At FamilyVideo.com.
I know some people have been unhappy with some of their past experiences with this site *cough* JttCotE3D *cough* but I've never had any issues with them and if you like this movie it might be too good to pass up.

What a perfect time to use the $5 coupon that they gave me when they canceled my order for Journey to the Center of the Earth. Hopefully if they cancel this one they'll give us a $10 coupon or something.

Either way, thanks for posting!

wow, that's a great price for a cool flick like that. I have never ordered from them, are they reliable?

[Jaws17]

You know they screwed this one up too, I smell cancelation.

Hurry so you can get another $5.00!

Don't get too excited. I discovered this about a week ago, and they canceled the order yesterday with the standard email about how they are out of stock.

I got an order in at $7.99 so we'll see what happens. The worst they will do is cancel it.

there is something up with this company they make these priceing mistakes a little to frequently for this to be human error. i definately suspect they purposely post an inaccurate price get a bunch of people to pre order it(since they bill the card upon the time of purchase) and then latter on just go ahead cancel 95 percent of the orders (honoring just enought to avoid suspison) feigning human error. and then take another 3 or 4 weeks to process your refund back.

cavet empore, buyer beware.
worse they can do is cancel the order,how about cancel the order and take a month to refund your credit card.

yes, i strongly suggest avoiding this website. the lot of you can actually file a complaint with the better business bureau since there is an e-mail and financial trail with several of these "mis-priced" titles.

I smell a rat and it looks like a big one......

[JediFonger]

but if they give u a coupon anyways... i think people used the coupons last time for journey to center and it still worked out to be fairly cheap no?

Not only do they illegally (at least in the US) charge your credit card before shipping (and take weeks to process the refund), they then spam you with offers, as you have then created an account. Either they need to honor the orders (and fire the guy who keeps doing this, no doubt to get cheap copies to a few friends when it first hits the web site) or fix their system so that no transaction has taken place until they get ready to ship. There are some overseas companies that do process your card in advance (esp in AU during the huge HD DVD sales last year), but every one I've dealt with honored the sale prices and shipped once they either increased stock or dealt with their order backlog.

Sure, mistakes happen now and then - but this company should have learned it's lesson two mistakes back, when it apparently did honor all the sale prices. This one and the one before the instead just hold the money a while and then cancel all the orders (increasing their subscription base, get possible sales on other titles at the same time that are not cancelled and get free cash loan during a time of restricted credit).

how is that illegal? They charge your card after you agree to their terms.

I am sorry, that is just silly. There is nothing to be gained by mispricing an item if sold results in a loss and if cancelled causes customer dissatisfaction. It is just an honest mistake and the fact they have done it too many times is unfortunate, nothing more.
