[DEAD] Buy Watchmen - Get Black Freighter @ $5 & Another Movie Free (DVD / Blu-Ray)

[Nesmaster75]

I just got an email from Warner saying that if you pre-order Watchmen off their website, you can get Black Freighter for 5 dollars. I pre-ordered the blu-ray version, and got the blu-ray of Black Freighter, so I would assume it works with standard DVD as well.

All you need to do is go here http://www.wbshop.com/, add both movies to your cart, and at checkout, enter the code WATCH3.

The offer expires 6/30/09.

EDIT: This stacks w/ the Red2Blu code for B2G1 free. I was able to get these 2 and Amadeus on Blu-ray for $30.15 shipped. Go here: http://email-warnerbros.p0.com/regis..._NA_US&source= (http://email-warnerbros.p0.com/registration.jsp?title=ST_S000002_002_NA_US&source=) and sign up and they will email you the code. If you have already signed up for an account with WB, then just use another email. And your free Blu-ray needs to be cheaper than the Watchmen Blu (before the 20% discount - I think it was $29.95).

Thanks to BigErn for the update!

[lolwut?]

Hmm, seems like a pretty good deal. Are there any other coupon codes to make this even sweeter?

EDIT: WBSURVEY7 from a couple pages back doesn't stack with this deal

EDIT#2: Pass. Extra $7.70 for tax and shipping kill the deal for me. I'd rather put it towards the FutureShop steelbook or wait for the Ultimate Edition. Thanks anyways OP

[philmcfly]

I wish they would shed some light on the 'Ultimate' edition coming later on in the year (supposedly). It's a 305 minute version where they splice in The Black Freighter (The film version they shot, not the animated one that's released already) into the Director's Cut.

[CoffeeEdge]

It's a 305 minute version where they splice in The Black Freighter (The film version they shot, not the animated one that's released already)...

LOL, you've been lied to. There is no live-action version of Tales of the Black Freighter.

The animated Black Freighter movie is what's being edited into the Ultimate Edition.

[jling84]

What's the Ultimate Edition?

[62t]

http://forum.dvdtalk.com/hd-talk/550215-watchman-have-two-releases-theatrical-directors-cut-ultimate.html

[CoffeeEdge]

What's the Ultimate Edition?

It's the theatrical movie, with 40 extra minutes of live-action footage, and 20 extra minutes added by the animated Black Freighter movie being edited into the live-action movie.

So, it's a full hour longer than the theatrical film.

There will also be a Director's Cut DVD, which is just the live action movie with the 40 extra minutes of live-action footage, but WITHOUT the Black Freighter edited in.

[philmcfly]

LOL, you've been lied to. There is no live-action version of Tales of the Black Freighter.

The animated Black Freighter movie is what's being edited into the Ultimate Edition.

Nooooooooo. You ruined my already down pouring Thursday at 6:22 am. :(

I got free Standard Shipping for getting 2 DVD's or Blu-rays (obviously the ones in this deal) so i don't know how shipping killed it. How did your tax go for so high though....I live in NY & our sales tax sucks...and it was only 2.02 tax Stacking the WBSURVEY7 coupon screws up the black freighters price...so thats a no go. I think i'll get in on this deal though....I just wonder if a site like amazon would match something like this...seeing as I have Prime and it would get to me faster is the only reason i'd ask.

[pinoy530]

When you go through check out, for the sniping options it says ground $5.99, but if you go to the next page it says adds the free shipping coupon, I'm guessing he quit before hitting the next page.

oddly as well is the fact that i after I ordered...the sales tax went away.....that is odd. I mean.....its not like I have a problem with that...

[CoffeeEdge]

Nooooooooo. You ruined my already down pouring Thursday at 6:22 am. :(

Sorry, dude. :/

I think that the animated Black Freighter is pretty great anyways, so, I'm happy with it.

[blk00civicsi]

I'm in. $29.80 for Watchmen and Black Freighter. Thanks OP. I don't know why I didn't get the email from WB this time around.

[blk00civicsi]

I just wonder if a site like amazon would match something like this...seeing as I have Prime and it would get to me faster is the only reason i'd ask.

Unless things have changed, you could receive Watchmen up to 7 days prior to launch. It's happened with me on numerous occasions.

[advanced]

I can wait for the Ultimate edition, but I'll pass this along to friends and family. Thanks OP.

[anubis20]

In for 1 was gonna get from Amazon with prime but both came up to $28.96 at WB, thanks OP

[lolwut?]

