Doh! I *swear* they weren't there the other day :p

Doesn't matter, I've got both of them anyway (moonraker is a personal favorite bond film :))

7cy has been around for well over a year.

i haven't seen a code last less than a few months. again, when things become available for enrollment, what studios CH offers for enrollment, when codes end, these kind of things can only be guessed upon based on trends.

2637106 - A Clockwork Orange
2703403 - A Beautiful Mind
0103903 - Ran

I guess I am easily amused. I opened this account around 715AM on a Sunday morning, and the phone rang almost two minutes before someone picked up. The woman sounded hoarse from a long night of partying, and ended the call by encouraging me to have a "Good evening." I wanted to email a couple Advil to the poor soul; she needed them.

LE is the best IMO, because of the unique casing. the DE is virtually identical, but comes in a regular case, though it does have the MIB 2 trailer, and perhaps 1 or 2 more extras.

dead poets society
good will hunting: collectors edition
tommy boy

hope it works. i realized just now that she didn't ask what type of credit card i had after she asked for my number. does this mean something? will they be able to figure out what card i used? its a mastercard?

thanks for the deal!

No problem there, the starting number tells them that.

Here are the details on the starting numbers:
3 - AMEX
4 - VISA
5 - Mastercard
6 - Discover

And I would imagine there are others, like Diner's Club, Carte Blanche, etc.

FYI: those titles have poor audio quality, according to the widescreen review link, which i previously posted in this thread.

No offense, but I think most people buy movies like this to watch them, not listen to them and critique the audio quality. :D

But thanks for the heads-up anyway.

kinda sad how they normally charge so much for the dvd ($32 for good will hunting) yet theyre probably going to offer a better copy later on. but it's a good flick. quality will definitely be better than the one that some poor soul is watching off of a sony handycam.

I always go by audio/visual effects and widecsreenreviews for them..No point buying a DVD with no special effects !
As good as watching TV or the conventional VHS.
