OOOPS! You're right. My notes of the BSG release date were wrong and I missed the fine print on DDD's page. Let me DELETE my post so as not to confuse people. Sorry.
That would explain why there weren't a bunch of posts of other people ordering it. I thought maybe everyone else was sleeping. However, after reading on The Digital Bits about the missing content (The Plan, the 10 webisodes, and various extras from the previous sets) I think I'll pass even at $164.92 if the current price holds next week. I'll wait for the BSG Ultimate set (or maybe they'll call it "Truly Complete This Time... Really") hopefully in a year or so.

Battlestar Galatica Complete Series Blu-Ray is still $219.89 and today is release day, so I believe people should be able to order it for $164.92. That said, I just read the only review I could find about it on The Digital Bits. It's $165 for a 20 Blu-Ray ($8.25 per disc) set which is missing the Face the Enemy webisodes, several extras from the previous set and a Best Buy bonus disc, and The Plan. Plus I dislike the packaging which won't fit on my shelf. Instead of ordering it this morning (before the price jumps up) I think I've decided I'm going to wait until it's a lot cheaper (maybe $125... sure that could take a year or two) or until I can get a truly complete set for about the same price. I've got so many other TV series to watch (partly Big Lots fault) and considering the economy, spending $165 on a not-quite-complete set doesn't feel right now. Besides, by the time I got this set for $125 or the not-yet-released-set, I can start over from S1 because I will have forgotten enough (having only watched S1 in January).
Hopefully the next Battlestar Galactica Complete set will in fact be complete. Will they call it the Really Complete or the Ultimate Complete set?

I'm quite satisfied to get it for $186 from DVD Planet (but then, I had store credit to make use of- if I was paying out of pocket for it, I'd probably wait to see what DD does next Tuesday)
For me, all the extra content is just frosting I'll scrape off and not eat anyway. There is more stuff on this set than I'll ever make use of as it is.

Maybe it's already in one of the first 27 pages... but why is Lost S1 and S2 on BD not available??? Is it because $49 is already the bottom line price? That's f'ing weasley if you ask me.

Got my first order today as well. I was relatively surprised since the last order I had with them last month took about a week to ship and two more weeks to get here.
My other order is OOS so I suspect it'll be a while.
Still debating the Bourne Trilogy. $55 or so is the cheapest I've seen it, but I need to play it a bit tighter than I have been.

For those that ordered and have received titles with slipcovers, how is the condition of the slipcovers?

Got two of three in-stock orders yesterday (and picked up today). Ordering more but smaller orders seems to be paying off. So glad they have multiple coupon codes!
Might place one more small order by the weekend, but I'll really be waiting for next week's releases like most everyone else.
I'm a little concerned because I'm almost 100% positive that BSG complete will go OOS within a short period of time after it goes "live" for the sale. And while you can still order OOS items, I just want to be assured that DD doesn't "discontinue" this particular item before fulfilling my order. I'd order it from Dvdplanet, but the price is higher and I don't have any credit there.

I was was planning on getting the Crouching Tiger/Flying Daggers etc. Blu-Ray during this sale, but holy crap is the price high at Deep Discount! $61.60 when it's $39.99 at Amazon.

All I ordered was Pirates ot Caribbean trilogy 1st day. I got it today and all slipcovers are perfect.
Just waiting for BSG next week.
I thought about the new 300 but I already have the HD-dvd so I can wait a few years..

No.
But during every 20/25% off sale since they started selling books and CDs, they have dropped the price on many books for the duration of the sale. (Though, looking through a handful of titles, it doesn't like they're doing that this time.)

Does anyone know approximately what time the switch is flipped on release day to go from "Pre-Order" to "In stock"?