Indeed. I just saw that and quit; I didn't want to go too far and end up placing an order without meaning to. It happened to me before on the Batman Anthology set, before I figured out where to enter coupon codes :-#

[flatliner718]

I like the fact they've shipped me The Black Freighter already.

[Nesmaster75]

I like the fact they've shipped me The Black Freighter already.

Yeah, same here. I thought I'd have to wait for Watchmen to come out to get both items, I guess that's not the case here...

[eastx]

This doesn't apply to the director's cut, does it?

[Nesmaster75]

This doesn't apply to the director's cut, does it?

If you're talking about the Watchmen Directors Cut, then yes (that's the version I ordered). If you order that, you get Black Freighter for $5.

[eastx]

The product description here http://www.wbshop.com/Watchmen-+Blu-Ray/1000089879,default,pd.html doesn't indicate that it's the director's cut, y'see...

[Nesmaster75]

The product description here http://www.wbshop.com/Watchmen-+Blu-Ray/1000089879,default,pd.html doesn't indicate that it's the director's cut, y'see...
When I added it, it showed a picture of it and everything. I'm pretty sure the bluray is ONLY getting the directors cut from what I've read around the web, and the DVD is getting the theatrical.

EDIT: Unless you live in the UK, which sucks for them... http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=2825 This page also mentions that the US will only be getting the directors cut on bluray, not theatrical (Thank God...)

[/URL][URL="http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=2825"] (http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=2825)

[Joda84]

This really is the best deal imo. Both Watchmen and Black Freighter for $30.18 on blu-ray. I have heard that WBShop has sent items out before release (how many of you had this happen?)

[lucid734]

Im in...........$30 for both?..DEAL!

[Rocko]

When I added it, it showed a picture of it and everything. I'm pretty sure the bluray is ONLY getting the directors cut from what I've read around the web, and the DVD is getting the theatrical.

DVD has both director's cut (2 disc) and theatrical (single disc) versions.

They must be in the process of fixing it. I had Watchmen/Black Freighter/Run Fatboy Run for $28.96. Started the checkout process and it jumped to 47.xx. Now I can't add watch3 to my cart.

[ryosnk]

I was able to get watchmen, Black Freighter, and the motion comic for $30 shipped.

[mbounouk]

This is my first time posting but I definately could NOT resist because the deal was so great! Not only did I get Watchmen and Black Freighter on Blu-Ray for 28.96 (w/ free shipping) I also got the Watchmen Motion Comic Collection on Blu-ray for FREE! So, for 28.96 (No Tax and Free Shipping) FLAT I got --- Watchmen, Black Freighter, and Motion Comic Collection on Blu-ray! Thanks to the BigErn's suggestion and the OP! SWEETTT!!!

Watchmen marathon, anyone?

[Stryffe2004]

Jumped on this. Great deal.

Ordered Watchmen: Director's Cut, Black Freighter, and RocknRolla on Blu-ray for 30.91 shipped. Great deal. Thanks OP and BigErn!!

Fuck, if this works I'm so in. I signed up a few minutes ago; any ideas on how long it takes to receive the code via e-mail? It's been like 5 minutes and I've got nothing yet.

EDIT: I got it, but I'll have to wait til Monday. I hope it still works then

EDIT 2: Ended up using a PayPal Virtual CC because of funds in my account. Everything went through and I got Watchmen, The Black Freighter, and the Watchmen Motion Comic all for $30.69 shipped! I was going to buy another Blu, but I've never read the novel, and it felt wrong not to throw something non-Watchmen in the order. Thanks again OP and BigErn!

OK, you're awesome BigErn. I also jumped on that as well, and I'll just return my first order. I would update the thread and mention your information, but I'm not sure if the deal is dead. My friend can't seem to do it. So if anyone else confirms it, I'll update it because that truly is an amazing deal!

[flatliner718]

I couldn't possibly avoid this deal. I already pulled the trigger on this before.....when i wasn't using the REd2Blu promo code... However using my original accounts e-mail definitely was screwing me(not applying the code). I created another one, and was able to get the benefit. I'll sell the 2nd copy of watchmen on blu-ray as well as the black freighter to a friend and if that doesn't work out...ebay. Hhaha fuck it..glad I checked this out before warner completely has this fixed (cuz this is quite obvious too good a deal to pass up)

[the-daryl]

Thanks OP, just ordered :)

[hiccupleftovers]

Will wait for the ultimate edition, especially since I loved the movie. I can wait and hold off(just like I have been for the Kill Bill complete ultimate set for awhile, and simply hoping for the combined Grindhouse). I believe/trust WB knows they'll make a ton of money off of the ultimate set and won't renege or postpone its release 'till G-d knows when. But if you're not too concerned about the ultimate set, then definitely go for this deal as it is definitely pretty sweet.

