That's awesome. eBheyers like that suck. Kudos to CC for coming through for you guys, and screwing the eBhey leeches.

I'd be very impressed if CC honors its error.

I'm in the same boat. I ordered 1 but still haven't received an order number or any e-mails after the first one.

For those that got theirs shipped, when did you order? I got mine in a few hours before it was noticed on May 21st around 5AM PST. Back of the line so I'm not expecting it to go through. I'm sure I'll get some kind of coupon though!

I also got the shipping confirmation, but was sceptical as nowhere it says HD-DVD.
Now reading this thread I guess its the HD-DVD after all.

So now i have the HD-DVD set without a HD-DVD player. Its going to be sometime before i get one. I am not going to buy one for anything more than $50 (no rebates).
Well its going to be a show-off item anyway (all box sets are).
My guest will think I have a HD-DVD player.

My order status has remained the same:
Order No: Pending
What's up with that CC?

Bastards. Just got off the phone with a manager named Nathaniel. He says that if you never received an order confirmation number and your credit card wasn't charged, you're not going to get the HD-DVD's. He says that since they never charged the cards, they don't need to honor that price. I argued with the guy for over half and hour and he wouldn't budge. Asked to speak to someone higher up and he said he was the highest person on the customer escalation chain. Offered me a $25 CC GC instead and refused to honor the price even though I had the e-mail that said they would honor the price error.

My order was placed on 5/21 at 7:30am or so. This is really frustrating.

Apparently Wal-Mart and Sam's Club are selling the Toshiba HD DVD player for $249 for a limited time.

This looks like a huge YMMV.

However long it takes...I'm going to wait it out..until CC cancels the order.

"Apparently" is not good enough...to venture out...
Have you or someone you knew actuall seen the price at store?

I actually received an e-mail saying that my order was canceled after it sat in pending status for 2 days. That's why I called after I saw the status change to canceled.

interestingly enough -- many people here and on sd did not/do not have an hd dvd player but were ready to buy one -- soley because of this deal

i am one of those people -- but i dont think the deal went through for me (my cc was charged but item is backordered)

if toshiba or whomever actually did this deal for real and marketed accordingly-- think of how much they could have gained (market share/profits/whatever)
yes sure they offer 5 hd dvds at this time -- but those titles don't even compare to matrix trilogy (though only the first one was amazing)

HD resolution can not make that turdly series better. They should have left it at one movie.

A few at AVS and elsewhere have already bought the players for this price.

I can't check personally because this is only US pricing, and I'm in Canada. I don't really care enough to check actually anyway, since I already own an HD DVD player.

Unfortunately, I couldn't make use of this $20 Matrix deal either. I bought the Ultimate Matrix Collection from Amazon for $66.56.

I am mistaken. It was not Wal-Mart and Sam's Club.

It was Cost-co and Sam's Club.

$249 HD DVD player proof here

It's the Toshiba HD-D2 - which is just Cost-co/Sam's Club version of the Toshiba HD-A2. I think the HD-D2 also comes with an HDMI cable, but I'm not 100% sure.

This order shows merchandise that is on backorder. You will receive a shipping notification and your account will be billed as each backorder item becomes available.

Same that I am seing, I wonder what the price will be when it comes back form backorder (ie will it stick with the price at order or will they try to charge the "correct" price)?
