Just saw a CC close to where I'm going to be has some. Ordered one for store pick up. Sweet.

And this is exactly why I never shop at Circuit City. Just got a call from them.

Them: "Umm...errrr....well, we don't have those in stock right now"
Me: "Why does it say you do on the website then?"
Them: "Ummm...errrr....we can't find them. We're not sure when they are coming in."
Me: "Then why is it listed on the site?"
Them: "We don't know. We'll refund your money."
Me: "I want the $24 gift card that you guarantee"
Them "We can't give that to you since you aren't here"
Me "So what if I drive down there right now. I'll be there and you still won't have it. Then I'll get the $24 gift card."
Them: "We are calling you right now so you don't do that."
Me: "This is exactly why I never shop with you fucking idiots."
Them: "Well, I'm sorry..."
Me: Click....

Hung up on them fuckers. They just called me back too. I saw it on the caller ID. I'm not talking to those retards.

Deftones

Bahahaha. They just found it in store.

DJ_Longfellow

I would've went down there and got my giftcard....

I just got mine for $160 at CC

http://www.badongo.com/file/1668694 ($40 coupon)

Supermallet

Our store got two. One was reserved. Had a lot of people interested in the second, but no bites yet. It looks snazzy.

I tried using the $40 off $199 code online but it wont take it. anyone have success with it?

BBEANLPHIE

Never mind it says instore only. They took your photocopy with no problem>?

Deftones

The coupon is nice if I was paying for mine, but since I'm swapping out the BB one I'll get in a week with the one I'm buying at CC today, it just makes more of a hassle.

BBEANLPHIE

Anyone try using that coupon in store. It states no copies so I am kind of iffy on using it

Deftones

What's the worst they can say? No? Worth a try, IMHO.

Never thought I'd see the day where Circuit City's customer service was worse than Best Buy's. It really is though, man, I avoid Circuit City at all costs now.

RichC2

Both Circuit City and CompUSA have (in my experiences) far worse Customer Service than Best Buy. Best Buy just has shitty policies.

Anyone tried out the HD-DVDRom yet? Wanna know if it's worthwhile.

Daryl

Good lookin' out, man. Like you, I was hoping to get it from Best Buy since I had a lot of RZ certificates, but $40 off at Circuit City and making sure I got the King Kong pack-in made it a no-brainer. The dudes at CC had no idea what I was talking about when I got there, but I did convince them to look it up in their inventory (I hate having to talk the help through doing their own jobs, but hey - I had driven 30 miles to get it). They finally found it on a pallett in the back (1 of 4). They took the coupon, no problem. The guy had to type the coupon code in manually, my crappy printer didn't print out the barcode clearly enough, I guess. One thing I did do was print it out on heavier paper so it felt like I clipped it from a cardboard insert. I honestly don't think it mattered, though, the high schoolers working in that dep't don't care.

BBEANLPHIE

Anyone know if any NYC papers have this coupon in the news paper so I can pick one up before heading out just in case they shoot me down for the photocopy.

BBEANLPHIE

Just picked it up. I got it at the whitestone queens store. When I got there 2 ladies told me they have it but cant sell it i was like wtf??? They had like 20 of them right behind them at customer service. I walked around and went to the game section and told the guy there you have the player right he said yea its up front. I said the wont sell it to me. He said yea they will and went up and talked to them and called a manager and sold it to me with the coupon. King kong is eye popping. Im playing it through VGA with the max resolution on my 42 inch westinghouse.

Green Smurf

Picked mine up today, got to love gamestores in the ghetto, find all the good stuff there.

Picked up Army of Darkness looks awesome!

I have some questions that the manual doesnt answer.

1- Is the only way to start the HD DVD is to open and close the trey? I found no way to start it from the 360 guide or from the remote control. Only way for me is to open and close the HD trey.

2- Once I power on the system with the remote control again the movie wont start no matter what button I press on the remote it goes to the guide which is correct but wtf? I have to open and close the trey for it to start.

3- The power button on the remote control and the open/close control the 360 not the HD DVD player. Any one else find a way around this?

BBEANLPHIE

Anyone know what the extra 2 USB ports are for on the back of the player?

Also here is an interview about the HDDVD drive for this interested.

When you turn on the system, scroll all the way to the bottom. You should have the option to either "Play Game" or "Play HD DVD."

BBEANLPHIE

Ah ic. Thanks mrglass. What about opening the trey for the player?

eatntae

I think one of the extra USB ports is for the wireless adaptor, since the player takes the USB slot on the back of the Xbox.

Deftones

Yeah, you gain one USB slot.

Edison

I used one for my Wireless adaptor, and moved my vision cam from the front USB port to the back filling both on the HD DVD drive.

mrglass

I don't think you can open the tray on the hd dvd player with the remote.

SuperBatMan

Best Buy didn't have any yet.

I think I'll just order it off WalMart.com to avoid the hassle of having to drive an hour to BB again.
