Only caveat here is that most of the titles seem to be in the Buy.com "ship for free if over $25". So, if you do just 3 titles, wouldn't you pay shipping?
Plus, some of the titles do not show free shipping available at all...

they don't seem to be charging shipping for the 3 for $20 deal..i put three in my cart..have their instant discount..went to checkout..selected budget ..
Items $20.00
Shipping & Handling $0.00
Tax $0.00
Total $20.00
no argument from me..although their "free shipping" details state it must be $25 or more ..usually (I think?) if it doesn't qualifty, it won't give you the 0.00 ..it'll give you the dollar amount (I think) .. regardless..going to see if they'll let me place a 2nd order..
if you put more than 3 in your cart you won't get a double discount..

you wouldn't .. just came back here to change it .. you'd get like $12.61 back or something
--edit--
pending I can add/subtract this time, purchased 3 in the 3 for 20 ($20), two more at $12.31 each and a preorder at $19.58, total shipped is $66.70, expecting $12.61 back, which would make total spent $54.09 ...same titles at DDD are $61.02 ..
$6.93 savings...they'll prolly ship the 5 in stock ones in a couple ays, and the preorder should ship 9/28 (hopefully)..should be all good..
(they'll charge $1.90 shipping for the preordered item)

I hate to sound like a broken record but if and when DDD has a 20% sale then all these titles would be 6.43 each with no shipping and no tax. Also you would not have to buy in mutiples of 3. This assumes there will be a DDD 20% sale. I am leaning towards getting 3 now with buy.com and picking up on or two w/ DDD 20% sale(fingers crossed). Thanks for the post!

Just a heads up, buy.com shows Any Given Sunday is the Special Edition Directors Cut. Any Given Sunday is 8.04 at DDD, Any Given Sunday Special Edition is 18.73 at DDD. Anybody know which edition is buy.com's Any given Sunday? My guess is that it is not the SE, someone double check please!

Any Given Sunday SE shows $21.12. Buy.com is confusing the two editions, I am thinking about ordering the 3 for 20 deal and making them make it the Special Edition version! On second thought its not worth the trouble or my time.

what's wierd is that some of the titles are "No longer available" in the 3 for $20 deal (e.g. Menace II Society) but if you type it into the search, you can add it to your cart but it's not part of the 3 for $20 deal
