How many of you bought a ton of stuff from the last sale and still haven't even watched them yet? I still have 5-6 titles from the last sale in November that I haven't watched yet. If I do pick up a few things, I hope to only get things that I will actually watch and not throw in the closet for the next year or two.

Hehe..I am buying blu rays to replace the brand new sds I never watched.

True Blood S1 BD just went from $44.89 to $63.49

GaryO · 07-13-09, 03:10 PM

Shoot. I never complain about the price increases, but just this morning I had placed about a dozen classic Doctor Who dvds in my cart and just about every one of them has been increased by about 25% in the last several hours. Very bummed about that. Guess those are going out of the cart. Oh well. Still got my original items that have maintained their prices.

Holy crap, that's absurd.

John Slider · 07-13-09, 03:25 PM

Band of Brothers Blu Ray just jumped up $30. It is now $80 instead of $50, which really makes the 25% sale even worse than it was yesterday. FUCK!

Rizor · 07-13-09, 03:45 PM

I've been monitoring prices as well and everything I want seems to be okay for now except The Shining, which was $14.xx and shot up to $22.23! Oh well. Amazon still has it for $13.99.

billz · 07-13-09, 03:48 PM

The Saturday Night Live season sets went from $23 to $50.80. I'm not aware of a sale that was running for those, I apologize if I missed it.

Looks like they were price-matching Target.

As long as Battlestar holds....

Increasing prices before the sale is bullshit.

I still laugh when DeepDiscount's reps come here and try to convince us they don't do price increases on purpose. So it's just a bizarre coincidence that occurs every time this sale runs?

Hell, I can go back to the sale of 2007 & still find unopened DVDs I bought during it, in my unwatched piles.

chris_sc77 · 07-13-09, 04:42 PM

LOL. John Adams is now over $51.
but Eastbound and Down (just got this from amazon last night. sorry DD, just a bit too slow decreasing the price.) and 24 season 7 decreased by $3 each. Shield -the final season went down almost $5. Prison break S4 went down $6.50.
If these prices stick i will be very happy. If they raise i will be very upset and possibly not order.

pinata242 · 07-13-09, 04:45 PM

My wishlist of 2 items is holding steady

I have been buying from this sale for the last 3 or so years. Yeah some things do go up in price. Luckily for me only one item of the some $800 worth went up in price. The item that I want that was about $90 is George Carlin's All my stuff. It went up to about $121. Which with the 25% its the same price as before. But I am not upset.

I have many others items that have not been jacked up. I mostly buy horror movies from the 70's and 80's and collect scifi. None of my 30 some dvds I want have been raised lol. I still like DD. Most of their items are cheaper than amazon. On a rare occasion I find something cheaper on amazon. And usually for the stuff I want DD has the best price. Then if you add the 25% it's a good deal for me.

Ditto with Bullitt.

GaryO · 07-13-09, 05:34 PM

I'm quite sure DD has been price-matching with Amazon recently and is raising some of their prices to get ready for the sale. I can't blame them for that. The only bad thing is that some of their prices before the recent raise was far, far better than what a person will be able to get with the 25% off coupon. For instance, they had POPEYE: 1933-1938 on sale for $26.39 up until a day or so ago. Now it's priced at $50.28. Anyone can do the math on that one. So while I don't blame them for the increases, I do think it behooves people to recognize that if they see something with a huge discount they shouldn't assume it's going to stay at that price up through the sale. Some items certainly will stay the same and great bargains will be had. But we can't assume that will hold for everything.

funkymonkeyjavajunky · 07-13-09, 05:34 PM

Pride and Prejudice (blu-ray)...and it's back down to $22.87. Is anyone dizzy yet? But I'll grab it if priced under $20 once the sale starts.

rw2516 · 07-13-09, 05:42 PM

I always add stuff I want to wishlist on release day when it's no longer a pre-order or part of any sale or price match. Pretty much the everday regular price. Have never seen any of the before sale price increases others have seen.

If you're interested, that is still $17.48 shipped from Family Video.

Doctor Gonzo · 07-13-09, 06:30 PM

I've been tracking DD prices on the titles I plan on getting during the sale, and so far, most titles are holding - was wanting John Adams, but as chris sc77 mentioned the price has jumped from $26.89 to over $51!!! Bite it DD - I can wait on that one, perhaps it'll be on sale come black friday?

From the Earth to the Moon has actually dropped from $17.85 to $14.87 and the Films of Budd Boetticher has bounced around from $30.89 to $37.89 to $33.89 and now sits at $32.90 -

Cmon, DD, gimme a good price on John Adams and we'll have a deal...

grither55 · 07-13-09, 07:29 PM

I just noticed George Carlin's all my stuff went down to about $91. It was at $121. But troy (blu ray) went up to about $30 and it was at around $20. It's a good trade off I get more of a discount from they more expensive George Carlin's all my stuff if it stays at the same price. Everything else in my cart is the same price.

I've got 4 or 5, and so far they're holding.
Last night, just for shits & giggles, I tried all the codes I knew of just to see (I'm getting antsy). No dice. Hey - nothing ventured...
I'll just be happy if the prices on my wants hold, but damn - it'd be really nice if they'd include CD's in the sale.
