God Bless America! Capitalism is a wonderful thing, even if some DVD sets I want are up 10%+ over the last 4 months, prior to the 25% sale.
I do not see DD holding a gun to anyones head forcing them to buy, you gotta take the good with the bad.
I see some suuuuuuuuper BR deals over there. My cart is full witgh $600+ right now waiting to submit on the 17th.

New releases will almost always be available cheaper in 6-12 months anyway.

I know the prices at DD are good and I don't gripe at fluctuations in DVD prices. Yes, they do go up and down throughout the year, but I'm still disappointed that DD just raised the price on a good portion of the DVDs I had on my wish list by 25%. If it were a couple of dollars either way, I would have just expected prices to fluctuate, but I'm disappointed with them when I see that the prices have gone up exactly 25% on some items on my wish list before the 25% off sale goes into affect. This is more than a mere coincidence. Best regards to all.

I'm not going through the 11 pages to see if this was pointed out, but regarding prices going up... do you think if an item is in wish lists, they automatically make them higher? Or is it all of the titles going up??
Just a thought. I'm not wish-listing anything, haha.

^ We're only on page 7.
I thought it has been clearly documented/proven that DD prices fluctuate all the time, and that just as many prices drop as go up in the days preceding a sale. Why are people still complaining?

My guess, because theirs went up and they don't care if some other guys went down.

nothing in mine has gone up.
As others have said earlier, I look at the msrp and what my final price will be after the discount, and if it comes out to being a bargain I'm happy with, I'll likely order- if not, I'll just pass. Price fluctuations don't matter. The price I pay when I submit the order does.
And then there are the titles I was planning to get regardless of a sale or not.
That's why I'm happy they pushed this sale back. Many titles I have in my wish list would have missed the sale if they'd had it in the usual time frame this year- so even though I may have lost money by not waiting and ordering stuff back in the 10% off sale in April, I may be getting a chance to make up for that now.

I noticed that the A&E Pride and Prejudice (blu-ray) went up in price to $30. The $20 price was way too good to last.

I think it only makes sense that there be an outpouring of frustration after waiting, what, eight months now? And then after the anxiety over whether there would even be a sale this summer...people gotta vent!
I know for sure they were having a sale on the A&E DVDs; maybe it extended to BDs too?

Betting the DVDTALK code will start a day early like past sales unless DeepDiscount mistakes the actions in this thread of hardcore bargain hunting and enthusiasm for whining and complaining. Guess it depends how ya look at it.
Something completely OT but does anyone else get annoyed by the glass half full/empty debate? I've always taken the realistic view that it is half empty since you're in the process of drinking or emptying the contents of the glass, where as, if you're filling a garbage can with trash it would be half full since you're in the process of filling it. The only time the trash can is empty is when ya switch bags and the only time the glass is full is when ya pour it to the top. To be sure though when faced with this question one should ask if I'm drinking from the glass or pouring liquid into it. I know I'm taking it a bit literal and it's a philosophical question but it's not one I've ever agreed with.
Do you say a theater is half empty or half full? Same thing. It was empty until people started sitting down to watch the movie so now it's half full. The better question would be if the theater was full and half the people left 'cause the movie sucked is it still considered half full since the original purpose was to fill the theater and not empty it (this place is emptying out quick but is still half full), or half empty since it was full and now that people are leaving it has started the process of emptying the theater even though that wasn't the intended purpose at the time (this place was full but is now half empty).

i think they were matching Amazon on that one...because it was $19.99 at amazon first...and I just checked and it still is amazingly enough. so there ya go....it's not like you can expect a better price on a reference quality set that is incredibly popular.

so nothing on the dvdplanet front? if they don't do the same sale i'm going to be very very disappointed. I sent them a bunch of stuff for a lot of credit precisely in anticipation of this sale.

If certain Blus do not go up between now and the sale, there is still a chance I will make some purchases for my personal collection (already plan to pick up the latest two The Waltons sets that are out for my mom). Titles like POTC Trilogy, Pitch Black and Chronicles value pack, Cassablanca, The Middleman, Dollhouse, and Mad Men S2, Dollhouse, X-Men animated Vols. 1 & 2, and T3 might make their way into my cart. If it were not for Netflix, Mistresses S1, Weeds S4, Burn Notice S2, and Breaking Bad S1 would have been on the list.

I have never ordering anything but DVDs from Deep Discount (during their sale or otherwise).
Does this sale also include books, video games, CDs, etc?

How many of you bought a ton of stuff from the last sale and still haven't even watched them yet? I still have 5-6 titles from the last sale in November that I haven't watched yet. If I do pick up a few things, I hope to only get things that I will actually watch and not throw in the closet for the next year or two.

Hopefully the Mad Men prices hold steady -- looking to pick up blu-ray seasons 1 & 2.

Now days I've really cut back on buying movies on dvds. TV on dvd is my weakness, I guess I perceive more value there (which is strange because its just selling me what was free on tv), but most movies a Red Box rental suffices, until the dvd hits $5 or less at Walmart or somewhere.
