[alfonsosoriano]

What's the quality of their used stuff? Similar to in store I would assume?

[DeFiction]

Appreciate the heads up.. I just grabbed "Stranger Than Fiction" and "King Of California" for 83 cents.

[cardsfan111]

Figured it was worth a go, though the selection/prices didn't impress me. I picked up Just Like Heaven and Full Metal Jacket for less than $5.

[kenbenobi]

Too bad it isn't free shipping, too. I saw several new titles just over 10 bucks, but I decided to order a few HD-DVD's. I got Darkman for $8.41 shipped. Then I placed another order for Army of Darkness HD-DVD for $8.41 as well. The Deer Hunter HD-DVD is also the same price. There may be others, but those are the only 3 I found, but I only looked at titles I didn't already own...
I had to create a separate account for each order. The coupon can only be used once per account.

[bantheradio]

Anyone else being told that they must contact customer service after they try and submit the order?

[mj3b]

Yea, It just said "We are unable to process your order at this time. Please contact BLOCKBUSTER Customer Care."
What the F

[jewellrunner]

It worked for me. And I got free shipping too. ??? Anyway, I ordered a 2-disc movie, but I'm not sure if I'll get the second disc. For $3, I thought I'd take the risk. Anyone ordered from their website before that can confirm both discs are included?

[servewithchips]

Too bad it isn't free shipping, too.

It is free for used DVDs

[videoguy]

Ugh. How pathetic is their web site to try to find any HD DVDs. Even though there is a category, you have go through two more screens for each and every title just to see if they have any hd dvd. Too much work for me. And judging by the previous poster, shipping is going to be too much for me as well.

[sbelli]

Anyone find any used HD DVD or Blu-Rays?

Wouldn't mind picking up something if I can get the free shipping.

[kenbenobi]

It is free for used DVDs
Oh... That explains it. Looks like I might go back for more!

[thematahara]

I dont think they have any used Blu-ray's. They might, but who wants to click through a million screens trying to find out.

Very medicore deals to be had. All Blu-rays seem to be msrp, and the shipping kills it.

[boc4ever]

This worked for me on a new copy of Flotsam and Jetsam Live in Phoenix. Picked up for $8 and change...thanks OP!

[RonG617]

My order went through. Thanks. Can it only be used once?

[ruddiger_718]

It can only go once. Thanks OP for this deal, I'm getting the Brak Show new for $6 and some change each!

[alfonsosoriano]

You can make a new account to reuse the code.

Dammit, it didn't go through for me. :(

I was going to buy Unbraekable since it is not available at Columbia House but now they are sold out. I did get to previous viewed for 83 cents thouhg. Thanks OP.

Blu-ray Signs PV is there for $12.99 if anyones interested.

Blu-ray Signs PV is there for $12.99 if anyones interested.
That is NOT the Blu Ray version. They use the wrong pictures on many titles that have multiple versions. To see the proper price and picture for the appropriate version, you have to click "see all editions available from". If they have a Blu Ray or HD-DVD version for sale, you will see the Add to Cart link there, and the appropriate price. Signs Blu-Ray doesn't even have an Add to Cart link. The $12.99 price is for the regular DVD...

[OwlAtHome]

Great deal, many thanks, g! I got Dear frankie for $3.23 shipped.

[DVDude!]

Thanks for the post, g! I picked up The Taking of Pelham One, Two, Three for $5.36 shipped (new). My girlfriend bought Monkey Business for me for $4.76 shipped (also new, and she has a BB online rental account for the extra discount).

[Jedi Master 33]

Thanks for the info. Got Planet Of The Apes and Anacondas for 2.66.

[fitlissa76]

Thanks ! I got Bellydance with Veils. Since I'm auditioning for a position in a bellydance troupe this week I'll need to brush up on my veil technique should I make it & get into the troupe. Great time for a coupon code. This DVD doesn't go for less than $15 to $18 or so usually, so with the coupon code & shipping I got it for $7 and change. Thanks much !

[servewithchips]

The Prestige $2.12 shipped

Ugh. How pathetic is their web site to try to find any HD DVDs. Even though there is a category, you have go through two more screens for each and every title just to see if they have any hd dvd. Too much work for me.

