The only thing I dont like about Amazon is they never give you a break on shipping with coupons or specials, like most other sites.

Regarding the strange pricing at Amazon, it appears that it's on MGM titles(Showgirls, Rocky, Dead Like Me). I think that I'll do an MGM search at Amazon and see if there are any other good deals to be had. Thanks OP for the heads up.

Very strange. I ordered one just in case they actually ship it (though I doubt it). Thanks once again x

One thing though, like the Rocky one, when I got to the page, at the top it said ships in 6 to 12 days... Is this because so many have ordered it and now it's sort of backordered or something?

Shipping estimate for these items: April 17, 2006 - April 24, 2006
Delivery estimate: April 19, 2006 - April 26, 2006
1 "Showgirls (VIP Limited Edition)" Elizabeth Berkley; DVD; $8.97

The BB sale last year was a mistake that they honored. The barebones edition was on sale for $7.50, but BB had a glitch and the VIP edition also came up at $7.50.

Looks like I got in on this too late. Amazon removed Showgirls from my order, and then tried to stick me for shipping on the other two DVDs that I purchased to get the free shipping. Nice try, Amazon.

That sucks. I mean, that is fine if they cancel something, but to change an order and then raise the price of shipping, that isn't right.

Add me to the list of people that got a shipping notice. I figured this one would get cancelled for sure.
