You're correct. I forgot that the discount is not site wide like the good ole days.

jdpatri

Although the site is down right at the coupon launch, so some things do remain the same.

obscurelabel

Has anyone found if Olive titles are eligible? I've tried the code on them and it doesn't seem to work, but DD's site is so wonky that I want someone else to confirm if possible before I give up. If Olive titles are eligible, any that are priced $19.30 and below are a slightly better deal than ImportCDs' 14.43 - 10% + 1.49 shipping = 14.48.

Just checked. I had about 50 "maybe for the right price" items in my cart. I applied the coupon and it discounted about 4 of them, taking the total of my cart from about $850 to about $830. So apparently it is a 2.5% sale, not 25%

Oh, and $8 of the total $20 discounted was for a single item, Simpsons season 15. The other 49 items received a total of $12 in discounts when the coupon is applied. And these are not all new releases, in fact most are not.

joe_b

Yup, no Olive titles in the sale (just as I predicted). The item needs to show a "25% OFF" icon when you search for it.

jdpatri

Nope. No Olive. No Shout/Scream Factory. Welp, there goes my sale. Now to see if importcds has that 10% coupon.

sleepyhead55

They did have some Shout Factory titles on sale but at the 40% off price point you'd be better off waiting for the importcds sale or bn 40% sale + whatever coupon bn allows you to stack.

jdpatri

Oh yes. It appears that the Shout Factory BD's in my card did receive the discount. But only Rolling Thunder is worth picking up, even with the sale.

ProfessorEcho

Any good KINO deals or are those also missing in action?

SethDLH

Wasn't the free shipping threshold $15 not long ago? It is up to $25 now.

ProfessorEcho

And don't forget, no free shipping at all on box sets or bigger items.

They just keep shooting themselves in the foot.

SethDLH

Gah. I want a 3 disc boxset. It's from Severin so maybe I'll just see how much they discount it during their sale tomorrow.

Torchur317

So it already takes off the discounts & you can't use the codes now? 25more or SUMMER13 isn't working for me at all....

mike7162

The announcement of these sales used to give me a rager - now they dont even give me a semi.

Sondheim

I might pick up the BD of Keaton's College for $17 if I can find something to pair it with. Otherwise it looks like I'll be sitting this sale out.

Pizza

Just ordered 9 Rifftraxs, Dressed to Kill blu, Where the Boys Are blu. Ordered more than I thought I would.

Bill Needle

I ordered a couple of items that I saved a few dollars on. If this worked like past sales/pricing it could have easily been a 30 title/$hundreds order.

Paul_SD

Took a look. There wasn't one thing that wasn't cheaper at either B&N right now or at ImportCDs (even with the extra $1.50 ship per title).

Even the upcoming BD of Dirty Mary.../Race With The Devil was several bucks cheaper a month ago for that one day sale.

ProfessorEcho

I can't get any deals going. In comparing the single Blu title of the Lon Chaney silent film THE PENALTY on Blu from KINO I'm coming up with pretty much the same price across the spectrum: Amazon, DeepDiscount, Half, Ebay, B&N, ImportCDs. The trouble is that once you figure in all the variables, which for me include that m.f. tax for each one of those places except Half and Ebay, it all starts to approach $20 and I'm not paying that much for that title.

In other words, my dog shits out better sales than this one. And I don't even have a dog.

jdpatri

There are still some deals to be had on Warner Archive and other BOD titles.

Osiris3657

Count me among those who got really excited about the bi annual DD sales and would spend or $100 or so each time. It's been a few years since I've ordered from them because their prices suck now. Hell I'm surprised they've managed to stay afloat.

Alan Smithee

Waiting for someone to sue them for false advertising, given their name is "Deep Discount". They should change their name if they can't live up to it anymore.

That'sAllFolks

Like any online retailer, they sometimes have good deals and sometimes don't. I've gotten some pretty killer deals there even in the last year (the Star Trek TOS series for one, others that were even better ). These sales have never been that great for me, but I agree that they are almost worthless now. Limiting which titles can be discounted, raising prices -- I don't see them being around too much longer. That little PH surcharge for sets is ridiculous and makes me madder than about anything else they've done lately. I would regret them going under though. Except for Amazon, there is really no other exclusively online retailer I buy from on even a semi-regular basis. BBY gets most of my money these days. At one time it was Deep Discount and later Big Lots. Oh well, c'est la vie.

The main thing that's changed between the time when DD had great sales and now is a precipitous decline in consumption of physical media. It just doesn't make sense anymore to run a company whose primary goods are CDs, DVDs, and blu-rays. It's really not DD's fault except to the extent that they did not diversify their offerings and dove head-first into physical media.

PhantomStranger

There are some very good deals on anime Blu-rays, such as Ninja Scroll and some of the Sentai releases.
