Yeah, I'm shocked it's so low. Heck, I thought the $20 price point was a deal. 
That said, are you sure you might want to jump on that deal?
We accept you, one of us! Gooble Gobble!

Extras is only 6 episodes at 30 minutes each, so I personally don't consider it a deal at $30 retail, $21 online.
Still I might pick it up with the coupon.

Just placed an order at DVDEmpire. I had to use my other credit card for it to work. It will not allow me to place another order with the previous card, even on a different Google account (although it did the other day).

Yeah, they can't really limit per address for the people that live in apartment buildings, and they say you can use multiple email addresses. The only real way they can prevent it is to start blocking purchases from the same credit cards.
I'm not sure how many cards most people have, but I suspect it will cut down on orders dramatically for those that were going crazy, especially because there is still plenty of time left before it ends.

Yeah I just got that Google email on the account that had the error come up. Thankfully all but one of my items has shipped already. Good catch, Google Checkout Team!

If I remember correctly, a few people in other forums got this warning as part of the 2006 promotion. I wonder what Google is using to associate accounts? I was warning people not to use the same credit card in multiple places.
Also, how do they decide which email address to send this warning to if people use a different email address each time? And does this correspondance show up in your Google order history? Some of the email addresses that I've used are no longer active.

I placed 5 orders on one card, and 1 order on my other card. I had never used google checkout before, but I did already have 7 gmail accounts open prior to this.

I'm curious to see if this email that's circulating is exclusive to people who tried ordering in the last 12 hours and received an error...
