Wow, what a sight to see....

I just ordered two more:

Timeline.......$7.84
The Untouchables.....FREE

DonnachaOne 10-07-06 10:59 AM

Yeah, they lumped together most of the orders I made on the first day. Also, they didn't try any repricing; everything that was supposed to be free remains free. I was worried that if they compiled the order, someone in some department might have thought the cheapest ones were the free ones and that they now charged me more for all the expensive ones that were free - that happened with a COlumbia House order of mine. This has been a lovely experience!

Looks like Chinatown got a new cover. I prefer the old cover, personally.

I can't wait until I get all those Friday the 13th movies.

That makes me want to place another order. DDD can thank you for sharing that picture.

The first part is true [if you were a lonely single guy like me you might also have a negative outlook on life], but I don't always think I'm getting the short end of the stick on DVD deals. Sometimes I do OK. The reason I think I complain less than I used to is I got burned so often in the past I learned to buy very few DVDs except when they are under $5. At $5 I can only lose a few dollars instead of losing $5-$10 each.

Besides, it helps me to hear other people's stories and strategies about how they choose when to buy. I'll try to keep my negativity in check while posting, but it's difficult. Just think of me as the local village idiot... maybe I make people laugh?

Jeez, I never get big orders in one big box like that from DDD. Did you select the "ship all together" option or something? I always get a series of small boxes with 3-4 a piece.

Btw, is that copy of Once Upon a Time in the West in a double Alpha case? I guess it's just the angle playing tricks on me, but it looks like it's in a single-sized case there.

Can anyone recommend a film in the sale that might make a companion with Days of Heaven?

I went with Hud, but Nobody's Fool, Last Tycoon, or This Property Is Condemned would make good pairings as well.

Brent L 10-10-06 12:24 AM

Meh, I don't like the new cover for The Elephant Man. It makes it look like some horrible b-movie or something.

Would like to order some DVD's but the main dvd i've been waiting to order is the new Black Rain CE which is $9.44, yet it's not working with the B1G1 in the cart...any chance of DDD able to make this title work with the current sale??

animatedude 10-10-06 04:35 PM

is Collateral still a 2-disc set or they downgraded it to a 1-disc version?

I called them today about Reds, and they said since it was a pre-order when the sale began, it wasen't applicable. I assume the same is true of Black Rain.

souvenir 10-10-06 05:12 PM

received my order today and the cover for Bringing Out the Dead that's on DDD isn't the one I got - I loved the old one but the new one is terrible

Bill Geiger 10-10-06 05:57 PM

I got my order today....yippie!

Yeah, I got the same one. For a second I thought it was some old movie with the same name.

Thanks, Hud it will be then. I was kind of leaning toward it.

raidersrule86 10-10-06 08:05 PM

Last night I ordered Apocalypse Now: The Complete Dossier and Clarissa Explains It All: Season One for $13.67, along with Blade 2 (SE) for $6.98.

cfloyd3 10-10-06 11:40 PM

Wow, that is the new cover for The Elephant Man? I am horrified.

I ordered it of course not expecting that monstrosity of a cover, ouch.

This a good chance to pick up some catalog titles, so I did, not realizing they did alot of lame cover changes, that Elephant Man is god awful.

I got

The Elephant Man
The Conversation
Hud
Ordinary People
Seconds
Paper Moon

So far, for about $21 and change. Probably will get another $6 pairing before its over.
