Buy.com's price is even cheaper than DDD would sell it for during the 20% sale.

Dilbert is 22.99 too, with that being a much lower price than anyone else.

Got my Seven Samurai yesterday also. Unfortunately it was shipped in just a padded mailer, but it arrived in ok condition. But I guess I can't complain for the price. I already owned the release from the Kurosawa box set, but this is a beutiful set. Thanks OP.

That's weird. My Seven Samurai arrived yesterday in a pretty good sized box with some air pillow padding. The box was a little crushed, but the DVD was in perfect condition.

Well, I got "the Recruit" today instead of Rescue Me season 2. The big problem is I cannot contact customer service online since you need to login and since I used google checkout I don't have a log in. I hope this doesn't end up taking weeks to get set straight.

Some good things being released October 10 which i will pick up:
Motion Picture Masterpieces Collection
DAVID COPPERFIELD: "We are friends for life." The man speaking: Micawber, played by W.C. Fields with great comedic charm and human warmth. The child addressed: David, played by Freddie Bartholomew in his Hollywood debut. The movie: DAVID COPPERFIELD, still one of the best-ever screen adaptations of a Charles Dickens novel. "To call the casting inspired is to underrate it," historian David Shipman wrote in his The Story of Cinema. Lionel Barrymore, Edna May Oliver, Maureen O'Sullivan, Basil Rathbone and more joined Fields and Bartholomew in portraying the eccentrics, cads and loving family of this film directed by George Cukor. David O. Selznick produced, insisting on an attention to Dickensian detail that included matching the sets to the first edition's illustrations. The result: one of the greatest page-to-screen adaptations ever.
MARIE ANTOINETTE: Her eyes shine as brightly as the diamonds at her slender throat or as the countless candles that turn the Palace of Versailles into a light-drenched fantasy world. She is MARIE ANTOINETTE, Queen of France: beautiful, imperious, headstrong...and doomed. With an opulence exemplifying Hollywood's Golden Era at its most glamorous, the grandeur and revolutionary fervor of 18th-century France sweeps across the screen in this nominee for 4 Academy Awards. Elegant Best Actress Oscar nominee Norma Shearer stars in the decades-spanning title role, Tyrone Power plays her ardent beloved, John Barrymore is crafty Louis XV and debuting Robert Morley portrays timid Louis XVI. From ballroom to boudoir to guillotine, MARIE ANTOINETTE is regal romantic adventure.
PRIDE AND PREJUDICE: Like the arrows she launches at an archery target during an elegant lawn party, Elizabeth Bennet's wit is pointed and unerring. "If you want to be really refined, you have to be dead," she says, skewering the imperious airs of her hosts. Jane Austen's timeless 1813 novel of unlikely romance is richly adapted in this lavish Academy Award? winner. Greer Garson portrays spirited Elizabeth, one of five Bennet sisters hoping for matrimony. Laurence Olivier plays Darcy, whose arrival at a nearby estate sets maiden hearts aflutter. But first impressions can mean so very much. Elizabeth and Darcy find reasons to view each other with disdain, setting in motion a velvet struggle of PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, perception and reality, forgiveness and love. You'll be irresistibly caught up in it.
A TALE OF TWO CITIES: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times..." Charles Dickens' tale of love and tumult during the French Revolution comes to the screen in a sumptuous film version by the producer famed for nurturing sprawling literary works: David O. Selznick (DAVID COPPERFIELD, Anna Karenina, Gone with the Wind). Ronald Colman (The Prisoner of Zenda) stars as Sydney Carton - sardonic, dissolute, a wastrel...and destined to redeem himself in an act of courageous sacrifice. "It's a far, far better thing I do than I've ever done," Carton muses at that defining moment. This is far, far better filmmaking, too: a Golden Era marvel of uncanny performances top to bottom, eye-filling crowd scenes (the storming of the Bastille, thronged courtrooms, an eerie festival of public execution) and lasting emotional power. Revolution is in the air!
TREASURE ISLAND: Avast, mates, and heed a pirate's tale. Billy Bones, bless his cursed soul, has hefted his cutlass and grog for the last time, leaving behind scarcely a doubloon. Aye, but he has left a map to a fabled, buried treasure...The unforgettable stars of 1931's The Champ reunite for a rousing adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's tale. Jackie Cooper is Jim Hawkins, a lad living the kind of adventure every child dreams about. Treasure map in hand, Jim and his backers set sail for realms and riches unknown aboard the Hispaniola. But beware, me hearties: Notorious, one-legged Long John Silver (Wallace Beery) has signed on to the voyage by posing as a cook. Will the treasure fall into his scheming grasp? Will the Hispaniola soon be a-flying the dreaded skull and bones? Drop anchor and watch. A pirate's life for ye!
Hollywoods Legends of Horror Collection
This collection of the movie macabre contains some of the most frightening films of Hollywood's Golden Age, with legendary actors such as Fay Wray and Humphrey Bogart. Titles include: Doctor X, The Return of Doctor X, Mad Love, The Devil Doll, Mark of the Vampire and Mask of Fu Manchu!

the last 2 of my 4 orders were cancelled so I just placed them again...hopefully they go through this time. Anybody have a definitive answer on why they are cancelling random orders?

Well, one of the two new orders I submitted has already been cancelled. It appears that maybe google checkout is the one cancelling it. I may have to set up a different google account for the other two orders. Do you think google is limiting the number of orders you can apply the discount to?

Like some others here, I couldn't get the Google checkout link to work in either Firefox or IE after three days of trying. I decided that the error message must be due to some sort of timeout because of my very slow phone modem (24K on a good day; yes, it is pretty glacial). So, I went to my local library, which has broadband, and was able to place two orders without a hitch.
If anyone else is having trouble and is on a slow internet connection, I suggest finding a broadband connection and giving that a try.

I just had two orders canceled at Buy.com as well. I've tried for the Matrix Ultimate Collection twice now, and both orders have been canceled. Other orders have gone through. So I wonder if certain items get canceled. There was nothing different about how I placed the orders for the Matrix Collection--strange.

i placed an order last saturday (nip/tuck season 3) and it still hasn't shipped yet. it just says "sent to warehouse."
i wonder what's taking so long for it to ship... maybe they're getting a ton of orders, which may explain some of the random cancelling. *shrug*

I ordered Texhnolyze vol 1 and box today at lunch with no problems from Best Prices, but now I've got an email saying it's backordered (had one copy when I ordered). Go look at their site, I see 5 copies "in stock" but a new prices of $28.99 (was $30.99 when I ordered this afternoon). Hope it doesn't get cancelled on me. X_x
First time using them, so I wanted to see how things go before I order anything else....
