Subscribed in case the awesome Gary Whitta decides to reopen this offer...or goes crazy...or breaks his hand. Whichever comes first.

Thanks!

He could break his hand from signing too many copies. It would be unfortunate and unlikely, but I did break my ankle roller skating on a date...

This :( :( :(

Wasn't able to tell my brother about it until yesterday and he had to think about it (plus I had to add money to my bank/paypal account). Do let us know if you decide to do just a few more copies :(

PEACE AND LOVE, PEACE AND LOVE!

Is it odd that I read your OP in Ringo's voice?

Didn't make the cut, but wanted to thank you anyway for doing this. That was an amazingly charitable thing to do.

Couldn't you just get copies straight from WB for a better price and just have people paypal you the money..?

Amazon cuts you off after you've ordered three copies of anything so I've had to get creative in my sourcing of these Blu-rays. Never fear, everyone who requested one before the cut-off will get one.

I'm waiting for the first batch to arrive before I start asking people for money so that I can fill the orders as soon as payment is received. The first 25-30 people who ordered will get their copies first, the rest will get theirs very shortly after that. Sorry for the slight delay.

Oh yeah I forgot about that. I actually have some free codes for that month's Qore, need to figure out how best to give them away...

Simple. One of the two:

a). Twitter
b). Contact everyone who has "preordered" Book of Eli from you and ask them if they have a PS3 and would love free code for Qore.

Bought my copy locally last night. Watched most of the special features and thought it was hilarious that Gary gets such little screen time in the segments where they talk about the story/script/themes/influences.

Okay now that OT is back open...

Sorry for the delays, everyone. It's taken a while for me to get enough copies for everyone, I didn't realize I would get so many orders! At the very least the first people to get their orders in will have their Blu-rays sent out this weekend. If you're getting impatient and want to cancel I understand, just PM me and let me know. I am trying to get them all done as quickly as possible.

And just to clarify, you are sending out PMs with Paypal info as you get the order ready? I think I was around the 40th or so person to order but have not yet recieved a PM so I can pay you. I already bought a copy to watch at home and I'll be saving the one you sign to put on display. Can't wait man! Love the film, my Mom even loved it!

Yeah, I never got a PM reply with PayPal info either. Gary, you actually received the entire order already? I want to see what that looks like :lol

Welp, I missed out on this so poop. Nonetheless, thanks for doing this, Gary Whitta. You can't be making anything on the deal and it's really awesome of you to give your time this way.

PayPal info will go out Friday to at least the first 20-25 people for sure, to all 55 if I have all the copies in hand by then.

Did anyone ask him to sign his name four times in a column? If not, I'm pretty disappointed, GAF.
Click to expand...

I didn't think of that!

Gary - if you're listening - I just paid you. Dude. Do it. Let me taste the glory. Four times in a row.

Do it.

Oh, and thanks for all this.

Do it.

Blu-ray comes with a DVD copy so I just ordered the Blu-ray version even though I no longer have a blu-ray player.
