How long does it take to get these?

I filled out the form and placed my order 3 weeks ago.

Anybody else in this boat

Pirate · 01-09-2008, 09:36 PM

I've heard as long as 6-8 weeks.

The same fufillment house that sends out the five free HD DVDs ALSO SENDS OUT THE FIVE FREE BLU-RAY DISCS!.

The BD offer is run by Buena Vista Home Entertainment but the same company fufills orders for both HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc free offers.

So there are long waits on the BD side too.

If true, BVHE handling both formats offers would def slow down the process.

Anyway 4 months. If ya get yours before than feel lucky punk.

I think I sent my rebate back in the end of November.

Still waiting. The should by the end of this month, I don't plan keeping them either.

Sehnzeleid · 01-09-2008, 09:52 PM

I sent in my rebate the last week of October, got them two days ago.

Frankie · 01-09-2008, 11:17 PM

12 weeks??

Holy crap. What do they have one guy picking orders?

Monrozombi · 01-09-2008, 11:25 PM

I sent mine in about a month ago, so i'll expect them by March or so

Anyone know a reason why these are taking excessively longer then all over rebates i've ever seen?

Hey thats fast, back in the day when bought my first DVD player in 97, they had 5 free by mail thing as well. I got them over a year later!! When I got them it took me an hour to think why I got them lol(unfortunatly as a result I had already bought three of them by then).

PunkMunkey · 01-09-2008, 11:48 PM

I sent my rebates in for the PS3 and the A2 back in September...I got the Blu Ray movies in last week and the HDDVDs in just two days ago.

Better late than never I guess.

I just got the HD-DVDs a few days ago as well, but I sent away in late November.

Rileydog · 01-10-2008, 12:13 PM

The return address label on the package read Minnesota...which is closer to Wisconsin than California, hence additional lag time getting to me...wither that or they just like you better.

sub780lime · 01-10-2008, 07:34 PM

I believe official wording on the form said 6-10 weeks.

Sweet. I ought a get mine overnight then.

ganthc · 01-12-2008, 12:12 AM

My free hd-dvds took almost 3 months and had the UPCs burned off. I need to send in my free blu-ray movies because of buying my laptop, but I haven't gotten to that yet. The Fifth Element got back to me quickly...like in a week.

thunderclap · 01-12-2008, 04:57 PM

My rebate printed up from Best Buy said 10 weeks.

Rileydog · 01-13-2008, 04:55 PM

Got mine on Tues while at training, so about 8 weeks total i guess.

And, there is an awesome sale on AMAZON today.

Ruined · 01-13-2008, 05:10 PM

I'm getting:

The Prestige
Superman: The Movie
Devil's Rejects
The Patriot
Species

Where are you at, Vonner? (Seems like we Minnesoootans are a minority around these MB parts...)

Again, yeah, me too! Slim pickin's with these free discs in the last two categories; I can't stand any of those films, but at least The Patriot and Species are enjoyably dumb (especially after a few too many cocktails, which will also probably negate any appreciation of the HD part of things

)

Here's some Devil's Rejects captures.

Still he gave it an 8/10 on his HD Image Quality Rankings using a Sony KDL-40W2000 and Sony Black Pearl VPL-VW60.
