Than means the 3 disc versions costs less than the 2 disc version. That's kinda hard to understand and both say they have the digital copy.

So...in the confusion, DD has priced the 3-discer lower than the 2-discer...

I think I preordered the 3-disc Wall-E from Amazon w/ one of them Bill-Me-Later coupons way back when.

FWIW, I was gonna order Hellboy II from DDD w/ the 25% off as soon as I could since they had the better price compared to DVD Planet (even before the latter hiked it after release). But since Universal announced the soon-upcoming BD-Live event w/ director del Toro, I didn't really wanna wait for them to fill the order. Well, to my pleasant surprise, I was able to score that (plus Kung Fu Panda) today from the local street vendor for $20 sooner than expected -- they don't usually have new BD releases that quickly and tend to run out w/in an hour (or less in some cases).

I thought i read that the 3 disc is the one with the digital copy. The extras are otherwise the same.

FYI - I received an email on Friday that the sale has been extended through Monday 11/24. I just tried to place an order and it's telling me that SUPERSALE and DVDTALK have both expired. I'm guessing they'll probably have it fixed in the morning but this is a bit annoying.

What were you guys seeing? Every time I've looked, DDD has had the 3-disc Wall-e priced 16 cents more than the 2-disc.

When Johnny posted Post #28, the BD versions were priced differently. Now, as you noted, the 2-disc is $27.81 and the 3-disc is $27.97.

Re: Deep Discount DVD Sale is On !!! 25 % Off Whee !! Ends Nov 23

yeah and i ordered the wrong one and there is no way to cancel an order.

i called and was told that i could return the wrong one after i get it and ask for replacement with the right one at that time.

one i ordrered is still backordered so who knows how long it will take, could be a month or more.

It's good to know about the lack of a cancel function. I'll keep that in mind when dealing with them.

As for back ordered items, that's happened a couple of times to me recently. Both times the BO item was shipped within a couple of days. One of them was the Harryhausen set. It just arrived today and sure does look pretty all wrapped tightly and shiny. I almost hate to open it.

The main page of the site says to use the code "DEEP" through Monday. I wanted to get Lacuna Coil's Visual Karma, which just came out today, so it wasn't eligible for the sale until today. The order was processed with 25% off.

I called the 800 number this morning and was told to use the code CUSTSERV. I wasn't able to try it until I got home from work a few hours ago but it worked just fine.

It's right at 2 a.m. Tuesday morning in Indy, and I used "SHARK", and the discount was applied.

This time around, I put my list into a spreadsheet I built. I can enter the prices from DD and DVD Planet, calculate the discount, flag which retailer had the lower price and calculate the price differential.

Sad, really.

Mine started coming in last week. Unfortunately I won't be able to see them until December 27, because my Mother footed the Bill for these as a CHRISTmas Presant! (I'll be in Ohio on December 25), so I'll actually get to celebrate the Big Day TWICE!

I ordered the MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. set from DVD Planet on the first day of the sale, and it arrived today (but it was listed as out of stock when I ordered).

DDD orders placed on 11/11 and 11/15 arrived last Friday and Saturday.

I received my first shipment yesterday (order placed Nov. 21); I also got an email on one title (Valmont) saying it's now OOP and won't be shipping (not a huge surprise on that one). Also got an email yesterday from DVD Planet that another box is on its way from them.

Ordered The Ultimate Matrix BD boxset during the first couple days of the sale -- and like everything else, it was listed as out of stock at the time. They restocked and shipped it out to me roughly a week later, and I just received it yesterday (roughly a week in transit). Seems pretty common (and perfectly acceptable) to me for something reasonably popular where they wouldn't take too long to restock. Normally, if the item is in stock, free shipping takes roughly a week to get to me (give or take a little).

FWIW, I also ordered Casino and Eastern Promises on BD from DVD Planet, and since those were actually in stock when I ordered, they took roughly a week to arrive w/ free shipping.

I shouldn't have been so impatient; mine arrived with today's mail.

Interestingly one shipped on the 13th and the other on the 15th and both arrived today.

Re: Deep Discount DVD Sale is On !!! 25 % Off Whee !! Ends Nov 23

I placed seven seperate orders between the two retailers, starting on the first day of the sale, with a final order last night.Out of 59 seperate titles, so far I've received 53. Obviously I don't expect last nights order for another couple of weeks, so only Wall-E and Come And Get It are going to take a little. I feel like I got a good deal on them, plus I have more than enough to keep me busy, so no hurries here.
Some personal stats from this sale:
Number of titles ordered- 59
Number of titles I'll be returning, unopened because I changed my mind- 8
Number of titles that arrived as 'floaters'- 3 (so far), but only one actually needs to be replaced
Average cost per title this sale- $16.50
Number of titles that were Bd 'upgrades' of something I already owned on dvd-16
Didn't expect to spend this much in the sale this year, but I had a good amount of store credit built up at DVD Planet, and some impulse buys were just priced too good to pass up (The Godfather Bd set was $20 cheaper than if I'd gotten it at Amazon, the Ty Power Matinee Idol set was 60% off msrp, etc). All in all, a pretty satisfying sale for me, tho with the reccession, this may end up being the last hurrah for a while. Next sale, I'm going to try to build up even more credit and spend half as much.

I've already begun planning for their next "Supersale"! I am saving up for a "Splurge Purchase" which will run alongside another Purchase that my Mother will Consficate until August 19 (My B-Day) In the meantime I'm sure there will be other 1/2-Price/BOGO/Clearance Sales, so just keep your eyes peeled!
