Thanks for this deal! I got Cinderella Man and The Adventures of Robin Hood (HD-DVDs) from Bestprices for $31.95 shipped. It's pretty good, considering Amazon is still charging almost $24 for CM.

On a side note, I just received my last order from the original $10 off $20, the Hollywood Legends Of Horror Collection from CD Universe for $16.53 shipped. A pretty nice looking set, it will definitely be getting watched this weekend.

I received your e-mail enticing me to use Google Checkout this morning.
I have been trying to make a purchase at buy.com using Google Checkout since last Friday, September 29th. GOOGLE CHECKOUT DOES NOT WORK! It did not work last Friday and it still does not work this morning.
Using the latest version of Firefox, I get "The connection was reset The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading." notice. I get similar results using the latest versions of IE and the Opera browser.
I sent you an e-mail about this problem last Friday. I received a boilerplate response back from you expressing sorrow and asking me to call your customer support department.
Rather than asking your customers to jump through hoops, why not just fix the problem? Apparently, you don't care about your customers, or the business they do with you.
I purchased the items I would have purchased from buy.com, from one of your competitors. For me, the problem is solved. For you, it most definitely is not.

For me, checking out with the latest version of Firefox was impossible. 0 for 25. With IE I was more successful, but I still had problems. I was able to check out successfully 2 out of 5 times with IE. I’m not too upset with the inability to check out, had everything gone okay from the beginning I prolly would have spent way too much money. This problem at least limits the amount I can spend before the deal ends.

I finally figured out DVD Empire. The google link shows up on the page that comes up after you add items to your cart, and not on the page when you click procede to checkout like it does at the other sites. From there, I just bought:
Order #4: 14 Hours, Shock, & Vicky (Fox Film Noir)
The total came to $22.37, or $7.46 for each DVD. That's cheaper than the DDD 20% off sale, and I was planning to buy these then. Woohoo!
NOTE:
I have been placing all of my orders using Firefox, and I haven't had a single problem. I have no clue what's up with some of you.

Ironically, Buy.Com sent me an email saying they couldn't contact me by email about my order :P

Anyone who is having problems try refreshing and using the BACK button - even when you get the "OOPS". It does really work - most times taking many, many times and tries. I even put the checkout.google.com (216.239.57.113) in my hosts file to make sure that it atleast would resolve the address. (Because of the https (security) the address may resolve but the server is so overloaded or such that you get the same "can not find server" message.)
Also from what DrPrimo said, if you signed in and still get back to the sign-in with your email showing but only requested your password, hit the BACK button and you may jsut get to the final checkout (or you may have to go through the aforementioned back-n-forth). I would suggest, if you get the sign-in screen again after signing in, sign-in again and maybe even a third time, if you get it even again, before trying the BACK button. This may provide better success rate.
Happy bargaining !
I off to do my 6th and counting.......some have already shipped too !!!!

Glad to see some other people have had cancellations too...I placed 4 orders initially and they cancelled them all. (after taking their sweet time with them) I also got an email from them saying they couldn't conact me by email or phone. I'm assuming something in my billing info didn't look correct to them, so I changed a couple things and am waiting to see what happens with a new order.

When I checked out through Google Checkout, I got an email from them showing the discount, but the subsequent email from Bestprices did not have the discount applied.
EDIT: Never mind. I just looked at the Google email again and it said the bonus may not appear on the store's web site or emails.

Someone may have already mentioned this, but....
Buy.com is selling The Critic (The Complete Series) starring Jon Lovitz, a great show, for $22.99. You'll have to tack something else on, but if you compare with other vendors prices on the set - Amazon $45 and $37 at Deep Discount DVD - this is a great chance for anyone who hasn't picked this up yet. Buy.com's price is even cheaper than DDD would sell it for during the 20% sale.
