Having been around these forums for a while, I know this deal gets posted a few times per year. However, I did a search and could not find a post referencing this deal except in the archives (November 2001 last post). Since we get new members all the time, and this IS one of the hottest deals going, I thought it appropriate to post the info again. Even so, there is new HOT information regarding Columbia House that even the old hands here should know about, at the end of this post.
The folks over at DVDTalk have a forum devoted to various DVD clubs, where you buy x DVDs for $x.xx each now and x DVDs later at full price. The best club is Columbia House. However, do not join them without consulting this forum, and more specifically, this thread, the Columbia House DVD Club FAQ.
In that thread, you will find special codes which give you better deals than you can find anywhere else. The best deal right now for new members is code 47B, which gives you 4 DVDs for $.49 each + S/H, 1 bonus DVD at $9.95 + S/H, and only 2 more to buy at club prices (minimum $19.99 each + S/H). Your total outlay for 7 DVDs? $66.71, which comes out to $9.53 per DVD, including S/H. *
The real genius of that thread is that it tells you which DVDs available for enrollment (the first 5) have the highest MSRP, and which fulfillment selections (the last 2) are underpriced at $19.99 club price. Therefore, you get the most expensive DVDs as enrollment selections, and the best value DVDs to fulfill your membership requirement. You can have 2 accounts open at one time.
The NEW HOT information, at least according to the forum at DVDTalk, is that FOX titles are now available from CH. They are only available as fulfillment selections right now, but in about 3 months, they should be available for enrollment as well.
* edited to reflect $9.53 is with S/H, per BrunoPuntzJones' post
