I guess everybody is waking up this morning and finding out about this discount. Can't get to the site now.

Yes, I can't get anything to load. I've given up on placing an order for now. There doesn't seem to be anytime that the site is moving at a reasonable pace, even after midnight. Since noone has posted when this sale will end, I don't know if I even need to rush getting an order in early.

My order finally went through. I had to hit "place order" over and over, when suddenly I got an error screen. I was afraid that maybe I lost the order, too, b/c my basket was then empty...

At the same time, Yahoo crapped out so I couldn't check and see if I got an order confirm.

A couple of minutes later, though, all was resolved as I had, in fact, received a confirmation.

I'm glad I waited a day to snag those Dead Zone sets...

10 items, including 4 sets and a criterion - 158.85 after discount...

A sweet deal!

It goes up and down. Must depend on the volumn of traffic.
I would like to know how they are making money with this. They give a35 % off ususally. I f you add another 20%, that means they are giving at least 55% off. Most wholesalers give about that amount.

Invalid code. :(

*edited* nevermind. :) USATODAY is dead, DVDTALK works

Jonny2k1 06-10-04 09:48 AM

Well if the site ever works for me I might just have to pick up a few things. Too bad I ordered Quantum Leap yesterday, if it is still in stock I will just cancel that order though. I'll probably pick a few more shows and maybe the Scorsese (sp) boxset.

Actually, it would = 52% OFF.

BTW, Did it ever occur to anyone that these codes were not intended to be active and the orders will be cancelled? After all (and correct me if I’m wrong), there was no USA Today ad and no official announcement from DVD Talk.

HIGHLANDER: ENDGAME $ 13.80 1 $ 13.80

That's possible, but one would think that they would catch on to it after getting deluged with orders for the past 12 hours or so.

BradJ 06-10-04 10:05 AM

Took 30 min or so, but just completed an order... woo hoo!

Jonny2k1 06-10-04 10:06 AM

Man this site is getting raped hard. Maybe I am just blind, but is there any way to cancel an order that is in process?

Red Dog 06-10-04 10:07 AM

What is the deal with shipping and preorders? If I chose the $4.95 option, do I just pay $4.95 and they expedite ship every preorder?


I'll ask this again.

Only the first shipment will be expedited shipping. All other shipments will be media mail.

Red Dog 06-10-04 10:11 AM

At this rate, it will take me all day to complete an order.

Thanks for the info, D.

Obey The D 06-10-04 10:12 AM

Crap, I get all the way to checkout, and now the entire site is down :(

ChrisHicks 06-10-04 10:12 AM

the site will not even load anymore for me. I keep getting "no page to display" messages.

bis22 06-10-04 10:13 AM

Hmm, I just tried loading DDD's site at work and right away it's telling me it's not a valid address...

X 06-10-04 10:13 AM

Since someone from here was kind enough to post the coupons at FatWallet you can expect DDD to be swamped.

that would suck but don't you think something would have been said by now?

ChrisHicks 06-10-04 10:17 AM

"cannot find server"

I think if that were the case Deep Discount would have posted something on here by now or not even processed the orders at all. My order was processed so knowing their history I have NO DOUBT they will honor the codes. As I've said many, many times before DDD is hands down the BEST dvd online retailer even without the 20% off codes. I've done over $5,000 worth of business with them in 4 years and have NEVER had a problem with them. Keep up the great work.

TheMadMonk 06-10-04 10:19 AM

I can't get either code to work now.

Obey The D 06-10-04 10:20 AM

Neither Code is working.

ChrisHicks 06-10-04 10:21 AM

I think its dead.

Bosskmr 06-10-04 10:21 AM

Well now neither code works:(

chris_castellani 06-10-04 10:23 AM

I swear it worked the first time, then by the time the slow thing went to process the order, no good. NOOOOOOO. I guess I won't get my Girls of Hooters and GWAR DVDs