Yes, has anyone figured out a better way to find HD-DVD titles? Their search engine is really poor.

[IamLegend]

picked up Diary of the Dead for $3.22 shipped not too shabby.

[kenbenobi]

Yes, has anyone figured out a better way to find HD-DVD titles? Their search engine is really poor.
Nope. I went through every title I had interest in, and only found 3 titles (Deer Hunter, Army of Darkness, and Darkman). But I didn't go through every title. I only went through what I didn't have and wanted...

[Bob_F1]

Nope. I went through every title I had interest in, and only found 3 titles (Deer Hunter, Army of Darkness, and Darkman). But I didn't go through every title. I only went through what I didn't have and wanted...

Thanks! Order The Big White - Blu-ray for $6.26 New.

[zoran009]

Thanks! Order The Big White - Blu-ray for $6.26 New.

[dead_rsng53]

Anyone figure out how to get past the "Unable to process order" message? I really want Diary of the Dead for $3.21. :(

Edit: Ok, It worked after a few tries. Probably too much site traffic. Thanks, OP! Great deal! :)

[bellevuecoug]

They do have a few Criterions - I got Rashomon for just $ 5.43 shipped. Who knows if it will have the insert - we shall see.

[alfonsosoriano]

Yeah I ordered Rashomon and Kagemusha for cheap. Hoping they come complete, but I figured it is worth the risk.

[Copper Blue]

Just snagged a $10 Hoop Dreams Criterion for free. Fuckin A.

[Super56K]

Took a shot on Man Bites Dog for $1.79 or so after coupon.

[ratherunique]

Is there a limit on how many times you can use the code for August?

[theflicker]

They do have a few Criterions - I got Rashomon for just $ 5.43 shipped. Who knows if it will have the insert - we shall see.

I just grabbed Rashomon as well.

Besides the aforementioned Rashomon, Kagemusha, and Hoop Dreams, they also have Fanny and Alexander - Theatrical for 12.99 before discount.

I'd grab more, but am wary of the condition and too lazy to make more accounts.

[Jedi Master 33]

Is there a limit on how many times you can use the code for August?
.......on the first page.

[josepotato]

Doesn't look like any of the pre-viewed DVDs are going out of stock, I doubt they have as many used copies of these Criterions as they've taken orders for. Anyone get a shipping confirmation yet?

[BamaDan]

Alphaville Criterion shipped for $3 and some change off the Blockbuster gift card. Local BB gives $4 credit for every movie traded in, so I offloaded a pile on them. Good times, thanks OP.

[Cheato]

I used to work at Blockbuster, years ago, so I don't trust the used DVDs. I hope everything works out for the rest of you. If you get good discs, I might order some myself. Thanks for being guinea pigs!

There might be a difference between a used title that was (1) bought from a customer that sold it to the store, and (2) a previously-viewed rental copy. So I would theorize that you'd get better quality Criterions (including a decent chance you'd get the original case and inserts) than you would get ordering something recent like Juno (or even a few years old, like Ocean's Twelve).


As for new DVDs, if you get a $10.99 title and pay $3.97 shipping, you get a new one for $4.96+tax.

So, I found what I thought were a few decent prices, and put in some separate orders. I have already received shipping notices for them:

This Island Earth
Hoodwinked
Sleeper
Blue Thunder (Special Edition)

I also ordered the Buck Rogers serial for $7.96+tax.

Thanks, g, for letting us know about the sale code!

I wanted Fun With Dick and Jane (Jim Carrey), but when I get to the final screen, the site tells me it's no longer available for purchase.

If anyone finds any other good $10.99 (new) titles, please post!

I know some of these might be available for $3 or $4 in other sales sometimes, but I can only do my shopping online (I don't live in the US anymore), and I don't feel like ordering these piecemeal from eBay trying to save a dollar here or there and dealing with a bunch of different sellers.

Lastly, I have to echo others' sentiments. When it comes to buying something from them, navigating their site is ridiculous.

:confused:

Anyway, I really hate the way you have to click through to find out exactly what version is selling at the low price listed.

[alfonsosoriano]

I've purchased the Criterions for Kagemusha, Rashomon, Man Bites Dog, and Alphaville. At these prices, I'll take the risk of getting a less than great quality DVD.

