DD's site is showing the wrong cover art for both Wall-E BD's. Here's what they actually look like:

2-disc: $27.81



3-disc: $27.97



The only difference is the "Digital Copy" in the 3-disc set. Pretty useless.

My total bill for 5 orders is near 1000.00, I am in deep but I am a different type of "DVD" collector than most.

My Blu-ray "Bottle Rocket" with T-shirt order is still open. Have they stopped canceling these pre-orders? OR are they somehow going to substitute the regular Criterion DVD for the Blu-ray one? Something doesn't add up. The regular Criterion DVD is being sold at a higher price than the Blu-ray version.

My First Order

Here's my first order:

1 BBC039682 DVD : TORCHWOOD-2ND SEASON $ 38.92 Backorder
1 BBC042022 DVD : DOCTOR WHO-4TH SERIES $ 48.67 Backorder 1 FXD037711 DVD : OMEN BOX SET, THE $ 19.40 In-stock

Great deal on the Omen set! But Doctor Who has been out of stock for the past 3 days. They have the best deal on it being that the Best Buys around me changed the prices on their steelbook edition.

Yeah, my 2 Criterion BDs with shirt are still "open", too. I presume it's just a matter of time before it's cancelled. That would be OK -- I just don't want the non-BD.

Quick question. A couple dvds I want are not in stock. If I placed an order. Would I still get the discounted sale price even if it is delivered after the sale is over? I know dd is nearly impossible to cancel an order once placed. So I'd want to make sure before hand.

From the The Unofficial DD 25% off FAQ, Fall 2008 edition thread:

Q What about items that are out of stock?
A Yes, out of stock items are included in the sale. As a matter of fact many popular items will go out of stock within the first 3 or 4 days of the sale, and will go on backorder. Even if the item doesn't ship until after the sale ends, you will still be charged the sale price.

Double check your order confirmation. If the item number is BVD058444, they sent you the wrong version. It happens.

Call them on Monday at 1-800-264-5076 and tell them what happened. They will email you a pre-paid mailing label to use to ship it back. Upon receipt, they will ship out the correct version.

I've done this a few times over the years, and it's always gone smoothly. The waiting is no fun, but they make it as easy as possible, and it doesn't cost you anything.

1 LGE023841 DVD : WILL & GRACE-8TH SEASON $ 21.67 In-stock

Thought I was done, but the DVDTalk review of the complete series of I Dream of Jeannie was too tempting.

I got Batman animated series, newsradio series, and x-men trilogy.
I want more TV sets, but I think better sales can be had; and for a few of them i'll hold out for the "series" sets which will inevitably crop up.

I too have my eye on the I dream of Jeannie series set, but the price is a tad too high; dont they have B1G1F sales on those sets ?

Probably they do. The bottle was just too cool. And it was my favorite re-run show as a kid. I'd been tempted to just buy them on iTunes. I think season 2 is $20 on there. So I guess the deluxe looking set is really the main reason I am getting it.
