Update 8/9/2011:

Hi folks, sad news-this group buy is cancelled. Most group buys work seamlessly, but unfortunately, sometimes things do not work out as planned.

We have just heard that Play had an issue when Coxy tried to update the payment method for the order, as his bank informed him that there was an issue with the chip in his original card. They cancelled his orders, and the stock was re-allocated-the item is now OOS.

As there are quite a few people looking for this item, and release is imminent, we cannot list alternate members to supply you with a copy, as there is no way for us to know who, and what qty is available from each member. We also don't want to obligate other folks to suddenly help, who were not involved in setting up the original group buy, as there is no clear way to determine who has what copies, at this point, and we don't want to mix all of that info into this thread. Please contact a member that has perhaps chimed into this thread, or another UK friend you may have, who may be able to assist you.

A "Source Code" Steelbook locator thread, to allow members to help each other find this before Ebay prices hit, has been posted.

Hello Everybody,

Thought I'd help my international buddies my arranging a GB for the above mentioned title which can be found here:

http://www.play.com/DVD/Blu-ray/4-/18832272/Source-Code-Double-Play/Product.html

Payment will be required 1 week before release date by PPG with buyer to pay any fees.

I will obtain formal shipping prices but from experience this should not exceed more than £6 once you factor in packaging etc. This will be by standard airmail so won't include insurance. However, I can provide insurance at extra cost so please feel free to ask.

Look forward to dealing with you,

Coxy

Hi chipvideo. I'm going to have to limit this to one per person I'm afraid as play.com emailed me this last night:

"Thank you for your recent order.

To avoid any delivery complications we currently limit orders to a maximum
of 5 of the same item per household. Please cancel any additional units.

Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused you
and thank you for your patience and valued custom.

Kind Regards,

Customer Support Team
Play.com"

Have asked my folks to place an order for me and depending on further interest I can ask close friends to order some for me also.

Think this is gonna rush off their shelves quick time!

No problem. Thanks for the group buy!!!
 
Hi, I'm sure Coxy won't mind me mentioning this as I'm helping him here on this GB.

If it doesn't say in you're profile where you live, would you mind editing your post to add just the country, an icon will be sufficient; nothing more at this stage. Pure logistics nothing else.

Cracking idea Dave.

Would it be an idea to ship all of these that reside in the USA to one address in order to cut costs for you guys?

That is a strange email and a strange practice because i ordered 16 "Paul" play.com steelbook and they did not send me any email. Maybe becasuse im out of country???

Take care

Its because it's a play exclusive, i remember them doing the same thing with Predators but that was 10 copys per household, and some people had 5 of them cancelled to in the end ;)