[speedy1961]

Thanks g for the tip!

With Blockbuster on th AOL.com's 10 Businesses to most likely Close list published yesterday, I just liquidated my $75 in BB gift cards ad got $20 off as well.

[RustyOrgan]

Hey Speedy - What's the link for that AOL article?

[Cheato]

:confused:
I guess you're confused because you didn't make the connection from where I said:

As for new DVDs, if you get a $10.99 title and pay $3.97 shipping, you get a new one for $4.96+tax.Sorry that i wasn't more clear. The ones I ordered were all new, not used, copies.

[Paul1957]

I've purchased the Criterions for Kagemusha, Rashomon, Man Bites Dog, and Alphaville. At these prices, I'll take the risk of getting a less than great quality DVD.

Agree, I purchased Man Bites Dog, Alphaville, and Rashomon (already had Kagemusha) for 11.77. I'll also take the chance.

[theflicker]

I guess you're confused because you didn't make the connection from where I said:

Sorry that i wasn't more clear. The ones I ordered were all new, not used, copies.

Ah ok, that all makes sense.

I hope you're right about member trade-ins vs. rental copies. We all shall soon see.

[Paul1957]

Hey Speedy - What's the link for that AOL article?

I think this is the story Speedy mentioned (not surprising to see Circuit City included):

If you get the "Unable to process order" error just scroll down and hit the submit order button again.Btw, it appears as long as you change the email address the other info can stay the same.I ordered Robotech the shadow chronicles the other day and the status shows complete now. I just put in orders for Diary of the Dead and Rashoman

[Moopher]

Anyone know how to add a blu ray?

[brizz]

picked up Kagemusha and Fanny and Alexander for $3.17 ea. shipped. for that price as long as they play i don't much care about the cases. two 2 disc criterions for six bucks is impossible to beat. I don't much care for Bergman, but the wife loves his stuff, so it'll be a nice surprise for her.

[brizz]

oh, and i used two separate email addy's w/ identical info and both went through fine.

[alfonsosoriano]

Has anyone had anything shipped yet?

[alfonsosoriano]

*Edit* They've all shipped. They just don't send out emails.

[movieguru]

Their website sucks. It's no wondering they are going bankrupt if customers can't place orders on their website without getting errors.

[alfonsosoriano]

I got Rashomon today. There's no insert, but I'm not sure if it is supposed to have one. The case looks fine. The disc has a few marks on it but as long as it plays I don't care.

[excom101]

They seem to have caught on to the multiple emails trick. Seems now that only variations on your name will work (adding, for instance, your middle initial).

That said-- I picked up Kagemusha, Hopscotch, and Metropolitan.

[alfonsosoriano]

Good tip.

[Chad]

Both my orders (Kagemusha and Man Bites Dog) apparently shipped yesterday.

Here's hoping they're not all scratched to hell upon arrival. :fc:

[GenPion]

My copy of Kagemusha was badly scratched. It had a deep scratch that affects playback. I'm not sure what to do about it...

[Cheato]

If you still want to keep it, try fixing it with toothpaste. It almost always works for me, even on deep scratches.

Get a pasty toothpaste (not gel), and rub it in with a soft cloth, using circular motions. Wash it off, and try it. It has completely recovered discs for me that had many scratches and wouldn't play at all.

[kenbenobi]

*Edit* They've all shipped. They just don't send out emails.
You sure about that? I got an email saying one of my orders shipped, and I just received it in the mail yesterday. I did not get emails about my other 2 orders, one of which I placed BEFORE the order I received. I have a feeling they didn't ship, because they don't have the stuff in stock. I'll post if I receive them.

Yes, very sure. I've gotten no emails for any of them.

[alfonsosoriano]

I got my Kagemusha today. Both discs, no insert, a few marks (nothing that looks like it will hinder play). The strangest thing is that the jacket artwork is a little messed up. It won't fit correctly in the case and it appears someone has folded the edge of the front of it to make it fit. Whenever you try and fit the whole thing in that case or another, it just doesn't fit. Very strange. I don't care though. I probably would never own this if it wasn't $3.

[theMadness]

Has anyone had anything shipped yet?

