Hi everyone! I was just emailed about how to get a free Private Sampler dvd with a toll free call. I called it and it seemed like a legitimate deal.
Call 1-888-361-7361. They'll ask for your name, address, and whether you are a consumer or retailer. The guy told me it'd take a week or two to get the freebie. I hope it comes through...
Guys, I gave you the information I was given. I called them and they said they'd send me a copy. They didn't take credit card numbers and I wouldn't have offered one. Sheeeesh! If you get one, great. If you don't, it didn't cost you anything. Relax a bit.
ps: I wouldn't care if it were Rob Black himself sending it.
Faron at PrivateUSA/OGV here. It is a legit offer and the number you are calling is the new Private North America which will be taking over North American distribution of Private in a few weeks. The subject of the new Sampler came up a few months ago and the General Manager of Milcap in Barcelona and I agreed that the sampler should be made available at no charge. Since then, the decision was made to set up a new company here that would handle only Private. So for now, I'm handling the sampler distribution to Distributors and the new Private North America is handling the offer of a free disc to consumers and retailers.
Wow. That's great, Faron. I just have one question. Is everybody who calls going to end up on numerous mailing lists or is it just going to stay with Private?
To be totally honest, I just don't know. The free to consumers giveaway is being handled by Private North America, which I'm not involved with. I can't imagine that they would share the info with anyone else but I don't want to make absolute statements when I don't know for sure.
Everyone: You're welcome but I was only passing on information emailed to me.
Faron: if you really want to promote Private dvd titles, you need to hook up with Steph. She's a master at promotion's. I'll bet she even accepts movies. ;)
I just decided to give 'em a call and try my luck. I'm in Australia and so going in I did expect a polite "sorry we can't ship it overseas" and instead got an "ok that will take about 4-6 weeks".
So, I'm a tad surprised, but also a bit pleased. Now all I have to do is forget about the phone call and with a bit of luck I'll recieve a nice surprise in the mail in a month or two...
Well, "one or two weeks" turned out to be 3 months but it came in-shipped from Canada of all places. It seems pretty cool from my cursory scan of it (it's over 3 hours long).
Does anyone want me to review it?
Now, if Only Private would reduce some of their prices, I might get a few to review...
Hello everyone! I already have the free Private Sampler DVD that Private had offered via their brochure inside bagged copies of the February issue of AVN. It took them awhile to send them because according to the enclosed letter by Richard Arnold (president of Private North America) they had just taken over distribution of all Private Media products in the United States. Unfortunately, while the AVN brochure said that they were offering Private DVD Sampler 2, the DVD that Private sent me was Sampler 1 (with Sophie Evans on the cover). The difference between the two discs is that Sampler 2 had more than 80 trailers (totalling more than 3 hours) while Sampler 1 which they sent me had only 27 trailers (totalling 90 mins). I really don't mind about this because I got the two samplers from previous Private titles as freebies (Sampler 1 from Call Girl and Sampler 2 from Computerized Sex Cravings), but Sampler 2 is a much better disc for anybody whose interested in Private DVDs.
I am glad that you guys have already received the free Sampler 2 disc. I am sure you will enjoy both the 80 trailers and the 3 full hardcore scenes (1 multiangled).
I regret the late shipment of the Samplers, but as you were told by Richard Arnold, the USA distribution has been transferred to Private North America and it has brought some delays in the meanwhile. I hope everything will be faster from now on.
Just to let you know, Sampler 3 (112 trailers and 3 scenes) is about to be finished and will be first seen in the Cannes Film Festival in 10 days. Private is setting a big party on monday 14th in Cannes.
The Sampler 3 will go bundled for free with the "Virtualia 2: The Final Truth" DVD which also features one interactive multiangled scene.
Stay tuned for possible contests to be the first ones to get it.
I got that dvd a month or so ago and I like it very much. I wish the previews were a bit longer or at least focused more on one scene featuring a starlet say Sylvia Saint. The three scenes they included were good Private does indeed put out excellent product and while their prices are a bit high on some sites you are going to get good bang for your buck unlike with some companies.
At the request of a couple of people, I submitted a review of the sampler. I didn't breakdown each trailer but tried to give a good overview instead. If anyone needs any more information, they can email me.
