I really hope it's something good (a % off and free shipping).

I would be happy with just free shipping...anything added to that would be icing on the cake.

It's like deja vu all over again.

I spent last night browsing the titles that were less than a dollar. I had no idea Eric Roberts and Stephen Baldwin had starred in so many movies.

If you buy one of those titles either Roberts or Baldwin will hand deliver it to your house, that's how they usually do the free shipping.

Yes, I also see a lot of Val Kilmer, Cuba Gooding and Michael Madsen.

But Stephen has the choicest films:

Not that crazy about doing it this way...best deal will probably be the last one, but by that time, my wish list will have tumbleweeds blowing through it.

I'm predicting a complete clusterfuck. They already have enough issues with one code at a time lasting a full week. Now they think five in one day is a good idea? By the time you make it to the final checkout screen, the deal will be dead. I hope customer service is getting paid double for the next week.

NOT GOOD. The only thing I can think/hope is that it will be specifc to formats at the various times. In one word if this is the case: LAME.

re: Hastings / gohastings.com discounts and deals on Blu-ray

I remember another time they had one of these 1-2 hour window deals and I literally called 45 minutes after it was done when I realized instead of 2 of the individual titles I bought I should have just gotten the trilogy instead especailly since the 3rd title at the time was out of stock and they said "can't do it". Stated the time was up, and now like you say Dino I see issues like this for sure happening. JOY

re: Hastings / gohastings.com discounts and deals on Blu-ray

I am feeling much better about getting a couple of boxsets at the 20% off sale they just had. I am getting a feeling I have zero percent chance of picking them up when this starts anyway.

Keep it simple gohasting.

re: Hastings / gohastings.com discounts and deals on Blu-ray

I had over 100 DVDs in my cart this afternoon and now EVERY SINGLE ONE that was priced under $3 (i.e. all but 3 titles) is listed as 'Out of Stock'. I refuse to believe that many titles sold out in the span of an hour. I get the feeling Hastings is pulling a fast one before this "sale" goes live.

Same here. Everything in my cart and wishlist that's under $3 is out of stock. They were obviously pulled. Plus the sale ends at 5pm EST? That's terrible.

Total BS...what a crappy move on their part.

I have no interest in the sale now.

If the conspiracy theories are true, then they stand to lose a lot of money and know it. Which means your lack of interest plays into their hands!

A post from someone on Facebook:

I just spoke to a woman from Customer Service. She said they are excluding everything under $3 from the sale. We can purchase those items but not have them in a wishlist, we'll just have to add them to the cart directly. But they will not have any discount on them.

That doesn't even make sense. She sounds pretty clueless as to how the website works.

re: Hastings / gohastings.com discounts and deals on Blu-ray

If true, wonder if the term "discount" would apply to free shipping (or something like their shipping is only $1 per order offer from a few weeks ago.) Honestly I don't care if anything sub-$3 had a % off, but would definitely care if it's still over $2 a piece for shipping.

re: Hastings / gohastings.com discounts and deals on Blu-ray

Another Facebook comment:
I called cs and complained she first tried to say due to the sale right now alot of items were going out of stock. I pointed out that with the current sale the .89 to 2.00 items arent really a deal as you get no discount when you have those in your oder, and such a small discount for something like 2 dollars. In other words you really only get a deal at all on more exspensive items she agreed. Then she told me she would get in touch with tech support and assured me that hastings would not just take off all the cheap stuff as that would really upset customers. To that i will wait and see. I will say the more of us that call the better our chances are that they dont do this.
Since this was clearly a deliberate move on their part, I doubt anything will be done to remedy the situation. It's just a joke that they are making people jump through hoops ("liking" them on Facebook, 5 rounds of codes - all released during the hours most people are at work) and then remove more than half of their used inventory before the sale starts. I mean, they've had better sales in the past without all the crap they're pulling this time. I was down on Hastings before due to a botched refund, but now I won't be buying anything from them tomorrow. Not worth the hassle.

I'm going to be counting on you guys to update this thread with any codes and deals tomorrow in a timely fashion. I'm going to be stuck at work all day tomorrow, and while I have internet access there, I can't get on Facebook. So PLEASE, help those of us out who won't be able to get on Facebook.

No problem, I know I'll be posting the updates if nobody else beats me to the punch.
