With WalMart, BB, CC and Sears literally selling out nationwide of HD-DVD A2players and all those people sending in the UPS codes for the five free movies. Do you think any of us have a snowballs chance in hades of getting these movies before Christmas.

I'm having a set sent to my folks house (bought one for my mother, so emailed my father to let him know what I bought her and to tell him if the movies arrive before the Christmas to "hide them" from her till I get down there to give her the player and movies.)

But after sending him the e-mail, I thought with so many people buying these players, that the place that sends out the movies, probably had no clue about what WalMart was about to do and now have to prepare for the influx of mail they are about to get.

The ad says 8-10 weeks delivery and that's a normal time of the year, with them selling 100,000 (estimated not confimred) that they will have to have 500,000 copies of movies just sitting around and enough manpower to fill those orders.

Think my folks might get there's by Valentine's Day.......if their lucky. :(

You may get lucky if you call Toshiba enough to "check" on your 5 free discs. But it appears that most people have to wait awhile.

my form said 8-10 weeks.

Sorry cgello, your correct (I'll edit my post) when I bought my player a year ago, I recall it was about 6-8 weeks, So that easily could've changed.

My movies took about 12 weeks. I do agree that you should call and check on the status in about four weeks as it seems to hurry them along quicker.

I'm at nine weeks and counting, so don't count on Christmas (even worse when you factor in XMas Holiday mail delays.)

Slim to none, and Slim just checked into the emergency room.

Based on past experience (sent July 16 have received 1 of 5 so far) i would say

ZERO%

:D

No chance at all! I'm waiting since Sept. 15, and I'm not holding my breath I'll have 'em by Xmas.

I'm just hoping to get them by Christmas 08. :)

Slim to none, and Slim just checked into the emergency room.

No I didn't! Oh ,you said Slim:D

I sent in my form for 5 free movies on October 2nd and received the movies today. 7 weeks ... Not too bad.

Bob

Got mine in 7 weeks starting 1st week of Oct.

I'm still waiting on my 5 free movies mailed in August. No, they didn't lost my rebate. I checked and it is in the system. Supposedly they will mail it out 11/25 at the earliest. So, look ing next spring for your 5 free movie based on my experience. :)

I'm just hoping to get them by Christmas 08. :)

Me too. :D

I am just hoping to get them, since as already pointed out, the form has an invalid address. Hopefully, the post office is dealing with that and getting our forms delivered successfully. ;)

OK - That got my attention - The address is incorrect on the form?
Thanks

I just got my A3 yesterday. They sold 90,000 A2's the first weekend of November. Then there was all the A3's sold around black Friday. Even if only 50% of people claim the free 5 we're probably talking having to ship out half a million disks. I'm not holding my breath for this year.

As Chick Hearn Used to say....

You have 2 chances...
Slim and None...
And Slim just left the building...
