Thanks for your input. I am confident now in my choice to get the original release from Geneon.

When is my order charged?

If you pay by Gift Card or PaypalŪ, the money is deducted at the time you place your order. If you pay using Bill Me LaterŪ, your Bill Me Later account will be charged when your order ships. You will receive a statement from and submit your payment to Bill Me Later. If you pay by credit or ATM/debit/check card, the payment amount is authorized and held by your financial institution at the time you place your order and your account is actually charged when your order ships.

I ordered Dawn of the Dead-Ultimate for around $5. They corrected the price back up to around $30. I got my copy for the five bucks. Thanks for the heads-up, WTK.
Like what SBJ said, they should honor it. Take advantage while you can. This pricing error is caused by the incorrect MRSP. While this mis-pricing is good deal, nothing is going to top the Samurai Champloo hiccup years ago...

BB 50% off Round 2:

Pre-ordered Berserk (remastered) and picked up Phoenix box set, Baccano v1, and Darker Than Black v1.

Couple questions... Were the Phoenix singles the same as the ones in the box set (hard cardboard)? Since each one in the box sets seems to have a unique UPC, I'm guessing they were.

Also, I forgot to check when I was ordering Berserk from the kiosk. Does anyone know if Geass Part 3 is available through it? Heck, is everything that's available on BB.com available through the kiosk?

Yes they are the same. Some of the volumes in the boxsets may be slightly warped.

The last time I checked, it's a no. Most of the BEI releases aren't getting stocked in-stores.

Your local store (offering 50% off sale) is stocking new releases?

Yes! They also had FMA Season 2 but I think it was already enroute before the sale started. If you check those titles online, you can choose store pick-up as well.

Interesting. I guess there is some differences in stock/shipment variation from region to region. My local BBs (with 50% off sale) stopped stocking new anime releases after 3/3. It remains to be seen what these 20+ stocking SKUs are...

FYI: Walmart will most likely catch the price error and cancel it as tons of people will jump on it. I have tried to get in on their errors before and they have cancelled every single one.

Well I went ahead and ordered. If they cancel it's no big deal. But if they don't and I miss out... well that is a big deal!

You can't do store pickup for Berserk for some reason.

That's strange. It definitely got changed. I remember it was available for pre-order pick-up for a while. I know only select stores will be stocking this particular release.

Has anyone been able to order Claymore through the BB kiok at 50% off? I am just looking into this series, and would like to get it for $11.00 a disk. Thanks!

Claymore should be 50% off up to vol. 4.

Thanks sandman007. I was reading the reviews, and it seemed pretty interesting. Guess I'm heading back to BB this weekend.

Thanks.
I stopped by there tonight and the BB here also had Berserk out on the shelf, so I picked up a copy. Saved me from waiting on shipping because I was planning to order it through the kiosk.