IMO you should just get in on the deal now, and resell Watchmen + Black Freighter a little before the Ultimate Edition is set to come out.

I want the Ultimate Edition too, but getting these early in addition to a completely free movie was just way too fucking good to pass up.

Just did it - works fine. Watchmen/BFreighter/Motion Comic for $30 and change shipped.

Great deal!

[Owen]

Great deal!

I placed the order for the same items but when I double check my order history nothing is showing up and I have not received my confirmation email yet. Is this normal or did my order not go through?

[jling84]

I just placed the order as well. I did not receive a confirmation email yet either. But unless I'm remembering wrong, WB takes a while to send the confirmation email.

[Owen]

I just double checked and the info is now showing up on my Order History at least. I was just worried that maybe the order did not go through. I can see Best Buy doing a deal with a free copy of Black Freighter or the Motion Comic when Watchmen is released but getting both at that price is too good to pass up.

[blk00civicsi]

They must be in the process of fixing it. I had Watchmen/Black Freighter/Run Fatboy Run for $28.96. Started the checkout process and it jumped to 47.xx. Now I can't add watch3 to my cart.

Finally got this to work. Had to create a new account as I had already used WATCH3 on a previous order the day before. Now to sell them to a friend.

[xbox_mole]

Did the same thing for the 3 Blu-Rays for $30.96 including tax. I did not get a confirmation email, but I printed the order confirmation page and have an order #. I also checked my CC and I have a pending charge, so I'm assuming all is good.

[mhnajjar]

Thanks a lot BigErn and OP :)

[xbox_mole]

Just an FYI, I ordered earlier this morning, and just checked my account and my order is now showing up in my account, but I have yet to get a confirmation email. Everything looks to be on track!

[trjlangdon]

Thanks a lot BigErn and OP :)

Ditto! Just got Watchmen, Tales of the Black Freighter, and The Shawshank Redemption for $30.69 8-) Thank you very much

[matowest]

Got in on the same 3 for $30-ish deal. No confirmation e-mail yet, though. Hope this works. Thanks OP!

[minimafiaaj]

am i the only one who doesn't see where to put in the promo code? lol if someone could point me in that direction.

[blk00civicsi]

It's in the lower left hand corner under your cart prior to you checking out.

[Padfeet]

Just got Watchmen + Black Freighter + 2001 on BD for $30.41. Amazing Deal.

[flybrione]

Thanks got Watchmen, Freighter and Poltergeist for $30.78

[dagarcia2678]

Thanks OP and BigErn!! Picked up Watchmen, Black Freighter and Motion Comic. Not taxed in my state, so I got all 3 Blu-rays for 28.96!!

[LinkinPrime]

Anyone know if those who were already signed up to the newsletter email can sign up again to get the B2G1 coupon? I just tried it but I was hoping to hear some success stories as I patiently wait.

[Furashu]

how long does it take for WB to email u the code?

signed up 2 hrs ago. still nothing!

[LinkinPrime]

I signed up another email address...got it within like 5min...Picked up both along with Green Lantern :br: for $31.06

Thanks everyone!

[zewone]

I got my email within seconds of signing up.

Thanks for the heads up on this amazing deal.

[tidwell]

I was wondering why the free shipping wasn't working...but it comes up at the end.
Watchmen, BlackFrieghter and RocknRolla for 30 bucks shipped? Glorious.

[nbballard]

um.. i added all 3 items to my cart (watchmen, BF, and 300). I tried both the codes, and it still shows as 50 something bucks.

What did i break?

[siradam134]

I'm pretty sure they fixed it so you can't stack the codes now.
for $30.69

just got:

Watchmen (Blu-Ray), Item # 1000089879
Watchmen: Tales of the Black Freighter & Under the Hood (Blu-Ray) (Digital Copy Edition) , Item # 1000046003
Watchmen: The Complete Motion Comic (Blu-Ray)(Digital Copy Special Edition) , Item # 1000091935


for $30.69, so i can confirm that it still works. you HAVE to follow the instructions of the OP very carefully.

the b2g1free code ONLY works if you click on the link in the OP's post and register with that website. You CANNOT use an email address that's already registered with wbshop.com

[The Chop Suey]

im trying it right now.. no dice on b2g1?

nvm i got it im dumb haha

[Techsticles]

Sweet thanks, excellent find.

