Did the buy-a-thon kill Amazon? - Blu-ray Forum

Yes. I ordered Planet Earth and it's still not delivered. My non-BLU stuff ordered at the same time was shipped.

What, did they keep just 3 copies on hand?

lol. I guess. I knew it wasn't just me. This order is taking forever to process.

YEa my order has said preparing to ship for the past 24-30 hours or so...

Beats me, but I got my discs at Best Buy, and only got pre-orders on Amazon...
Would be crazy if it has that kind of effect on the store.

I have seven blu's which haven't been delivered. None of them were new, so any delay should not be because of the distributor.

The people at Amazon are probably in a panic right now. They're all like "what the hell!!!"
Next we'll see an official announcement that Amazon.com will no longer sell HD-DVD because Blu-Ray is selling so well.

Not likely.. unless we make every day a Buy-a-thon!

If your order contains Troy, that would possibly account for the delay. I got an email today from Amazon stating that my order will be delayed by about a week. My other stuff for this week shipped already, but I had specified that it be shipped as the titles become available. If shipping as cheaply as possible then it might delay everything until they have Troy in stock. Other Warner titles like Smallville might also cause this but I'm not sure as Troy was the only Warner title in my order.

My copy of "Planet Earth" seized on disc one when the "2 | Entertain" logo started to play. My exchanged copy is working fine. Check them all when you get it and make sure you watch them all before the 30 day return is up.

I already watched disc 1, and watched all of disc 2 last night. INCREDIBLE.

We see lots of incredible CGI stuff in movies all the time, but when you see this, and know that it is real, it becomes that much more astounding. Especially on blu-ray.
