They're already complaining over at dvd talk: http://forum.dvdtalk.com/dvd-bargain...1-29-09-a.html



DD's annual revenue is dependent on their 20/25% off sales. If they're not generating enough cash flow, they'll have to do something else ... quickly.

It's disappointing, but it's possible they just can't afford to do a sale of that magnitude this year. Every retailer is attempting to cut back as much as necessary. They don't have the buying power that Amazon has. Thanks for sharing this with us!

It's not too shabby. I can still look forward to getting Star Wars Clone Wars S1 DVD for $26.99 and Sesame Street 40 Years Best Of DVD for $17.97. Both are $2 cheaper than Amazon...

Kerig-also don't forget bing.com cash back

$2!? Are you kidding me? It's worth the $2 to deal with Amazon over DD anyway, especially if you've got Amazon Prime. At least Amazon keeps track of their inventory properly. Half the time at DD, the item page will show In Stock, but it shows Backordered when its added to your cart.

Well this sucks

Huge disappointment

I checked my wishlist that I make in preparation of this sale; if they truly go by 40% off MSRP, some of my items will go UP in price.

I usually bought anime during this sale because they would beat TRSI's prices during studio sales; oh well looks like I have more money to use in BN's Criterion sale

I was looking at some book prices and this sale won't be too bad for books priced under $10, I know Amazon's prices are never discounted for books that are $7.99, actually I don't think they discount books under $10. Anyone know for sure?

Wow -- I was counting on the 25% off to pick up the Kids In The Hall mega set. How disappointing.

Amazon usually beats them with Bluray prices though Amazon has gotten better their DVD sales have usually been better since they don't raise the princes on their B1G1 sales.

My credit card is very happy the 25% off isn't happening but I'm pretty bummed since I had a few things I wanted to check out...

Deep Discount just ruined Christmas.

Funny, I was sort of thinking the same thing as I typed that. I do have Prime ATM, and now for some unknown reason, Amazon dropped Clone Wars S1 down to $27.49

50 cents more to have it in two days instead of 2-3 weeks. DD fails this year, I just really hope they at least go back to 20% off actual price next time.

Well I'm glad I grabbed Battlestar Galactica complete blu during Best Buy's 30% off sale now that I know Deep Discount is scrooging Christmas...

Ruh-Roh.

You can bet the DD.com would be absolutely slammed if they did the usual sale given this economic climate, and likely lose a good amount of money on the bigger box-sets.

yes, im sure those were totally worth waiting for for 5 months....

. I was hoping for some random titles/oddities that usually pick up. Really wanted Trick 'R Treat, Hellboy 2, Batman Dark Knight, and some others (can't remember right now off of memory, but I have them written down somewhere). OH well, I guess more money for these other incredible deals that have been showing up and BF. I guess DD just can't compete with the big wigs (i.e. Amazon, Walmart, etc.) anymore.

Well, I kind of take back what I said. Homicide, Life on the Streets Complete series was $86, now is $60. MSRP $149.95

K-Mart's black friday ad shows that they're having Hellboy 2 at $3.99
