And I cannot disagree with either of those points. I've had my share of conversations with guys named Jim who sound like they are a native of some far, exotic locale (but that comes close to "profiling, doesn't it?).
And I was able to provide the transcript to you folks because the chat...
The e-mail said the 20th.
As I told the customer rep, it has never happened before that they didn't deliver on the release date...so I never gave it a thought to look at what the delivery date was going to be.
That's my failing. No doubt about it. Lesson learned. I will be more...
My order was placed on August 12th!
I can't see fighting this anymore though.
Unless any of you can think of some other way to go about it. I DID have a situation not too long ago where I placed an order and mistakenly ordered the DVD instead of Blu of a certain title. I had to...
Whoops. I didn't make it clear. I had pre-ordered The Hunger Games and was expecting it to be delivered today.
Not Jaws. That's why I really don't get this. At all.
I'm a little ticked off at Amazon. This is the first time I can remember pre-ordering a new release (I have Prime Shipping) and NOT getting it on release date.
So, I just "chatted" with amazon customer support who informed me that "release date delivery" isn't in play on every item...
To you fellas posting about your DVD collections:
I've got no issue at all with you posting here about such things, but you might be interested in this other thread on the same subject. Some mighty interesting reading there, if you haven't already stopped by.
I've got a real...
Stemming misinformation spread by their own employees.
I hate to say "I told you so," but you just cannot trust what floor personnel might tell you in these situations And, I will go as far to say that it's not always the floor personnel's fault. They might be getting misinformation from...
Does anyone know what Target is selling the disc for? DavidJ?
I am surprised, like Malcolm, that Amazon has bumped to $19.96 and is still there.
And based on all that has happened...I wouldn't be 100% sure Best Buy won't be getting more digibooks in stock. Not that I doubt Todd's...
Oh my.
This apparent underestimation of the potential demand for the Blu of Jaws reminds me of that great line in Toy Story 2 from Tour Guide Barbie (in the toy store) when Pixar poked a little fun at itself and the success of the original Toy Story:
For Target not even to...
Jaws??? The Hunger Games???
Really?!?
That's all anyone can talk about this week? You people disgust me.
Bigfoot, people! Bigfoot!
Jaws was just a rip-off of the whole Bigfoot franchise, anyway...
Don't forget, everyone, that The Hunger Games isn't released until Saturday, August 18. It has happened to me. I walk into a store expecting to find a big title on Tuesday...only to wonder where it is. Then I remember it's one of those rare end-of-the-week releases!
