Well, I have some pro's and cons for this sale.
Pro: I placed my order on Saturday and received my order today.
They upgraded my $ 600 order to UPS from USPS
Great deal with the 20% off.
Con:
I'm having to return two dvd's. One I didn't even open because it's rattling around in the box
The other dvd case is broken at the top.

anybody else notice it only says full screen for availability or is that a typo?

2. I'd open it and test it with Nero anyway- sometimes even when the disc is all the way out of the holder it plays just fine. It only takes a couple minutes to scan and that could save you several days waiting for another copy.

I've gotten some dvds through the mail that had broken cases with the disc rattling inside. Its usually when the button that holds the disc has a lot of "finger" like things. If the case gets too much pressure or if it gets bent, those things snap as if they were nothing, leaving your disc to rattle around in the case with the broken plastic pieces. I'd send em back. Even if the disc plays fine, you'll need to replace the case.

I can't find them listed on their site. I don't believe any of them are OOP.

Placed my 3rd and last (hopefully) order last night for a Christmas present for my brother
Lost Season 2
Now, he's living in the UK and has a multi region player. Currently you can purchase it from Amazon.co.uk and Play.com which are usually 2 of the best sites to purchase from.
However, both of the sites (and others) have 'Lost' Season 2 listed at the equivalent of $70-$75, so purchasing it on DDD for a little under $30 along with some other titles is an absolute steal even taking into consideration shipping what he buys to him.
