Anyone get their 3 or 5 free hd-dvd's yet?

Glad to see this offer is also being offered in Canada! It was a nice surprise when I cut open the box for the A2. Too bad the choices are so poor...

Unfortunately you lose out on this offer if you buy a demo or open box unit. I could have got another 3 free dvd's for my A1, except it never came with a box!

Sony VPL-VW50 1080p Projector, Da-Lite 106" Cinema Contour screen, Toshiba HD-A2 DVD player,
Harman Kardon 335 7.1ch receiver, Polk Audio RTi10 speakers, CSi5 center, RC615i surrounds, Velodyne DPS-12 Sub, Monster 400, THX cables

I agree with you, we have 15 DVD choices and believe that none of them are good as far as PQ. I am currently trying to decide on which 3 to pick?

I haven't gotten mine yet, but if I remember correctly the delivery time was up to 10 weeks.

I disagree. I chose "Sky Captain," "Apollo 13," and "Casablanca." All of these have received raves for the PQ.

I called the 800 # today and they gave me some B.S. about how the overwhelming response has caused everything to be pushed back a few weeks. So, now I'm not expecting to see anything before March(even though I mailed off my rebate in November).

We may never get our three freebies. People on AVS are reporting of Toshiba claiming they're not on their system when they call in. Toshiba instructed them to re-submit their rebate request to a different address.

I hate rebates & don't count on them anymore. Just look for the best deal w/o one whenever possible. The whole rebate world has become a big scam.

Yikes....how do you "resubmit" a rebate? The first time we had to send the actual UPC code.

Hope mind doesn't get lost in the shuffle; I guess we'll see...

I called Toshiba yesterday and sure enough they said they don't have my name on record for the rebate offer. They said they are not responsible for lost mail and the supervisor there will decide if I can re-submit using photocopies of the UPC I made...what a farce.

I've misplaced my copy of the .pdf. What's the toll free number?

Found the number and just called. My information got through fine and my fulfillment is in process. Sorry for everyone that was given bad news. That really rots.

The last week of December. I cannot remember the exact day but it was towards the end of that week.

I'm just waiting for the first post in this thread where someone has actually received their discs.

Re: Anyone get their 3 free hd-dvd's yet?

I called a few weeks ago and they said all my paper work was in order and to expect my free DVDs within 3 weeks. Sent in the form around early November. I'm hoping that means they will show up next week. My choices were Seabiscuit, Casablanca, and We Were Soldiers for anyone interested.

Re: Anyone get their 3 free hd-dvd's yet?

There was a post yesterday at AVS from a user indicating he had received his discs.

Sorry, I can't link to it right now, as there are a bunch of sites that for unknown reasons I can not get to.

Called again today and it was confirmed that my 3 HD-DVDs finally shipped last Friday(Feb. 9th). Here's the kicker, though..........they said to allow up to 4 weeks for shipping. Where the hell are these things being sent from, Sri Lanka?

Could be media mail. I've had a few things take 4 weeks by media mail.

I've never had anything take that long via media mail. I've actually received stuff from overseas in less than 4 weeks. I'm just hoping they're playing it safe with their estimate and that the discs will arrive much sooner.

Well, that's not terribly far away from my state(better than living on one of the coasts anyway) so hopefully it will only take a couple of weeks.

I'm not sure when they mailed it since I didn't see a dated postmark but I live on the west coast in California. I would imagine a lot of these went out around the same date. I would assume it would arrive much sooner then a couple of weeks. However with the post office ymmv.
