Paramount Sale at DDD for 300 Titles at $6.98 (not $6.29) Expires 04/30/07

DDD is having a banner reading sale on over 300 Paramount titles and it says that they are priced at $6.29 . Under that category, DVD's are priced above 9$ for now and don't show up at 6.29$ even when they are added to cart. The deal expires on 4/30/07 so i'm suspecting this sale will start on 04/01/07, once sale on MGM titles ends .

What do you guys think is happening here ?

The ale has not gone into effect yet is all. Give it a day or 2, the banner probably just got sent out too early.

After buying lots of Paramount titles last year during the 2-for-1 sale where most DVDs worked out to about $3.02 each (some of the more expensive ones were still under $5 each), this price of $6.29 doesn't seem like a great deal to me. Not to mention Walmart has had many of these DVDs in Paramount displays for $4.88 + tax.

DDD may no longer have 2-for-1 sales like that, but if you can wait to buy, there is at least a precedent to seeing these Paramount titles for under $5. This is just a word of warning for those few who haven't watched DVD prices for years. I bought a lot of $4.88 + tax Walmart ones only to feel stupid when DDD had them for $3.02.

Most Buena Vista titles have been $5.98 before, MGM titles $4.99, etc. I think at one point or another most DVDs more than 2 years old have been under $5 somewhere.

Unless you happen to be looking for one movie in particular that you don't normally see on sale. Then this price is pretty good.

Dead Zone
Seconds
Track of the Cat
Strange Love of Martha Ivers

if it's 600 DVD's it's more like 60 pages. put me down with being less than happy with the redesign on DDD's site as well. at least for sales with hundreds of titles.

Looks like $6.98 is the price. Count me in for Event Horizon 2-disc.

mnementh, any interest in sharing whatever awk/perl script you're running there so some of us can pick up the slack when you're not around?
