Actually. any title counts towards commitment including the $5.95 titles. Cheapest option would be ~$16 for 2 dvds.

Yes, you can do preorders.

Smallville S3 - $35.99

Seinfeld, Simpsons S5, and Invader Zim currently are not available yet for preorder.

I thought that was the case. As long as 1 DVD was purchased during the year, regardless of cost, then you met your obligation.

Schindler's List Widescreen: $8.95 (Gift Set $20.99)

Iron Giant Spec. Edition: $11.99

Ultimate Matrix Collection: $47.95

Ultimate Matrix Collection Ltd Edition Set: $77.95

Does anyone know if one can open a DV2 account if they already have two CH accounts open???

I believe you can.

I believe the limit is "2 per type of CH Club" - DVD, DVD TV Edition (old), DVD TV Club (series), Video, CD, DV2, etc.

Thanks guys...

Just an FYI.

Most of these titles are a part of the 3 for 25 deal too. What I had to do was purchase 2 at a time. I placed three orders with 2 DVDs each. Shipping is free, so it doesn't cost you extra to do this.

In case anybody wants to know, I purchased

Jimmy Neutron (gift)
Dave (gift)
Boondock Saints
Private Life of Sherlock Holmes
Galaxy Quest
The Last Emperor

Since it's a $9.95 annual fee and you obviously don't get a free DVD during each subsequent year, can you cancel your membership after 11 months and sign up again to get the free DVD with your yearly fee? Is there a limit on how many current or former accounts you can have at an address?

I would believe that there is no limit as to the # of former/closed accounts. There isn't for any of CHs' other clubs. Just only 2 active ones at a time.

Don't forget: you can sign up for the DV2 club with the "HDX" code and get 2 DVDs for your 9.95 membership fee instead of just 1. Fulfill with one cheap disc (say, at 5.95), and you've got 3 for $16, a much sweeter deal.

(You have to go through the "go.columbiahouse.com" page to sign up with the HDX code.)

That all assumes there are two that you want from the initial signup offer. I guess it'd be helpful to have a full list of those titles.

The "HDX" code worked for a while when DV2 first started, but I believe it is a dead code now. I would love to be proved wrong, then I could test quiting the DV2 club and then see if they let me rejoin with the "HDX" code. I do know that I will quit the club before I have to pay the $9.95 annual access fee again just to stay a member of the club.

anyone ever email them for help? .. I stupidly picked a dvd I already own as one for my introductory title ..and now I want to get it changed before they ship it out..

The last DV2 signup I did was in July, and it was with the HDX code. Haven't tried again since. The one code I know they pulled was HEA, which gave 1 DVD with a 30-day free trial (after which they'd charge the 9.95 annual fee). It was too easy to get Citizen Kane and The Hobbit for about $8 and cancel before the 30 days was up. I guess that's why they pulled the code.

And yes, you can cancel as soon as you've made your obligatory 1-disc purchase.

Where on the website do you enter the code?

Well I certainly don't mind paying $9.95 per year. I end up saving far more than that and it is no different than paying to be a member of Costco or Sam's Club.

Why is it that I am being charged shipping on my order? I thought that there was free shipping on every order ... or so their website said when I was signing up. Do they only charge shipping if it is your first order?

They haven't worked all the kinks out of their system yet. Call them or send them an email to get reimbursed.

It takes a while for them to get to their emails, so I'd recommend calling them ASAP.

I had this problem on my first order too. I just called and they corrected it. Since then, I've ordered about 15 times with no problems what so ever.

too late..waited too long and now I'm approved..I guess I could always send it back.

don't see why this isn't applicable..having too many dvds and not knowing what the fuck I own is a good excuse as any!

Yes, strange things happen on the CH web site. While I haven't experienced your problem - YET - I have seen others. Most recently my inability to sign-up via the web for a brand new account when I had the DVDs in my hand & they had been shipped at least 7 days prior (to me trying to sign-up).

And the deal with these $5.95 titles - has anyone else noticed(didn't scan thread) that they show up as regular/ normal sale prices until you actually go checkout? It even matters in which order you put the titles (bottom/first to top/last) into your cart as to how the discount(s) applies itself.

I had 3 sets of 3-for-$25 in my cart, followed by a $19.95 title & then 10 of the $5.95 titles (about 5 of each - $14.95 & $19.95 - notmal price). When they wer put in this way, my cart totaled $149.45 (3*$25 + 19.95-5.00 + 10*5.95 = $75 + 14.95 + 59.50 = 149.45). When I removed the $19.95 title & re-applied it (putting it at the top), the total went up by about $14.

When I got it back to the right price, I also noticed that the "1st web order discount" was $10 instead of the normal $5 - at that point I didn't care so long as the total was right.

Needless to say, the cart/webdvd system does seem to work better in general - especially with firewall programs.

I just called DV2 customer service about the quantity limit for the same title, it turned out they do have a limit. I was told each title is limited 2 copies per account, may be 5 copies in the holiday season. Your membership will not be terminated if you exceed the limit but they will cancel the order.

The phone # is the same as the regular CH DVD club's. When I talked to this CSR, he seemed not to be very knowledgible. I don't think I would take all of his words for certain. If anybody knows more about the order limit, please let us know.

Star Trek: Nemesis is now $4.95. Not a great film, but at that price and with the $2 funcash earned, I couldn't pass it up.
