If you look around here, there are a couple posts on this already. I think there's a 25% off code for Warner Home Video that brings the price for the HD-DVD format down to $83.99 or something like that. Thats where I ordered it from.

Does that code work at all for Blu-rays?

[gunawi]

I hate warner home video online... I ordered ocean's trilogy and it's been more than 1 month and they havent sent it yet. So expect long delay if you order anything from them.

I got my BD Harry potter box sets from Barnes & Noble w/ 50% coupon + 10% member discount. $60+tax shipped. But that was around a month ago...

What is this 50% coupon you speak of??

[LinkinPrime]

Basketkase543 the coupon was for members of the Barnes&Noble book club it gave you 50% off any item (iirc) online, its already expired too.

For those of you that ordered on WHV store...Let us know if you get it, I had ordered Ocean's Trilogy along with Harry Potter Set on HD DVD but I never got Ocean's so I just recently canceled. Now I'm wondering if they had held the order to ship both items together.

[Gorge]

I canceled my order for Oceans, Bladerunner, and HP box set from WHV online. After Oceans being on backorder for more than a month and the thought of not receiving any of my movies in a timely matter I got fed up with them.

I'll buy Bladerunner off amazon for an extra 3 bucks and just wait for the next DDD sale for Oceans and HP. At least you actually receive movies from DDD.

[JasonTerminator]

Yeah, it took like 2 or 3 months for my Corpse Bride to show up from WHV. If I hadn't got such a great price I would have canceled much earlier.

It's good for patient people, but honestly in the time you'll wait, you'll prolly find a comparable price that won't take months to ship.

[Demolition Man]

I called every day to Warner's customer service over my Kubrick's a few months ago. Didn't take too long before they finally showed up. Just be persistant and put a little pressure on the phone rep that you want the goods you paid for to be sent. Eventually you'll get the goods.

[LinkinPrime]

Did anyone get a ship confirmation from WHV yet?

[Demolition Man]

Did anyone get a ship confirmation from WHV yet?

Let me put it this way... I got my "ship confirmation" a full month AFTER I got the goods.

[Animal7390]

this should really be in the request thread or keep an eye on the dvd deals threads

[Kfoster1979]

I also ordered the HP set from WHV and I have been thinking about canceling and just ordering from Amazon it's been in my gold box a few times for 97ish.

[LinkinPrime]

I have to check my gold box more often for 97 I think I would bite...then again, its not too far from its current 104 price.

[rsigley]

i got my HArry Potter box set from WHV Today along with Blade Runner (???)

ordered both oct 30th

[MrDubbs]

WTF? Blade Runner isn't supposed to be out for 2 weeks...

WMV's website is horrible at updating. Like I said above it wasn't until a full month after I got my Kubricks that it finally went from "processing" to "shipped."

My credit card hasn't even been charged yet so I thinks its safe to assume my Potter has yet to ship.

[tayaf69]

I really wish someone was having a deal for HP. I had it ordered at WHV, but they canceled it on me. :cry:

[argyle]

I have my HP blu-ray set preordered at WHV, and I felt pretty good about that until reading this thread.....thanks guys. :-P

[gkrykewy]

I have the HP set and Blade Runner (HD DVD) on order with the WB store. My experience with the first disc in my order, 2001, was that it arrived on the release date, but I didn't get a shipment notice until a month later. Not bad at all!

[Demolition Man]

My credit card hasn't even been charged yet so I thinks its safe to assume my Potter has yet to ship.

I wasn't charged until the "ship confirmation" was sent as well.

[Demolition Man]

I really wish someone was having a deal for HP. I had it ordered at WHV, but they canceled it on me. :cry:

You were supposed to call them on the third notice of it being "delayed" to let them know that you were still interested in wanting the goods. Of course they put that bit so far buried deep in that e-mail that I'm surprised that I even noticed it.

I got no such email...?

[MrDubbs]

Is it safe to assume then, that if I haven't recieved any emails from WHV, that my set has shipped/will be shipping shortly.

[Link127]

my order is cancelled too. any more 25% off codes for the WHV store?

pisses me off they did it, but i wanna try to reorder since it's so much cheaper at the WB store than even Amazon.

[jovherye]

New code is DCBM.

[Demolition Man]

I got no such email...?

Here's the one I got. Came from WARNER HOME VIDEO.

How odd -- I never got an email like that. I ordered on 9/18, and both HP and BR are still "in process".

[Ice2Dragon]

Borders has a coupon now for 25 or 30 percent off any box set, or dvd or something.. i used it on paprika and the die hard collection.

damn them for selling retail.. but theyre the only ones who have those things.

