DVD Talk Gold Edition
It is (was?) a very generous promotion (don't want to seem to greedy), but boy are they fouling it up. I see the Switzerland/Ukraine game finally shows up on the list but of course it wasn't listed where anyone could make a pick on it. And now they've listed Tuesday's games as being played today (wrong!) and of course are showing them too as unavailable for selection.

Made my first order yesterday through the link, but I got a refund today with no explanation. Is this common? I didn't use any coupons or anything, just the link.
I ordered Spaced and Little Britain series 2.
Thanks.

Yup, the Tuesday games are now actually listed and available for selection as Tuesday games (as opposed to expired Monday matches). Good that the promotion is continuing, despite the glitch with the Switzerland/Ukraine match today.
It seems what happened with you has been reported every once in a while by others too. I once ordered a Masters of Cinema title (only using the discount link) and had my order cancelled because they said they wouldn't be getting the item any time soon (even though it was a fairly new release). The next day or so after cancellation, they actually had a $7 price drop on the title so I tried ordering again. The order was accepted and it shipped a couple of weeks later. Long story short.....maybe wait a day or two and try ordering again (maybe try ordering at a different time, if you ordered at night then try placing the order during the day....just thinking out loud on this part, since maybe you get a different shift of workers reviewing the order or something...I don't know). Good luck with your order.

Thanks, Ill probably give it another try. If I can't get it, it's no biggy, because Ill have to buy a new region free dvd player anyway.
Does anyone know if there is any good portable dvd player that can be made region free and has component out? I'm having a hard time doing a worthwhile search for that.

I have a Polaroid portable DVD player and it's region free. I don't have to do anything-it just plays all regions.
I also have a cheapie DVD player that will play all regions but you have to program the exact region needed.

Another $4 or rather 2 pounds I'm not getting for the Italian game. I got the correct score, cd-wow shows that I got the correct score, yet nothing new on the voucher end. same with the portugal game from yesterday. why o' why couldn't I have gotten more correct scores before this mess. Not too sound greedy but if you tell me something and then don't come through, what am I to think.

I created my account on the .us site and my first couple of vouchers showed up there (in US$), but ever since then, all of my vouchers only appear on the uk site. I tried deleting my cookies, but it didn't help. I email cd-wow to see what's up, but didn't get a response.

If you use the link and a coupon, and they cancel the order, what happens to your coupon? Does it reemerge in your coupon bank or is it just gone because you already "used" it? Or hell, for that matter, what happens if you just use a coupon and they happen to cancel it due to insufficient stock like Starman amd Flixtime are discussing? What happens then?

Also, my predictions from Sunday apparently didn't register properly which is annoying as both were the right results and one may have been the right score.
Those for tomorrow appeared to register but, because they showed as nil-nil, I tried again and got the error message. I'll have to see whether I can get them in and confirmed before midnight.
I seem to be stuck with dollars but I'm ok with that as the exchange rate is good and I can certainly use the $4 codes.

For "State/County", just play it safe and spell it out completely as opposed to the two letter abbreviation.
Enter your city/town in the "Address" portion (in the next available line after you first finish listing your street address).
Then you should be good to go.

Thanks, seems like it worked, I also added my state abbreviation to the Address line. My order is still pending, but the others were cancelled right away.
Im looking forward to some good BBC tv.
Now to find a Philips or Cyberhome player...

Ouch, what gives with the price spikes on CD-WOW US?
Onibaba MoC R2 for $26.19 ?
Bensons for $ 21.15 shipped.
I realize that Ron Benson is part owner of Eureka! (ergo MoC) but outside of a Bensons sale I have'nt see a price discrepancy this wide for a CD-WOW MoC.

Well, CD-WOW is once again consistent for me. I just received my R2 Dog Soldiers that shipped one week ago to the day. I have ALWAYS received what I order from them exactly one week after it ships, not a day sooner or later. The size of the item ordered doesn't make a difference either. It's always been one week exactly.

I just cancelled my order at CDWOW. Got the same email for the 3rd time.
"Thank you for contacting me and sorry for the delay in dispatching this item.
Unfortunately, we have experienced a slight delay in receiving this product from our suppliers and we are currently awaiting confirmation of when the goods will be available for dispatch.
As soon as we have this information, we will let you know by email.
Once again, sorry for the inconvenience caused to you by this delay, and thank you very much for your patience – it is sincerely appreciated."
CDWOW would be even better if they would notify you first of an issue instead of having the customer make the first contact.
I think I'll order All the President's Men with my $4.00 voucher!

I think I ended up with about six $4 coupons, I have 50 coupons overall. All of mine are in $$$.
And I know shit about soccer.
I just made my picks by going with the Spanish speaking countries. If it was Spanish speaking vs. anything else, then I'd pick the score to be 2-0. If it was Spanish speaking vs. Spanish speaking, I went with a score of 2-1 giving the edge to the one that I've heard of the most. For all other games I pickded a score of 1-0, giving the edge to the country, again, that I've heard of the most.

non of this makes sense. how did Bill get some in $ and then all of a sudden go to strictly pounds. I started and finished in pound so they are basically useless to me since using the link is cheaper.
