Thanks!

You're thinking of DVDPlanet.com. Just to clarify, DVDPlanet is a sister site of DDD, so "rival" is not an accurate description. A "companion" sale would be more accurate

I would say that DVDEmpire's shipping IS on the high side. $6.00 + .85 per item for UPS. DVDPlanet I think is 2.99 + .99 per item

DVDPlanet has free shipping for orders over $35.

DVDEmpire has free shipping if you purchase 3 or more DVDs.

Really? I knew it was paired with Digitaleyes but not DD. Where did you catch that? DVDPlanet used to be owned by the guys who owned Ken Cranes down in Long Beach Cali area. Awesome stores...but I didn't know they had any connection to DeepDiscount.

I was thinking about picking up The Last Emperor, but then I read that it will be coming out on CC blu-ray in October, which may address the compression issues with the TV version. (of course this means that I will also need a blu-ray player )

I am planning on picking up Postwar Kurosawa, and maybe The Thief of Bagdad . Too bad DD doesn't have The Three Stooges Collection 2 (1937-1939).

Edit: I see that The Three Stooges Collection 2 (1937-1939) is now available. Cool!

I am really going to try and pace myself this time, I usually make a big order day one, another one a few days later, and then one or two more towards the end. This time, I am going for two at max. This might be my last one with Deep Discount, planning on selling some of my shelf clutter to DVD Planet in a few months and live off the credit for the Nov sale.

Trev- Postwar Kurosawa and the Thief of Baghdad are two of my considerations as well

TheV

Should be on every shelf, excellent set.

After DVDTalk's review of Thief I've added that to my list for DDD as well.

Hmm....I think you're right, I must have got Digitaleyes and DVDPlanet confused. I think right after Digitaleyes went away, DVDPlanet also had their 20% off sale and I merged them into one in my mind.

Edit1: Ok. I'm not crazy. Digitaleyes.net and DVDPlanet.com merged on April 1, 2006.

I'll have to research the Digitaleyes.net / DDD relationship. If they were sister sites, then I'm not sure what the DDD / DVDPlanet relationship is? First cousins?

Edit2: Seymouru beat me to it. Infinity Resources owns both companies.

DeepDiscount and DVDPlanet are owned by the same parent company, Infinity Resources, Inc. (IRI), but are operated as separate businesses.

IRI launched DeepDiscountDVD in 2001. They subsequently bought DVDPlanet and Digital Eyes and merged them into one site, adopting the DVDPlanet brand but using most of Digital Eyes' staff and software.

Cool...thanks for the info. I like all three resellers, didn't know about the DDD connection though.

Why does customer support say they don't know when the sale will start and suggest maybe later this month or early next month when it starts in 3 days?

pilot

because they either don't know, or aren't suppose to tell. plus technically, three days from now is "later this month"

seymouru

You're expecting Customer Service to know what's going on?? Some of them barely know the name of the company!!

Hey, I thought some of you might like to know Deep Discount lowered their HD-DVD prices a little bit. It's not much, but combined with the 20% off sale it might make some of the titles worth purchasing. A lot of them that were $12.20 (I think) are now $11.98. Some of the HD-DVD/DVD Combo ones are at this price now too and were previously around $18 a piece.

I'm planning on ordering quite a few titles myself with the sale.

Just a quick question about deepdiscount I tried to add more then 5 movies to my cart but it said We have a security limitation of 5 items in your shopping cart. Does this mean during the sale we cant add more then 5 at a time? Thats really gonna piss me off.

alfonsosoriano

I'd LOL if the sale didn't start on Friday. And then run.

pilot

Just tried it. Logged in and logged out, both times got that message. That's really odd.

I'm going to email them and figure out why.

Numes

Same error here. How odd. That doesn't even make sense.

pilot

The error should be fixed now, according to DD. I shall check in a moment

pilot

It's fixed.
