on the two I did want.

Thanks for catching that. Was going to make a trip out today only to be dissapointed.

That rumour is quite false - seeing as the HD content is identical to the 2-disc SD DVD, and they have not been pulled nor will be. The reason for the delay was the production/supply issues Warner was having with HD-DVDs. It's not an "Ed Wood" situation. The full shipments have not been sent to the major retailers, but smaller companies that order through other distributors have most definitely gotten them. That said, it's still been tough to find. I've seen reports of it showing up here and there at WalMart...

I picked up:

Anchorman
Eyes Wide Shut
March of the Penguins
Shaun of the Dead
Superman II

Picked up 5 titles today at BB

The Shining
Omega Man
Anchorman
Old School
Meet the Parents

May go back for another round.
Was going to grab 3 Blu-ray movies with that $20 coupon, but they didn't have Rataoulie, and I didnt want to spend $35 for a barebones Castaway.

I did, however, notice they had 60+ BDP-300s for $299.99. Ive never seen so many stacked up at once.

I ordered a BD copy a few days ago from BN.com, that has shipped, but DVDEmpire claims that all iterations have been "Discontinued By Studio" including both SD-DVD versions. DVDPlanet has all versions listed as "Temp. Sold Out." DeepDiscount apparently only lists the HD-DVD version, and you get a "[t]his item is no longer available" message when you try to put it in your cart. (I'm not certain that the three other versions can't be found on their site, but I cannot find them with their wonky search engine.)

Amazon did not seem to think that neither the BD nor HD-DVD version would even be released. And the SD-DVD version will be available 2/6/2008. So I'm not sure if there isn't some issue beyond WB's recent production and/or distribution problems (that have tended to muck up one format over the other.)

Maybe there was a significant demand over the holiday season, encouraged by the reunion show. But it seems like there might be some sort of issue with the content.

All the music performance type HD-DVDs seem to be excluded from this sale, btw.

Wished I had thought about doing in-store pick up on the items mine had (they had 2 out of the 5) and then had BB.com ship the other 3. Oh well.

The actual reason it was pulled is that there is a glitch in the TrueHD track on the disc....it goes mute for 10-15 seconds or so during "Moby Dick" (I believe it was)....go to AVSForum and read about it from a few people who got one of the copies that snuck out...

I am passing on this sale,if you do the math,it is not very good at all compared to prices at Amazon.

Yeah, that's what I did...

Picked up in store:
The Thing
Meet The Parents

Having shipped to me:
House Of Wax
Bruce Almighty
Million Dollar Baby

I was happy to see that some titles at bb.com (like Bruce Almighty) that they do not carry in-store (or at least do not allow for in-store pickup) were included in this sale, as they were NOT part of last weeks B2G1....
