OK, this is getting annoying now, but I don't mind waiting, really. I am a patient guy. No need to send them an email complaining about something they can't help. They say they will get it to me, so they will.

Somehow, I managed to not see this until today when I was wondering when they were going to ship my DVD.

THIS IS TOTAL CRAP.

The end.

I had a similar issue with DDD a few years back. Instead of waiting, i just went to best buy and picked it up and then canceled the order. Think that was the last time i bought something from DDD.

DDD is okay if they have disk in stock. For preorders and backorders they're a steaming pile of crap and not worth bothering with.

Glad I'm not the only one.

I just find it funny that Amazon has the thing in stock still... Limited edition and all... and DDD can't even get a copy to sell. It's funny.

yeah the prices on DDD have been sucking as of late. you can find them cheaper on Amazon or one of the side sellers on amazon.
I once had an item not be in stock on DDD.com but turns up on the DDD amazon merchant page, and cheaper as well.

One good thing you can do it get the amazon prime for a year and split it up with 4 other friends.

comes out to be just under 20 bucks a person and you get free 2 day shipping all year, it pays for itself almost right away.
