Remember, you won't see the reduced prices until you click on "add to cart" and/or "pre order" and add one of the code there. On the screen where you add the code, up at the top there is an "important message" button which, when you click it, tells you that there was a systems upgrade at the site from Aug 8th - Sep 4th and orders placed during that period weren't going to be shipped until after Sep 5th. So they are probably still playing catch up from that. So be patient with them. A little wait is worth the 44% - 48% discount from MSRP. That big of a discount is something I had never heard of for pre-orders such as Blade Runner, Deliverance, Full Metal Jacket (Deluxe Edition). And once they're caught up (which hopefully will be soon), their deliveries are timely. Actually, frequently if you do the pre-orders 10 or more days before the "release date", folks frequently get the pre-orders actually before the official release date. Hopefully they'll soon be returning to this "normality".

I've posted a direct link to the list of available items.

Amazon and most of the other venders will not charge your card until shipped. Just makes it more difficult to cancel if you change your mind. Will probably skip WB as my source for pre-orders in the future.

...please keep in mind that items are billed when shipped and funds must be available in your account at that time.

The charge for your order will appear on your credit card bill as "Warner Home Video".

Say I pre-ordered BS Dracula, but I read some bad reviews ... how long until they credit my account if I cancel the pre-order?

Thanks!

I have done cancellations of pre-orders frequently when a better deal comes along. I cancelled a good number of Amazon pre-orders for thr 4th quarter of this year and replaced them with pre-orders from the WarnerBros site because of the great prices in the deal spelled out upthread.

Once I went dvdpacific I never went back. Prices are within a buck or 2 of amazon and they always ship my preorders a week or earlier than amazon.
when you read about people getting discs before the release date, most of them ordered from dvdpacfiic.

I just went online to my credit card account and see nary a single charge for the pre-orders I have for releases from October through December.

So, if anyone wants to save 44% - 48% on their preorders for Warners videos (or already released videos), I suggest they see post # 2 above and get their orders in before the offer expires after September 30.
