This is totally awesome. Looks like DDD is going to see more of my money before the end of the sale. It's only too bad I didn't know about this sooner- I got s1 and 2 of Da Ali G because those two seasons with discount were slightly lower than Da Compleet without discount...but now it'll get the discount. Oh well.

A new stargate?
It appears that there will be a new stargate (the movie) dvd coming out this tuesday. From what I have seen and compared to the UE I have, this new one seems very inferior. DTS is way better than THX right? Plus this new one does not appear to have extras. I don't understand why they would release this.

HistoryAvenger,
Thanks so much, the Six Feet Under e-mail helped me a lot!
PS, the ALIAS set has been removed from DDD likely because the set was a limited edition. My guess is that they sold through their pre-order inventory.
I had a HORRIBLE UPS situation yesterday.
They put 2 notices at the front door of my apartment simply with "1B" written on it. So I march down to the post office to pick it up, and low and behold it's meant for my room-mate, who's out of town for the next week (and placed his ORDER after me, not bitter...). They refused to give me the package. I wasn't so much upset about that (because I didn't have a copy of his driver's license, etc, and honestly... they shouldn't give people packages meant for someone else). What made me mad was that nothing was written on the package regarding who it was meant for. This is NYC, a buttload of people have room-mates. I live in a 4 bedroom with 3 other people... How on earth were we to know who it was meant for? Here were the responses I got from the 4 people I spoke to --
"Well, it shouldn't be hard to figure out who it was for... were all four of you expecting packages?" - "Yes." "Well, you should have all come down together."
"They don't have to write the name on the slip."
"You should have called the number to find out who it was for." (I actually went online and scheduled the pick-up at the UPS center, nothing on that page indicated it was meant for my room-mate.)
The worst part of all was when someone said (after I gave them NO information whatsoever, not even the UPS infonotice number) that he would tell the person who does out UPS drop-offs so it doesn't happen again.
"You're going to tell the driver for my street?" "Yes. I'll take care of it. Have a good day." "Um, do you plan to tell every UPS driver in NYC?" "Oh, you must live on either 58 or 57th st." "Nope. I live on 47th." "Oh, you have the wrong department." "They put me through to you." "They made a mistake. Please hold."
That last part happened with 4 different people tossing me around.
In the end I got them to give me the package, but was really annoyed. Again, it wasn't that I wanted them to give me the package. I wanted some proof that they would write the friggin name on the slip next time!

I find people do stupid things just about everywhere. 
When I lived in Illinois I had situations where packages were stuffed into my front porch door when I was home. When I opened to door to the half-crunched package and the UPS guy still standing there he said "I didn't want it sitting on the porch exposed." -- "Why didn't you ring the bell?" -- "I didn't see a car in the driveway."
WTF!!??
But seriously, NY isn't that bad.

Also, when the discs are scratched, it makes it harder to sell, if you choose to, later on.
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.