I did not get a shipping notification but my discs arrived today.

[Chad]

I got my Kagemusha today. Both discs, no insert, a few marks (nothing that looks like it will hinder play).

Same situation here with the exception of the bottom portion of the case not snapping shut properly ...no biggie since I have a replacement case available. Now Man Bites Dog was a floater, but there wasn't any noticeable damage done. The case was in remarkably good shape.

Yeah, all three discs had a few superficial scratches on them, although that's to be expected and I'm sure as hell not complaining for the $3 and change paid per title. Overall I'm satisfied and just placed another order for Rashomon. :up:

[Brent L]

I wish it was easier to find good used titles on that site.

Meh.

I bought three Criterions, so I'll update when they show up.

[Trevor]

It was a pain to find the Criterions. I couldn't figure out a way to find them by searching, so I just browsed the "foreign" section until I found a couple. Not sure if Taste of Cherry has been mentioned yet as one available used Criterion.

[Brent L]

The three Criterions I bought were:

-Man Bites Dog
-My Life As a Dog
-The Vanishing

And here are all of the used Criterions I've found:

All That Heaven Allows
Bad Timing
Brief Encounter
Crazed Fruit
Fanny & Alexander
Grand Illusion
Hoop Dreams
Hopscotch
Kagemusha
Man Bites Dog
Metropolitan
My Life As a Dog
Picnic at Hanging Rock
Rashomon
The Rolling Stones: Gimme Shelter
Solo Con Tu Pareja
The Shop on Main Street
The Taste of Cherry
Traffic
The Vanishing

[alfonsosoriano]

I placed another order. The Vanishing and 28 Weeks Later for $4.22. I added 28 Weeks Later because 1) I did eventually want to own it and 2) It was $3.99 and I needed something to bump it to $10 since Vanishing is only $9.99.

[alfonsosoriano]

Oh, and I figured out why Kagemusha's jacket liner was so messed up. I forgot that it's one of those 2 disc sets that supposed to come in the thicker case. I luckily had one lying around.

[Spiral Staircase]

The three Criterions I bought were:

-Man Bites Dog
-My Life As a Dog
-The Vanishing

And here are all of the used Criterions I've found:

All That Heaven Allows
Bad Timing
Brief Encounter
Crazed Fruit
Fanny & Alexander
Grand Illusion
Hoop Dreams
Hopscotch
Kagemusha
Man Bites Dog
Metropolitan
My Life As a Dog
Picnic at Hanging Rock
Rashomon
The Rolling Stones: Gimme Shelter
Solo Con Tu Pareja
The Shop on Main Street
Traffic
The Vanishing

The Taste of Cherry is also available. It is not as good as the Artificial Eye edition, but it is still a great bargain for one of Kiarostami's best works.

[dead_rsng53]

Well that was the fastest standard free shipping ever. Diary of the Dead and 13: Game of Death came today and, to my surprise, they weren't in the nasty Blockbuster "glazed" cases. No scratches at all and the cases are in immaculate condition. And you can't beat it for $8.

[Rubix]

so how do you know how many discs are included? the pirates of the caribbean: at world's end pic shows the 2 disc version. will they send that version or the 1 disc?

[josepotato]

If you click on the "See all editions available from $..." link it should say the specs, don't trust the picture.

[grune]

I recieved my Robotech over the weekend. Checking the order status online it shows Rashoman and Diary of the Dead have shipped. I havn't got a shipping notice for any of them

[kenbuzz]

I think this is the story Speedy mentioned (not surprising to see Circuit City included):

http://money.aol.com/investing/big-retailers-which-may-close-or-downsizeIronic, considering that the article is on AOL.

[movieguru]

Got the order I placed on 8/6 today. Discs look like they are in good condition. I placed a few more orders. If any happen to com in bad condition I won't bother to return them as I would have to pay return shipping and they can't be returned at Blockbuster stores. But with several order of 2 dvd's for 83 cents shipped, I can't really go wrong.

[Torchur317]

I got the first DVD of my 3 orders today....
City of God,It was in pretty good condition besides a few little marks....
If the other two are the same I will be ordering more....

