I got my copy of Gladiator on Sunday (as usual) from Buy.Com.

All of my pre-orders from Buy have come on Sunday. I don't know why.

I saw Gladiator when it first came out only once so I was looking forward to watrching it again. What a great movie. It looks and sounds great. I only watched the deleted scenes on the 2nd disk but there's a lot of stuff there.

Great job DreamWorks !

Well I have to say I got mine on Friday along with X-men.

Who is delivering on Sundays? I'm curious.

I ordered Gladiator, Escape From New York & Chicken Run from Buy and I still don't have them http://talk.dvdtalk.com/ubb/frown.gif

Well,how was Gladiator on dvd? Does it lose
a lot of impact when you are watching it
letterboxed at home? Don't get me wrong,I'm pro-widescreen,but big,epic films like this
need to be seen at a theater for the best effect. Some guy from Entertaniment Weekly actually preferred the full screen version
of this flick,and I was wondering if the letterboxed dvd was still watchable,at least on a 32 inch tv screen.

It comes USPS.

I have a 35" screen and the letter-box version looks great.

Its monday and my order status says "On Order" I have never recieved anything from Buy.com before the street date. This is really pissing me off.

Why does the post office deliver to you on Sundays???

Hey, you can't read the Topic header?

Clearly Maximus arrived at his house on Sunday with the DVD ! http://talk.dvdtalk.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

It's called Cadaver Express.

I also would like to know how the Post Office delivers to you on Sunday.

The only way the post office delivers to me on Sunday is if I forget the check the mail on Saturday (or check it too early - they always show up later on Saturday then throughout the week)...

I didn't see it in the theater, but I found it very watchable on a 32" tv. Just remember, the "bigger the black bars" the more you miss in pan&scan. That EW guy is an idiot, IMO.

Maybe they deliver on Sundays to keep up with the competition.