Does WBshop have a history of canceling orders?

[blk00civicsi]

Sweet thanks.

Does WBshop have a history of canceling orders?

In the past people would cancel and WB would still ship the orders. Not the other way around. WBShop.com has since been overhauled so the likelyhood of that happening again are possibly slim to none.

[lawdood]

Wow...as MasterKyo would say...STEAL DEAL! Thx guys, in for Watchmen, Black Freighter and Watchmen Motion Comic Blu's for $31.xx shipped.

[evildeadjedi]

Does the free one not show up until the order summary screen?

[flatliner718]

I have 2 orders (one prior to learning of the additional blu for free) I got a confirmation e-mail to that one....so is anyone wondering or knows from other orders if they'll cancel these or is it pretty safe to say that these will go through? I mean I'll sell my Black Freighter Blu that arrives tomorrow if thats the case.

[tidwell]

FREE Shipping only comes up at the end. The additional 20% is tricky too. Would not worked on Digibook Batman, but would work on RocknRolla.
Hope they don't cancel...but this is a really good deal.

[darthdan]

Just picked up Watchmen: Director's Cut, Tales of the Black Freighter and the motion comic on BD for $28.96! Thanks for the heads up guys. Does anyone have a clue if these will all arrive at the same time or separately? Tales of the Black Freighter and the motion comic have been out for some time now and it would be nice to receive those before the movie's July release date.

My Black freighter was shipped last week. Its set to arrive tomorrow, so i assume if its in stock it will ship out.

[snipermike]

Got Watchmen: Director's Cut, Tales of the Black Freighter and The Shawshank Redemption for 30$ great deal thank you very much

[Pure Apathy]

I wish I could get the Batman book with this. Right now I'm leaning towards getting Gran Torino. Any other suggestions?

[Trakan]

Gran Torino doesn't work, it's too expensive.

Gran tarino wont work, since its above $29.95 (Remember price before 20%)

Does this version of Watchmen come with the digital copy?

[Numero5ive]

loving this sale. copped watchmen, black freighter and batman begins 31.00 shipped.

[Poor2More]

Wish I could get Friday the 13th on blue for B2G1

[Poor2More]

Sites dead....

[eastx]

I got Watchmen, Black Freighter, and Green Lantern on Blu-Ray. Thanks everybody!

[Trakan]

I resubmitted my order and I got it to work with Gran Torino.

They lowered the price, it was $32.00 when I put it in my cart this morning and it was $23.96 when I tried now.

[zewone]

Did you just cancel the first order?

I can't get it to work with Gran Torino. :[

[duckydan]

I cannot get any any discs to be my free 3rd disc using the B2G1 code and stacking with the WATCH3. Is the stacking dead?

[shrike4242]

I cannot get any any discs to be my free 3rd disc using the B2G1 code and stacking with the WATCH3. Is the stacking dead?Appears to be. Looks like the B2G1 code is invalidated when WATCH3 is there.

[Brak]

Son of a bitch.

[dabogues]

Damnit. And I was all psyched to finally get Blade Runner. Darned WB got smart and turned off the stacking. Jerks. I tried with a cheaper disc, too, and still didn't stack, so it's not the price.

[Techsticles]

Appears to be. Looks like the B2G1 code is invalidated when WATCH3 is there.
It's no longer stacking with Black Freighter counting towards the B2G1 free, you have to add a 4th title to the cart to get both deals.

[shrike4242]

It's no longer stacking with Black Freighter counting towards the B2G1 free, you have to add a 4th title to the cart to get both deals.Well, that's better than nothing, I suppose, though not the great deal it used to be.

[dabogues]

Eh...don't want them that badly. Still an OK deal, I guess.

[flatliner718]

Damnit. And I was all psyched to finally get Blade Runner. Darned WB got smart and turned off the stacking. Jerks. I tried with a cheaper disc, too, and still didn't stack, so it's not the price.
Im just wondering whats going on with us with existing orders.

[Techsticles]

Im just wondering whats going on with us with existing orders.
Mine shows everything but Watchmen is in the process of being shipped and I see my card was already charged.

[flatliner718]

hmm i didn't check the card....good call.

[dabogues]

Good job for everyone who got in on it! Color me green.

[dmdragon]

Yeah you would still get 4 movies for just over 50 bucks.. That is like a little over 12 a piece. If there are 2 extra movies you wanted then it's a good deal

[62t]

damn looks like i am too late

[xbox_mole]

A bit OT:

Am I just imagining or did I read somewhere that the Blu-Ray version was coming with a full copy of the Watchmen XBLA game? Maybe that was rumored in the super duper deluxe version people are talking about that is coming later?

