Speaking of preorders whichwon't be preorders come Tuesday - does anyone know how this will work in terms of when the discount will be applicable? i.e. if I order early Tuesday Morning at 12:01 am, will I be eligible for the dicount, even if it doesn't go through when I put in my order (i.e. can I order it and then email them and say that as of 12:01am it wasn't a preorder so give me the 20%)? Or do I have to wait until the site actually gives me the discount in order to get it?
And, generally, when DO the discounts start applying for preorders that become nonpreorders in the middle of the sale?
Also, if you buy something early in the sale and then DDD lowers the price in the middle of the sale (does this happen?) can you email them and ask that they give you the lower price?
Similarly, does DDD ever RAISE prices in the middle of the sale? I assume if they do and you bought it before the price raise, then you get the benefit of the lower price that was in effect when you placed the order- right? But if you wait, and then the price rises, can you get the earlier lower price (which is basically what I asked above).

Has anyone been able to find the Live by Request Santana dvd that comes out Tues? Its 9.99 at CC Tues.
Also, the U2 Vertigo dvd....is it worth the extra 10 bucks for the 2 disc set?

edit: Unless it's still in pre-order or backorder status. Then they make you cancel and reorder at the new price.

No. They are very strict about the price you agree to pay at the moment you buy something there.

Yeah they can raise prices during the sale, but DDD raising prices is very uncommon and even less common during a sale. Or they can just plain remove items completely, all of a sudden, making you wish you could even get it at DDD's normal price, let alone 20% off.

And going OOP this coming January are 28 Days Later, The Beach, Carousel, The King and I, South Pacific and Miracle on 34th St. (1947).
I'm sure the musicals will be reissued since they did that with State Fair, Oklahoma, and Sound of Music. So I'd avoid any older titles if they have minimal features.
Havent planned my 2nd order yet, was going to pick up the Eddie Guerrero dvds some other time, but I just found out he passed away so I have to snatch that up next.

Appreciate everyone posting their finds, has definitely helped me assemble a shopping list.
Do any of you anime fans have any comments on the Ping Pong Club disks? Looks like you can pick up the whole collection (5 separate disks, unfortunately no box set listed at DDD right now) for about $24. Sounds like Japan's anwer to South Park, but I can't find any decent reviews anywhere.
Surprised how many people are buying Office Space here for $11+ when you can get it for $8.99 (or less with 10% off/free shipping coupon) at Coconuts.com right now. It does involve a $5 rebate, however. Plus, Quiznos is apparently offering a separate $3 MIR as well. Not sure if the rebates can be stacked, but if so, would be $5.99 AR.
