Yeah, that little issue with the cart was annoying the hell out of me too!

And I think you'll still be able to order them. It's been that way during the 20% off sale and IIRC other sales as well.

I'm debating between buying a few of these titles and the Herzog/Kinski set that is 20% off right now. I'm leaning toward the Herzog box, but who knows.

If you get more than $50 worth, use American Express and the code 'DVD' to get 10% off.

NICK OF TIME $0.00

WITNESS (SE) $9.44
ROAD TO PERDITION (WS) $0.00

Thanks for the heads-up on this!
At under $40 for 12 movies, I overlooked a few of them not being anamorphic. The only thing I was surprised to see was that Bloody Sunday isn't on the list (I was hoping to get that and Stalag 17 together for around $6.75 each)

I'm glad that I held off on Shane and A Place in the Sun. They are the only two available films in the AFI 100 that I have yet to pick up. I don't mind paying $3.00 a piece.
I think I will also pick up a couple of the individual Friday the 13th titles.

My checking account is glad that I didn't find too many things I wanted. I did pick up Antz, Chicken Run, Fire in the Sky, & Friday the 13th for under $16 though.

I narrowed it down to a total order of $65. I split it up to make sure I got the lowest amount. They make you pay for the most expensive items and you get the cheapest ones free, so I paired them up by price and placed 5 total orders.

THE PHANTOM $6.03
MARATHON MAN $0.00

ORCA-THE KILLER WHALE $9.36
HAROLD AND MAUDE $9.36
SMALL SOLDIERS $0.00
I'LL SLEEP WHEN I'M DEAD (WS) $0.00

AIRPLANE (DON'T CALL ME SHIRLEY ED $9.44
WARRIORS (ULTIMATE DIRECTOR'S CUT) $9.44
ADDAMS FAMILY/ADDAMS FAMILY VALUES $0.00
TOP GUN (SCE/WS/2D) $0.00

THE UNTOUCHABLES $7.84
NIGHT AT THE ROXBURY, A $0.00

CLARISSA EXPLAINS IT ALL-1ST SEASO $13.67
BAD NEWS BEARS (WS/2005) $0.00

Admittedly, some of these are guilty pleasures, but a lot of them are DVDs that I've been meaning to get for some time. I had originally went through the site and picked out anything that interested me. That came to over $200. This total was about $65 and it's for a total of 14 DVDs for an average of less than $5 a DVD!

I used to think $4.88 was a pretty safe price... I may have to adjust that down to $3.99 and start passing on those Walmart $4.88 displays.

Still, there's a lot I'd like to order. What's annoying about this sale is that you have to place multiple orders to group different priced DVDs. Otherwise, if you buy 2 $9.44 DVDs and 2 $6.03 DVDs, you only get the $6.03 DVDs for free.

I wonder if this sale is because of Blu-Ray and HD-DVD and is the first signs of DVD going out as old technology - meaning we should see a lot more sales like this with different studios, or did they just have way too many Paramount titles and DDD is selling them far cheaper than usual (typically $4.80)?
You are not really serious are you? It will be years and I mean years for HD or BluRay to even come close to DVD, if they ever do. No it's just a matter of studios moving out inventory that is not moving out as quickly as they would like.

Thanks for the scoop. I took it easy & only ordered the "Anchorman"/"Old School" Will Ferrell double whammy. 2 movies = $9.44. Can't beat that.

Anyone want to speculate when/if DVD Planet will also be running this sale? Got some trade-in credit I'd love to use for this.