[eastx]

Xbox Mole, that's a separate package for like $50.

http://www.ebgames.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?product_id=75203

[Furashu]

Lame..

still considering..

is the tales of the black freighter any good?

runtime for tales of the black freighter is only 26 mins.
ill pass.

[eastx]

Black Freighter also comes with an extensive documentary. Having missed out on the deal though, you should probably just wait for the Ultimate edition.

[Slim Gatsby]

Sad that I missed the deal...

But $51.50 shipped for Blu Rays of Watchmen, Black Freighter, Green Lantern, and Superman Doomsday is still sweet.

[shrike4242]

Black Freighter also comes with an extensive documentary. Having missed out on the deal though, you should probably just wait for the Ultimate edition.That's what I'm going to be doing, since I did miss out on it.

[rifle21]

Ok, so now I can't get WATCH3 to work with the b2g1 free at all, anyone else?

[bigdaddybruce44]

Black Freighter also comes with an extensive documentary.

Indeed. And it's quite good. It's an interview with Nite Owl I, essentially discussing a lot of the stuff in the excerpts from "Under the Hood" that are in the book.

[Maklershed]

Did anyone get their movies yet .. or an email receipt for that matter?

[eastx]

I haven't received a damn thing yet. I can't tell from my order status screen whether Black Freighter has shipped or not.

[erectiontown]

Ok, so now I can't get WATCH3 to work with the b2g1 free at all, anyone else?
i can't either

[KingofOldSchool]

Ok, so now I can't get WATCH3 to work with the b2g1 free at all, anyone else?


Because the dumbasses removed preorders from the b2g1 sale.

[shadowrage]

Black Freighter also comes with an extensive documentary. Having missed out on the deal though, you should probably just wait for the Ultimate edition.
Snyder has been doing interviews and they're all over the web. He says the ultimate edition is a "complete" version. With the animated stuff spliced in. He also said there would be no special features for it. His cut is the DC that is being released.

[Numero5ive]

i think my order has been cancelled. it doesnt show in my order history and my card was charged and now its been removed

[devoe]

I think the same thing happened to me!

[lolwut?]

i think my order has been cancelled. it doesnt show in my order history and my card was charged and now its been removed

Me too. I have the 30.69 back in my PayPal and the status in the transaction says Jun. 25, 2009 Cancelled Transfer.

Fucking fail

Edit: And this is now added to my order:



3. WB Shop Return Policy.

What does that return policy thing mean?

The charge on my credit card has also been removed, however my order is still "in processing"

What does that return policy thing mean?

The charge on my credit card has also been removed, however my order is still "in processing"

I'm not sure, but it's been added to my order (it now says 4 items). It's probably something on their end they use to cancel orders. Possibly marking it as a return before they ship it so their warehouse never sends it out.

I broke the cardinal rule on this one because I did not want to miss out on the black freighter deal as well. The customer service rep said my order was shipping either today or Monday and the confirmation email goes out when it ships. I had the return policy added to my order as well so you know.

The guys on blu ray forums say it's something all orders get, they're pieces of paper they put in all outgoing shipments with details on returning the items if you choose to (which makes sense cause a lot of the companies do the same thing)

[lolwut?]

Alright, that sounds hopeful. Anyone find out why they would cancel the credit card charge though?

I paid with a Virtual Credit card on PayPal, so I hope that doesn't cause any problems...

[shadowrage]

They do a test charge on the card to make sure the funds are there. My order still shows in process.

[xbox_mole]

Xbox Mole, that's a separate package for like $50.

Thanks for the info!

I broke cardinal rule also. I emailed them and this is what they replied...

"Thank you for the email. Your order for the Watchmen: Tales of the Black Freighter & Under the Hood and Watchmen: The Complete Motion Comic is now being processed and will ship on Monday. We were just waiting for the warehouse to check in the two items before we started to process the order. We will send you an email with the tracking number once the order has been shipped.

Forgive him Cheapy, for he hath sinned!

[metallicoholic]

Weird... I have to add three extra movies to my cart before the B2G1 works. Looks like they aren't counting Watchmen at all. This deal is a bust now, but at least the $5 Black Freighter coupon still holds up. Just not sure how much I care now.

[lolwut?]

Hmm. My paypal account now shows this:

Merchant: WBSHOP.COM BURBANK CA
Purchase Date: Jun. 28, 2009
Net Amount: -$5.30 USD
Status: Completed

Possible test charge? Seemed kind of high and a bit of a random figure to me, but we'll see.

