Yes, (in my NON pre-order) I ordered LowMax & CoreMax on 2/21, they shipped on 2/22, and I had them today 2/28! That was with the basic shipping - What great service!
I don't seem to have any sound problems on my DVDs (2 out of 4 viewed) and they were all firmly stuck on the center spindle of the case.
Good luck and have fun!
