Thanks for the heads up. They didn't have them when I checked a few days ago. $65 for all three is a definite buy.
How much do the movies cost through this? I was thinking about signing up if I could get Mononoke and Kiki's Delivery Service.
Usually titles are in the $30 range, but there's always a special (40-60% off, or the holy grail, buy 2 get 1 free), so you can get them much cheaper. The best deal is joining the club, you get 7 movies (excludes 3-D, multipacks, and TV series) for around $22, with a commitment to buy 2 more at regular price (B2 G1 counts as 2 commitments, as long as the 2 paid aren't additionally on sale). However, it can take up to 90 days for a title to become eligible for enrollment after its official release, so these films won't be available for that offer until mid Feb., but you'll save a ton if you wait. I'm going to.
I joined yesterday but I don't know if I can wait for those two to hit enrollment status. Are the enrollment titles just the ones you can get for potentially $1 or are they movies that count toward the 3 you have to get at MSRP?
Is there a time period for a released Disney movie to become a commitment title? Is it just the standard release date?
Any movie that's $29.99 or above AND is not on sale (unless it specifically says it counts, such as Featured Titles) counts as a commitment, regardless of release date. Enrollment titles (the ones you get 7 for $22) vary, ranging from on or close to the release date (such as Mary Poppins and Saving Mr. Banks) to as many as 90 days after release (mainly for Diamond Editions and other big, popular titles).
just completed this great deal, now I have a bunch of disney movies in my itunes and google accounts.
It looks like Vudu will be added 12/9 (or before) with the release of Guardians of the Galaxy
If want a lot of stuff that will never be eligible for enrollment AND there aren't any eligible titles out or coming soon that you want, thats when you want VIP.
Newer (less than 90 days) releases, BDs with digital copies that also have versions without (the without version should work), TV shows, multipacks, and occasional oddities that are ineligible for no reason whatsoever (like Castle in the sky). Sone have had luck getting these through anyway, so you could try, though they're strcter on it now.
Tell me about it - I spend at least a hundred or two more than this club would have cost me. As far as the time frame for eligibility, 90 days has, thus far, been the maximum, and those are usually the big titles, like Diamond Editions. Lesser titles might not take that long, and really unpopular titles, like The Lone Ranger and Saving Mr. Banks become eligible almost immediately. I'm not sure where they rank Ghibli films in this hierarchy, but it's HIGHLY doubtful they'll be eligible in time for Christmas, but I could be mistaken.
[/quote]You can't. Disney must have fixed their site, as right now they're members only and not eligible for enrollments, though calling in person will sometimes allow you access to movies you can't get online.
The longer the better, 48-72 hours is what most report. Ideally, if you wait until you get an official notification of cancellation, you shouldn't have any trouble.
Oops I apologize I had placed order via phone.
Luck - I've made two runs and not had much of it either, except for Castle in the Sky (which is ineligible for no reason whatsoever). It apparently used to be easy, but they've begun cracking down on 3-Ds, TV seasons, multipacks, and new releases, yet there are still people who manage to get them through. I don't bother anymore - I use 3-D and TV shows to fulfill my commitments.
I actually only need one more to fulfill my commitment, so that would be perfect. I didn't even know that would count in all honesty, so thanks for the heads up on that! I'm just basically trying to complete my Studio Ghibli collection!
If you planning on re-enroll after you complete your commitments, then 50% is not that good. Can't beat the enrollment price. But if you don't think you'll re-enroll again and continue your membership, then 50% is quiet nice. Beats retail store prices.
Depends if there's 6 or 7 sign up titles you are interested in. I usually cancel as soon as my commitment I met though.Bumping to keep the peace in the DMR thread. I'm so nice
I completed my commitment about a half a year ago but I've yet to cancel. I keep waiting for this VIP status to be worth it. Maybe I should cancel it now...
