Wow! 3 weeks! Must be a new record. I sent mine in over 3 weeks ago and there is still no record of my name on the website. Was your record there before you received yours?

I would like to know the same thing. If they came out and said for sure that would get it on a certain date I would be happy even if the date was 3 months from now but sending in an order and them not even saying they have received it is just ridiculous

I think I said it in my original post but my info never showed up on the order lookup website and still doesn't show as of today yet I received the 5 movies I sent away for

Finally got my free Blu Rays. Sent mine in at the beginning of November.

Got:
POTC: Curse Of The Black Pearl
Superman The Movie
The Patriot (Extended Cut)
American Psycho (Unrated Version)
The Last Waltz

No replacements at all. Order status is still unavailable on the Disney site though. Ironically I had just checked my status on the site a minute ago and then went downstairs and saw the mail had come and that they were here :)

Still waiting on my discs from the Summer Promo, I've been in the system for weeks now as a status of "In Process". I picked a couple of Paramount titles, I wonder if they are starting to run out of those since no more are being produced. I was hoping to get the free discs by Christmas, but I have a feeling that isn't going to happen.

Last Waltz
The Patriot
The Omen
Stir of Echoes

SWAT
Pirates of the Caribbean
Swordfish

I had to call today since it has been 30 days since they shipped out my original order that never arrived. They said they will re-ship my order with a replacement order for Black Rain that I originally selected. Sucks b*lls!!!

Don't worry. In time you will likely get your first set of movies and the second set! My first set also took longer than 30 days so I called, they reshipped, and I ended up get my five twice. The second set came a lot quicker than the first set. Then you will have 5 movies to trade/sell (or 4 if you like the replacement). I traded my second set (Blazing Saddles, Transporter 2, Italian Job, Stealth and The Guardian) for Cast Away, Clockwork Orange, FMJ (good version) and Harry Potter 1 & 5. I definitely got the longer straw on that exchange.

Good to hear that someone else actually got theirs after the allowed 30 day shipping time. Hopefully this is what will happen for me. Thanks for posting that response.

From Canada here and I got mine this past Saturday. I had mailed my form in early September. I had first called the toll-free line about 6 weeks ago to find out the status and they said it was approved and to expect shipment 8 weeks from that time. I then called them back about 2 weeks ago and this time the person gave me a confirmation number and explained that "The Italian Job" was no longer available and will be substituting it with "The Devil's Rejects" and to expect shipment sometime in the new year... I ended up getting "Deja Vu" instead of "TDR".
So it was a nice surprise to have Canada Post show up at my front door with my BD movies! :)

About how long after the 30 days did you get your first set? Thanks!!!

Got mine today. It took about 6 weeks. I had actually forgot about them and was wondering what I had ordered when I saw the package. What a lovely surprise. I got everything I asked for, nothing was replaced.

Can anyone suggest what I do if I don't have a sales receipt? I received a PS3 for Christmas, but I wasn't given a receipt. Unfortunately, I know it was paid for in cash, so there's no way to go back and track a CC.

SixkillerNYC
12-28-07, 08:37 AM
Ask the person who gave it to you if they have the receipt? if not, find out where they bought it and see if you can go to the store and have them reproduce a receipt?

12-28-07, 09:32 AM
That was my first thought, but since it was paid for in cash, I doubt there'd be any way to track the purchase.

Well isn't that fantastic..using the link on page one I get "Sorry, at this time we can find no match for the data you have entered." for both my name and tel#. Btw I sent it in nearly 3 weeks ago to El Paso Texas...and I am located in Texas. Either USPS has some serious issues or the BD people don't care as long as they get me hooked on their format.:rolleyes:

It will take about a month before you show up in the system. Or maybe you never will show up in the system and your movies will just show up at your house. If you sent in for the summer offer it is about a 3-6 month wait but if you sent in for the fall offer you could get your movies any day. Also, I don't think they have an online tracking system for the fall offer. The fall offer is a much better way to go in my opinion. The summer offer people do not know what they are doing and are as slow as snails.

Are you kidding?

Only 3 weeks. It took about 8 weeks to show up on that website as "in process" for many of us, and that's only the beginning of the 3-6 month saga. And that's only the beginning of the wait. 3 weeks is nothing.

But based on your timeline you are in the latter fall promotion so odds are you will see your movies way before I do even though you hadn't even bought a player when I hit the 3 week mark on having sent mine in...

If you go to Best Buy, you'll need a State issued ID. I had to do this last time I lost my BB receipt and I paid with cash (they couldn't find my purchase in the system).

