Family Video....99 cent mystery DVD

leahcim · 10-17-08, 01:23 PM

Not sure if it is a deal or what you get but with the free ship code (FAMVID30), you can play the lottery with 5 DVD's for 4.95, not bad.

Can anyone comment on some mystery DVD's they ahve recieved?

Where do you get the # 5 from?

Torchur317 · 10-17-08, 01:35 PM

I own too many DVDs to even try.... lol
I might consider it but I dunno if it's worth it....

leahcim · 10-17-08, 01:36 PM

I bought 5 of them, 1 for each of my kids and one for myself.

Got free shipping so I figured what the heck, better than throwing a few bucks at a can of Copenhagen.

Oh, you made it sound like the mystery DVD could be one of 5 different ones.

pinata242 · 10-17-08, 01:39 PM

Is there any reason to think that you won't get the same dvd 5 times?

Groucho · 10-17-08, 01:42 PM

I'm hoping I get Sleuth or maybe one of the Thin Man movies!

Um, good luck with that. You get one movie out of thousands of possible titles. But hey, I suppose anything could happen. It's worth the buck just for the fun! It's like playing the lottery...

Groucho · 10-17-08, 01:54 PM

The Hound of Baskervilles is another one I don't have yet.

kenbenobi · 10-17-08, 01:56 PM

The coupon is only taking off 99 cents for me if you order only ONE title (shipping is $1.99). This happen to anyone else?

EDIT: I decided to order 5 of the mystery DVD's, so it didn't matter. But apparently you can't get just ONE title with free shipping.

mattysemo247 · 10-17-08, 01:59 PM

It would be nice if one of the mystery DVD's was Journey Blu that the fuckers canceled

ruddiger_718 · 10-17-08, 02:20 PM

I bit, I figured Chrismas is coming up, I need some cheap gifts for friends.

Nice.

Phibes · 10-17-08, 02:58 PM

Erm, the genre of the DVD is a mystery film or is the mystery that you don't know what you're getting?

joltman · 10-17-08, 02:58 PM

Wow, that is really tempting...

chris_sc77 · 10-17-08, 03:15 PM

I ordered 5 for a total of $5.27 shipped. If I dont like them I'll just sell them at my local used DVD store and will probably get at least $10 or $15 in credit of something like that.
Lets get some Criterions!

starman9000 · 10-17-08, 03:28 PM

I ordered one with some used titles.

Wouldn't it be funny if the brand new mystery DVD you get was the same as one of the used titles you ordered?

bang4dabuc · 10-17-08, 04:08 PM

Lol, I ordered 5 with the $5 coupon that I got for the Journey to the Center of the Earth Blu-ray fiasco. Just paid tax and shipping ($2.39).

Thanks OP.

Hopefully it doesn't come up a Yahtzee.

Strange- it says "limit one per household."

leahcim · 10-17-08, 06:33 PM

I guess they let the first few people load up then had to limit it.

It does not matter what I get, they look good in a stocking for 1.00 each

Said the MSRP would range from like 12.99-29.99 so only God knows what I will get, I am getting excited to see though.

Torchur317 · 10-17-08, 06:39 PM

What the hell,I ordered 5 also....

Same here. I'm going to be seriously pissed if I get 5 Wiggles DVDs or something.
