Yeah but this is an extra 5% more than usual so in some situations it might be more beneficial? I agree though, for the most part Free Shipping is king.

Trying to figure out if Amazon's B2G1 Blu Ray sale outweighs this website's Blu Ray deals....I think it's about even, with Amazon shipping free. Plus, I trust Amazon.

Never had any problems with SecondSpin before, and when I did, they probably resolved the issue better than any issue I ever had with Amazon.

Is warehouse.com a good place to buy dvds? Do they come with case/art? And is it in good condition?

I think I worked it out last time one of these came around and depending on sales tax (because I'm pretty sure they tax you on the discounted price not the normal cost) and how many items you order (shipping is flat fee for first item and incremental for each additional item) you have to be spending in the neighborhood of at least $50 for it to be worth it in terms of a deal.
Having said that, by the time it got around to a 20% off + free ship deal a month or so later, the things I was hoping to snag were no longer there, so you may also want to take that into consideration if you find something you think is a good enough deal as is, which is what I should have done.
Short Version: this deal is good for expensive orders, but if you find something that's a good deal as is, free shipping isn't enough cause to not order.

Do the games come complete?

This is a good company.
They sent me a game that wouldn't work, and immediately credited my account for the full amount plus shipping (because they didn't have the game in stock). Of course the game started working about a week later, which made me feel bad.
But it's hit or miss as far as whether you'll get instructions, and several of my games have come in generic cases.
Just don't expect to get perfection.

They usually do. I've never got a game from them missing a case, but I've received some without manuals. Sometimes they'll replace the case with a generic one, but you'll still get the original artwork.

The Wherehouse deal works out much better for used discs. Their used prices are generally $10 less what Amazon has and that's before you take 20% off and the matched free shipping.

Awesome code, thanks OP. I'm really contemplating grabbing Avalon Code and Yoshi's Island. Just debating since shipping for some reason is so high (with just Avalon Code it was $4). Great deal nonetheless. They've got a pretty nice selection of stuff.
And hm, tempted by Sonic and the Secret Rings as well. I know it's $10 at BBV, but I only know of one copy that's a pretty banged up disc with no artwork from long ago. Luckily shipping seems to get quite cheap(er) the more items you add, so I guess the more I spend the more percentage I retain in savings.

Thanks for this by the way. I've been itching to pick up a couple of CDs and this is almost assuredly the way to go for small items.
Not super stoked about having two accounts for what is almost the same exact website, but I'll overlook it since their deals can be quite good.

picked up the last Suikoden V... this place sends out stuff in pretty good condition right?
Thanks for the wherehouse.com tip! I was looking to buy a DVD and the secondspin deal wasn't that great when only buying one disc due to the shipping. The wherehouse coupon saved me almost $3 versus secondspin. Too bad the coupon there isn't good for games, though.