[shadowrage]

That means they shipped it. Usually the total amount is the test charge. Individual price for a title put on your card means it's on it's way.

BTW - How do you get a paypal virtual credit card?

[eastx]

You have to install the Paypal plugin for IE or Firefox. Then it lets you generate virtual credit cards.

[lolwut?]

Unless I'm confused, my whole point is they only charged me $5.30....

Oh wait, Black Freighter was only $5. Haha, duh. So hopefully I'll be getting Black Freighter and the Motion Comic sometime soon!

And yeah, you have to get the PayPal plug-in. Search "Secure Card" on their help section for details. It's kind of a pain, but I only had funds in my PayPal, not my bank account, so it was perfect.

[derder]

dead, congratulations to all who got in!

my credit card was charged $5.28 early this morning. So it looks like Black freighter and True Romance will be heading out probably today or tomorrow.

[flatliner718]

I was also charged this morning, but yea since this is my 2nd order (my first didn't have the extra blu-ray) it will probably ship tonight or tomorrow with ups

[karkyco]

God damn it, freebie coupon won't apply. What a load of crap. $51.xx for the three movies is not good enough.

[Maklershed]

I ordered 6/22 and haven't gotten a confirmation email or anything and there's still a charge pending on my cc. I don't like this. :bomb:

[lolwut?]

Fuck me, the WBShop site is the slowest site I've seen in years. What a piece of shit. And there was no where to apply any sort of coupon during checkout, WTF!!!

You have to enter it at the shopping cart, not during checkout. I learned that the hard way awhile ago when I bought the Batman Anthology set.

[karkyco]

Yeah, I actually ordered the bundle by accident and had to cancel that order. Then I went to try to do it again, took forever just to get them into my cart, saw the spot where I enter coupons, entered WATCH3 and that worked fine, then entered my personal freeby code and that one said "Not Applied".

Man I would have loved to have gotten in on this.

[lolwut?]

Well I just got my shipping notice e-mail today, and the tracking number says it should be here tomorrow. It's gonna be a day chock full-o Watchmen :bouncy:

[ryosnk]

I just received my package of the watchmen comic and black freignter.

[jling84]

My order shipped! What an amazing deal!

[blk00civicsi]

Both my orders shipped. Expecting Black Freighter (Order 1) and Black Freighter & Motion Comic (Order 2) to be delivered 7/2.

[eastx]

I wonder why my Black Freighter hasn't shipped.

[eshbums]

Received Black Freighter & Comic Blu-Rays today.

[flatliner718]

double time.

I also received mine today. Did anyone's Black Freighter come with a slipcover?

[tidwell]

Still 'in process' for me. Not sure about my course of action.

[dagarcia2678]

Still 'in process' for me. Not sure about my course of action.

Same for me, I think I am going to give it some time without contacting them. As long as I get the deal, I can be patient. I probably will wait until closer to the Watchmen release date to get worked up about it.

[xoh96x]

They're currently OOS on the "tales of the black freighter"

"Unfortunately, the item you have ordered, Watchmen: Tales of the Black Freighter & Under the Hood, is currently on back order due to overwhelming demand.

Please accept my apologies for the delay. We are expecting the item to arrive shortly. We will send an email confirmation when your order is processed."

[bigdaddybruce44]

Wow, you lucky bastards. When this first got posted, I didn't pay that much attention, because I was gonna wait for the Watchmen double-dip. But damn. I would have jumped on this. What a great deal...

[xbox_mole]

I also received mine today. Did anyone's Black Freighter come with a slipcover?

Got both Black Freighter and Comic book on Blu yesterday. No slipcover for Black Freighter.

[tidwell]

My order status page says that everything is in stock and ready to ship.
I'll just hold out. I wouldn't mind if they took pity on me as I am one of the REd2blu Casablanca holdovers form late April...(I think).

[shadowrage]

Do the copies of Black Freighter have the digital copy disc?

[lolwut?]

Do the copies of Black Freighter have the digital copy disc?

I doubt it. That's why I asked if anyone received a copy with a slip cover (which would be the "Special Edition" that includes the Digital Copy)

[xoh96x]

I doubt it. That's why I asked if anyone received a copy with a slip cover (which would be the "Special Edition" that includes the Digital Copy)

I'm hoping this new batch that they get in are the special edition ones since they're ran out of stock of the ones they shipped ya'll

[shadowrage]

I doubt it. That's why I asked if anyone received a copy with a slip cover (which would be the "Special Edition" that includes the Digital Copy)
Warner doesn't make special versions of movies. The back cover and ISBN(whatever it's called) is the same as the one with slipcover.

