My Sopranos order status has changed to "in process". Looks like it may ship afterall.

Amazon has Band of Brothers down to $44.99. I was going to get this at Costco later this week for the same price, but this will save me a trip and tax.

Got two orders in, one now says "in process", the other has completely disappeared from my order history. It was there late last night, no sign of it now.

Awesome - my original preorder was placed before 9/1 so I can get the $10 back. And I thought 54.95 was a good price!

Will they really do that? It makes sense why they should, but don't know if they will. Regardless, I just sent an email explaining the situation. Have others had success with this?

I did a bunch of times in September and October.

It really doesn't matter how long it's been since the policy expired. What matters is A) the order was placed prior to 9/1 and B) the item shipped 30 days ago or less.

I had forgotten BoB was available for pre-order that early. Most stuff I've gotten in November was not up until much later. I did get a price match on Heathers too - placed that early August.

I ordered Zodiac, Beowulf, and Black Snake Moan last night for $30 from borders. When I kept checking my order history I kept getting the "having trouble processing your request" stuff, but I just checked again and it seems to have gone through. No shipping status yet but keeping fingers crossed... good luck 2 every one

It worked! Thanks for pointing this out!

Like other Panasonic BD players, it is an excellent unit.

My order is still listed as in process. However, there's a picture of the Heroes set next to my Sopranos order and the link takes you to the Heroes product description page. If my order does somehow make it out the door, they better not send me 3 copies of Heroes. What a bunch of incompetent boobs!

Mine is halfway complete. Both the movies shipped, the "Best of HD-DVD Vol 1" got cancelled, and Planet Earth is still "In Process." That's ok though, because the 2 movies were the items I really, really wanted out of this order, the sets were just good deals I couldn't pass up.

I noted this in the DVD Bargains area, but get both Romancing The Stone and Jewel Of The Nile on Blu for $29.98 shipped. You save an additional $5 when you buy both titles.

Thanks to Borders cancelling my order, I just gave Amazon another $30.

This is why Borders will be out of business in one year's time.
