First order in. Got some Doctor Who and a few other goodies. I am looking at making one, maybe two other orders this sale. Three years now and I always get more and more ideas looking through everyone else's orders.

Thanks for the answer on the HD DVDs . Went ahead and ordered-
Alexander Revisted $15.73 backordered
Slither $11.98 backordered
With the 20% off $22.17. I tried to order the Mission: Impossible 3 pack HD but it no longer can be ordered.

I agree. Haven't bought many DVDs since HD DVD blew up. I'll probably pick up a few HD-DVds during this sale.

My first order shipped even with my back ordered Slither HD!

I dont see myself spending any money on this sale this year. My order in November was only $40 total. I bought the flags of our fathers/iwo Jima box set for $32 and I ordered Bugsy $4.79 and Brick $3.19

I have spent usually $300-700 on these sales in the past. My wishlist is also in the $3K range.

There is stuff I want but I have about 150 or so movies I havent even opened and watched yet and whatever I bought now probably wouldnt be watched in a year and prices continue to drop so I can wait on them.
Another reason is dd has better deals throughout the year and 20% off the titles on my wishlist are still not at a price point that I want to pay. Like last november right after the 20% off sale they had BOGO on Simpson season sets and other season sets, I spent more on that sale than the 20% off. .
I spend most of my dvd money with DD and never had an issue with the company, but its just a bad time for the economy and I pretty much am just spending money on food nowadays or deals that blow me away.

My first order. I had a few HD-DVDs in there but they were showing OOS. I decided I may wait on those since I will be out of town soon and won't know when those may ship.

I hear you on that, thats how many of the past sales went for me. The last November and this one were special for me though. Being in Iraq, these sales count for 90% of my dvd buying. I don't have the time to spend scooping out the best prices through out the year and picking and choosing what I wait on, so I know I can count on the Deep Discount sale will provide pretty decent prices for me to catch up on releases and blow some money. I have gotten known as the dvd guy here, everyone is always stopping by to borrow random movies from me, got a couple guys into some stuff they other wise would never have watched like The Third Man, Secret Honor, Doctor Who and Kurosawa.

I am not planning to buy much this upcoming November though, since I finally get to go home in December.

Yeah, I read over it a few times searching for the coupon code; must just be that I saw 'DVDTALK' and assumed they were addressing us or something, it took me reading that thing 4 times before I realised the code was staring me right in the face.

Had this not been a recent theatrical release and Oscar winner, not to mention making 40 million at the box-office, I would say maybe. And I would expect this from a *real* independent film like "Snow Angels". Not this. I just called DD. They have no idea when they'll be getting it in stock, so I cancelled my order.

Once HD-DVD died, I picked up an Xbox addon for $50. Man am I glad I did. I've carefully watched all the sales and managed to get just about everything I wanted. As soon as the DDD 20% coupon worked (days early), I immediately put my order in on all the HD-DVDs I've been wanting. I did manage to get Slither and MI 3-pack; already got shipping confirmation on all of them. Here's what I got:

I'm pretty pumped. I was toying with the idea of trying to get Matrix set (backordered even when I tried), but I just have no desire to pay for parts 2 and 3 (which I have no desire to ever revisit). But, if I consider it $35.00 for a high def DVD of just the first Matrix (with Parts 2 and 3 included for free), I can kind of sell myself on it.

Dr Mabuse

i'm not sure if somebody asked already...

the box set i wanted was in stock yesterday but today is OOS, with a message that it will be in soon, i'll get an email on expected ship, and i won't be charged until it does ship...

if i buy it on the sale, and it ships later than the sale do i not get the discount?...

EDIT: i just called them... whenever it ships, i still get the discount...

BobO'Link

Be patient...

1. The sale has only been "live" for ~2 days.

2. Lots of people did not know it started 2 days early!

3. People's incessant whining about "prices are higher" and "DD sucks" are banned from this thread under penalty of account suspension. That alone accounts for a estimated 50% reduction in the number of posts.

wanted to get 'Alexander - Revisited' on HD-DVD. Two evenings ago, I received my batch of 5 free HD-DVDs from the Toshiba offer from Feb '08. Guess what title was included in it :-) (none of the 5 were what I selected on the rebate form - and I am not complaining considering what I received)

Daytripper

I just went to Best Buy. They had several copies of "TWBB" Blu-Ray. The sticker was $29.99. But according to their website, it's on sale for $27.99 (I know, two whopping dollars). Still, the same price at DD.com before the 20%. So if you go to Best Buy, make sure you make them ring it up with the proper sale price.

I emailed DD yesterday and they emailed me back today.I should be paying $16.95 instead of $23.95 but the email pretty much said they won't change it.I wonder if I called them, if I'd get a different result? What's their customer service #?

DeepDiscount doesn't post all the codes. I do. And I'm pretty sure DVD Talk hasn't in the past, nor will they now, receive any "credit" for sales by using that code. Only by CLICKING on the affiliate link in the first post, or from the "Shop" page. The purpose for the different codes is to see where the people come from.

Pizza

In DD's defense, they're trying to walk a fine line of being fair to themselves and international customers. Shipping isn't cheap to other countries and instead of doing a 1 disc = x amount, the're dong total amounts, which I think would be a better deal for the buyer. I realize that the shipping is killing the 20% "deal" for customers in Canada and such but I think it's fair to assume that since DD is making less per title/order during the 20% off sale that for them to eat some of the shipping costs will kill profits for them, too. Don't get me wrong, I know it sucks paying international shipping as I've ordered things from Japan, Germany, UK, Australia and Canada and have felt the pinch.

kyle

Look at the first post of this thread--it was posted by DeepDiscount and they posted a whole list of codes.

The Cow

Perhaps you should re-read the first post, keeping in mind the username you were replying to.

kyle

Ahh--didn't realize there was an edit in there--never saw the post without the edits--just assumed it was all the original DeepDiscount post. (Yes, I know what happens when you assume )

Anyway, I DID use DVDTALK for the one order I placed.

Thank you, and may I ask who that other vendor is?

First My Complaint

Customer (xxxxxx) - 05/20/2008
Name : xxxxxxx
Phone : xxxxxxxxx
Store : Deep Discount
Order #:
Reason : Hi,

I have been a regular customer of Deepdiscount for past 1 year. I wish to report an error(bug) in the calculation of the shipping charges at your site for international customers.
Whenever a deal like Buy one Get One Free or Buy Two Get One Free is on offer, the shipping charges levied for international customers is incorrect.

For e.g. the ongoing offer on Buy 1 Get 1 free Anchor Bay titles , i wish to order both the volumes of Bava set (Bava set Vol.1 and Bava set Vol. 2) priced at 30.38 each. The total value of the order comes to 60.76. The shipping charges shown are $12.95 which is correct since my order value is between $50.01 and $100. If i apply the concerning coupon code, the order value plummets to 30.38 correctly. However, the shipping charges do not drop to $8.95 (applicable for order values between $25.01 and $50). This results in international customers paying more shipping charges. This error has been there for a while. I have to make long international calls to explain it to the customer service representatives every time i wish to place such an order. It would be really nice if you guys can fix this error asap.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
xxxxx.

My response

Hi,

Order Number : *xxxxxxx
Full Name : xxxxxxxxx
Shipping Address :
* xxxxxxx
*
Billing Address:
* xxxxxxx

The correct order value is $45.36 after applying a discount of $30.38.
Yet, i have been charged $12.95 shipping fees whereas it should have been
$8.95 for the international order since order value lies between $25.01-$50
and not between $50.01-$100.

Please refund the difference in shipping charges back to my account.

Thanks,
xxxxx.
