I got the Sony Pitcures Classics 4-Pack and the Wolfgang Peterson Collection. By selling my copy of das Boot, I will have paid for most of the Peterson set.

These are obviously misprices [14.95 MSRP on these sets?]. How is DVDPlanet.com with honoring misprices?

I won't sell my das Boot yet, then.

There must be a price drop on this set because DDD has it for $24.:) Thanks for the prices.

Thanks speedyray, I picked up a couple of the collections. Excellent prices! Too bad the Bad Boys/Blue Streak pack doesn't include Bad Boys 2 instead :(

Seems to be dead or dying - Status for the Petersen collection was "Coming Soon" when I first hit the page and now shows "Discontinued".

They are good about honoring misprices. I hated to post it because it may kill it for all of us, but I also hate to no share with others. This is why we need that premium service that is about to be rolled out by Geoff - That will keep the lurkers from abusing things we post.

I ordered before I posted, and got a confirmation:
* John Carpenter Collection (Starman/ Christine/ Vampires)
* Sony Pictures Classics 10th Anniversary 4-Pack #1
* Wolfgang Petersen Collection 4-Pack

Thought about deleting it now that I am home, but they have a decent inventory system and I see the deal is drying up so I guess there is no real point to delete it.

Can a mod please change the title to reflect the deal is dead

I'm not kidding. I don't want anyone to get a good deal except for me.

Edited to mention that the two boxsets I did order are backordered. Backordered > cancelled.

Thanks, I try. The board has just gotten so big that it is tough posting stuff you know will probably kill a deal. DVD Planet usually honors misprices, I have never had them not honor one. So I took a shot. Maybe we get them maybe we don't - thats the misprice rule and everyone should know it when they place the order. I hate it when people whine about missing a deal or one being cancelled.

Past misprices I remember getting that were posted. Fox Martial Arts Collection ($14.99), Laughing Out Load Box Set ($6.99), Ninja vs. Ninja ($0.00) - Also Beatie Boys CC for 13.49 and Henery V CC 17.98 but I think they were special sales.

The Wolfgang Petersen set is now $38.21, so they obviously realized the mistake. I wouldn't be surprised if some of you get cancellation emails...

I ordered these 3 sets and received an e-mail confirmation that my order was received. Has anyone received their order yet? The 3 boxsets I ordered are still listed as ' Out of Stock' in my order history profile. Is it safe to assume that DVD PLANET will not be honoring these price errors?

Nothing here. Mine say out of stock, but they show as in stock I think on the website. I am just sitting on it. If they come, cool. If not, oh well.

I called and asked them, and they told me that my order would ship out on 1/11/05.

I have officially been charged a total of $26.39 for the following two box sets:

-Sony Pictures Classics 10th Anniversary 4-Pack #1
-Wolfgang Petersen Collection 4-Pack

I then called DVDPlanet to confirm this, and they told me that both of these sets are now in stock, boxed up, getting ready to ship to me.

Thanks a lot OP, especially if I really do get both sets. :D

In The Line Of Fire in this boxset is not the SE. Almost sure of this. At least you get the neat faux signed covers and Perfect Storm in a keepcase.

Apologize if I'm wrong - I know there was a 3 disc boxset at one time that may be the one I'm thinking of.

I called DVDPlanet once again to ask a quick question, and at the end of the call the lady went "...and thanks for calling DeepDiscountDVD...uh oh, nevermind, I gotta keep things straight...I mean thanks for calling DVDPlanet..."

Why exactly would she say that?

SFranke
01-10-05, 02:21 PM
Because DDD and DVDPlanet are owned by the same company, so they probably use the same call center.

Huh, I never noticed that. They used to be Ken Crane's then DVDPlanet - I guess at somepoint they combined forces with DDD much as digitaleyes.net did.

Oh, and 1 of my 3 sets shipped.

I have dups of Air Force One and Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon now but I'll just give those away to my parents or trade them in somewhere.

Well, it's not the SE version. I know some will not be pleased, but I already own the SE, so it's not that big of a deal to me. I just wish that my SE had a cover/spine that would match the others in this set.

I received the Wolfgang Peterson set today, and it looks like it has been tumbling around in the trunk of someone's car for the past few years. But for $11, I won't complain. It's nice to have The Perfect Storm in keepcase.

I got my second set today, Sony Pictures Classics, just as I was promised. Thanks again to the OP for letting me, and the others, in on this deal.

I got eight films, for a total of $26.39, coming out to $3.30 for each DVD. I don't know about everyone else, but that's a great deal in my eyes. ;)

Patman
01-20-05, 07:56 AM
I finally got all 3 of the collections from my original order. The Wolfgang Petersen set was a little beat up, but I was surprised that the artwork on the spines for each of the DVDs in that set was different from the regular DVD editions.

I received the Wolfgang Peterson boxset today but it was pretty beat up and there were a lot of floaters.

I might ship it back and have them ship me another one.
