DeepDiscount 20% off sale Spring 2008 (1 Viewer)

[Cowbell]

I’ll start by saying that I currently do NOT have a DB player. But now that a format has been chosen by the market place. I think it’s time to consider an upgrade.
That being said, I’ll start with purchasing the content, then get a player later this summer. Which of course will drive an upgrade to my projector, but that’s for another thread.
So which BD's really show off the medium?

--or should this be placed somewhere else--

 

[TonyD]

they ship when they have it.
i just finally got my notice for cloverfield shipped.

You should probably search (and/or ask in) the High Def Software section.

There are also a few different review sites you might wish to check, including
High-Def Digest | Blu-ray & HD DVD News and Reviews in High Definition.

In general, I guess you'll get the best quality jump from DVD for films made in the last several years though various older films, including some classics, also receive some significant quality jump. For the most part, your best bet is probably to just look up your favorite films for reviews and see. There's really no hard and fast rule for this. For instance, even a recent film like Assassination of Jesse James doesn't guarantee a big jump in quality while an old classic like Errol Flynn's Robin Hood (only on HD-DVD so far) would.

And then, there is the controversial issue of DNR/EE being applied to varying degrees on certain titles that may sway you one way or another regarding those titles, eg. Patton, Monty Python's Life of Brian.

This is kind of an odd DD Supersale thread. No one seems to be posting their order lists. Here's mine:

Company (Blu-ray) $20.24 > $16.19
The Price is Right $22.14 > $17.71
DVE HD Basics (Blu-ray) $19.88 > $15.84

Total: $62.26 > $49.81

Don't forget to use the HTF's own code: HTF01

And thanks to Gregg Loewen for pointing out the DVE HB Basics disc!

 

[Richard Gallagher]

They have let me use the HTF01 code multiple times.

I just ordered season three of Saturday Night Live, $35.91 with the 20% off.

I ordered Superman Returns (BluRay) because even though I'm sure Singer will eventually deliver the extended version with the Krypton prologue, I am confident -- or at least hopeful -- that the extras will be different (so it is worth owning both versions).

I usually get a lot more, but I've taken to just renting regular DVDs, and there aren't many BDs to choose from yet (and the JR.sale that ended last week took care of most of those I wanted).

$ 21.46

Working up one last order to apply the FBC points I accumulated and some store credit they forgot to apply on the first order.
Also, I was wrong in the last post- the Eric Rohmer set is still backordered and hasn't shipped.

 

[Arnie G]

I ordered Twilight Zone - The Complete Definitive Collection for about $131. that's about $26 per season. great deal

(Hey, that last one is less than the price of a movie ticket, so why not?)

Kind of disappointed that Warner HD DVDs haven't dropped in price like the other studios' have; I was really expecting to be able to get some cheap movies by combining this sale with closeout prices.

 

[TravisR]

I got an e-mail saying that the sale has been extended to June 29.

I'll probably place another order @ DD before the sale ends. I'm thinking about Men in Black Blu-ray, Burn Notice S1 (which would be a blind-buy, but I've heard good things about it) and The Hammer (which is out next week).

 

[Scott_J]

Reminder: the sale ends the 29th (tomorrow). Since that may mean midnight tonight, I recommend getting any last-minute orders in today.

 

[Mike Frezon]

It's about that time for people to start bursting into the thread..complaining about how they got "shut out" of the sale!

 

[TravisR]

Yeah, that's the popular one after the sale. At the beginning of sale, there's "They raise the prices before the sale!" and during and after the sale, there's "The shipping that I paid $0.00 for is too slow!"

 

[Mike Frezon]

Erm...I am wondering where my orders are...

They shipped a looooong time ago!

 

[Arnie G]

Supposedly my order shipped on the 13th & is still not here :frowning:

 

[Robert Crawford]

Today is the 29th.

 

[Malcolm R]

Doesn't every order include an "estimated delivery date"? I wouldn't expect it before that date, regardless of when they say it was shipped.

 

[Mike Frezon]

I don't see one. I just see the dates the two different parts of my order shipped: June 19 & 21.

I'm really not in ANY hurry for them to arrive. I was just kidding earlier. They'll probably get here sometime this week, I figure.

Order was placed on the 17th. I've rarely got any problems with DD. And considering the volume they must do during this sale, that's pretty good.
