Glad to know about the DVDPlanet code. One thing is for sure, the Criterion prices at DDD are horrible anymore, though unlike what a lot of people claim, most of their other prices are pretty decent.
No doubt, you have to compare. These titles which I ordered were cheaper with the 20% off at DDD:
COL021104 DVD : THREE STOOGES COLLECTION 1934-1936 $ 15.90 HBD094241 DVD : SOPRANOS-6TH SEASON PART 2, THE $ 43.91 HBD094243 DVD : ENTOURAGE-3RD SEASON V.02 $ 19.90 MCA001094 DVD: ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS-3RD SEAS $ 22.31 PRD034601 DVD : ZODIAC (WS) $ 17.42 TWC080750 DVD : SICKO $ 15.90 WBD012172 DVD : LOONEY TUNES GOLDEN COLLECTION V.5 $ 35.91
But these were cheaper with the 20% off at DVDP:
Title: Crazy Love (2007) Qty: 1 Price: $16.91
Title: 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) HD DVD Qty: 1 Price: $16.76
Title: Days of Heaven (1978) Criterion Collection Qty: 1 Price: $21.56
Title: No End in Sight (2007) Qty: 1 Price: $16.91
Title: Wanted: Dead or Alive - Season 3 Qty: 1 Price: $18.01
Title: Home Run Derby - Volume 1 (1959) Qty: 1 Price: $7.96
Title: Home Run Derby - Volume 2 (1959) Qty: 1 Price: $7.96
Title: Home Run Derby - Volume 3 (1959) Qty: 1 Price: $7.96
Title: Best of the Colbert Report (2007) Qty: 1 Price: $11.42
The difference wasn't always huge, but it was really significant on The Sopranos. The regular price at DVDP is $69.96, but the regular price at DDD is $54.89. I ended up getting it for $43.91 at DDD, $12 less than it would have cost with DVDP's 20% discount.

Letters From Iwo Jima/Flags of Our Fathers 5-disc set for $31.97 (after coupon)
I thought that's OOP, but I saw people at DVDTalk ordering it so I jumped on it. It's now listed as OOS so if it is really OOP, they probably won't get anymore in stock but you may wnat to try ordering it. Worst they can do is cancel it.
Well, I really want to get the George Carlin - "All My Stuff" 14 disc set, but I think I'm gonna hold off til Black Friday and see what goes on. If there's a good deal on HD-DVD players (1080p, not that Walmart shit I heard about last week), I might do that instead. If there were a definite release date for Dirty Harry on HD-DVD I'd be looking for a player for sure. Til then, I'm not sure what else I really want besides Bulletproof and a few other random titles.
Just picked up 5 BD titles & an HD DVD. Only one not in stock was Kingdom of Heaven. I plan to order again once the 11/20 release date gets here. $201 worth of hi-def for $112...because I'm worth it!
Because I snoozed a day late on the DD 20% sale, my HD DVD copy of Planet Earth--what better way to make use of my recently-purchased A2 player--is already on backorder until 11/21 (other folks who jumped the gun on the sale stated that their copies of PE had already shipped)...meaning I won't be able to show it to the extended family for Thanksgiving. :frowning:
Oh well--there's always Christmas...but I digress--I did buy a bunch of other SD DVDs w/ the 20% deal, but 20% off Planet Earth on HD DVD was the crown jewel of my order.
The Ocean's 11/12/13 box set is now available for ordering (out-of-stock, but you *can* place an order) at Deep Discount with one of the 20%-off codes -- $43.96.
They haven't changed Star Trek Season One HD DVD from pre-order status yet....
The orders I placed on Friday - one from DDD and one from DVDPlanet - comparison shopping of several items - have had all in-stock items shipped and will be delivered today. I am willing to pay for the shipping so I can keep track of my orders ever since I had one go to .... I have no clue where....??? DDD order was: $115.98 merchandise Pixar Short Film Collection vol.1 Looney Tunes Golden Collection vol.5 Cricket on the Hearth Creature Comforts America Season 1 The Snake Pit Smallville Season 6 (yea, I'm slightly peeved about the Aquaman DVD in the BestBuy sets but I'd still be out-of-luck since I would normally have bought the set back in September when it was released)
DVDPlanet was: $94.02 merchandise Masada Hawaii 5-O Season 2 Arabian Nights (2000 version) Victor/Victoria SE Cult Camp Classics vol.1 SciFi Thrillers Mrs. Doubtfire SE (Backordered)
I'm thinking there is at least one maybe two more orders from DDD before the end of the sale.
Did anyone get an email yesterday from DDDVD saying they dropped the HD-DVD and Blu-Ray versions of Planet Earth to $46.xx? I inadvertently deleted the email, and the site is showing it at $62.xx.
