idjit dragon Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Out of interest, I went back and created a new order for an HD-A1, and it would not let me apply the DVDTALK code to the player...oh well, my order is still in process, so who knows it might still happen.

Maverick Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Well i've hedged my bets and placed an order for the XA1 as well, seeing its probable they will cancel the A1 order.If they both get canceled, t'was not meant to be for me. Then again, i'm up $$$$hit creek if they both go thru! I would not worry too much so long as you can cover the initial outlay I an certain you will be able to on sell one of them on ebay. Hey all, for those looking for a step down transformer I just happened to come across this one which is 250W for $79 plus delivery in case you are interested. http://www.mstation.com.au/ms/products/default.asp?ID=513 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewW Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 did you try while logged in as you? It may recognise that you have already used the coupon. Try logged out if you haven't. yeah I tried it logged out as well. also, I was mucking around earlier today and it was still showing the discount when I put one in the basket. funny, entering one of the other codes worked, maybe they have disabled the DVDTALK code. Andrew. ************** UPDATE ***************** Don't give up hope. I emailed them this morning, as I was afraid that I might have deleted the credit card verification email. I just received this back Our records indicate that your order have been processed, it is in release confirm stage. Please be assured that it will be shipped out shortly. We appreciate your business. WOO HOO !!! Andrew. Edit: Sorry Alpha, I feel bad about being happy when yours was cancelled. Hopefully you just put your credit card details in wrong and having another go will work.

brooksy Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Yeah i should be right to cover the initial outlay if i have to Mav. Looks like your going to have to change your sig Andrew! Good stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 I've sent them a mail asking that if the A1 is out of stock and discontinued then to give me the discount on the XA1 if it is still available. There should be no problems with the CC details I gave them, they also have photocopies of the front & back of my card so theres no doubt. I think I just must have pushed the button last so I miss out....such is life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brooksy Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Well it seems my order for the XA1 is being processed(?) I've received the email with order confirmation number and its says that the XA1 is "in stock". Since I ordered the XA1 after I ordered the A1, it should get canceled. Would have preferred the A1 $$ wise but I'm still happy with the cheap price of the XA1... here's hoping it it's all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewW Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 OK, apart from DDD, where else can I purchase HD DVD's at a reasonable price and with a large selection? (Am I asking too much? ) dvdpacific are even cheaper than DDD amazon come a close second (dvdpacific still beat amazon, even with amazons 10% deal). both of these require purchasing 4 or more discs to spread the pain of the shipping costs (by my calculations).

ajm1503559545 Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Well, according to my order status screen my entire order has been cancelled. Still got the HD-A1 and four discs in the shopping cart while I procrastinate and dither. I wish there was some kind of resolution to this so I can make up my mind here! For the sake of everyone here I hope it all goes well but if that happens I'm likely to hit the 'submit' button and that means big strife with Mrs ajm when that massive carboard box arrives on the doorstop - supposed to be getting the dent in the car fixed, tyres replaced, armchairs in the lounge and two new bookcases - oh yeah and Mrs ajm is getting close to dropping the first (two) Mini-ajm(s) in a few weeks and I imagine that'll be something I need to spend the money on! So while I've got my fingers crossed for you all my will power is weakening and the wallet groaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 What was your order number cause I think you beat me. mine is 26974217 Mine was Order Number: 26973899 I think I may have missed out when they sent my order through the fraud area to validate my CC They got back to me to say they couldn't replace the cancelled item with another I've asked them to cancel the whole order and I'll place another order with the XA1 - guess I'll have to use another one of those discount codes :ph34r: Thanks to whoever it was that discovered them, I think a few people around here owe you a few beers! Well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
