Got my package today and I feel I hit the jackpot, all things considered. Got the Pulse UR WS, Scary Movie 4 FS and Breaking and Entering WS. Better than $3 titles at Big Lots!

Was happy to have received:
Breaking and Entering
Pulse
Scary Movie 4 FS
Guess it paid to order mine a little later in that I didn't get any Matrix films (which I didn't want). Also glad to have not received the Foxworthy DVD. In fact if I had to pick 3 from the ones being received by folks, I might have preferred Junction Boys instead of Scary Movie, but that's about it.

I get over-ordering on major titles the Matrix films, Scary Movie, ...even Pulse.
But how the hell did they wind up with so much overstock of stuff like "Jeff Foxworthy's Comedy Classics"?? Somebody at Family Video had WAAAAAAY to much faith in the selling power of unfunny redneck comedy! lol
...and Junction Boys? Breaking and Entering? not exactly high-demand titles they needed to stock up on!

^ Of course, as someone else mentioned, I bought 3 titles for $2.97 before tax...and they spent $2.88 to ship them to me. They'd have to be buying titles in a pretty large number to make any profit on these.

some times it is more profitable to not pay storage space on dead product...

Agreed. I am sure they didn't anticipate the free shipping situation because 1 per household wouldn't have qualified. However, since they did honor multiple disc orders, and still gave free shipping on 3 discs, I think they should be commended for customer service.
