When you live overseas it is better trust me.
You save on postage as you make huge orders. If i lived in the US i could buy stuff as soon as it goes on sale because DD have free delivery. -Ben |

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.

It could be that music royalties are a lot higher too.

It would be nice if DD would list the Peter Watkins titles that are coming out (Edvard Munch DC 2 disc and The Freethinker) as that is about all I really want. Sigh.

I'd just bookmark this thread. It should happen very soon. If not, call me Daft DVD Polizei. :D |
Yeah, I agree. The BxGx have been slim pickens.

I'm getting antsy for this sale. I want to pick up things such as The X-Files: Complete Series, and Blue Planet. So far, the 20% prices are the best out there.

Yeah, I hear ya, box sets are the best way to optimize savings during the 20% off sale, I have been wanting the newest box sets from simpsons, south park, sopranoes, mst3k, 24, and King of the hill and I have been waiting for months, anticipating this sale. |
I know some people said they raised some prices on certain DVDs right before this sale began last time. Im looking at some HD-DVDs such as Batman Begins because Id rather buy it from DD than get it as my 3 free with an A3 purchase as it is one of the cheaper movies listed ($19.32). Whats the chance they jack these prices up before the sale begins?

I have however upgraded to HD-DVD so my interests in ordering overseas has comeback, so hopefully they have this 20% off again, might pickup about 10 HD titles sand save 20 bob. The prices in Australia for HD-DVD are very expressive, in fact I can only find 1 store who supplies them, and that's ezydvd, they charge between $30-$45 a title and considering the aussie dollar is nearly the same as US it's time to order overseas again.

That Twin Peaks Gold Box of mines better not get jacked up from 63.99 :fc:

Can't you just remember the prices?
It's not that hard if you have them saved in your wishlist... -Ben |
The wishlist will change price as well.

Yeah i can basically remember the titles though. I have like 20 titles and can basically remember them. Not to the cent but roughly.

Please don't piss me off :) ...or MovieExchange for his great FAQ he's written up yet again.[/SIZE]

I'm not getting much. It's still such a good deal, but I'm not in the greatest financial place at the moment. I'm just picking up a few titles I sold previous releases to grab (ie ANGEL: Complete Series). I'm getting the I Love Lucy set for a friend (I sold his previous sets on Ebay for him so he could get the new set).
I was hoping to have enough to grab My So-Called Life, Twin Peaks, and the Seinfeld Set, but I might have to wait until MAY for those... it bites because I already sold all my copies of the previous releases to pick these up. I was all set to get the X-Files set, but with the recent announcement of the new movie, I think I'll hold off for the time being to see if they release another "complete" set... |
Damn, is that Sergio Leone Anthology ever going to get to the $40 range? I'll never forgive myself for missing that $35 deal from Amazon.
|
Now that we have a favorable exchange rate, I might have to break down and get some titles.
