buy.com weirdness - Blu-ray Forum

buckshot · 04-20-2007, 05:08 PM

first buy.com stopped recognizing blu-ray as a search, they recognize bluray and blu ray.

then they jack up the prices on a lot of their blu-ray titles after the ''sale'' they had on them.

now they listed robocop on blu-ray as a preorder. then as in stock.
then on backorder.
then in stock again.
then not available from the manufacturer.

I ordered it while it said ''in stock, ships in 1 to 2 business days''. then I looked around other websites wondering why i'd never seen it before. no other website has a release date.

is buy.com run by drunk monkeys?

Interesting. They are probably updating their software/database.

Robocop is not going to be released for quite awhile. I have seen pre-orders stating 2011 or something like that. It has been mastered and a few discs pressed but there are some problems with the licensing.

You probably already know it but I would call their customer service and ask them what the heck is going on.
