Pedro Almodovar Classics Collection $26.97 w/GCO
Hey all,
First time contribution, hope it helps some people out. I did a price search for the set and found it at BestPrices.com for $36.97 shipped. I know that they're not as reliable as Amazon, but it's worth a shot. I believe that they charge your card right away, but the neat thing is that that allows the Google $10 off of $30 to apply.
Good luck, and if this a repeat, feel free to shoot!

I ordered from them a long time ago and don't recall having a problem.
As noted in another thread, Amazon apparently once had this listed for $23.99 prior to bumping to the current $82.99. I've been holding out hoping a similar deal would appear. I'm definitely in at this price.

I order from Best Prices all the time, without issues. (the only bad thing I can say is that they've raised their shipping $$ to ridiculous levels since the Google deal began).
Obviously, this is a mistake. A lot of vendors were confusing the old Pedro box (Talk To Her, All About My Mother, Bad Ed, Flower Of My Secret) with the new Viva Pedro! 9 disc set.
Amazon made this mistake, but has since corrected it. Nothing wrong with taking a shot that they'll honor the pre-order mistake. They're showing the wrong title and description, but it IS the correct UPC code for Viva Pedro!

Bestprices is legit. I've placed a bunch of orders with them during the google checkout sale, and they've been great. They have a bunch of import CD's and SACD's for the best prices (no pun intended) around. Don't know how they'll handle this, but may be worth a shot.

It's hard to tell if it's a price mistake since they list the same List Price as Amazon ($117.95).
Is there a way to check the status of a GCO order on BestPrices website?

I'll admit that I was hit with the impulse to keep this to myself for that very reason, but I've been benefiting (or suffering!) from deals on this site for way too long not to finally give something back.

i used bestprices.com in 2005 for the 3 lord of the rings box sets with the figurines (they were around $25 each). all 3 arrived in great condition! i'm hopping on this one too because i love almodovar!!!! i hope this happens!
btw, dvdempire has the front and back cover of this box set already up for viewing (VIVA PEDRO, same list price of $117.95, same release date in january), and from the back cover this is one wicked box set! law of desire with a very young (before he could speak english) antonio banderas finally on dvd...

Criminy! I gave it a shot as well. Although the Bestprices site description is fairly lacking in detail, not even listing all the films or number of discs, the Part Number there does match the UPC for the set as listed at DVD Empire. There is a 4-film pack that the description matches, but the photo and list price are the 8-film set. I guess we'll see.
I actually already have all of the included films except Matador, but my Law of Desire is Region 2, and I'm hoping there will be remasters of some of the older titles. Plus there's a bonus disc. For $27 it's worth trying!
Update: Got my confirmation email from Bestprices today.

I got an order notification from them:
"Thank you for your order! Your order number is XXXXXX.
You will continue to receive updates as your order is completed
and shipped."
I was actually expecting it to be a cancellation.

From Google, or from BestPrices? I got the former, not the latter.
