Re: 2 for $10 on select DVDs at Amazon.com
Thanks for the link but Amazon kind of shoots themselves in the foot with a deal like this. Pretty much every movie they're offering for $5(when you buy 2) is for sale on their own site for $1-$3. Doesn't seem like much of a deal.

It does when you factor in that those $1-$3 prices are from Amazon Marketplace sellers, and you have to pay an additional $3 per DVD for shipping. And even if you're not saving that much, at least you're getting new vs. (usually) used.

Most of these titles don't go on sale in that range very often, and during DD and similar sales you'll usually pay about $7 apiece for them. If you're looking for any of these titles, and you buy enough stuff to get free shipping it's a good deal.
As for Marketplace sellers, for virtually every title that's been out there long enough, you can always find them for sale cheaper than for a new title. However, as the saying goes, you pays your money, you takes your chances.

From my previous experience, it is enough if the pre-sale price of the two DVDs to be at or above $25 in order to get the free shipping.

Unfortunately everything I want doesn't fit that price range....
I'm almost tempted to get something I'm somewhat interested in just to get Blood & Wine.

Just saw this post and went back and checked prices. It looks like they lowered the price on basically everything just low enough so you're still paying a decent amount but you can't take advantage of the shipping glitch either.

I ordered "Melinda and Melinda" and "Millions." Worked out great as I got two flicks I wanted and free shipping. Thanks OP.
Update: Okay, I spoke too soon. I get my email confirmation and "Millions" is in FULLSCREEN. I go to cancel my order that's only a few hours old and, of course, my order already cannot be canceled. The punchline is the shipping estimate is March 2, a week away. I can understand if it was shipping tomorrow, but there's no reason why I shouldn't be able to cancel an order that's shipping next week.
Lesson learned, always double check to see if a sale title is widescreen.

Finally, I can complete my Killer Tomatoes collection. 
Oh wait, I don't have a Killer Tomatoes collection.
