(OT) Imax Super Speedway on DVD?

There was a thread on this NG awhile back about the IMAX Super Speedway DVD, everyone said it was brilliant. Someone had suggested Speadgear as a source, so I called and ordered it on DVD. After much, much time (1 month), I finally get it - and they sent it on VHS. Man, was a I dissappointed, but figured it was an honest mistake. So I called them up this morning and they don't even know what DVD is. Stupid woman was mean and rude, she is doing Speadgear no good at all. Stupid. "They don't have movies on CD's anyay, I don't know what you're talking about" she says... shees, nice customer service lady. Does anyone know where I can find this title on DVD over the web or by phone? Thanks mucho. Watch out for those Speadgear idiots... they just lost my bunsiness for life - not because they made a mistake, but because they have RUDE employees. -=Hammer remove x fer email reply

I order a couple of DVD's a week, and I've had nothing but good experiences with DVD Empire: www.dvdempire.com You might also want to try www.reel.com (they tend to be cheaper, especially with their current 50% sale, but often don't have the titles in stock for immediate delivery). - Eric

I saw it listed at dvd.com, but some guys a work saw it at the Omni Theater in Boston when it was out and said it was pretty lame. Too much time showing the car restoration etc.

I've also had good experiences with http://www.dvdexpress.com fast, and good prices, no problems in the past. But www.reel.com's 50% off sale made me order 5 dvd's from them last night, never ordered from them before but a slight delay in delivery is worth the 1/2 price to me. www.amazon.com also having a 50% off sale on their 100 most popular dvd's, never ordered from them personally. Lot's of places to order dvds from instead of Speedgear which seems to be overpriced on most things they sell (if you can find them available else where) still though I end up spending too much on racing T-Shirts with them every year at the Portland CART race... Anyhow hope that helps. Seeyas on the track. --John (Joao) Silva

Their service is pretty good, but you gotta watch the shipping charges. Unless you use the unreliable USPS shipping, it costs a fortune. $6.00 _plus_ $1.95 _per_ DVD for UPS Blue (2-day). DVD Empire is a bit more up-front, IMHO. Their overall discount is about 10% less, but they charge very reasonalble (if not downright cheap) shipping charges. 1-7 DVD's is like $5, with no per-disk addition for 2-Day Fedex. In fact, if you buy 8 or more DVD's, the shipping charge drops to a flat $3.00! -Larry

Yeah, and they don't*** you on shipping charges, like a lot of other places... -Larry
