View Full Version : Did anyone ever get their 5 free movies

I remember sending the info in. Never got anything. It's been, I think, 3 months now (I think I picked up the PS3 in July, about a week after the price dropped).
It's not horrible. My life won't be made worse by not seeing those 5 mediocre movies in HD. Still - I would have thought better of them had they not offered the free movies at all rather than offer them and not ship them.
I made sure everything as in the envelope - I'm good there (I always make sure I match the rebate/offer rules to the letter). I'm not going to track it down, though - too much trouble for 5 movies I can live without.
Anyone else get their 5 free movies via mail?

there is a phone # to call and verify if they got the info. My husband has spoken to them, they are very nice. Mickey
Nope. I ordered about the around that same time(might of been June). I've given up hope

Got mine in around a month, maybe less. BTW, there's already a thread about this. It's got the contact info so you can call 'em up and check on it.

Mine came fairly quickly, but again, I sent the rebate out at the very beginning of the promotion.

Mine says it's still processing, too, but thanks for the link. I don't think it's been quite 10 weeks yet since I mailed in the offer, so I'll keep checking back.

I wish mine said in progress. It says no record found.

Don't get too worried. Mine never showed on the site until after I had them in hand.

Nope. Mine shipped on 8/23 and I still haven't received them. Called them on Tuesday and got a 2nd order placed. Hopefully that one will show...

Thanks for the link I sent my offer 3 weeks ago, and it says in process so at least I know they are working on filling it.

I recieved a postcard in the mail from them saying "Thank you for your recent blu-ray disc player purchase. Due to high demand on this offer we regret to inform you that there is a delay in shipping out your free blu-ray discs."
So I mailed in my rebate on Aug 12th and now the post card gives me a ship date of 11/04/07 and asks me if I would like to cancel. LOL

I just got the same postcard today, with the same 11/4 ship date. :[
I was planning on just flipping these for cheap to cover the cost of a new game. (Actually the original plan was to take a chunk out of the PS3's price tag, but it's been so long the purchase longer registers with me.) So, I'm not really on the edge of my seat waiting for these but the long delay is still annoying.

I got my 5 incredibly early. I bought my PS3 in mid-July, and I got my 5 movies before mid-August. I was suprised really at the speed. I was expecting them maybe Octoberish

For those that got them ... did they ship them by US Postal or UPS?
blah~ i got the same postcard in the mail today. do they really expect people to just give up and cancel on this? it's not like you really have all that much to lose by waiting another month or so

They ship USPS.

He he, yes, I want to cancel so that I don't have to receive FREE Blu-Ray movies. What are they thinking? Save the money of postcard postage and send me an email explaining the delay.

just got this damn postcard. I am seriously thinking about selling my ps3. This shit ridiculous!!!! I got it for blu-ray, knowing that the games would be a year away but so far I only have 2 movies and the movies I want are from paramount and universal and they've backed HD DVD!!!! SOny has screwed me for the last time. Rumble is coming and we'll be stuck with obsolete controllers that don't rumble. There are no games and I just hope I can get 450 bucks back for this dumb piece of shit. I'll just get a 60 dollar upconvert DVD player and just play my wii until the ps3 goes down to 200 bucks which it will in a year and a half cause the PS3 is dying my friends. sony has fucked up so badly. my patience is gone. if you have stock in sony, sell it. xbox360 just sold 1.5 million more systems cause of halo 3. no japanese support til late 2008. only 2 games for ps3 - ffxiii and mgs4 and they won't be exclusive for long because halo 3 just opened the floodgates on ps3. no Home til 2008. There is no reason to buy a ps3 at all unless it were 300 bucks right now. as it is, it's 500 and it's not a good deal.

Atleast the site has me on file. Worst case- I forget about the and they never show.

I bought my PS3 at the beginning of August but never sent the form in. The form leads me to believe as long as you buy your PS3 by 9/30 and send out the form by 10/31 your fine. Is this the case?

I just got in on the last day (yesterday) for the promo. I'll be sending mine in soon after I get back from Memphis, which will be Fri evening and my PS3 will arrive at home this Wed. Honestly, mediocre or not, I'd be pissed if I never got mine. Sorry at least a 100 bucks worth of movies is a little something to be pissed about

I just got a PS3 on the last day of the promotion. I looked at the 18 movies offered and I gotta ask, why would anyone want any of these? I wouldn't take them if you offered them to me on the street for free.

Which movies did you get? I sent mine in 7/17 and just got the postcard, and online it shows all as 'in process' still.
This whole rebate situation is really bizarre. (how some people got their movies in 2-3 weeks, and the delays, random sending, etc)

babel is a good movie, corpse bride is good at least to show how great 1080p content can look. yeah the selection is crappy but you can sell/trade them, worth 10 minutes and a stamp.

I got the postcard about these being delayed till 11/4, but then on a whim I just checked the order status site and it says they shipped a couple days ago. So... hooray? It looks like other postcard people have had similar experiences.
And yeah, I was planning on trading most of these in. Originally I was thinking half.com but prices on the movies I got have plummeted. (I wonder why!) Anyone recommend somewhere with a good trade-in deal on brand new movies?

That's pretty scummy of them, considering free blu-rays is the offer's entire point. On one hand I'd say complain, but on the other... I don't think making a fuss to correct one wrong movie is worth the time and effort.

Mine arrived today.
I'm trying to decide if I'm better off keeping them or pawning them off on ebay.
The UPC's were all perfect on the DVD's but I'll resist the urge to keep them sealed until December 26th and try to return for credit at Best Buy without the receipt....

Just got mine and already listed most of them on half.com. While I'm waiting for them to sell, are there any retailers who have a good trade-in deal on new movies? (Not the "I lost the receipt" kind.)
