Edit: This is just the people you didn't have user IDs for . . .?

Yes. Everyone else got a PM. There were a lot more than 6 players in this shipment; it was even bigger than the first shipment. The third and final shipment will also go out this week. You are reading way too much into posts....even if there were only six players (which there weren't) would it have mattered? I already said that the remaining will be going out by the end of the week. My Panasonic contact got them late yesterday and is processing the shipping paperwork.

Naw, I wasn't reading too much into the post . . . I wasn't reading it closely enough. I didn't notice until after clicking "Submit Reply" that the list was only of those for whom you didn't have IDs, not a comprehensive list of group two. Thus the edit.

It was after midnight when I posted. I pulled a Michael Bay.

Here's hoping your Panny contact doesn't tell you tomorrow that there will be a fourth shipment.

I was told that you were put on the list, so it should have shipped. PM me your address so I can verify it matches what is on my list, and I will do some further verification on Monday.

Adam, sorry I never responded to this - I was on vacation in Zion NP and the hotel we were staying in never got their internet working the whole time.

At any rate, I just spoke to the guy who's watching my house and the XA2 arrived Monday.

Thanks again for all of your hard work!!

Craig-
Good to know, I will take you off my problem list which is down to Sam Posten. I'm trying to track down your tracking number so you can arrange to redirect your XA2. Jodi from Toshiba is trying to get it from the wharehouse, but she is overseas at the moment, so it may be another day.

Heroes was sentout via FedEx today. Still collecting the other titles and I still hope that they will go out by the end of the week.

There were a few HD DVD players that we were able to wrangle for some HTF staff and reviewers. Those went out today via FedEx. Heroes was included in the box for these players. I'm not sure if they were overnighted or sent saver.

Howdy!

Just got my BD player. I've noticed a bit of speculation, so it's worth mentioning that it comes with the 5 standard discs that were mentioned earlier (Fantastic 4, the first two "Pirates" movies, Crash, and The Transporter). Also, it was just in it's own box, but at least this one made it through without ending up completely open!

Guess I'll try running it through the questionable switcher, just to see what happens. Probably end up with the same prob as the HD DVD player, but want to find out for sure. At the moment, I don't have enough HDMI cables to go around, anyway.

Thanks, again, Adam, for all your great efforts and another thanks to all involved in making this possible. Have quite a few more BD titles (around 15, though 2 are the second "Pirates" movie) than HD DVD titles (3) at the moment, so now I can really get busy! :-)

Due to high cost and low income, I don't plan on going HD with every title that comes out. However, there are quite a few no-brainers, such as Blade Runner and 2001 (along with numerous animated films and possibly the Harry Potter box). Weehaa!

Toodles;

NOT an endorsement. Not even a suggestion.

I'm just sayin'.

$1.13 HDMI cables

Just a bit of trivia, I saw prices on the last batch of HD DVD tracking numbers today and it was anywhere from a low of $77 to a high of $119 per player to overnight them to us.

I also confirmed that the third and final batch of BD players was released today which means that they went out the door today, or will go out the door tonight. I will have tracking numbers late tonight.

Adam - any way of knowing how Heroes was shipped...priority? home delivery? I am just trying to get an idea of timeframe.
Thanks!

Sam Posten · 10-03-2007, 09:50 PM

Adam, sorry if you misunderstood. I am away but arranged to have my Xa2 delivered to my office. I have confirmed receipt from them, and wll pick it up tomorrow afternoon. I see my BD deck is still in transit from Cali and I should be home long before it gets to my house, I may redirect that one to my office as well so that it doesnt get in the no signature cycle as well tho.

Thanks again!
