Come on Romero let the rest of us know how you are having no problems with your orders :twisted:

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 14 Jul 2007, 14:57

I order titles no one else orders I guess

when I order something else I will say how it goes, but nothing I want latley so thats not gonna happen for a while unless a real bargain shows up.

Title was dispatched July 11th (that's the day after I ordered it).

Obviously they posted it, blame Royal Mail and their pathetic Strikes!

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 14 Jul 2007, 18:03

Yeah I doubt the strikes are helping much.

I had to wait 2 weeks for a CD I pre-ordered a month before release and could've had it on release day. No loss "for me" as I was happy to wait due to the much cheaper price.

No offence but when you check out it clearly charges your card, this is irrespective if it's a pre-order or in stock item, it's the same check out process. It's how CD WOW operate, it's no big deal IMO. As you'll either get it swiftly, have to wait or if you wish pop them an e-mail and they'll refund you swiftly.

seems to be the new releases/pre-orders are what's getting delayed.if it's an older title and in stock there seems no problem.

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 14 Jul 2007, 18:46

Pretty sporadic shipping it seems on some forums, some people are getting all their dvds and some get none

some are getting certain titles shipped, some others with the exact same titles are not. Guess its down to luck

It sounds like a distributor not CD WOW problem.

saltysam · Post by **saltysam** » 15 Jul 2007, 14:33

it might be a cd-wow problem if the distributors have stopped supplying them-as it's region 1/2/3 releases that are being delayed the distibutor problem must be pretty widespread.

More likely then CD WOW can't keep up with demand.

At the moment I'm not buying many DVDs (at all) as I'm waiting until I get an HD Player. I'll have loads to buy then. I am buying the odd DVD where I'm sure it won't be on HD for ages.

saltysam · Post by **saltysam** » 15 Jul 2007, 17:55

i'm the same,only pick the odd dvd up now. recently only some shaw titles,waiting on Deadwood s3 from cd-wow, just picked up The Rock on blu-ray and my next 3 pre-orders are 300,Hot Fuzz & Shaun of the Dead,all hd-dvd titles/combos

Sam, does the US HD-DVD of Hot Fuzz have all the extras from the UK 2-disc SE? Ta.

saltysam · Post by **saltysam** » 15 Jul 2007, 18:25

Thanks, do you mean the Region 2 DVD or HD-DVD?

saltysam · Post by **saltysam** » 15 Jul 2007, 19:11

FYI: I heard Hot Fuzz HD-DVD has all the extras but only on the HD-DVD side. Salty please confirm when it arrives.

I've heard great things about this film and want to check it out now but also don't want to get the DVD. The HD-DVD Combo would be perfect for this.

saltysam · Post by **saltysam** » 15 Jul 2007, 22:23

Aren't you for people seeing movies and making up their own minds, rather than by going by the opinions of reviewers? Good going, way to contradict yourself.

@romero: PWNED!

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 16 Jul 2007, 17:14

Brad hates many "culter" films and I didnt say DO NOT SEE IT, I didnt even come close to saying that, and I didnt say go by what any reviewers said at all. I was commenting on the fact it didnt get great reviews from everyone, thats for sure.

So I am not even close to being PWNED or contradicting myself. Tardises. :headbang:

I am getting Hot Fuzz, but only when its cheap, as its not worth full price thats for sure (not many films are nowadays) the extras alone will be fun for me as I listen to all the commentaries, and Shaun of the Deads are superb so hope these are too.

Just checked and I've had my Ghost Rider and 300 R3s shipped. Yay, cdwow rule!

And I ask what you've been reading? Which is also a contracdiction btw when you keep telling us all Reviewers are scum and you don't read their reviews.

As for Hot Fuzz it's had 4/5 star ratings one after the other, so too from the public.

He he it's not the first and won't be the last time Romero contradicts himself.

It was Romero who brought up reviews not I.

romerojpg wrote:Brad hates many "culter" films and I didnt say DO NOT SEE IT

Odd word to opt for when we are talking about Mainstream films. I liked Die Hard 4, even if it was nothing at all like any of the previous films and may as well not be called Die Hard.

You're half right though, there is way more utter rubbish from Hollywood over the past 3-4 years than there is good.

I didnt "read" any reviews before I saw the film.

I have never in my life said all reviewers are scum, you just talking total and utter bollocks.

As I said I DID NOT contadict myself at all, you muppet. Learn to read, along with Eva.
