dave J, that makes me drool. that's just what us americans have to look forward to, hopefully soon on ch.

I have ordered 27 Blu-rays (so far) in this sale with more than 1/2 of them being pre-orders and 24 of the 27 have been $11.58 or less. That's like $9 US with the current exchange rate. Of course I'm still waiting on Hellboy 2 and Wanted but for the most part things are shipping out to me with decent speed.

I've made two orders totalling 21 blu-rays with 7 of those being pre-orders. I've started a shopping cart for a third order but I'm just waiting it out a bit longer to try and squeeze in a few more pre-orders before I pull the trigger. My credit card was charged on Friday for one single blu-ray as well as another charge the same day for two blu-rays. Since CH doesn't provide any account info on current orders, I have no idea in hell which three titles will be showing up in my mailbox in the next few days. What can I say, it's cheap so I ain't complaining!

You can call in to their automated system and get the status on individual titles. For example I just found out that the 5 non-pre-orders from my 2nd order all shipped today. The CSR I called last week told me that's the only way to check status on individual titles I guess other than calling them all the time.

I sent in the little papers to get titles as I did not get the full initial order and got them refused.
One title is on the initial list.
How do I get these titles? What are the requirements? Am I not allowed to choose Blus?

Anyone know?
Thanks in advance.

I think you'll have to call them to deal with it.

I will be calling tomorrow, but I have a feeling that they will say that I have to select DVDs

Also, Saw V was listed a few days ago as well for those interested in adding a few more pre-orders to your next round of 60% off orders.

I know Mamma Mia is now also on the list. I'm hoping that Dodgeball shows up tomorrow since that's its release date.

The blu-ray title count just went up to 413 (from 403). Some of the new listings are The Butterfly Effect, Hostage, Pink Panther, The Punisher, Disaster Movie, etc.

Friday the 13Th Uncut - Blu-Ray is there now too

I might be forced to put in a 4th order now before the free shipping is gone.

Thanks! Just called now and got the following from my order last week:

Home Alone (Blu Ray Shipped)
Dark Knight (Blu Ray out of stock)
Incredible Hulk (Blu Ray out of stock)
Hellboy 2 (Blu Ray out of stock)

looks like I wont get these for awhile...

[Jimbo976]

Hellboy 2 has been out of stock for a while now - 1 month at least. I didn't order The Dark Knight from CH since I figured it would take a while to show up.

I have to say i'm impressed with their shipping on my last order. I placed it last night and already all of the non pre-order Blu-rays from it have shipped today other than The Incredible Hulk which is out of stock.

I also noticed that "The French Connection" pre-order that I had done previously now does not show at all as a listing on their site any more. The number was 636107.

So now i'm just waiting on Hellboy 2, The Incredible Hulk, and Wanted.
