Q: What about the two retail locations of DDD and DVD Planet? Do they participate in the sale?
(I think I remember reading that the IL location did last year.)

Walmart is have the HD-A2 hd-dvd player for $98 starting tomorrow. The upcoming DD sale would be a perfect opportunity for new HD DVD owners to stock up on their favourite titles.

It's rare but sometimes DDD will accept a coupon code for a pre-order, that has also happened to me in the past. If unsure about anything during the sale, just go ahead and try it. You can never tell what the result will be since it varies from year to year.

As I recall, the June sale started a week earlier this year than usual (but ended the same time). So perhaps...?

"I" recall that the B&M DD site in IL DID have the 20% off sale but the prices in store were more expensive for some reason.
Either way, youre better off ordering online with the free shipping cuz we're getting hit with sales tax in IL either way.

Yeah I noticed that aswell. 3 bucks a pop on each order can add up and pay for a few more titles. I think I might give DDD a heads up to hopefully correct the problem.

the sale must be coming, they just raised the price on a bunch of DVDs I've been looking at

Let me/us know how you get along with this
..... HOWEVER - I do believe that they DD have simply changed their processing rules/rates following the release of their new site a while ago.

Getting them to change the way in which they process / charge shipping rates (international) isnt exactly an easy fix. I'm believing that it was deliberately change (its actually made me 'rethink' a few offers - especially the B2G1F offers - and how those 'free' items get included in the determination of postage charges).

I just checked my Wishlist and the majority of the price have stayed the same. Six titles have dropped in price, ranging from $0.39 - $6.47.

I for one (I know I am alone here) hope it doesn't start in the next couple of days because I plan on making a huger order (north of 500$) but I won't have any money till November 16th and I really don't wont to miss out.

A poster on the Turner Classic Movies message board said that the sale is going to start Friday November 9th, but he wasn't sure how long it was going to last. Not sure where he got the info, though...

Also out on 11/20: The "Dr. Katz" complete series set, which DD has knocked way down to $85 already. Here's hoping.

Thanks for the suggestions and the compliments, everyone!

As some of you may know, I own a store that deals in previously viewed DVD's. I just acquired a large collection from another store that dealt in previously viewed titles, and I'm busy organizing and prepping almost 600 new titles for sale. So please be patient with me, as I don't have a lot of time to monitor this thread and update the FAQ.

Remember, last year DD extended their sale an extra five days, it could happen

Will there be a separate thread started for DVDPlanet's sale?

Man, I really wish I knew what the price on the ANGEL complete series was going to be next week.

Do we know if books will be included since the expansion of DD to include them as well? I can't remember if that happened before the last sale or not.

If I remember right, books were to be excluded last time, but the codes worked on some of them.. something to that effect.

There was a bug that allowed the 20% code to work on books and CDs for a few hours last sale. However, there were books and CDs that were discounted to around the prices they would be with the 20% code, even if they weren't eligible.

Why is it do you think that DVD's are constantly going on sale and getting price reductions from the studios, but CD's hardly ever do? I've never seen a store-wide sale on CD's except for going-out-of-business sales. With DVD box sets, if the price is really high I just wait and eventually they get reduced or else they find their way into some 20% Off or B2G1F deal. That happens for every single DVD without fail. But there are CD box sets that have literally been on my want list for 10 years that I've never seen anywhere on sale or ever dropped a dime in price since their initial release. You'd think with the diminished profits the record companies are seeing that they'd be trying to increase CD sales more by promoting more price reductions and big sales. The more DVD sales plateau the more great deals seem to abound, but it works just the opposite for CD's.

Ah, one of my favorite times of the year. Especially upon reading the threads seeing DVDTalkers push a certain movie or two and then buckling and buying said movies.

I think that's why the music industry is held in so low regard.

Just keeping notes on particular DVDs and whether the prices will change when the sale goes on.

UPDATE: These prices did NOT change. I can't guarantee prices didn't change on other titles, but I think these were some popular titles certain to be on the lists of a few people. So, kudos to DeepDiscount.

You bloody got my hopes up there.

I thought you were posting your purchases to show us your discount!!

Anyway does anybody know if it is possible that Deep Discount will scrap the 20% off sale completley?

Like what happens if they didn't have it???

Is that possible?

Or is it a certainty?

Thanks.

Well, I have to say, if you've been watching their sales over the last 3 months, such as the B1G1 or B2G1 sales, it averages out better than a 20% sale.

I'd just bookmark this thread. It should happen very soon. If not, call me Daft DVD Polizei.
