Big box from Warner today/Harry Potter - Blu-ray Forum

C6 Z06 · 12-10-2007, 08:21 PM

Just like someone posted before, I got a box from Warner today that could fit at least 50 BD's in it and all it had was Harry Potter and The Order of The Phoenix. It was shipped separate from the other 4 which should come tomorrow.

I'm sure others have posted, but the PQ on this Potter movie is a solid 5/5. The depth and color are outstanding. I would say it is almost as good, or even as good as the Pirates BD's. Great job Warner (at least on this one)!

Warner's got cardboard boxes to burn....

No scrimping on the cardboard from them!

I'm bumned I got the box set... Seems I must wait!

My delivery of Potter 1-5 were rescheduled by UPS and will be at my door tomorrow, but it appears that they were all shipped together.

Just got home and my Harry Potter boxed set was here.

I was going to post some pics but my camera battery died after I took the pics. Anyway the only thing I don't like so far is the fact the first two movies and bonus disc come in a half or disc sized "book" where the others including the dvd game come in a full size "book" I would have much rather the films be in the same sized case or "book" and the rest could have been in the smaller cases. Going to watch number one right now.

there is finally a tracking number showing for a package, so im hoping it includes both the HP set and blade runner. guess we will see when it gets here.

JJ · 12-10-2007, 11:23 PM

gearyt · 12-10-2007, 11:26 PM

I got a pretty medium sized box with all 5 of the Potter bd's today. A day early! I know people have complained about WB hv online store but I have nothing to complain about on this one. Of course this is the first time i've ordered from them. but with the november coupon code and buying them all seperate, i saved a fortune.

aphex · 12-10-2007, 11:54 PM

is there a way to check if they sent it or not?
like a log-in thing?

BTW the reason for the huge boxes is because it's coming direct from their warehouse. They use the same boxes they pack dozens of discs going to stores in because it's probably cheaper for them that way.

I have a tracking number too. I was getting worried especially after everyone started to complain about their shipping.

C6 Z06 · 12-11-2007, 04:21 AM

Now I just got an e-mail telling me that my Harry Potter 1-5 gift set shipped out today. I would be really happy about this except for the fact that I cx'ed that order a month or so ago. A few times actually!

Now I have 10 Harry Potter BD's. Sweet!!

ha ha

I got my 1-4 today. Watched the 1st one and wasn't impressed with the PQ, hopefully it gets better as they go along, certainly glad to hear the PQ on the 5th one is excellent.

And yeah, I too was wonder WTH was in the large box until I saw WHV on the label.

Steverhcp02 · 12-11-2007, 04:52 AM

hmmm, i used the free shipping from amazon (shipping facility near my house onlytakes 2 days anyways

) I placed my order literally 2 hours ago, against my better judgement since im broke as crap but i might win my fantasy fotball league an dget $300.....annnnnnyywhooooo......my order is already being prepared to ship, which is strange for amazon for me with the super saver shipping.....i may have these by thursday for free shipping.......

Havent seen any of them, but i figured id enjoy them since i love LoTR, enjoyed Golden Compass and love HHGTTG might as well show WB that even a brok college kid will buy himself some BD's for his shiny PS3

Spankey · 12-11-2007, 03:18 PM

I just got my box set. A little disappointed. I think I would have preferred the indivdual packaging now. There is no way to take one movie without taking the entire set. Each movie is in a "notebook" sleeve. It is not very sturdy or something I would lend to a friend or family member. There is an extra "DVD" disc. A DVD?! Come on Warner.

Take the plastic top piece off and remove the ribbon. The ribbon will fit around all 5 movies and 2 blu cases

The cases are as sturdy as a hardback book, but just toss it in a spare keepcase if you're worried about lending it out

The game was done on DVD because doing it on HD probably would have added $10 to the SRP easily due to the complexity and expense of authoring. For something that's kind-of a throwaway wasn't worth it.
