I know there are a bunch of different holiday-related sales going on right now at DD, DVDP, TRSI, etc. (as well as plenty more sales to come as the weeks progress), but is any outlet doing anything specifically for 'Cyber Monday' tomorrow?

Any one-day coupon codes and/or dedicated sales active for just that 24-hour window that anyone knows about?

Funimation also has some of their live action titles going for $5-$6 which was pretty cheap so I picked up a few. Their store site is slooow.

Some of their anime titles on sale can be found cheaper on Amazon. For example, Amazon has got Ergo Proxy for 16.99 vs Funis $19.99, Future Diary pt 1 for $23.99 vs Funi's $29.99 and Michiko to Hatchin part 1 &2 is $24.99 & $25.49 vs Funi store $32.49 & $32.49. There are some on Funi's store that are cheaper than amazon, so don't assume its all lopsided. Like anything else ya got to shop around.

Point 1: Agreed, their store site is slooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowww! Heck, the whole site is slow...after you hit login & enter your credentials & click the "log in" button, the site takes, like a full 60 seconds to refresh & display your username showing you've succeeded in logging in. Also, the PCs where I work use IE8, and the site no longer supports that particular browser, so I had to deal with a horrible looking, half-functional interface to place my Cyber Monday order today on top of the lack of speed.

Point 2: Shopping around is, and always has been, part of the Black Friday/Cyber Monday game... and I doubt We Without Wings will show up for less than $30 anywhere else (non-limited edition), as Funi's BD/DVD combos dont always enjoy the greatest of discounts...[/i]
