So, I guess you guys haven't seen this:

Nov. 3, 2008— Infinity Resources, Inc., parent company of Critics´ Choice Video, DeepDiscount.com, DVDPlanet and Video Collection, today announced a pre-Thanksgiving holiday DVD & Blu-Ray disc sales promotion, Nov. 7-23.

Wow. 25% off this time around. I'm sure I'll buy a bunch of stuff I never thought I would buy.

punit · 11-03-08, 11:04 PM

25% is the way to go but not as far as int'l shipping charges are concerned.

bmoore · 11-03-08, 11:04 PM

whoo. i'm ready then. Time to buy like crazy

Moopher · 11-03-08, 11:08 PM

I've never tried this... Suppose it's time?

beebs · 11-03-08, 11:56 PM

25% + 4% Live.com cash back -- wow. The 4% will likely be based on pre-promo discount pricing based on previous experiences. We'll see if that sticks around for the sale. The Live.com has been as high as 10% in the past. 25+10% off! One can dream... can't they?

I wouldn't be surprised if there will be no Live Cashback during the 25% off sale (or if it was like 1%). Cashback tends to go back and forth during retailer's sales.

It worked over the summer.

ENDContra · 11-04-08, 12:49 AM

^^I think its usually based on how much you actually pay...hence it would be 4% off the discounted price. Im guessing it might not work either, but probably wouldnt hurt to order everything with cashback active and see if it goes through in 60 days....worst case you just get the 25% off.

funkymonkeyjavajunky · 11-04-08, 01:10 AM

25% off!

ParadiseVendors · 11-04-08, 03:01 AM

Can anyone explain the live.com thing. Do I have to add items from live.com, or just use their link to DD before buying stuff? I could have saved 100s of dollars this way over the years if I had known about it.

Raye · 11-04-08, 03:04 AM

Great news! Can't wait for this Friday. With the additional 5% off, I think I can buy one more DVD than I had planned.

Proglodite · 11-04-08, 03:11 AM

I placed several orders through the Live Cashback links in August/September, including the B1G1 on the Twilight Zone Complete set. I haven't gotten any cashback yet. I did send an e-mail to customer service and they are investigating. I'm not saying don't sign up and use their links...just be aware it might not be a slam-dunk for collecting. --Peter

Under the store listing at live.com, click the "go to store" button for Deep Discount. You'll get taken to a page where you sign into your live.com account before it directs you to Deep Discount, and shop as usual.

rmick · 11-04-08, 07:29 AM

So DVDPlanet is going to be running the discount on the same dates?

Any chance this will be extended like most years although the range of dates is already longer?

Quake1028 · 11-04-08, 08:52 AM

No one knows the answer to either of those two questions. Please read the first post.

docdoowop · 11-04-08, 09:12 AM

Don't forget, DVD Planet is a Cashbaq participant. Currently paying 4%.

Viper187 · 11-04-08, 09:18 AM

25%...This is gonna be a more expensive month than I thought. lol

Can we expect the sale to go live at 12am on the 7th? I'm wondering if I should stay up late. heheh

Marvin Dorfler · 11-04-08, 09:20 AM

I cannot get any of the codes to work on DEEP DISCOUNT--anyone else having the same problem?

-Dorfler

Cheato · 11-04-08, 09:23 AM

^ Yes. All of us who are reading this before 11/7, that is.

I truly will never understand the need for sarcasm and smart ass remarks on the boards. Some people don't have time to read every single post before replying.

If people would read the first post advertising the sale, there would be significantly fewer posts to read in the first place. Experiencing a problem with a code seems like a pretty good time to review the sale terms.

MovieExchange · 11-04-08, 09:47 AM

I've updated the FAQ to reflect the new 25% off information and the corresponding sale amongst the other sites.

Once again I'd like to remind people that this thread is not for people wanting to talk about things like "I wonder if they'll raise their prices before the sale." This is supposed to be an informational thread, not a conspiracy-theory bitch-fest.
