buy.com $6 DVD sale - almost 200 movies ($4 w. Google checkout)

Like the title says - http://www.buy.com/retail/specialty_...86&dcaid=17686

Combine it with google checkout for $10 of $30 and it should make it 5 movies for $20 or $4 each. Not too shabby

Google checkout thread and details - http://forum.dvdtalk.com/showthread.php?t=479104

Edit: I just noticed jeffrey r had already mentioned it in the google checkout thread - http://forum.dvdtalk.com/showpost.ph...0&postcount=28

Wasn't trying to take credit for it though.

I picked up the following titles for $22.78 (You have to pay tax if you live in TN :
Parent Trap (Special Double Trouble Edition)
Unbreakable (Vista Series-Dts)
Scream (Collector's Series)
Princess of Theives
Insider

If you looking for a movie to add to your cart, I highly recommend the Insider. I rented it recently and it was one of the best movies I've seen in awhile.

Hah! You mean you don't have the usual prices of all these titles memorized?

Seriously, if any of these titles do interest you I'm sure you can do a quick DDD search yourself and get an idea of what they are going for elsewhere. Five Disney/Miramax titles that I checked were $6.94 at DDD, so they would be cheaper during the 20% off sale. Except that if one uses the Google discount at Buy.com, the $4 per disc price would be hard to beat.

I haven't added a CC to my google account yet, but if it takes the $30 down to $20 will it still ship for free or will I need to add another title to get it up to $26?

the $6.94 price at DDD.com is a temporary sale. These will probably be ~$9-$10 each pre-20% discount during the sale.

No problem. Probably deserved its own thread anyway. There are some real decent titles here, but I already own most of the ones I'd be interested in.

Make sure you select the slowest shipping possible. The default shipping isn't free, even for $25+ orders.

I'm having the same problem, and there's no free shipping to select. For some reason none of these titles shows up as eligible for free shipping once they go in my cart (no red truck icon). "Budget Shipping", which is supposed to be free, is $3.70 for 5 titles... I tried doing it from Buy.com's checkout just to be sure it wasn't a Google bug, and it's $3.70 from there as well.

buy.com is a crappy store in general, and I am used to these kinds of games from them.

I will try a few things to see if I can get the free shipping to work.

You have to make sure that you are not logged into your Buy.com account.

I figured it out. It's because an item I wass gettin was "on order", and when I removed it was Ok. Does anyone know when this sale ends?

Any chance this is a temporary issue with the site rather than the $6 titles not allowed with free shipping?

I think double disc sets cost more for shipping. I was about to place an order with the others, village, unbreakable, signs, and the recruit and shipping is $5.70 instead of $3.70. It's starting to kill the deal for me...

EDIT: I confirmed this. It is $1 more for each double disc movie. So if you are ordering 5 movies that have 2 discs in each, shipping will be $8.70. That sucks, especially since shipping was free when the sale first began...
