It usually takes about a week to get stuff from them, though my Ninja Turtles season one took 2.5 weeks after they had delayed several times by cancelling my order twice.

Okay, my list!

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Seasons 1-6 (Oh yeah. I bit the bullet on the Buffy boxset bargain baby!)
Reno 911: The Complete 1st Season (1st was hilarious, 2nd has been lacking)
The American President (The picture quality is wretched but even a horrible transfer will not dim the brilliance of the words of Aaron Sorkin)
Best in Show (Christopher Guest's best mockumentary in my opinion)

All for under $250 [ConeZone mode] MY BABYS! [/ConeZone Mode]

I didn't order all that much (just ~$130) I placed the order on Saturday and it arrived today (the following Saturday).

Vicar of Dibley - Divine Collection
To the Manor Born - Complete Series
Jonny Quest - 1st Complete Season
Star Trek 5 - Final Frontier

I decided that with the sale, STV was finally inexpensive enough to buy. I haven't seen it since possibly opening day. That item actually is back ordered and won't arrive for a week.

I had also ordered The Moody Blues - The Lost Performance Live in paris '70 which was a preorder not supposed to be available until next week. So, I had put that in a separate order, but they apparently had it in stock and included it with the items from the sale. It was only $8 anyway.

well last weekend when I first heard about it, I made an order that I received on thrusday for about $75:

Charade (Criterion)
Third Man (Criterion)
Planet of the Apes (Complete TV Series)

Then I realized I should take more advantage of the sale and ordered Buffy Season 6 for my girlfriend plus

Planet of the Apes movie box set

2 History Channel documentaries that are excellent:

JFK: A Presidency Revealed - it chronicles everything that happened during his term, not just his death or any one subject


The Last Days of WW2

Both of these cost at least $23-24 at Best Buy and with the sale I paid I think less than $13...

and I ordered a doc. that I haven't seen been some good stuff, called "easy riders, Raging Bulls" about some great films/directors during the 70s....

Overall, I ended up spending around $200


By the way from the day that I receive the "shipped" e-mail, it was the 4th day that I received my first order...

I certainly can't complain about that!

...I remember when reel.com had a thing called "Bottle Rocket" were if you answered enough triva, one question for a day, for about a month, you would get a $10 credit to their site. I set up literally 20+ accounts, and would get a few DVDs a week, all brand new, for around $7 including shipping. Duece Bigalow, Next Friday, just to name a few. I think people like me made them stop having that sale, :)

I hear it's pretty good!
On a tangent, where were you all when I needed inspiration!! I never thought about The Tick, Dilbert, or a host of other programs I'd been putting off because the prices were outrageous. I'm very dissapointed in all of you for not making me spend more. ;)

Thank God for this sale! I almost blew a $50 Barnes & Noble gift card to get the CC edition of THE LEOPARD. DDD's price w/20% was $28.50 & arrived in 5 days at the free shipping option.

This was the first DDD 20% sale I've ordered on, it sure makes a "on the fence due to price" purchase very easy to fall on the 'buy it" side :D Only becuae of this great sale I ordered all volumes of the Sherlock Holmes UCLA restored DVD's, including the Hound's and Adventure, and Frasier season 3 for kicks :)

Now to fight the urge to buy now and just save up for the next one :)

$1 each for each troma disc... you got ripped off! Didn't you get in on the $0.25 each disc sale? I did, and I'm still not sure if I got ripped off. =)

Here's to DDD bringin' back the thrill of the old glory days!

I'm still cursing DDD, and thanking the gods that the sale is over. I only got 2 orders in and one was to beat out items I had bought in the previous month. The second order... well, there's $125 that I didn't want to spend. =(

Thanks DDD for making DVD purchases a thrill again.
