I placed quite a few of these orders with google checkout tonight and had one declined. Anyone else have that problem? It was at bestprices.com. Every order I have done since then has worked fine but I had to cancel the declined one because it just won't go through. They wanted me to add another card, which I'm not doing.

I noticed that the Digital Video Essentials HD DVD pre-order is $18.99 at BestPrices.com. If you pair it with another HD DVD you can use the 
Checkout $10 off a $30 order, in effect $5 off each. I find that shipping for two HD DVDs seems to be $5.96 using Google checkout (although it is only $4.24 using the regular checkout). So, buying two copies of DVE would cost $33.94, or $16.97 each. That's the best price I have seen thus far.
For reference, the prices elsewhere are:
DVD Empire $24.47 plus shipping (free shipping on three titles).
CD Universe $21.89 plus $3.99 shipping for two titles.
Buy.com $23.94, free shipping on orders over $25; pre-orders might not qualify for Google checkout.
Amazon $23.95, free shipping on orders over $25; 10% off deal would reduce the price to $21.56.
DDD $23.95, free shipping. During the 20% off sale that might be $19.16, if the price remains the same after release day (11/14/06).

DVDplanet shipped my 12 monkeys, The Thing and Out of Sight yesterday.
I may have done the slow shipping that was free, but I dont remember. They seem to be more reliable than amazon on shipping.

DDD has Superman the Movie posted, as well as Superman II, both at $20.13. No "Returns" yet, though.
It is unfortunate that the 20% off sale will likely have ended by the 11/28 release date.

I believe I have seen reports in this forum that Costco sells HD DVD players. Does anyone know if they sell HD DVDs and, if so, at what sort of prices?

I have not yet seen any HD-DVDs at the three Costcos near me. Their online site lists 6 HD-DVDs for sale from $20 to $24 in price, which are not really bargains after adding shipping and tax.