I was curious about because mine hasn't arrived yet.

[arinaldi]

I hope it is a site maintenance thing, but my order is not in my history at the wbshop. I did get charged for and received my black freighter but now it does not list any transaction for me. Anyone else?

[blk00civicsi]

Probably site maintenance. I've ordered several times from there and all of my order history is missing.

[arinaldi]

There are two versions of Black Freighter because I was at Target today and the version they had included a digital copy. The version I got from WB doesn't.

Seriously? This is the first time they've done this. I guess they planned for it be $5 for a reason. They have the same barcode though...from what I can tell I just got mine.

[lolwut?]

Same barcode or not, they do it. Same thing happened with Gran Torino (Best Buy version didn't come with a slip or Digital Copy, but everywhere else I went did).

[eastx]

Does the packaging differ between the digital copy and no digital copy versions? If the UPC is truly the same, you could just buy it in a store and return the unopened digital copy-less version, getting your money back. Which would be naughty.

No it doesn't, and that is entirely possible.

[tidwell]

Wow...after no e-mail confirmation or anything, my Black Freighter and RockNRolla shipped out yesterday for a whopping total of $5.30 shipped. Damn.

[flybrione]

Black Freighter and Poltergiest finally shipped out. Thanks again for the great deal OP!

[eastx]

My Black Freighter finally shipped too. Sweet.

[darthdan]

My copy of Black Freighter and the motion comic shipped out yesterday as well. Thanks again.

[Poor2More]

Shipped out also :)

[Pure Apathy]

My Black Freighter and Gran Torino shipped out today and should be here tomorrow.

[JPCERTIFIED]

You guys all need to complain to WBshop since they list Tales of the Black Freighter with digital copy but ship out none digital copies. Got my copy today and no digital copy.

[shadowrage]

They aren't doing that with just Black Freighter, as lolwut pointed out. They are doing this with all of their new titles. Best bet is to return it at a store and grab one with a slippy.

Warner has been getting greedier and greedier in the past 2 years. This is just more proof. And I'm not talking about the store, but the whole home video department.

WB preparing to double-dip before the initial version is even released; 5-disc Ultimate Edition due in December:

http://www.blurayfreak.com/2009/07/watchmen-ultimate-edition-in-december.html

UPDATE: Allegedly, even though it's the "Ultimate Edition," it won't contain most of the extras from the initial release...d-bags.

http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=3075

[tidwell]

Just got my RocknRolla and Black Freighter....no digital copies in either. Lame?
Hey, I only paid 5 bucks, but slipcovers and digital copies would've been nice.

[Pure Apathy]

Got Black Freighter and Gran Torino today. Gran Torino included the slip case and digital copy.

[Poor2More]

Got my

Watchman motion Comic (blu) came with digital copy and slip cover

Watchman black freightner (Blu) no slip or digital copy

[Owen]

I just noticed that on my invoice for Black Freighter that it does mention Digital Copy so it does kind of suck that it was not included. Hopefully the same thing does not happen with Watchmen when they send it out.

[jonlubbe]

is there anyone out there who actually uses the digital copy? Just curious.

Its pretty much a non selling point for me.

[JPCERTIFIED]

I put them on my ipod which connects to a portable dvd player. I can travel in style with my 22 movies in my pocket. I think people dont care for them now but they will later on in the future.

[eastx]

I put them on my laptop. It's very convenient having good copies of all those movies wherever I take it.

[lolwut?]

I don't usually use my digital copies, but I prefer to have the better, more complete release of the Blu if it's available. Plus I like slipcovers :D

That's pretty shitty. I sure hope it doesn't come with some outrageous pricetag, or I doubt I will even pick it up.

Anyone know if the "Ultimate Cut" adds any new footage that isn't going to be on the Director's Cut? I know the Black Freighter is spliced in, but I'm wondering if there is any additional new footage

Looks like unless you did Director's Cut + Motion Comic + Tales Of The Black Freighter, you're doing Director's Cut + Ultimate Edition to get everything into the mix.

Guess I'm pre-ordering the DC after all. @whee.

The extended edition has the animated footage spliced in. And it has a different commentary or something like that. But the DC has extras the Ultimate version won't have including Ultimate Movie Mode(which is supposed to be the greatest PiP/commentary ever made) according to Snyder).

The Ultimate version is something for the hardcore fans. I'll stick with the DC.

