Agreed
Also regarding the Borders stocking issue with the Blu-Ray of Benjamin Button, it doesn't look like B&M Borders stores are carrying this right now.
As I mentioned, their .com site has the disc listed as "Not Available In Stores" and I did not see any copies of the Blu-Ray with the new releases when I was at work today.
I want my Amazon Order of Dexter S1/S2 to ship already

Maybe since this is a major release for them, they don't have enough clear cases to use? This isn't Wages of Fear we're talking about, this is a new $100+ million hit starring Brad Pitt. I think demand will be slightly higher.

Star Trek TOS:S1? (CBS Television, but still a division of Paramount and has Paramount logos on the box...)
Yeah, I know, Dolby TrueHD is used 99% of the time, and DTS-HD MA is the exception....still, you should have said Paramount USUALLY does not use DTS-HD MA, not that they DON'T.....

Star Trek is CBS (while being distributed by Paramount) and had no choice.
Paramount is TrueHD if they can help it. Disney, however, has changed over to DTS thanks to the lucrative deal they struck late last year. Which is great for us since all new BD players include internal decoding now (and not at a premium price!).

Got the following email from Amazon.
I'm a Prime member and ordered it on March 24th. Plus I can't cancel since it's already processing. Would have done that and gotten it at Best Buy instead.
Unfortunately, we are unable to ship the item(s) as soon as we expected and need to provide you with a new estimate of when the item(s) may be delivered:
Lois Hall, et al "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button [Blu-ray]"
[Blu-ray]
Estimated arrival date: May 12 2009 - May 13 2009
We apologize for the inconvenience caused by this delay.

I haven't received an email, and mine has been in "shipping soon" all day still with tomorrow as the "delivery estimate." They'd better be shipping it next day air from somewhere. Especially since it says "In Stock" on the product page.

I sent them an email around the same time as my last post, asking about the delay, and explaining my Prime, order status, etc. I got an email an hour ago saying it shipped.

Yeah that is...curious. Although I'm looking at Delivery estimate, and it's for tomorrow, as opposed to the usual two day shipping, so I'm guessing they overnighted it.

This is the first time in a long time that I have pre-ordered something from Amazon. I don't think I'll be doing it again anytime soon.

Not sure where you live (apartment complex, house), but ask a neighbor, maybe it got delivered to the wrong place.

Mine arrived from Wherehouse shrink-wrapped but with no slip cover. I noticed the copies in Costco did have the cover... I wonder if those are only offered at B&M stores?

That's one thing I always get concerned about with UPS (or FedEx) is that sometimes they just leave it right at the step out in the open. Now, sometimes it's hard to hide it, but at least make an effort. Thankfully, I have a screen door so if it's small enough, they can put it there.

Call them because they seem to be able to check the exact address the package was delivered to, even if it was incorrect.
