For such a damn amazing price, perhaps I'll try getting the Path to Power DVD from Overstock.com. I already have a copy from one of the retailers at Amazon, but they screwed up and sent me the edited version instead of the uncut DVD I ordered.

Thanks, Tanooki Kuribo!

I've mentioned Overstock.com in a lot of threads as being the cheapest place for Dragon Ball DVDs but nobody has paid attention until now. I'm glad though that other people have discovered the site because they really do give great service. I've bought just about every Dragon Ball DVD I own from them :D .

Nice!

Another good place:

I tried not to put places like Ebay or Half.com on that list just because your don't know if your getting an official DVD or an import or if it's used...well I guess It'll tell you if it's used but...I just wanted official store's. But yea, it's a good place to get cheap stuff. Thanks.

Yeah, that's the downside, plus shipping for each item if it's not from the same vendor.

I don't know about deepdiscountdvd.com. I know it's not from vendors, you buy from the actual site, I'm not sure if they're used or new. But I thought it was a pretty good price for Dragonball DVDs (not Z), $23.98 is some of the cheaper prices I've seen. Amazon is selling them for $35. :shock:

I ordered the Evangelion Perfect Collection from DeepDiscountDVD and it was brand new, plastic wrapping and all (Including that odd sticker.). Got it for $100 where as Best Buy wanted it for $200.

Thanks for telling me about the DB dvds though, I'll have to order some of the sets for the Holidays!

You kind of wasted your money with the Eva, since the platinum boxset is out soon, isn't it?
Where's the beef?

I ordered the set about two and a half years ago. :P

They used to have the Platinum collection pre-order on there for $80 but then, besides Death and Rebirth, they removed all of their Evangelion DVDs. Odd.

Great guide, Tanooki Kuribo. I'd buy some of this stuff, but my dad won't let me use his credit card. Oh well. (Off topic.) Wow, I just bought that Evangelion Platinum Complete set for about $50 with tax today at Wal Mart.... It's a really cool set. :)

Wow. Great bargain hunting, man. I love Overstock.com, I've bought many DBZ dvds from there. :D

Overstock appearantly refuses to ship DVDs internationally. Anyone happen to know of another cheap online store selling the DB movie boxset?

Uhm...if you live in the Dekalb, Illinois area:

Some dollar store (Dollar General...?) is selling uncut DBZ dub VHS tapes for $1 a piece. Scored nine videos including DB movie 2. Most of them were Great Saiyaman episodes though.

Most any time I buy DVDs online, it's always with DeepDiscountDVD. With their free shipping (with any amount of purchase) they'll always be cheaper than anywhere online or B&M in most instances.

And take it from me, I own around 800 DVDs.