Try borders.. the coupons they give out are amazing.. 40 percent off a boxset is incredible.. itd knock the price from 129 to nearly 65 ish.

Mine has an insane amount of blu rays and hd dvds.. they have everything thats come out recently.. Plus mine has these huge ass cases for things like the harry potter set..

I wouldnt be surprised if they do though :)

All 3 Borders by my place has only carried a few HD DVD/BR movies...So I don't expect to find HP at them anytime soon. Hopefully the HD DVD set will show up in my Goldbox on Amazon for $97.

[Kfoster1979]

Here's the one I got. Came from WARNER HOME VIDEO.
Well I have no e-mail like that so maybe I will get mine on time.

Unless Borders carries the giftset, and we get a scan of this supposed 25% coupon, this is the best deal I believe.

[tayaf69]

Thanks. I just ordered it again and am going to be stubborn this time. I don't care how long it takes. I ordered HP and Ocean's 11, 12, 13 gift set. I guess I can look forward to seeing this in March! :)

[Stingercjc]

I have received three e-mails from Warner Home Video since I ordered the HP BR collection on 11-2. They all read as follows.

As you can see, in the e-mail I was sent, I had to call in to cancel the order, not confirm it. Odd how they are sending out different e-mails like that. On the plus side, an 88 dollar pending charge showed up Firday on the credit card I used to purchase it. Hopefully I'll end up getting it this week.

[BigC777]

Don't forget if you ordered from Amazon when they started with HD/Blu Ray you got the 10% of all High Def Discs till end of 07 - worked great for me - even stacked with B1G1 Free Sale recently - The set was $94.45 total (I chose free shipping naturally)

[Kfoster1979]

Just took a look at my Receipt online and it has a tracking number showing next day air. So it looks like I will have Potter on the 11th.

[Ikohn4ever]

why not wait for 2 more movies to come out to buy the Omega Set

[Santurio]

Ordered 9/30 and it looks like it will ship tomorrow w/ Next Day Air

Looking back at my emails I did get one that says call to cancel and then the last one that said call to confirm order, which I never did but it seems it went through fine.

I love how people's are shipping before mine, who ordered after mine..

I ordered Sept 23rd, and it still says In Process

[gkrykewy]

WOO, mine is shipping next day air too. Go go WB store!

Because I cant, in all honesty the Potter movies were one of the main reasons for me to get the HD-DVD add on. Yet I bought them on Blu ray because of the uncompressed PCM and my PS3 can do that unlike my non HDMI XBOX.

[MrDubbs]

I placed my order on 9/18

I was referring to Santurio's, but it looks like mine shipped today

[Demolition Man]

My shows it shipped and will be here tommorow. Looks like Warner has fixed whatever issue it was. :D

[life.exe]

That what I was wondering.

[Bezerker]

That what I was wondering.
The series wont be completed on dvd til late 2010-2012. I'd say a 3 to 5 year gap could justify a double dip.

But who knows, in 2012, we may have dvds that play at 1440p or 2160p.

[jonlubbe]

Mine came this morning, not sure if i like the packaging though. would prefer the individual disks to be in standard packaging that I could remove from the box and keep on my shelf next to my other movies.

Any contact information to see if WHV can mail me out a set of the boxes? (unlikely i know)

[xeno]

got the set this morn and i love how they put eatch dvd in a book like case

Hrm, that is disappointing. If you have any success getting them to send you individual cases, definitely let us know.

I feel the same, however, I just bought 5 blu ray cases off ebay and will print off the cover art. My friend decided to eBay his set and just buy the stand alones.

[guyver2077]

my hd dvd set shipped yesterday and arrived today!

very nice set indeed! i posted pics in the hd thead

[mykevermin]

It's a very cool set, and they have had pictures of the set's contents for months. You have nobody to blame but yourself for overlooking those.

My set arrived this morning. Very cool all around, and I'm looking forward to watching all of these.

Don't get me wrong I love the set. I just want to keep them on my DVD rack and put the box up for safe keeping. I should be getting my new receiver soon (Onkyo TX-SR605) and I can't wait for the uncompressed PCM tracks.

[mykevermin]

I can appreciate that much. I have a spare BD case from Sony's "Fifth Element" replacement program, and may use that to store one of the movies.

[Bezerker]

Heres a site that sells HD/BR cases for 65 cents each and lower (depending on quantity ordered).

http://www.sleevetown.com/holiday-hi-def-sale.shtml

Unfortunately it looks like BR cases are backordered until late next month.

