To make matters worse, when they reshipped it to my work address, they didn't put a delivery name on the packages. And because a lot of items were backordered, it came in four or five boxes. Now, my company has over 2,000 employees in this location, and an entire mailroom. When they get stuff with no name on it, they just open up the box to see who's listed on the billing address. So over the course of several weeks, once a week I'd get an opened up package from DDD with a "sorry" note from the mailroom.
And I *STILL* haven't gotten the copt of "Good Will Hunting" that not only never showed up he first time, but that they claimed to have resent and never showed up the second time. For under $10, I just figured I'd take my loss on that and quit calling and complaining.
(Sorry for the complaining about something that happened several months ago, but the poster mentioning UPS vs. USPS reminded me of this nightmare...)

Hopefully they will fix this so the discount will work.

Does anyone know if the first Robocop movie available at DDD for $9.12 is the version I want to get? I understand there's one that's edited and one that's not. Not sure what this one is.
http://www.deepdiscountdvd.com/dvd.cfm?itemID=MGD000565
Also not sure if I want to just get the first one or go for the trilogy. I remember the second one was OK, but don't remember the third well at all. Having just the first may be A-OK for me.

You sure? I googled up a site saying the unrated director's cut runs 103 mins, which is what the listing at DDD says for Robocop 1. According to the site, the R rated theatrical cut is 102 mins.

Do I get the one movie I want, and spend less, even though it's not the uncut director's cut,...
... or do I spend more, get a second movie I'm lukewarm about and a third that's as good as a blind buy, just to get the uncut version of the first one?
Are the differences significant enough to warrant buying the trilogy set? I've most recently and often seen the original and Robo 2 edited to death on TV runs, so even the unedited R version is going to be a big improvement.

I don't know if this will help you, I'm pretty sure the "edited" Robocop is the US theatrical cut (which had some cuts to get an R rating). The longer version has some extra juicy bits that weren't in the release here. If you look at IMDB they are mostly closeups of wounds, along with one scene that is extended by about a minute.

Pleasantville
I asked this in the first sale thread but it was closed soon after so Im sure no one saw it...anyhow, Pleasantville has apparently been rereleased in a keep case....anyone know if DDD is selling the keep case version yet? The site says keep case, but that doesnt necessarily mean anything.
