Sin City director's cut..why's the price so high
I had this DVD on my Deep Discount wish list and it was priced at around $25 (which I thought was high). I went to order it today from the website to find out the price went even higher to almost $32. Anyone know why this 2 disc set is priced so high?

Yeah, DDD has been getting a little questionable with their pricing on some of their latest sales.

To the uninformed: There was a pricing file glitch at DDD which was fixed. There is nothing shady at all going on at DDD. For every thing that has increased in price, I can site one that has dropped. If you need to bitch about the site, there is a thread in the store forums.
This edition is expensive because it is the "deluxe" set. At least we knew it was coming though.

It's $40 MSRP and includes a $17 graphic novel. (I'm under the impression that the "Sin City" graphic novel is the exact same one put out from Dark Horse.)
Kind of blows for those of us who already have the graphic novel. (And in the older, larger edition, no less!)
I'll probably end up giving the new graphic novel to someone for Christmas.

Why are so many people everyone so defensive of DDD and their prices? Its not like anyone here owes them anything. I've bought quite a few dvds from them (and will do so int he future) but sometimes i am a little skeptical about things that I see. We do pay them money for their products and I feel that I do have the right to bitch now and then.

I have never taken advantage of this sale before. I may order two dvds and that is all(and they're not for me,they're for my mom for Xmas).
But on another forum I use. Someone said they spent $900 on dvds durring the last sale. And they still haven't opened or watched the majority of them! And yet they are going to order more from this sale!
That is a huge waste in my honest opinion,no matter how much money you have to blow

My wife wasn't amused last time, so I had to cut back.

I find it funny that you never stop to ask, Wait why am I on this forum?

In short: duh.
And, you're right, being on this forum has nothing to do with what you consider to be "crappy" movies; we all have our own opinions. We also all have our own opinions on what makes a DVD worth purchasing, including how many times we plan on watching it. Talking down to someone for having a different opinion than you on any of those topics is more or less...
duh.
As a baseline, anyone who posts here has an interest in DVDs. Making fun of anyone for any of the things either you or PopcornTreeCt note boils down to making fun of someone for liking DVDs "too much". There should be no such thing on this forum, at least not in a pejorative way.

I am new to this forum but I am not new to DVD collecting. DVD collector's are like every other collector. Some collect everything they can get there hands on while others have their own guidelines. Some have no budget while others have no need to worry about a budget. Now I have never spent more than $80 at a time on DVD's but that has no baring on any collector except me. There are a lot of movies that I like but will not buy. I only buy Wes Anderson, Tim Burton, Stanley Kubrick, super heroes, The Simpsons, and extreme horror movies with an occasional obscure title I pick up here and there. I also update these as new editions come out. With all the new DVD's coming out I only have 3 on my want list and one of those is old.
#1 American Psycho Killer Collector's Edition (my favorite movie ever made)
#2 The Simpsons The Complete 6th Season
#3 Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (Tim Burton)
