I've been wanting the John Adams miniseries - DD currently has it at $26.89, which is a great price, I'll pick it up along with some catalog titles I've been meaning to get.

The front page shows that DD is now sponsoring a drawing for a pair of gift certificates. I must've missed the memo - since when did DD do gift certificates, and where on their site can you buy them?

I noticed that too. A couple of the things will now be still more than the Amazon.com price with the discount of 25%.

I wait for DD's 25% off sales to pick up BBC titles I want. (BBC items always seem overpriced the rest of the time.) This time I think it will be Lovejoy 4 & 5. I'm also gonna pick up a few Star Trek DS9 and Voyager seasons.

There is the whole region-free player thing, though.

1) List what they are.
2) List what the prices were before they "skyrocketed."
3) Confirm that the pre-skyrocketed prices were not atypical prices for those items at DD (in other words, not part of a pre-existing sale and/or price-match or other price reduction--relatively easy to tell, based on the % discount from the "Why Pay..?" price).
4) Order the items from Amazon.
And don't forget your Cashback from Bing (but not with Amazon).

I was planning to order the Star Trek Trilogy on Blue Ray. It is now at $49.54 and about a week ago it was less. Maybe some in the forum remembers the price. Transformers Blu is at $25.85.
After the 25% discount they will be $37.46 and 19.39 respectively while Amazon has them currently at $29.99 and $18.49.

I'm not saying you, but it is interesting the wrath that DD gets sometimes. Many expect them to always have the lowest price and during the sale to be 25% lower then the competitions price. BN and Borders are never even close, but there is good competition between Amazon and DD and this past year I think I have actually bought more from Amazon then DD for the first time. However, even Amazon does not have a sale that includes practically evey title they have. That is what makes this sale unique and for me appreciated.

Amazon is currently running a "Sci-Fi Extravaganza" sale of which the ST Trilogy appears to be a part. No expiration date is given so I'd jump now if this is the price you want.
It pays to keep up with various sales and expiration dates.

First time since the sale has started that I won't be picking up a thing. So many good sales all over the place, I already have everything I want. Everything else is pre-orders.

Please apply discount to preorders released during sale period!
I wish they would allow you to just place a single order, including any preorders that will come out during the sale and apply the discount to all items.
I have stuff that I want for 7/14, 7/21 and 7/28--would be so convenient if I could just order all at once instead of having to remember to go back each tuesday to order the one item.

It has only been a couple of years since they combined their CDs with DVDs in one store. The first year they had the DVD sale after the combo, they put a number of books and CDs on sale but the coupon codes did not work on these items. The codes never worked at deepdiscountcd.com prior to the merger.