OP, edit the title to reflect this deal's deadness. I don't check this forum often and got excited when I could get Black Freighter + Another movie for $5 only to read this deal died June 30th :(.

http://www.highdefdigest.com/news/show/Warner_Brothers/Disc_Announcements/Watchmen:_Ultimate_Collectors_Edition_Blu-ray_in_December/3030Interesting. Maybe not so terrible for a double-dip, though Ultimate Edition makes me think it should be the whole thing for a single purchase. :-s

[xbox_mole]

Well I wrote to them about the lack of Digital Copy on black freighter and was told that it should be included with the disc or there should be an insert with a code to activate the copy. I wrote back saying there was no code on an insert and if they could provide me one to unlock a copy.

Has anyone's Watchmen Blu-Ray shipped out? I was under the impression that Warner tends to ship movies prior to their release dates, but mine sure hasn't shipped yet.

Really? That would be badass. I haven't been charged for anything yet, but I know there are people with their own retail copies already :cry:

Anyone know if "Single-Use" SecureCards can be charged twice? I think it should be alright because I was charged the $30 for the order, refunded, and then charged the separate $5 for Black Freighter, but I just don't want to run into any problems come Tuesday.

Not yet EA stx ;) (just kidding)

[sunnysky]

I used to use them a lot when I was working in an office. I'd put my ipod in a speaker dock (but use headphones of course (AT WORK)). When I'd be working on a spreadsheet, or whatever, I'd have movies sometimes on in the background.

[Owen]

My neighbor got his copy of the Motion Comic and Black Freighter on Thursday and both were without the slip cover, so it seems they ran out of the Slip Cover edition of the Motion comic now as well. I better get my Slip Cover on the Watchmen Directors Cut if it comes with one at all the other retailers.

[Stealthcat]

Best Buy has something similar to this coming on Tuesday, you get the DVD version of Black Freighter or Motion Comic for $5 with any Watchmen purchase (Blu or DVD/any version)

[eastx]

Yeah, $35 + tax for all three is not a bad deal at all. You might even be able to use the $3 Chex Mix coupon (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=187932) to make it $32 + tax.

[lawdood]

Has anyone's Watchmen Blu-Ray shipped out? I was under the impression that Warner tends to ship movies prior to their release dates, but mine sure hasn't shipped yet.

Just checked my order status. My Watchmen Blu still says In Process. I too was hoping to get it by release date or a day or two after but at this rate, I dunno.

Received the Motion Comic and Black Freighter Blu's like 2 weeks ago.

[flatliner718]

Yea still in process for me as well. I hope I at least get it for the BD-Live event this week.

[shadowrage]

They ship new movies on release day now, and they ship ground now instead of 3-day air.

[Nesmaster75]

Yea still in process for me as well. I hope I at least get it for the BD-Live event this week.

Yeah, me too. If I don't have it by then, I'll just buy it at Best Buy or something and keep my receipt so I can just return my WB copy.

[Techsticles]

Mine is still in process too. If it takes as long for them to ship it as the other 2 movies took, I probably won't get Watchmen until the end of next week.

[flatliner718]

Mine is shipped, so just to let others know to be on the look out for theyres coming from wbshop

[anubis20]

i just bought it from BJs for 22, if my wb copy ships ill just return it

[lawdood]

Mine finally shipped too. Went out first class mail.

Called today, order is in the final stages of processing and will ship tomorrow.

Still waiting! Ordered Coraline (on release day) from DDD and that's already here. Used to be that DDD was crazy-slow...but now, WB is the king of that hill. Oh well, the price was right!

My neighbor received his copy on Saturday via 1st Class Mail with no shipping confirmation and he had ordered his copy a few days after me and I am still waiting.

[ryosnk]

I just got my bluray copy and the slipcase was abit damaged but that ok. I would have like to have gotten when Zack was going to do the SDCC feature.

[flatliner718]

I got mine today and it was in excellent condition. It was shipped in a bubble mailer so i'm kinda surprised seeing as my "rotating" mail person don't seem to care about they're handling.

[lolwut?]

I also got mine today. A bit of corner-wear, but nothing too bad.

Thanks again for the great deal OP

[eastx]

Mine finally shipped on the 29th! Not that I got a shipping confirmation email. I wrote a complaint email earlier that day. The response yesterday indicated that my mistake was ordering Green Lantern as the free Blu-Ray. They held Watchmen until Green Lantern came out. I find that odd since Black Freighter shipped way earlier, but I'm just happy that I'll have everything soon.
