DDD 20% off sale is on - you can now spend all your money (IT ENDS 11/23!) (PART 3)

Since we're on part 3 of the DDD sale, I wanted to repost my question:
I'd appreciate the advice
I just bought The Hills Have Eyes (old) at Circuit City for $4.99. I noticed that the 2-disc SE will only be less than $5 more. Is the extra material worth it? This one just has the commentary and, from what I can tell, the same technical specs (DTS track, etc).

When I was reading through the part 2 thread, I thought someone posted that the Golden Collection would be $27.99 at Circuit City next week. Actually it's Volumes 1-3 that are $27.99.
Wheee.

Anyone else having problems in the secure section or is it just my crappy computer? I can get into the site but when I tried ordering The Green Mile, I got to the "Place Order" phase, clicked the button and it just sat there for 5-minutes "Waiting" to connect to the next page... Nothing happened. I didn't want to click that button again since they might then send me two copies. I then tried going into my Order Status page and that wouldn't load either.
Like I said, it could just be my computer but I wanted to see if anyone else is having problems.

Their site seems on the verge of complete failure. I would imagine that they're trying to keep things patched together until after the sale, when they can afford to go offline for a day or two.

Well, it seems to be working now, but I think I'll wait to reorder until late tomorrow just to make sure the Green Mile one didn't go through. I like DDD but it seems like a pain in the ass to cancel something in time before it's being "processed" (based on posts, haven't had to do it yet).

Thank you, hellboy666, for asking the question on my mind, and to historyavenger and John Galt for answering it!
As for me, I tend to use this sale to catch up on TV box sets and/or pick up a few gifts - both of which, I did. However, I also took the plunge and picked up a few "cheapies-made-cheaper," just for kicks. YAY!
I was disappointed there aren't any complete seasons of Little House on the Prairie, this time around. A handful of those purchased at the last DDD sale gave me brownie points with the girlfriend whenever I needed them!
ORDER #1:
SIMPSONS-8TH SEASON - $ 23.36
KIDS IN THE HALL-4TH SEASON - $ 28.77
LITTLE MERMAID (SPECIAL EDITION) - $ 12.96 (for the girlfriend)
THE NAKED GUN SET - $ 12.76 (for my father)
NOTHING BUT A MAN - $ 12.93
TOTAL: $90.78
ORDER #2:
ROSEANNE-HALLOWEEN SPECIAL - $7.19 (for my mother)
ELECTION - $6.27
THE UNTOUCHABLES - $6.27
CRIMSON TIDE (UR) - $11.13
THE INSIDER - $7.55
DEFENDING YOUR LIFE - $7.18
MOTHER - $4.82
TOTAL: $50.41
GRAND TOTAL: $141.19
My total spent on gifts? A measely $32.91. I am a greedy, self-indulgent jerk.

I have this problem when using Explorer 5.2 for Macintosh. In my case, the order has always gone through, so you may want to wait a bit before reordering. When I use the Safari browser, the hang-up doesn't happen.
My copy Old Boy is still "In Process" and I didn't receive a confirmation e-mail either... I guess it'll ship soon (hopefully). I ordered mine around 12:40 am EST.
