Its been two business weeks since netflix made the blu announcement, has any subscribers noticed instock/turnaround any better yet? I want to sign back up but not to have everything a long wait in the que.

Has it really been 2 weeks already? Geez, time flies when the world's going Blu. I haven't noticed any difference with the Blu-ray stock though. I've had Blade Runner as the first on my list for awhile and still haven't got it, so...

I was kinda figuring it was still too soon, but one can hope?

Not sure, but I was able to get The Amateurs and Good Luck Chuck. I had not been able to get anything even recent for months. On the flipside, I have been purchasing and preordering a lot, which is a lot more fun, though more expensive. There is still a long wait for Blade Runner and Elah.

More unusual was that I could not get American Gangster. I have never had trouble getting HDDVD releases. They must have acquired a smaller lot, or those with players are trying desparately to use them while they can. More HDDVDs have waits now than I have ever seen.

I called them 2 weeks ago and complained that they always skip through my first 7-10 titles in the queue. All are BDs but some show as availability NOW or SHORT WAIT and as soon as I return something and check which one they send, they all showed LONG to VERY LONG wait again.
They apologized and told me they're working it out and within a few months this should not happen anymore. Then she offered me 2 free titles to ship immediately (on top of the 3 at a time we have) and that she will make a note on the account to ship out the BDs next.
Last week 1 got Dragon Wars (unfortunately), Mr Brooks, War and shipped out today are The Brave One and Saw IV, which all were LONG to VERY LONG before.

I really do hope they get this fixed sooner rather than later.

I mean I got about 200 movies in the queue at most times anyways, most of which are not available on BD (yet) but getting excited about a title to ship and then it is skipped again made me quite mad.

I've been with them since early 2004 now and tried Blockbuster at some point in between (and canceled after a month of service). Overall I am pretty pleased with their service and most of all the collection they have!

I noticed that quite a few of the ones I had in my Queue changed from very long wait to short wait so maybe they did get some extra stock. Also they have been bending over backwards lately to send me movies I have next on my list recently I got We are Marshall from Houston, Tx and I live in Mass

NO! I turned into 3 movies this past Mon. They have not shipped anything out to me as of Fri (today).

Turning movies in on monday kills your chances are getting new realeases on tuesdays. Best bet is to have them in the mail by Sat morning and they should receive them on monday. Least thats how it works for me I always get 3 new movies on tuesday whether they are new releases or not

You're not understanding. They received my movies on Monday, yes on President's day, I received emails from them. They have yet to ship anything out to me as of today.

Do you have only movies that have waits left in your queue?

DeeChizzle · 02-23-2008, 03:05 AM

Yup a total of 8 movies all with wait times. Yes I use to keep movies on my list that were readily available but I found out that Netflix takes advantage of that and I never get a new release. I finally received Sunshine last week..it was first on my list since release date.

PS3 Blu-Ray · 02-23-2008, 03:41 AM

LONG to VERY LONG wait again all in my list for blu, especially with new titles released in the last 3 weeks, I hope blockbuster around my way gets blu on release dates one day, I'll cancel netflix real fast, I've been trying to get Man on Fire for the longest time, It was in my list and said short wait, I wanted other movies but took them out to make sure I got man on fire first, so 3 DAYS GO BY, then it turned into long wait, how does it tell me short wait, then go to long wait, now its at very long wait, they are wasting my time so far, and have a month more to prove something to me

I've noticed a shorter wait on the discs on my list.
