    I agree, very very disappointing. :( I'm definitely going to complain.

    There is only 1 CD left on there. Has anyone gone on there with there being more than 3 titles?

  • When the e-mails were issued this afternoon all the titles were there. Unfortunately by the time they managed to issue e-mails which had a code in them Fitzcarraldo and Crouch End Tiger Hendon Dragon were out of stock. Happily 'Jean De Florette' was still in stock so I got that.
  • something's not right here the voucher was ment to be one of the top ten world cinema dvd's, not from a selection? maybe i got it wrong however when i did a search for the long engagement on play early i found the one disc in stock but not the two disc. and all of the top ten were showing as being in stock.

    why have a promotion if they don't want to give away anything.

    I got my voucher code just before 2pm and all 10 were in stock then (I chose Hotel Rwanda) - like someone else has said though, they have known for a while how many vouchers they were giving away - ample time to ensure stock levels.

    Hopefully they will get more in stock for those that weren't so lucky.

    i just went to the page and all that was there was 'a very long engagement' so i ordered it even though when confirming it said 'out of stock' so who knows if it'll ever arrive!

    im not that bothered about this movie.. what were the 10 options anyway?

    Likewise..at the end of the day, it's a freebie, but it does leave a sour taste in the mouth if they make out that things are on offer, but really they aren't as the amounts are inadequate..

    Maybe this debacle will make Play fall from grace like CD-WOW did a while back..Roll on the next taker of the CD/DVD/Game throne...The Hut maybe? or HMV? any bets?

    Hotel Rwanda
    Amelie
    A Long Engagement
    Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
    Fitzcarraldo

    Can't remember any of the others.

    Just looked in my history and I have the pages for Amelie and Hotel Rwanda there and they say "temporarily out of stock - item will be dispatched as soon as it arrives" but neither are showing on the link in the emails :(
