Blockbuster 3D - Page 3

Yes, it was a shipping mistake on Blockbusters end. Before I even sent the 2D version back they had shipped a 3D copy to me (only have 1 out at a time). Got it, and it was 3D.

It was sent back and I got Green Lantern 3D today.

I own this title and no matter how many times I watch it I'm still impressed by the 3D effects. It would make a great demo disc to show off one's 3D gear.

I signed up for the free 30 day trial after following this thread for awhile. I have Green Latern and Cave of Forgetton Dreams in my queue. If I can even get three of four movies a month that are in 3d from BlockBuster I will be extremely happy.

Blockbuster is showing Smurfs in 3D and I have placed it in my queue but it is showing a very long wait. Has anyone received a copy of Smurfs 3D yet?

I've had it at the top of my list for three or four weeks now.

I am watching this thread with great interest. If the Blockbuster online service starts to have greater selection and inventory I will drop Netflix and sign up for sure. I am also watching Redbox - as that is even a better option IMO (instant gratification!).

I am giving Blockbuster a trial run to get the 3D blus. I have had it now for a month and I am kind of finding it difficult to get higher profile titles.

For example, I have had Yogi, Harry Potter, Smurfs, and Under the Sea at the top of my queue for the past few rentals, yet I end up getting titles lower in my list. I have been getting the Imax docs and Haunting in Salem (suck), so I really hope the availability of the more popular titles open up. I can only watch so many documentaries!!!!

If you happen to have Comcast you may be able to get Yogi in 3D off of On Demand. I saw it listed there and watched some of it at one point a few weeks ago. Not going to be the same quality as the blu-ray but may suffice given the wait.

Well, I wish you had returned them a bit faster so I could have avoided Haunting in Salem. Some things just cannot be un-watched and now I have to live with that for the rest of my life.

I was a little disappointed when I received Resident Evil Afterlife in 2D even though its clearly stated as 3D. They insisted that they don't carry 3D movies even though I received Green Lantern 3D. I have a feeling Smurfs will be mislabeled as well.

Yes before I found this thread a couple weeks ago I wrote to them asking if they did any 3D movies and the rep responded that they do not. But of course we know that not to be the case.

Reps are clueless. I recently saw CAVE OF FORGOTTEN DREAMS in 3D via BB.

My local BB B&M store just got their first 3DBD in this week. It is Piranha in 3D. This is one I chose not to buy so It will be on my list to rent as soon as it is returned.

What I don't understand is how hard is it for companies to send an email blast to all representatives that says "Hey we know have some 3D movies available for rent in case anyone asks"? Amazing how disconnected some companies can be from their customers and their needs. It seems though that Blockbuster is starting to understand they can win some customers via 3D...

Aw, c'mon...how can you hate a movie that begins with Matt Hooper (from JAWS) getting eaten by piranhas? Dumb, goofy fun...and a few very nasty deaths! I've got it in my queue for 3d Rental.

Yeah that's what I heard but I'll check it out anyway.

Whoops- It's only for retail sale! My mistake.

However, yesterday, they got in a bunch of Smurfs in 3D as a special rental package. Even though I own this one, I'll rent it anyway just to add the ratings. I'm hoping I can soon stop buying the disks and just rent them first.

LOL, yeah it'd be fine for a rental but this old fart actually bought that stinker! I wasn't expecting much and it delivered much less......
Hope you enjoy it!

Unfortunately, some titles are listed as 3D, but are not. I had that experience with Resident Evil Afterlife. Oh well. At this point, BB Online has 3D and BD for no for extra charge compared to Netflix. Shipping times are reasonable so far. It is the only 3D game in town for me... unless I want to purchase 3D movies... but that is an expensive option.

Please keep us posted if a 3D BD shows up at your house as a 2D. Thanks.

just a heads up but for anyone who is on the blockbuster free trial and is on the fence about keeping or canceling their subscription. When I went to cancel my account I was offered a discount subscription of 16.99 for 3 discs at a time.

Is the discount rate a teaser rate that expires after some amount of time? And thanks... that's good to know they are willing to discount to keep customers.

nothing I read says it expires after a certain amount of time. I'll check my account again just for clarification.

Aside from Vudu, there are also 3D offerings on HBO and STARZ OnDemand via your cable or satellite system. The Pay-Per-View OnDemand section also has 3D movies, including some that are not available on Blu (SHARK NIGHT, etc.)