[Kfoster1979]

So I was reading Digtal bits today and came across this

"One last quick note today - some readers who have purchased Warner's Harry Potter: Years 1-5 - Limited Edition Gift Set on Blu-ray Disc are reporting an unwelcome surprise in the case. Films 1-3 and 5 are the Blu-rays as ordered, but The Goblet of Fire is the HD-DVD version. D'oh! Make sure you check your case before you leave the store. Wonder if the same is happening in reverse. As Bits reader Stanton Z. so sagely noted via e-mail this morning: "Isn't this the poster child for why there shouldn't be TWO hi-def formats?" Yep."


And I thought to my self I didnt really take a look at my discs I just gave it the good old once over. And to my surprise I found this.......

[Koggit]

That's actually just hilarious.

[Link127]

my credit card was stolen, so i tried calling up Warner to change the credit card I used to preorder the :hd: version of this giftset. also, I tried to switch it to the :br: version, but Warner wouldn't let me make any changes. to my surprise the UPS guy came this morning and delivered the :hd: version. I wonder what Warner will do - they couldn't have charged my card for it since it was cancelled before they charged my card.

now i just gotta wait for my :br: version.

edit: i guess they did charge me

DO NOT ORDER THIS BOX SET!
I have three friends who ordered the Blu-Ray version and all received HD-DVD Goblet of Fires. I called WB today to cancel my order (unfortunately it already shipped), but they told me that there is a very large error ratio and apparently if affects 70% of their box sets. They said it's even some stand alone versions as well. There is no word on how they will handle this, but they told my friends to wait another week and call back. That is complete BS. The lady I talked to told me to refuse shipment and they will give me a full refund. Looks like I'm buying the stand alone disks and praying they get it right. This just proves that stupidity behind two formats. I hope they lose a lot of sleep over this!

On another note, my friend's box set looks pretty crappy and it doesn't fit with the rest of his Blu-Rays. Very unfortunate.

Also, for the person who wanted contact info, 1800-364-6928 is the number. They have really nice customer service reps, but be prepared to wait awhile.

[Jedi1979]

my Blu-ray set was fine...only thing that i didnt like was that the bonus disc seems to be a regular DVD...only reason i brought the set is because i havent seen a single HP movie and i have been meaning to so it was the best deal...probably when i am done i may unload it...

i would have much rather they released a cheaper boxset with just the movies in their blu-ray cases

If its any consolation Wal Mart B&M has all the movies sold separately for $18.96 each.

[mykevermin]

Looks like HD DVD might win this week by accident. :lol:

I checked my discs, and they're all marked as Blu-Ray. I'll watch them to see if they play, though. God only knows if they fuck this up, they could as easily have printed BD labels on HD DVD discs.

[Ice2Dragon]

My blu ray set came perfectly.

A friend got the hd dvd set at the same time.

His was fine too.

No worries.. there are errors every once in a while.

I just now finished watching them.. Jeez :) Long day. Great movies.

DEMO MATERIAL - OOTP. Holy god. I slow mo'd through a few scenes.. amazing...

The other movies werent as good pq wise though..

[Captain_Insano16]

Does anyone happen to know if the HD-DVD or Bluray versions of each movie have the additional scenes added back into the movies (like the versions they show on ABC Family)?

[sparklecopy]

why the fuck aren't hp movies 1-4 as good as 5 in terms of picture quality? harry potter 1 is only 6 years old. This is a travesty. I'm pissed as hell. It seems that WB, who had the best DVD quality, is kinda the worst quality in BD's. All my WB discs don't look as good as the SONY discs. 300 looks bad too. It's messed up that they use DVD masters instead of remastering the entire thing for 1080p calibration which they did with HP5. I've noticed that with a lot of Legacy movies. they just use the same DVD masters, so you just get like a 20 percent bump in quality from a DVD. shameful and lazy. You know they will remaster it again and take your money again.

[rsigley]

i think 300 was meant to look like that tho and wasn't the result of lazyness

[lawdood]

Received my Blu Ray boxed set today from WHV and sure enough, Goblet of Fire was an HD DVD. Anyone else this happened to heard from Warners yet as to how they're going to resolve it? I have an HD DVD player but would of course rather have the set all in one format.

[Kfoster1979]

Got an E-mail today to call them (WHV) about the Harry Ptter issue. After a 5min call with someone who sounded like she was on the shipping floor they are sending me a replacement disc.

[aznguyen316]

if anyone wants to sell their HD DVD 4th disc alone after you get a replacement BD, shoot me a PM, I'll buy it haha don't mind not having a case. I liked goblet of fire.

also I have only an HD DVD player, is the 5th pq noticeably better than the rest? I wanted the set but now I may only worry about the 5th for now.

[aznguyen316]

sorry also are these combo discs for the HD DVD set? as in dvd player readable as well?

[mykevermin]

no.
