So how is one to know what is a pricing error and what is a sale at DDD? Because when orders get cancelled we always have defenders of that sight saying we shouldn't have expected them to honor a mistake.

When DD has sales, they have large banners on their front page telling you about it. IF they were purposely doing some crazy discount on Blu-rays, they would have said so. This was pretty clearly a mistake on their part, but if they completed the transactions, they ought to fulfill the orders instead of cancelling them after the fact.

If their system is somewhat computerized, a person would think these types errors would be alerted to DD within a short period of time (a few hours after the pricing event happens isn't unreasonable if somebody is supposed to be responsible for the inventory overall). For example, if Gladiator only gets an average of X orders per year, but one day Gladiator gets the same number of X orders in one DAY, somebody at orders dept should be alerted. Not to mention, having an alert to the "price changer" if a Blu-ray is below $5 to check the price again. Hell, an employee at DD could change a price and have his buddies order a shitload of titles if there wasn't some kind of inventory check over there. Which makes me think these price mistakes are kind of not mistakes.
But anyway, I'm not going to bitch if the title doesn't ship.

My order still says open but the pending charge has disappeared from my bank account. I've still not received a cancellation notice though. I ordered the Band of Brothers which they admitted was a mistake and it was cancelled faster than this so I guess its still up in the air.
I ordered each of The Godfather movies and one Gladiator.

Crap, just realized my shipping information shows my old address, even though I don't believe the order shipped yet (went through Google checkout). Tried to contact DD...but it looks like the site's down.

I ordered 2 Forrest Gump and 1 Gladiator... They told me Gladiator is in out of stock, will be shipped when is available. Forrest Gump will be shipped. They charged me for all three movies. 3 days, I received both Forrest Gump but no Gladiator. Still, waiting for Gladiator.

Was starting to worry but my Gladiator, Godfather, & Godfather 2 finally shipped... Already had Gladiator but I picked it up for a friend and .the 2 Godfathers were blind buys.

Wow. Me too! Gladiator shipped!
I usually always miss out on deals, glad I got this one for less than four bucks!

Mine supposedly shipped also. Really only wanted G1&G2 but also ordered Gladiator because it bumped me to free shipping and cost about the same as not ordering it and paying for shipping.

Had to cancel the order....my shipping address was incorrect, and they couldn't change it for whatever reason. If anyone gets an extra copy of Gladiator (or Forrest Gump, to a lesser extent) that they'd be willing to sell, shoot me an e-mail.
