I apologize for this. I am doing everything I can to bring the site back up as soon as possible with the performance you've come to expect. The Store Comparison will be intermittently down during the server maintenance. INFO: Our new domain is now active. You can now reach us at http://www.dvdpricesearch.com. Remember to change your cookies to point to this new domain in order to retrieve your shopping cart. The original domain ( http://www.dvdpricesearch.net) will be transferred soon. 04/24/99  INFO: The site is now back up on a new dedicated server being hosted by Virtualis. Many thanks to Brad Fitzpatrick for recommending them. They have been incredible in their support and response time so far! The dedicated server was setup in 24 hours! We also now have 2 domain names (dvdpricesearch.net and now dvdpricesearch.com). They will eventually both point to this site but for now, you need to use http://216.2.231.238 . To retrieve your shopping cart, exit your browser and edit the cookies file to point your old dvdpricesearch.net cookies to 216.2.231.238. Please send me e-mail if you experience any problems with the site. Hopefully this dedicated server can handle the load. I'm also currently converting the site to a SQL-based database which should have a huge performance impact. Thanks for all your patience while the site goes through some growing pains ... 04/19/99  INFO: First I accidentally delete my own files without a backup and now yesterday (Sunday, 04/18), someone hacked into the DVD Price Search web host server and wiped out everyone's incoming e-mail that was left in their inbox. Luckily, I was able to do a partial retrieval from an April 15 backup. If you have sent me an e-mail since April 15 and have not received a reply, please send the e-mail again if possible. What else could go wrong ... I've fixed the problem with the New Releases and Anamorphic browse categories. 04/15/99  INFO: The site is now operational again. Sorry for the down time. There was a slight system problem ... a bunch of important files were 'accidentally' deleted and the backup system wasn't running so I had to work off a backup from 3 months ago! There are still a few minor things to work out but the site should work as usual. Please send me an e-mail if you spot any problems. 04/12/99  NEW STORE: DVD North has been added to our database.

Note that 800.com does ship internationally but only to Canada. 02/06/99  I've added a Vendor Info Page which lists all the stores included in the database along with contact information (address, e-mail, phone number). 02/01/99  Now you can browse through DVDs which are anamorphic (16:9 Enhanced) by selecting 'Anamorphic (16:9 Enhanced)' in the Browse menu. 01/29/99  Now you can search by % off of MSRP.

The Shopping Cart and Store Comparison pages now sort your DVD titles alphabetically. 01/11/99  Removed NetFlix from the database since they now only rent DVDs. [ Details ] The DVD Price Search web server (http://www.netspace.org) was upgraded today which made the site inaccessible for part of the day. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Just select the 'Delete' checkbox next to each title you want to delete and then click on 'Update Store Comparison'. 01/03/99  I've added the ability to change your store inclusion/exclusion information on the Price Comparison Page.