Being so close to the holidays BB may not ask many questions. I got 2 copies of The Simpsons and exchanged one, no questions asked at BB. My 5 free say they shipped on 12/31. Hopefully they'll get here soon so I can still use the "I got 2 of these for Christmas" excuse.

Yes I just talked with them today and the Holiday promotions discs were mailed yesterday according to them. I received the summer promotion discs back in August so I guess you can get both promotions.

Thanks for the link (therefore not shooting the messenger) but I found the article and follow-up pretty unsatisfying. It doesn't go nearly far enough to push the spokesperson. The weak excuse about not anticipating the demand still doesn't start to explain why people in the Fall Promotion are already being fulfilled but many of us in the Summer promotion are still waiting.

And the disc substitution explanation doesn't excuse why they absolutely refuse to allow customers to direct which substitutions they prefer when calling before the orders are fulfilled.

And publishing that customer service # is less than useless since if you call it you get the worst, useless customer service on the planet and they know less than the Internet screen and are totally unhelpful. Nor does it get into how they are lying about the dates they receive the rebate forms to extend their timeline.

Finally got mine! I kept Chicken Little but, exchanged the rest at Best Buy. I just told them I got 2 of them for Christmas. They gave me store credit which is all I want anyway! They wouldn't take Hart's War though, she said it wasn't coming up in here system. Circuit City did take Hart's War but only gave me 29.99 for it when the one they had on the shelf was priced at 34.99 (online at cc.com it is 39.99). I also noticed for the first time that cc.com's prices are about $5 higher then there in store prices, weird.

edited to change mailed in date....but it's funny, I'm purple so i had a rebate on each format and the rep on each phone number said shipped on 2 Jan. I didn notice on the rebate forms that both went to El Paso, could be the same establishment that's fulfilling both formats rebates.

did either store ask for your license? Best Buy wouldnt let me when they asked for my license and stated to me I made a return within the past 12 months without a receipt yet I have no recollection of when I returned something in the past year without a receipt.

I just got my movies in the mail today. I sent in my rebate form the last week of October.

On the returns issue, many retailers are tracking returns without receipts because of theft issues. They want to ensure that all of the returns/exchanges that are made were actually purchased. Target only allows two returns without receipt in any 12 month period.

This is their SOP. As I posted previously, I was dubious so I had mine sent in with UPS and required signature and they still claimed they received them about a month later than that. Their definition of received seems to be whenever they get around to dusting off the stack of mail on their desks and typing them into a computer...

Has anyone tried to send in two forms yet and gotten both ? I ask because I sent mine in for the ps3 and got them back then i got a DMP-BD30 with my new plasma and just sent it in under my wifes maiden name though since it said 1 per household (which i think is horseshit btw) it also said the receipt has to originate from the state of the mailing address?? hopefully it sneaks through since the reciept was from an online retailer .

Just a thought that occurred to me today....why is it they tell you that your info won't show up when you put in your name/address etc.. yet they can somehow tell you that your request was recieved? What I mean is that for the person on the phone to know for sure when your form was recieved the info would have to be in some database...which means they could cut down on a lot of calls if they just linked it here https://portal.archway.com/run/Lookup?key=BVISTA Hmm..

I think I'm going to fabricate a name/address Monday and call in and see if I get the same story...and if they can tell me when "john Doe's" form was recieved.;)

Only the Holiday offer doesn't show up. The summer offer worked just fine online. And I agree, they SHOULD link it to their website!

I sent mine at the beginning of December and am still not in the system. I seriously do not have enough patience to call. If I ever receive them, I'll be pleasantly surprised.

*Update: I did have enough patience after all to call them. The CSR told me that my disks were sent out on January 23 but I should allow 3 - 4 weeks for them to arrive. It certainly gives new meaning to the term "snail mail".

I sent mine in around the third week of Dec. My data isn't online, but they also have it in their system. They say my stuff is "in processing" ... I figure I have another few weeks (but I'm not holding my breath).

I got mine yesterday after around 9 weeks of waiting.

I have a question about this offer. I just bought a PS3, do I have to send in the original receipt or can I send a copy?

You can send a copy of the receipt but they want the original upc from the box.

I sent mine in before Thanksgiving....I just called today and the chick said "we show that we recieved your form on January 17th 2008" WTF????
Just what kind of geriatric monkey with a popsickle-stick do they have opening things?

I suspect they only work Tuesdays and Thursdays.

It took me almost 3 months to get my 5 FREE HD-DVDs last year and I'm expecting nothing different with the 5 FREE Blu-Ray offer. Hell, I'll just be happy if I get them at all.

