The Least Popular DVD Game™
 
Object: Find the least popular DVD at Amazon, using their "Amazon.com Sales Rank" data.

Rules:
  • The DVD must be sold by Amazon.com. DVDs sold by foreign Amazons, zShops or sellers do not count.
  • The DVD must be in stock and ready to ship within 5 business days or less.
  • The DVD must have an Amazon-provided cover image. If it says "No Image Available", it is disqualified. User images don't count.
  • The DVD can be any edition or version as long as it fits the rules above.
  • The DVD can be OOP. As long as Amazon.com happens to stock it, good for you.
  • You can post a different version of a movie (CE vs. LE, 2-disc vs. 1-disc, FS vs. WS). You cannot do a duplicate pick by repostong the same version of a movie.

Scoring/Winning
  • Since sales data changes often, we'll take your word for the rank. Ranks should stay similar long enough for someone to corroborate it.
  • Your "score" is the summation of the rank of two picks you've made. You can always make later picks to raise your score if you find a lower sales rank.
  • Post the DVD title, the Amazon URL, and the sales rank.

Tips for the Lazy!
  • After searching, list by best selling. You'll then see the URL switch to something like this: .../exec/obidos/search-handle-url...?page=1...
  • That page=1 is the key. To get to the last page, dvide the results by 10 and add it to the page. If there were 323 results, switch it to page=33. If there were 15238 results, switch it to page=1524.

The Prize: Honor, fame, and adulation.

Enjoy!

One of the rules is that it has to have an Amazon image... so this one doesn't count.
