I think that's before shipping. The usual cost of BDs at Columbia House is 75% of the MSRP. Shipping is $2.99 for the first BD and $1.99 for each additional BD in the order. (Sets with three or more discs usually have higher shipping charges.)
So, if one was to buy four $29.95 MSRP titles, the cost would be:
$22.46 + (free BD) + $22.46 + (free BD) + $8.96 shipping = $53.88 (four BDs)
Average cost of each BD = $13.47.
This cost would be higher for higher MSRP BDs, of course. And it would be MUCH lower if the account was unfulfilled and one is factoring in fulfillment credit.
For more information on how Columbia House works, please visit the Clubs forum. For a list of BDs available from Columbia House, please check the http://forum.dvdtalk.com/dvd-clubs/5...bia-house.html thread.

It seems that they once again disabled the code input for this sale. I guess unless they overlap the two without the need for a code input then you will have to pay shipping. It is still a good deal but I'm going to wait and see what happens or if they enable codes to be put in before the weekend passes.

Now if only I can find a free shipping code to avoid paying shipping on the 14 BDs in my cart.

I'm able to enter a promo code in my shopping cart. Is that what you're talking about, or is there a different code input somewhere? I'm fairly new to CH (this is only my 2nd order).
Now if only I can find a free shipping code to avoid paying shipping on the 14 BDs in my cart.

Thanks, I was confused at how he got such a low price per disc when there is no free shipping.

I won't post details on how to optimize your Sony Rewards account (I've done it before), but for those of you who have a Sony card, use Sony Rewards, and have activated the Wheel Watchers discount, Glory is only $15.46 (1,546 pts). Add the blu-ray to your cart, go to checkout, and in the promo code box, enter glory. Just some words of warning: the item comes quickly once it ships, but it can take 2-4 weeks before the item actually ships.

You are quite welcome! And you got it today?! Hopefully I get mine, too. My points have already cleared out of the holding stage, so it might have shipped already. This would be a very different experience than what I've seen in the past. Casino Royale took over month month to ship plus a week to deliver; Pineapple Express took 3 weeks to ship and ~3 days to deliver; Groundhog Day took 2-3 weeks to ship and ~3 days to deliver.

"Here is the info. on the Sony coupons:
* Save $3 on Paul Blart: Mall Cop on DVD or Blu-Ray
* Save $3 on Fireproof or Not Easily Broken on DVD or Blu-Ray
* Save $3 on the International on DVD or Blu-Ray
* Save $3 on Open Season 2 on DVD or Blu-Ray
* Save $3 on one of the following on DVD or Blu-Ray - Bad Boys, Ghost Rider, Black Hawk Down, XXX: State of the Union, Rocky Balboa (Bad Boys is not available on blu-ray)
* Save $5 on the Da Vinci Code on DVD or Blu-Ray
* Save $3 on Underworld - Rise of the Lycans on DVD or Blu-Ray
* Save $10 on the Underworld Trilogy on DVD or Blu-Ray
* Save $5 on Ghostbusters or Dr. Strangelove on Blu-Ray
I tried SONYPIC3 at Amazon for $3.00 off The International Blu-ray and it worked. Looks like if you use SONYPIC and then enter the dollar amount after the C for the discount as above it will work on Amazon. I tried SONYPIC5 on Da Vinci Code for $5.00 with success as well. As sensui posted the SONYPIC5 also worked on Ghostbusters. On Amazon you have to put the code in when you order, you can't apply it to an order you've already placed."

SONYPIC5 worked on Dr. Strangelove as well. $17.49...not bad! Wonder what other Sony titles it will work on...

great price at Amazon for Ghostbusters, but I know that Fry's will eventually have it for $9.99 like they do for pretty much all Sony catalog titles on a monthly basis.

Grabbed Ghostbusters for free after the coupon and a gift certificate. Already ordered Dr. Strangelove from Columbia House as part of their BOGO.

The SONYPIC5 code will stack with the GHOSTBLU code, giving you two $5 discounts off of the Ghostbusters Blu-ray at Amazon, making it only $9.99! Even CH with a BOGO + FS can't beat that one....

Also, if you wanted to add Dr. Strangelove to the Ghostbusters order, the SONYPIC5 code will take $5 off both Ghostbusters & Dr. Strangelove (not just one), so, couple that with the GHOSTBLU and you can get a $15 savings!
