Columbia House won't let me order "Superman Set" at the sale price. Help!

The deal for me, and most everyone else, is "all dvds on sale, with no other purchase required". If that is so, then why won't CH let me order this set at the sale price of $59.96?

Okay, I have it in my cart, I go to checkout, and I select the sale price and hit "enter checkout". A few seconds later, I see this message in red

"We've modified your order to include the number of regular-priced DVDs needed for this sale. The affected prices are noted in red." And then the price has been changed to the regular price of $79.95?

What's going on?

Even though they say all items on sale, they sometimes have restrictions on box sets and new releases. Not sure if this is the case for this current sale, but you may want to look for the fine print.

Has this been released yet? The website might have a small problem with letting people order stuff that hasn't actually hit the streets yet. Also, shouldn't this be in the main CH thread?
