  4. Priyanka

  5. katie

  6. cdawnt

    Server is too busy, ughhh, been waiting all night and now they will all be gone by the time the server comes up. I’m not doing this again!

  7. Kimberly

    Waste of time. Best Buy FAIL

  8. Ashley

    got it- was able to download it through my PS3 again.

    • TG

      me too

  9. viet

    Do you think that once the code has been applied, we can check out at a later time but still get the discount?

    • amy

      I’m wondering the same thing…this is the farthest I’ve gotten so far! Code is applied, but I cannot continue checking out right now…

      • Jeannie

        I’ve got mine in my cart with the code applied but I can’t sign in to CinemaNow…hoping I will still get it.

        • Jeannie

          Finally went thru!

    • viet

      Yep! It went through!

  10. Melanie

    I got the first 2 days just fine…and I have been waiting closely by my computer since 4pm (CST) for it to post….doesn’t look like I’m going to get it to go through tonight, darn it!

  11. Bethany

    Bummer. Server is too busy.

  12. lisa

    Is it a rental?

    • viet

      Nope! You own it as if you went to the local market and purchased it!

  13. Amy

    On each screen, if I refresh about three times it seems to move on to the next page. I hope I am but a click away 🙂 lol

  14. Suzy

    NOT worth the time. Watched the site personally and it was too busy to get in when it went live. 🙁

  15. Danielle

    once you get to the movies list how do you enter the code? I can’t figure it out 🙁 Im dumb, sorry

    • Kathy

      after you chose your movie, a new page appears with a box to supply the code. HTH

    • Jennifer

      Choose the movie then enter the the code from best buy where it says coupon code, good luck checkout out though been trying over a half hour

    • Danielle

      oh, I chose the movie and there was a price… I clicked checkout, or something, lol, and it has been refreshing ever since, haha. guess it didn’t matter 🙂 🙂 thanks for the answers! if I can ever get through again hopefully I can see 🙂 I LOOOOOVE elf!! I was excited to see it offered at a time I was home! but oh well hopefully someone got it 🙂

  16. larissa

    It’s kind of silly to think that on a previously low-traffic website, that at least 10,000 people would simultaneously be able to download a MOVIE. That’s a crazy amount of bandwidth. I mean even coupon sites go down and that’s just clicking a tiny box and filling out a form. It’s silly. It should have been a free unique code generated for the first 10,000 people, and you can redeem w/in 2 weeks or something only for one of thse 8 movies or whatever. It’s fun that it’s a free it just wasn’t thought out!!

  17. lisa

    It says coupon code invalid or already used:(

    • ayesha

      I got the same msg:s

      • ayesha

        oh ,I just checked its already applied , price is 0 …check your’s

      • Danielle

        me too 🙁

    • Jennifer N.

      I had the same thing happen.. certain didn’t use it :/

    • sne3103

      I’m pretty sure that it means that the download limit has been reached..

      • ayesha

        Try back again ..I just got it..

  18. pipsquack444

    Looks like I finally got it! Yes, many “server too busy” screens, but I guess I was more annoyed with losing out on deals to busy servers than I was with the waiting and trying this time. I was determined! lol

  19. Helen

    Expired! That was quick lol! Can this used with an IPad?

  20. Megan

    Wow! I somehow got it. I didn’t think I would have it w/out completly checking out but I think because I had applied the coupon code in time it worked. Nice!

  21. Angie

    Yay, just got mine! Have been wanting to buy A Christmas Story and now I don’t have too! Awesome!

  22. Chelsea

    Got it JUST NOW using Chrome, each page took f-o-r-e-v-e-r to load but it worked for me 🙂

  23. Kara

    Got mine! Forgot the first two nights, finally got it 🙂 Got many a server busy screens but it did eventually go through. Got “300”, I put it back at Walmart’s 1.96 giveaway and have been yelled at by DH ever since :). Hoping tomorrow I can get one I actually want!

    • Nicole

      Walmart still has movies for $1.96 online with free site to store shipping… not too sure how long it will last, but this whole week if an item is showing up as out of stock one day, it’s usually available again within 24-36 hrs 🙂

  24. Sara

    it is now telling me in order to download my movie i need a ROXIO player, downloaded to my computer? Does anyone know anything about this?

  25. kim

    EXPIRED

  26. Lindz

    Does anyone know if you download this on iPads?

    • Jill

      I got one the first day using my Mac but it won’t play on either the Mac or the iPad. Hoping it will work on the PC but haven’t tried yet. Very disappointed that it doesn’t seem to work on Macs.

  27. ASL

    Can someone put the code i currently cant log on to facebook right now 🙁

  28. Ashley Hamilton

    had to wait 35 mins., but i finally got the grinch!

  29. viet

    I GOT IT!!! As long as you’re able to apply the code, Just wait until the servers are no longer busy then check out

  30. Karin

    I got the code applied, but couldn’t go through all the way to check out. Then offer was expired, so I thought I couldn’t get it. But checked ‘My Library’, and saw there’s Sherlock Holmes movie in it!!! 🙂

    • Chelsea

      Yay! I love that movie 🙂

      • Karin

        Thanks! I got it for my hubby. It looks still their server is busy, so I’ll try downloading it tomorrow.

  31. Allison

    Did anyone else have a problem with having a ton of movies in your cart? I kept removing them but then 5 more would jump in my cart?

    • Chelsea

      nope, that’s wild!

      • Chelsea

        Get outta my cart you crazy movies, I am not going to buy you!

        • Kelly T

          This made me laugh!

  32. Txmomx3

    Yay I got it last night and tonight!

  33. Elizabeth M.

    I finally got it, but am having trouble downloading. Server issues.

  34. livelaughandlovetosaveDanielle

  36. rocio

  37. Alisha

    The code is still working this morning!! CR3HE

    • Amanda

      This works! I just tried it and it went through for the Blind Side. Just go to cinemanow.com and check out with one of the movies that was on the freebie list. Use the code and it should work!

    • viet

      The coupon you entered has exceeded its usage limit.

  38. Rachel

    Does anyone know if you can download these movies on iPad??!!

    • Michelle W

      Not to an iPad. But if you download to your computer I’ve been told if you change the file to a Wav4 or whatever iPads use, it will work. My brother is going to do it for me.

  39. Amanda

    Thanks Alisha!!! I just used the code and it worked!!! I know have a movie from each day, I was so bummed when I thought it had expired.

  40. Amanda

    *now, not know…haha

  41. Chelsea

    The code just worked for me at 2:45pm!!! Thank you for posting it. It seems that they are telling everyone the code is expired but it isn’t. Yippeee.

  42. Mel

    Worked for me too!!!
