What sound do you get on the more commonly found version?
Thanks again!

How much does the Dolby TrueHD sound really matter? What's the difference? I'll most likely have a PS3 as my playback, and just using the speakers on whatever display I get for at least the next year (no receiver/surround set-up).
What sound do you get on the more commonly found version?
Thanks again!

I haven't actually listened to it (just got it yesterday) but I've heard there is a big difference. There usually is a discernible difference between lossy and lossless soundtracks.
The new one also has a lossless PCM soundtrack which should be identical to the TrueHD soundtrack.
It's true you won't be able to take advantage of these without a decent receiver but since they are about the same price (as long as you get the 25% off and free shipping at the Warner Store), you might as well future proof it.

Live.com has plenty of time to pull it back out of your account and they probably will. It works with sale items like the BOGO sales but when you have to apply a coupon, they will credit it initially but normally before you can actually claim your money they will show it as returned and take the money back out of your live.com account.

DVD Planet INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING RATES.
I'm trying to confirm the rates for DVDPlanet. I've just put 2 Bluray titles (Caligula and Dewey Cox) and the International Shipping came out to be $12 !!!!! WHAT GIVES ??
Their site says $6.50 + 1.50 per disc - it looks like its treating these 2 titles as 2Disc sets.
can anyone answer what is correct or is DVDPlanet incorrectly adding these up ??
thanks !
EDIT - ECK - Caligula and Dewey are 2 disc sets - I should have checked earlier !!

However, I have to point out that there is seemingly no difference between the B1G1 sales and the %-off sales, as far as how DD handles them. They are BOTH codes entered at checkout. The B1G1 codes carry through as long as you follow particular links on the site--but if you don't follow those links, and you have items in your cart, then you enter the coupon code at checkout--same as you do with the %-off sales.

Anyone need another code? Yesterday I received a postcard announcing the current sale.
New code: DD1108

But probably central time.
Be careful, tho....Last sale, I woke up about 5 in the morning, saw the pre-order thing I wanted was now off pre-order status and was delighted to be able to order it with no price increase. By 10 a.m. the price actually went down 3-4 dollars, and when I wrote them to ask if they could adjust my account I got a big "no" in reply. So don't be in a rush to order in the middle of the night.

Rarely, but sometimes, will prices change during the sale.
What doesn't change is the fact that making the exact same post in more than one thread is really not acceptable.

How does one exactly use Live cashback? This is my first time hearing about this and it really sounds like a good deal. Help please! I looked and clicked at deepdiscount through Live search and...I have no idea what to do next? Do they give the discount after you paid or when you put the items in the shopping cart?

I don't know if I am even going to bother this time, the Criterion Blus with Tshirts are already gone as well.

Does DD usually raise the prices of pre-orders once release day arrives? I'm not sure if I should order Wall-E now from Amazon or wait until Tuesday and order from DD because it would then be the best deal.

ive never looked into CH or any of those clubs but those deals at CH sound awesome. id like to get in on them since im thinking of going blu in a couple weeks but it seems a bit complicated with so many faqs to read and if you ask a question some people are ready to jump down your throat.

If you look through the last few pages of the Columbia House "questions" thread, and the Sale Codes thread, you'll probably get all your questions answered pretty easily.
But yeah, time and money, just like everything in the world. Take some time to learn how to do it, and you can save some money. Don't take the time to do it, don't save the money.

What's the likelihood that Wall E will get a release day price reduction? I'd wait if I thought they might lower it although with the astronomical b&m prices on the 3 disc SE dvd ($29.99 most places) it's liable to be on back order by morning.

I was going to go through Live.com and purchase the remaining titles at DD that come out today, but I can't get to the site. All I get is "Forbidden: You don't have permission to access /cashback on this server." Anyone else experiencing this?
