View Full Version : 5 Free Blu-ray Disc Offer
Dave A. 05-10-08, 10:03 AM After about a three month wait I just received my five Blu-rays. The Prestige and Stir of Echos were the only two I really cared about, but it's good to have five more to add to the collection.
I think the key to receiving these free movies is to give up all hope of ever getting them. The big envelope showed up just when I figured there was a snafu and they were lost forever. This method also worked for the 5 free HD DVDs.
BassTek 05-10-08, 10:48 AM Not sure how it works in Canada, but won't the post office just forward all mail to your new address?
You can buy 6 months of mail forwarding from the post office, I think it's around $30.
kinglerxt 05-20-08, 05:53 PM Well its been a month since I last called the 800 # to check on my status
Last time it was "received and still processing not shipped"
Today I called back and its still the same status! :(
"In Processing" but not shipped yet
Its 13 weeks by my count
Im in So Cal
FYI, to date I now have purchased 32 Bluray discs on my own and still waiting for these 5 free ones
Well I just called the 800 # for the 1st time
She said it was confirmed and in the system but still processing (not shipped out yet) and couldnt confirm or deny if any would be substituted out
I sent 1 week before the deadline
The 5 I requested are:
POTC
Swordfish
Stir of Echoes
The Patriot
Chain Reaction
JayMan007 05-20-08, 06:14 PM Got my 5 yesterday.
Originally submitted on 2/26, but returned for UPC (it was the right one - called to confirm)
Re-submitted on 3/31.
Received the 5 I requested:
PotC: Black Pearl
Full Metal Jacket (New)
American Psycho
The Patriot
Hart's War.
I know I'm late to the party, but is there anyway to still sign up for this deal?
I just bought a refurb Samsung player a couple of weeks ago.

No competition = no deals. This is truly one of those 'snooze, you lose' scenarios.
ckramer 05-24-08, 07:38 AM Got my 5 yesterday. I sent in the form on 2/10.
Otter0911 05-27-08, 06:11 PM Well I got a shock today......Mailed my form in Feb called to check on status was told they have no record of my request and I have to resubmit my paperwork. I said forget it and never resubmitted......Today in the mail shows up my 5 Free BDs!!
Talontsi96 05-27-08, 07:25 PM You guys seem to be way more lucky than me. I sent mine in late January and still got nothing.....
wormraper 05-27-08, 07:59 PM I just called them after 3 months of waiting and they said mine shipped out on the 23rd of May. So hopefully they should be here soon.
ragar01 05-29-08, 10:45 AM Just called the 800 number yet again. Still in process. How long does it take to pull 5 discs stick em in a box and mail it? My paerwork went in at the end of February. They are running the risk of taking longer than the HD Dvd offer at this point.

I was told the same thing. The person I spoke to did enter the info and had me tell her which 5 I had picked. She was going to see if I could get approved to have them sent. I haven't called back yet to see if I was "approved". It's been 4 months since I sent it in originally. I guess I should call to find out one way or another - I've passed on some of those during some of these sales thinking I was getting them for free.
Li'l Jimmy 05-29-08, 03:04 PM Got mine today too. Not bad for being scheduled to ship on 6/5/08.
i had checked via web, got the "no record at this location" response
i never bothered to follow up
then i got the postcard with shipping date a month later
I purposely selected titles i would not have bought otherwise but wanted to see. that way i could go ahead and hit the BOGOs as hard as i wanted.
padded envelope, no damage:)
Downhill Dude 05-30-08, 02:53 PM As posted on another website, there is a Canadian number you can call to follow-up on orders north of the border: 1-877-823-0804.
The lady I spoke with was very pleasant, and told me everything related to my rebate order.
Not so impressed with their fulfillment staff, as I sent the application in between Christmas and New Year's, and I still haven't received my movies. The rep I spoke with said they were still waiting for some of the titles to come in. She said they entered my order into their database on January 23rd, and they still don't have inventory. It will probably be over 6 months time when I get the movies. Shameful! But at least I now know that my order is in process...
PursuitGT 06-04-08, 11:52 AM I called about my order sent in Jan 2nd. They said they were waiting on a shipment of one of my movies. I asked which one and was told Flight of the Phonix, To which i asked if i could make a swich. The only one availible to switch was The omen. Hopefully i see these within the next 3-4 weeks ;)
A week ago I received 5 BluRay movies. I had placed the order 2/29. I was told several times previously that they never received my submission. I am amazed that the movies came. I also have received 10 HD DVD movies.
ragar01 06-07-08, 10:33 AM I received mine this week finally. All 5 discs I ordered were in my package which included the remastered Full Metal Jacket instead of the original which was pictured on the offer as I recall.
Lots of movies to watch now.

kinglerxt 06-08-08, 01:44 PM I got my package finally delivered yesterday afternoon!
Was sitting at my front door in a yellow 8x11 envelope that was partially torn at the top so I was scared someone had stolen a few BRs out of it
Luckily all was ok
All 5 of my choices were there as ordered!
I had called the 800 number for the 2nd time 3 weeks ago and they had said at that time they still had not shipped it out so... Im really beginning to think they only ship it if you call them and bug them so they are hoping you will forget about it
Makes you wonder
So it took roughly 16 weeks to get them (4 months!)
Im in So. Cal and sent them about 1 week before the deadline
Oh well now to figure out how to sell the ones I dont want as I already tried to bring back one from a bad order at Fry's back to Walmart without a receipt and they said no go cant do it :(
I really only will probably keep:
POTC and Patriot and Swordfish
defintely dont want Stir of Echos and not sure about Chain Reaction
Oh well this is finally over and I can move on with my life :)
Well I just called the 800 # for the 1st time
She said it was confirmed and in the system but still processing (not shipped out yet) and couldnt confirm or deny if any would be substituted out
I sent 1 week before the deadline
The 5 I requested are:
POTC
Swordfish
Stir of Echoes
The Patriot
Chain Reaction
mine were shipped. Finally. I mailed the last day of Feb. They said it could still take weeks as they are shipped bulk.

Well 8 Days later i have them. Look like switching the one movie got them here quicker. :D It only took them 23-24 weeks to get me my free Blu-rays :confused:
meriadec 06-13-08, 05:29 PM Lucky Friday the 13th for me!
Today I received the 5 BDs that I selected :) No substitution. I registered mailed my application form on December 19 2007. It has taken 6 months. So if your are still waiting, don't despair. The package containg my BD was mailed from Whitby Ontario Canada. My selection was:
POTC
Superman
Hart's War
The Patriot
Chain Reaction
Smoke-Eater 06-18-08, 09:12 PM There is still hope for those of you still waiting for your disc's. I sent off my request form at the end of January, and today the disc's finally arrived. It only took almost five months, but better late than never. I ordered POTC, Hart's War, The Patriot, Swordfish, and Stir of Echos. No Subs.
mine were shipped. Finally. I mailed the last day of Feb. They said it could still take weeks as they are shipped bulk.
I guess they weren't kidding when they said weeks due to bulk mail. I still haven't got them.
WojtekZ 06-24-08, 05:25 PM I just got my order here in Canada, sent in Jan 31st :) I think I got all the movies I requested.
HDTVmeeh 06-30-08, 06:14 PM Received my overhyped,overpriced BR discs last week,,let's see...took 26 weeks!Hold on,,,6months 2 weeks!!! sounds better.seems they waited till the discs were in the discount bin..
I'm seriously unimpressed with the movie picture quality,,looks like there's plenty of room for improvement in the next great disc technology.:p
NEVER AGAIN!!
