Has anyone recieved their copy yet? Ordered mine on 9/7, and since B&Ms seem to have them, whats the hold up? I thought the recall would delay some, but
this doesnt seem to be the case with B&Ms. Checked my account and the item hasn't even shipped yet. Anyone know what the delay is?
Thanks

Still no sign of "Tap". I am no hurry however. Got the Criterion *and* the bloody thing is etched indelibly into my synapses.
Why did I buy it again? Oh, the new features! Humm, I may just have to start avoiding re-buy's.

Received mine yesterday from Buy.com (and then I received an email from them telling me that it had shipped).
And yes, it was the correct version (I checked DVDTalk before opening the DVD because I was thinking that it would take the studio a LOT longer than that to ship out the corrected versions).
And btw, does anyone else wonder why Buy ships to you using USPS Priority but if you have to return something, it's UPS? I've returned one disc to them about 3 weeks ago and the CSR on the phone was saying it still hadn't been checked in at their warehouse yet!
You know, I love the fact that I get a lot of pre-orders 3-4 days before street date but I really hate this whole return policy of theirs (not to mention how much I despise their invoices....the numbers on the invoice bear no relation to what they list on their website)

I've noticed this, too. It seems that just about every order from them arrives before I even get a shipping notice.
They did let me know that Tap shipped out Monday. Hopefully it'll be waiting for me when I get home from work.

Count me in - THIS IS SPINAL TAP was waiting in my mailbox today (as was THE SECRET OF NIMH, finally arriving from express.com after more than a month).
Now if they would just send my copy of REPO MAN ...

Got my "corrected" Tap just before I left town last week.
Gotta admit that the new features were worth the price (with coupon) of re-admission.
