Thanks for the heads-up. Got in on it. My experience w/DVDSoon is that they honor mis-prices.

DVDsoon blew it big time on two mispriced anime titles recently.
They cancelled them out from underneath people, never sent them any notification at all and most customers did not automatically get credit in their DVDsoon account (much less return the money to their credit card). It turns out all this "we charge you up front to lock in the good price" is just BS.

Here's a thread on the issue: http://forums.animeondvd.com/showflat.php?Number=601290

Beware that if they screw you on this, chances are that you will twice be out the exchange fee your credit card charges to convert money, Once on the USD to looneys and then again on credit back. So, unlike most misprices, getting in on it is not risk free.

Just hope its not a single disc of the Casebook instead of the whole set. MPI sometimes sells the discs separately.

The product code on the shipment confirmation still matches the 3 DVD set... I guess I'll find out sometime next week which one it really is

Got the notification as well. However, as I live in Europe it might take some time before it arrives, though.

When someone receives it let us know what you think of it.

I don't suppose anyone picked up an extra with this bargain price? If so, send me an email and I'll make it worth your while.

thanks
