Indiana Jones has missed its street date for me; I did the chat with them and they said they expected it to ship next week. I don’t begrudge the CSRs for something out of their control but it’s not an ideal circumstance to deliver long-made-in-advance preorders weeks late.

Hopefully my Indiana Jones will arrive on or near street date.

My guess would be the full frame HD transfer was created to serve as the source of the earlier DVD, and was then submitted to digital services when that all began. At some point since then, they created a new widescreen master but it hasn’t been fully distributed to all of the various retailers...

That’s a title that’s a perfect example of why Movies Anywhere account linking is useful. Some streaming services have it in HD 1.33:1, and some of those have the less accent-y dub. The Movies Anywhere service has an HD 1.66:1 copy with the original audio. As long as your accounts are linked...

The live action segments between each musical segment where Deems Taylor talks about the composers, orchestra and animators. It had been shortened throughout the years in subsequent theatrical reissues, and the VHS/LD brought most of it back, and the DVD/BD finally had all of it. The length of...

At the risk of being that guy, that is not correct. The VHS/LD version of Fantasia ran approximately 120 minutes and was missing a portion of Deems Taylor’s interstitial announcements. The DVD and BD version of Fantasia is approximately 125 minutes and includes the entirety of Taylor’s...

Get this one. It includes the full length feature The Reluctant Dragon in HD which is worth the price of admission alone.

My offer still shows as 50% off only and not 60%, but I’ll have a good sized order ready for the next time they give me a 60% off deal.

Isn’t VIP status merely a function of having purchased all of your commitment required titles? If you’ve already done that, I don’t see how adding free shipping would change that.

I tried the chat because why not, and they gave it to me, so yay! Thanks for the heads up, David!

Has there been any word on people getting free shipping added to the account via the online chat, or do I have to do it by a phone call?

I wonder what resolution the original Toy Story was actually created at.

I wonder if they're thinking about getting into the subscription mystery box business. I'm not a fan, but I have a number of friends who are happy to pay $20 a month to get a mystery box filled with things like you described.

I think I probably need a book or DVD with that title: "What Do You Do With The Mad That You Feel?"

My experience with DMC is that everything always shows up, but that they're not "speedy".

I agree. If they'd let me run home video until the business died out, I'd have a lot of fun and so would everyone here. Hey, I worked for PBS Home Video once so that means I'm qualified to run Buena Vista, right? :D

I don't think they want to do small things. Look at how they now make exclusively tentpoles. My childhood is filled with memories of mid-budget fare like Honey I Shrunk The Kids, The Mighty Ducks, Cool Runnings and more. They don't make movies like that anymore. They're probably leaving money on...

I hate having to do that - it's obnoxious to have to remember when you have real life going on around you, but I've managed to check the box in time every month that I've been a member so far. I remember back in the day that Columbia House used to have a policy where if you completed your...

I'm going to keep mine active for the foreseeable future, but I'm not ordering things just for the sake of ordering. I'm never impressed by their sales, and with their slow shipping, it's the last place I'd want to go for any pre-order or new release. I guess I just want to be sure that...

I hope I get an email like that!!

I don't preorder from DMC - the lack of release date delivery, along with what amounts to be double the average retail cost for new releases, do not make it a desirable proposition for me.

I'd wait for a 60% off with free shipping offer (which I thought I used last year, but memory is a fickle thing), but if the typical offer is 50% plus free shipping, or 60% without shipping, I might as well just pull the trigger now. Doesn't seem worth the wait for an offer that may not be...

I've noticed that the current member offer is 50% plus free shipping - that's as good as it gets, right? Or do they still do 60% off with free shipping occasionally?

Disappointed that Moana is still not eligible for a discount - I wouldn't care specifically about that one, but the other items in my cart are a buck more so it throws off the whole thing if Moana can't be a discount selection and is the lowest price item there. By the time it's discounted...

That's true but this month neither of the VIP member offers have free shipping. I actually laughed because this month, they're basically both the same offer, just worded slightly differently. The default is Buy 1 at Regular Price, get 60% off additional titles. Separately on the page, it...

Does anyone know how long the "no additional discounts" thing usually applies to new releases? I want to put together an order with Moana 3D and Doctor Strange 3D, but right now, I'd have to pay full price for both because Moana isn't eligible for discounts, and is less expensive than Doctor...

I'm actually mildly tempted for that one - childhood nostalgia.

So much for the "signature collection" being only movies Walt himself had a hand in - wasn't that in the original announcement for this line?

I thought about getting Star Wars from them, but ultimately decided to stick with Amazon. From Amazon, I can get it for $20 or less, and it'll be delivered on release date. From DMC, it's $25 plus shipping, so $30, and won't arrive by street date. $10 more to have it late? I'll pass. If...

Cool - do they let you use the special membership codes when you call and ask? I'm content to wait though - I'm behind on my movie watching pile, so as long as these aren't in danger of going out of print between now and 90 days from now, it's fine by me.