Brent Madden
01-31-08, 01:02 AM
I requested:
The Patriot,Superman,POTC,American Psycho,Species (hate the movie but Natasha Henstridge boobage in HD)


Those are the five titles I chose and I picked Species for that same reason. I guess perverted minds think alike. :p

Just a heads up that today is the last day to buy if you want 5 free. I wonder if they are going to refresh the offer tomorrow with some new titles?

I'm interested in a BD standalone player. Suggestions?

My preferences in order of machines you can buy today that I have seen:

1. My first choice would be the PS3 (yes I know it is not a standalone but it is still my first choice. I have bought 3 of them now.)

2. Pioneer 95 (expensive but Profile 1.1 compliant)

3. Panasonic 30 (Profile 1.1 compliant)

4. Sharp

5. Sony BDP-S300

Good luck getting the free movies. I have twice sent in the proper paperwork and Sony has sent it back twice claiming I did not enclose the proper forms.

I am about to contact my states attorney general and I would urge others to do the same.

rlsmith,
I already have a PS3 in my living room but I'm thinking of moving it to my bedroom. My problem is I have an XA2 and PS3 in the living room so I can watch anything in there but if I want to watch something in the bedroom, I only have an A20 in there so BD's are out for the time being. I'd like to have the ability to play both formats in the bedroom. No stereo/AVR/speakers in the bedroom so audio is not as big a deal. I use the TV sound only.

I have a Sony 5300ES AVR with 7.1 surround so a 1.1 compliant BD player that bitstreams to the AVR via HDMI is all I need really. The BD30 looks like a good choice as does the Pio but the Pio is way more expensive. I don't think I want a PS3 in the living room anymore as I'm not a big gamer and all my music and pics are supplied already via an Apple TV in there. The bluetooth remote deal is also sort of a pain as I have a Harmony 880.

Thanks for the suggestions.

The end of Feb. is when the rebate has to be mailed out but to be eligible you have to buy a player today or earlier.

I'm also hoping for a new 5 free BD offer with different selection...

I bought a second PS3 in January.... if a new 5 free BD offer shows up
tomorrow, then I'll return it and re-buy it...

I got way passed pissed and eventually tracked down the contact infor the the senior execs at Archway, the company handling the fulfillment of the promotion. The finally resulted in them FedEx'ing me my movies, with two crappy substititions. I had many examples of people who had sent theirs in way after me but received them sooner. Their process is total chaos. It took 11 weeks in all.

Can you post or PM me the information for the archway exec's you found. This is the route Im going to take at this point since its been much much longer (2 months) and i just received a note saying the company (best buy) I bought this from was not an acceptable company and asked me to NOT RESUBMIT. Im throughly ticked especially since I've been on top of this since day one and have been repeatedly told my discs were processed and that shipping them was only a matter of time...

How were they delivered? (UPS, USPS, or otherwise)

Thanks! :)

02-13-08, 05:28 PM
It was UPS. The movie cases were in good shape except for the cardboard Pirates of the Caribbean cover that was smashed in at the corners. I was actually surprised UPS even delivered the movies to my door since I usually get a postcard asking me to pick up the package because they can't get inside my condo.

This offer is great, uh? Hey, buy our Bluray player and we will send you 5 mediocre movies, AND make you wait 2 and half months to get them. Yeah!!!

This is why I don't buy based on the mail-in offers. Too much hassle, and too long to wait.

If the company really wants to give you a deal, they should give the rebate or movies at the time of purchase. Instead they play these games. Marketers belong in the same slimy box as divorce lawyers and ambulance chasers.

I just called to see if they even received my order, and she told me it would be impossible to check the status of my order due to maintenance until later today...then she told me to call around noon. It is 11 am right now, so I responded 'You mean in one hour?' She sounded surprised, then said, 'It's 11 where you are?'

If she is surprised at the existence of the Pacific Time Zone, that's ok...but where the hell is she? Hawaii? Alaska? I'm getting the feeling I shouldn't count on ever receiving any of these movies...

After just now calling to check status (of "shipping" that is, since it has been showing "in process" for several weeks!!), operator said something about mailing a postcard to me. I just got postcard at home and it gave me the option to cancel my order altogether! WHAT NERVE!!! Indeed, do I want to cancel a FREEBIE!!! WTF!! I could maybe understand if this were HD DVD, but blu ray is still a viable business!!!

They arrived in a large padded envelope. I'm surprised they didn't fall out during shipping because one end was held together with just a couple of staples. Not the best packing job I've ever seen.
