PDC DVD Materials Arrived

I finally got the DVDs for PDC 2003. It wasn't exactly what I was hoping for, but I'll manage. See, I don't have a DVD-ROM drive in my computer yet. I know, isn't it a shame? Anyways, I was hoping (nievely, maybe) that the DVD would be something that I could stick in my Xbox and watch in the comfort of my living room. Well, you can... if you have a Media Center PC. The videos are WM9 encoded, so you have to run them off of your PC. I guess I have another reason now to pony up and buy one.

  • I was pretty dissapointed with mine as well. I expected the same as you did, and was shocked they got it all one two discs.



    Then to top it off, my disk2 was blank... :(.

  • When did the email say that they were sent, if I may ask?



    I still haven't received mine but they were supposedly sent almost a week ago via 2nd day air. 2 days later an email said that my InfoPath package was mailed and would take up to 10 days. The InfoPath package was here 2 days later and I'm still waiting on the Longhorn package.

  • regarding the DVD drive - get the Sony CRX300 (newegg.com has it for ~$50). It's a DVD reader and CD burner. Works great..

  • My e-mail said it was sent on the 22nd. I have yet to receive the Longhorn stuff.



    Too bad they don't have it so that you can play discs with WM9 files on an Xbox.

  • Just get a DVD burner. They're pretty cheap now-a-days. And then you can make us all copies. :)

  • My email said my Longhorn package was sent on the 22nd as well, I finally got it Friday the 30th. I hope they didn't pay for that 2nd day air the email claimed, it wasn't worth their money.

    For some reason, I got 2 identical packages. Strange.



    I was surprised to see that Longhorn wasn't actually included in the package.
