DVDPlanet Pre-Order vs. 20% Off Sale

BambooLounge · 09-26-07, 06:43 AM

Just wondering if anyone can tell me what the better strategy is, savings wise. I want to buy the Kubrick HD Titles from DVDPlanet (store credit) and am currently torn between pulling the trigger at the pre-order price of $20.26 per title versus waiting for the November 20% sale. Does anyone know how much or even, if DVDPlanet raises HD titles once they are available? I really want to try and stretch my available credit to get as many wanted HD titles as possible.

I don't think dvdplanet has a november 20% sale.

^ Recently they have run one at the same time as DeepDiscount or at least they did during DD's last 20% sale, so I figured they would be doing it again during DD's november sale.

DVDP's regular HD-DVD prices are $20.96 or $22.49, depending on the title. If the preorder price is $20.26, then the regular price will likely be $22.49, making the 20% off price $18.00. These are just guesses, mind you. I am likely to be completely wrong.

It depends on whether you want to wait, whether you want to bank on DVDP having another 20% off sale, or whether you just want the title now and don't mind giving the retailer a tiny little thank you for keeping their prices competitive. Your call.
