I had been wanting to get The Wall for a while, but hadn't gotten around to it...
I'm just about to get an all new living room, and that would be a decent choice for a first DVD to watch/listen to.

I'm in.
And... since I can have 2 memberships... I'm just about to get in again.


Thanks!!

Song remains the same is probably one of the all time worst led zeppelin performances (you'll know why if you watch a behind the music type show about it).. but I love Zepp and the video is priceless regardless if you're a Zepp fan.

this deal's even hotter if you sign up your "friend" for one too...end up getting 12 dvd's for $50 shipped :)

here's my first 5:
Austin Powers 1,2
Rush Hour 2
Meet the Parents
Road Trip

I went for the comedy route this time

signing a fake "friend" up is a sure way to attract attention to yourself and get blacklisted by CH...your choice, though.

Unless I'm mistaken.... if you sign your "friend" up, your friend doesn't get to use the code.
I had considered taking that route, but after reading up on it at dvd talk....

Let us know if it works... For a friend, I could sign up my wife. But, if she gets in on the regular deal, then it would be better to have her sign up without me getting the 2 free dvd's. (Do the math, or again, check out dvd talk (is that the right name of the forum? it's late) They've already done all the math. The folks over there are wonderful.)

If I did not receive a confirmation email...is it safe to assume that I did not join...I printed out the receipt that says "That's it,you're done!". It shows the dvd's I ordered but no confirmation email ever came!!! I do not want to sign up too many times and get dinged from the system!!!

Well, I just tried this...4.99 a DVD is a great deal. It definitely did not say anything about any fulfilment requirements, so I think it is good. Iwill let you know when I get my DVDs. HURRAY! Thanks for the POST.

You cancel your membership the moment the DVD's arrive at your house (assuming this deal truly is good for no obligations in the future to purchase more dvd's.... if that's the case, then you'll have to go through either arguing until hopefully you win, or sending them back).

Assuming the deal is good, however, Cancel your membership when the dvd's arrive. 5 minutes later... sign up for a new membership. Lather, Rinse, repeat.

You can also have 2 memberships through CH at the same time.

I opened 2 accounts with same name and address. I did not receive confirmation email on first order (ordered early Sat.) but I did receive confirmation on the second account (odered last night), it came almost instantly!!! I would really like to get those ones I ordered first but I am afraid to try and order them again!!!

Same here. The only difference I can tell is that my first order was through the "red" site and my second was through the "blue" site.
:confused:

That reminds me. When I ordered through the red site, I was not prompted to create a password, I only gave my email with my ordering info. With the blue site, I was prompted to give an email and password to create an account. So, for my first order, there can't be any way for me to check my order status.

THIS DEAL IS LEGIT !

I received my "welcome to the club" email last night with username and password. If you log in and go to your account you can scroll to the bottom and it will say that all your requirements have been fulfilled. If you click on account history you can see where they charged you for the initial shipment.

Luck to you all
