$41.85 x .8 = $33.48
Not bad for the set compared to Best Buy, etc., but I held off, in order to check eBay prices. I finally ordered last night at 7pm. The price had fallen:
$37.20 x .8 = $29.76
"Too bad for the poor chumps who ordered this set when the sale started," I thought.
Two *hours* later, I was looking for something else at DDD when I scanned back across the MS3 listing. New price:
$23.56 x .8 = $18.84
Argh. I am the chump.
I called DDD customer service [800-264-5076] and endured their nigh-interminable hold. Eventually, after putting me back on hold three times, they refunded the difference in the sale prices ($10.92), which was cool of them. They didn't refund the difference in tax ($0.74). That was mildly annoying, but definitely not enough to wait another 45 minutes to fix.

DDD's customer service was friendly, American, and took care of me in under 5 minutes. If only every online retailer was this easy to get a hold of.
My main gripe with DDD is that I simply cannot browse their site or see what I want. Otherwise, I'd buy stuff a lot more often.

My third order:
STANDING IN THE SHADOWS OF MOTOWN $ 4.79 1 $ 4.79
BEN HUR (4D/COLLECTOR'S ED WITH BOOK) $ 20.91 1 $ 20.91
ISLAND AT WAR $ 31.20 1 $ 31.20
Total: $56.90
I'm pretty psyched about Island at War as it receives rave reviews. It's a miniseries about the German occupation of the British Channel Islands during WWII. I think it's similar to the Enemy at the Door miniseries (which I have on order from Amazon).

Those of you who dig Stop Making Sense might enjoy the concert film Jonathan Demme did of a performance by Robyn Hitchcock. DDD has "Storefront Hitchcock" for less than five bucks with the discount. The film is a perfect introduction to a fascinating songwriter and musician, and even if you don't love it, hey, five bucks.

if you can find a scan at an early peek of black Friday circulars, I think Best Buy has both seasons for 14.99. Just decided to pick them up here since I dont want my arm broken that day.

But if you are getting both seasons of AD, then Amazon is the best place at the moment since they take $10 off if you get S1 and 2 (also no sales tax or shipping and 1.57% A9 discount) for a total of $15.72 each, Even at $14.99 each, they would end up being $16.09 on BF at BB if you could find any, although if you want to increase your reward zone points, that's a different consideration. (As is the consideration of the 3 reward points per dollar that Amazon VISA card users would figure into their purchase equation.)

I dont see the sense of buying all of this stuff especially with Black Friday coming. I went to Black Friday last year at around 8 am, no lines, got everything on my list. These DDD sales dont really save you much and people are thanking them like DDD is giving away them for free. LOL. I almost pulled the trigger on the AD season sets and then I saw that they will be 14.99.

I was going to place a second order, but I am not sure now. I might try to cancel the first one and put everything on the second one (I was waiting for some releases on Tuesday).

Honestly, I'd rather eat a bullet than go shopping on Black Friday... And I've seen the ads for this year, there's NOTHING on sale that I - personally - could give two shits about. I only ordered a few items from DDD this time around and for what I buy there's no way that I could find those titles as cheap locally. I'd be hard pressed to even find those discs in stock at a local retailer.
My first order arrived on Tuesday morning, placed on day one of the sale.
