Yay! I'm Blu-ray Certified! - Page 4 - Blu-ray Forum

mystiksuicide · 11-08-2007, 05:20 PM

We still haven't received anything but they did say up to 2 months which would make it around Dec 20.

Will see what happens.

I just finished the training. Went to the page to order my swag and was unable to input my complete Canadian postal code even though the site clearly states that the certification/swag is open to US and Canadian residents. A little confused, I noticed there is a contact # at the bottom of the page to call with quesrions/concerns regarding fulfilment of your order. So I call it... and I get this;

Ring... ring... ring...

The other end picks up...

Female voice: "This is Sammy."

Me: "Uh, hello... is this the Blu-ray certification center?"

Female voice: "I'm sorry?"

Me: "Uh..."

CLICK.

I can't help but feel that there is something screwey going on here. Anyone have any insight into this?

I have a friend who did this test and has not gotten his Blu-ray yet. I told him about this and he called Kaizen Multi Media. This is what he found out:

When you complete the test,your info is sent to Sony who then sends out the blu-ray. They send the Blu-ray disc to the store where you work, not to your home, even though they ask for your home address. It takes time to process because Sony sends out in batches.

I'm not seeing any link beyond that I passed the test. Oh well, glad I gave a hotmail email and not my work. I just wanted the pin anyway.

I hope mine will come this week since, a lot of BD.com users received their free BD's today. Here hoping to get my packet soon

darkpoet25 · 11-18-2007, 01:36 AM

ckenisell · 11-21-2007, 11:01 PM

How long ago did you take the test?

CptGreedle · 11-27-2007, 02:28 PM

Well I have been waiting a while with no word about this. I wonder if it will happen at all.
I suppose it could happen around Dec 18th at the latest... I took the test on Oct 18th.
Anyone else get theirs yet and how long did it take?

mystiksuicide · 11-27-2007, 02:43 PM

Still waiting......

I just put blu-rayblowout.com as my company. I'm thinking about starting a retail outlet once Blu-ray finally reigns supreme. They must of checked who the website is registered to or something cause they sent it to me!

jkwest · 11-27-2007, 03:02 PM

Did you guys get all of the stuff?

I only got the movie and the little info card....no pin...

Oh, well...

CptGreedle · 11-27-2007, 03:06 PM

No pin? That's what I wanted the most

(I already had the movies they let me choose from)

Magic · 11-27-2007, 03:08 PM

I completed the training at the end of Oct and I am still waiting for my movie/pin......

bhampton · 11-27-2007, 04:02 PM

Still waiting.

Hope I get it someday.

Thinking it won't come but still check the mail box each day.

cawgijoe · 11-27-2007, 04:04 PM

have not yet received mine.

Pauliesr · 11-27-2007, 04:21 PM

I took the test and got 100% but it is not doing anything now. I check my report card and it says I'm still training and my progress is 6/7. I've logged out and back in with no luck and I've even taken the test a second time passing with flying colors but it's still not showing me as completed

mrbarker · 11-27-2007, 05:21 PM

I went through the training and took the test... but it looks like it ended on the 17th?

Course Name: Chapter Progress: Due Date: Course Status:
Blu-ray Training Course 7 / 7 11/17/2008 Complete

Did I miss out on the free stuff? I got another message:

Congratulations!
You are now Blu-ray Certified. Please visit our Blu-ray Facts and FAQs pages, or BlurayDisc.com if you would like more Blu-ray information.
Thank you for your support of the Blu-ray format.

But I can not choose a movie... Any ideas?

UlicBelouve · 11-27-2007, 05:47 PM

Sounds interesting, though if we really wanted the pins, you can get 200 of them for under $20. That might be an avenue, someone get a case of them off eBay, and sell them for $1 apiece, including standard mail.

This is, of course, for those members that may not be able to do the training, as they aren't really affiliated with a retailer.

Oh, well...

No pin either... must reserve them for floor salespeople.

I actually learned a few things about Blu too. Win win!
