Me too. Once I combined the discount link with my refound voucher code for one order that was cancelled within a day.
I had to order it again and it cost some money because the way they refound to my credit card was considered as a "purchase" by my CC (ya, strange)
That's the problem. It did go through and then they emailed me about the cancellation because I used both at the same time. Jeez. I was using my own refund money, not another discount voucher. Still, this cannot be allowed.
Anyway, from this one-time experience, I don't want to take the chance again. Except this People dicount.

Is Dragon Squad worth a blind buy? I can get it for 7.95 shipped from CDwow. I've read conflicting reviews of it. Has anyone here actually watched it? I did a search and came up with nothing. Thanks.

Has anyone else who pre-ordered the just released Masters of Cinema: Assassination had their order cancelled? I received a cancellation e-mail this morning for the following reason:
We are writing to inform you that we have exhausted all stock of Masters Of Cinema: Assassination Region 2 and will not be receiving any further stock of this title for the foreseeable future.
And.......to make matters worse, while it no longer appears for sale on the UK site, it is still listed for sale on the US/Germany and HK sites (among others).
As great as CD-WOW usually is, counting the above and my long-delayed "The Frighteners" (I don't have that big a problem with the delay but at least tell me when I can expect to receive it), I am a little down now on their service.

I received my War of The Worlds (2005) R3 SE from CD Wow and it did not have the slipcover and mini flashlight that DVDCompare.net lists. In fact, CD Wow did not even provide the slipcover for Collateral (2004) R3 SE that should have been on it, when I ordered it a few months ago. While its not a big deal about the slip cover, I would have liked the flashlight that was supposed to be with War of the Worlds.
That coupled with somewhat slow processing & delivery times makes me more hesistant to purchase from them in the future. I may just pay a little more and go through other e-tailers.

I wish they'd get the rest of Russ Meyer's R2 offerings. I've emailed to ask them and gotten no response. 
I see that "Fistful of Dynamite" is $9.95 for two discs.
Special Features:
Fully restored picture and sound
Audio commentary by Sir Christopher Frayling
The Myth Of Revolution: Sir Christopher Frayling on Sergio Leone
Duck You Sucka: co-writer Sergio Donati remembers the film
Sorting Out The Versions: a featurette which includes shortened versions, the long flashback sequence and UA's decision to rename the film
Once Upon A Time In Italy: behind the scenes putting together the exhibit on Leone at The Autry Exhibition
Location Comparisons : intercutting film clips with current footage of locations set to music
Restoration Italian Style: John Kirk on restoring the original Italian version Radio spots
Photo gallery
Original theatrical trailer
