Q What is the big deal, anyway?
A For a few years now DD has held a major sale twice a year, usually in June and November. You get a significant discount off the purchase of almost every currently available DVD. With DD's already low prices, this can turn out to be great savings.
Q "significant discount"???
A In all previous sales, it was 20% off. In the fall 2008 sale, the discount is 25% off. It's currently unknown if this is a one-time change or permanent.
Q "Almost every currently available"???
A Yes. Sometimes a company might request that their movies not be included in the sale. I have no idea why they'd do this, but that's what happened in the fall of 2005 when ADV Films (a major distributor of anime, as well as the Farscape DVD series) requested to not be involved in the sale, and in the June 2006 sale Media Blasters (another anime distributor) made a similar request and had their products were completely removed from the Deep Discount site for the duration of the sale, and ADV left their anime titles but pulled their Farscape Starburst editions a couple days in. Some lucky buyers managed to order pulled releases right when the sale started, and others were able to call DD and convince an unknowing customer service rep to take a discounted order for the items. It's quite possible that ADV or Media Blasters will back out of future sales as well, so grab those films up as soon as the sale starts.
Q What about pre-orders?
A Pre-orders do not quallify for the discount. If the item you want is released during the sale, however, you can order it once it's officially released and get the discount.
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.
Q Does this work with other sales that DD is having?
A It has in the past. That of course is no guarantee that it will in the future.
Q What about HD-DVD and Blu-Ray?
A Yes, those are usually included in the sale.
Q What about non DVD item on the DD site?
A Media storage (racks and cases), UMD's and posters have traditionally been part of the sale. Toys and video games have never been a part of the sale. Books and CD's are not part of the sale either, but in the Summer 2007 sale DD lowered the prices on thousands of selected books and CD's by 20%.
Q Any other limitations?
A Yes, you can't order more than 5 of any one title in one order. DD reserves the right to further limit quantities at their discretion.