It worked for me in Firefox no problem this morning. (Got the new Futurama movie for just over $3, hoping it comes in rental packaging)

[basaro]

I got my Kagemusha today. Both discs, no insert, a few marks (nothing that looks like it will hinder play). The strangest thing is that the jacket artwork is a little messed up. It won't fit correctly in the case and it appears someone has folded the edge of the front of it to make it fit. Whenever you try and fit the whole thing in that case or another, it just doesn't fit. Very strange. I don't care though. I probably would never own this if it wasn't $3.

What kind of case is it, an Alpha (double-wide keepcase), or just a regular 2-disc keepcase? It is supposed to come in the former, so if you have the latter, that is the reason.

[alfonsosoriano]

Yeah it was in a standard 2-disc keepcase. I felt dumb once I looked at my DVD shelf and saw my Traffic, Naked Lunch, etc Criterions. :)

[BamaDan3]

The three Criterions I bought were:

[mattysemo247]

Awesome, it finally went through after 5 or so tries. Thanks.

[Super56K]

Received Kagemusha and Man Bites Dog today. Kagemusha came with no booklet, and in a standard 2-disc case (as noted above). Discs are in acceptable condition.

Man Bites Dog is in good condition as well. Best deals on Criterions I've ever seen...even if they're missing booklets and used.

[Rob052067]

Sweet. Just ordered 'Transformers' and 'Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver' for $0.78 shipped!

I also got the "We are unable to process your order at this time. Please contact BLOCKBUSTER Customer Care" error message the first time I tried to submit the order. But, it went through the 2nd time I hit the Submit button.

[bigE]

Just wanted to say thanks to all who posted... I was able to get Kagemusha CC & American Gangster (WS/2-disc) for $3.20 each. Both in VERY good condition. More dirty than scratched. Thanks again, bigE

[Cheato]

Thanks for everyone posting about the Criterions. I wound up ordering Kagemusha and Rashomon. I didn't get shipment confirmations, but when I log into my account(s) on the website, they show as shipped.

But, I am wondering about the quality of the other things people are ordering used. I expect to get no inserts and bad cases on the Criterions, but what about other things (like from the last few years). Are they showing up with their inserts and in their original cases?

[IamLegend]

Got my Diary of the Dead today...in normal case with artwork...not too bad of shape on dvd...pretty cool.
Thanks for the Post!

[Web]

Just got Rashomon in the mail. $4.99. It's as if they took a new one, removed the plastic wrap and insert, and shipped it to me. The case and disc are pristine! I guess it's hit or miss with them, and I got lucky with this one. But now I notice Criterion is coming out with a new edition of Rashomon Sept 9. Does anyone know if it's remastered or has anything extra? I hope I don't have to upgrade.

[alfonsosoriano]

I got Man Bites Dog and Alphaville today. The quality on these two is GREAT. What awesome deals.

[RonG617]

Got my two movies today regular cases and really good condition.

[That'sAllFolks]

The three Criterions I bought were:

-Man Bites Dog
-My Life As a Dog
-The Vanishing



The Vanishing and My Life are both 9.99. Is there a REALLY cheap filler here?

[Brent L]

I just bought them together.

But ugh, I received those three today and while Man Bites Dog is in perfect condition, My Life As a Dog is pretty scratched up, and The Vanishing is the freakin' remake.

Do any of you have a phone number that I could call? I don't see one on the site at all.

EDIT:

Well, make that a half-ugh. The outside art for The Vanishing is for the remake, but the Criterion DVD is actually in the case.

[Torchur317]

I got The Cottage & The Green Mile 2 disc today....
Both were in perfect condition....
Placed another order for Day Watch & Home of the Brave for $2....

[coop22]

any cheap titles to suggest to bump up a $9.99 order...much appreciated...

by the way, I received 2 kurosawa criterions in good condition as well as a baby einstein movie for my boy...

thanks OP!

[alfonsosoriano]

The thread over at Slickdeals has a great list of cheap titles:

http://forums.slickdeals.net/showpost.php?p=12370053&postcount=2

Day Watch and 3:10 To Yuma for $2.10 shipped.

I'll be coming back for more until the coupon is dead.

Dirty Jobs: Collection 1 is $9.99 ..not a terrible deal if you buy a $3.99 title with it..a little over $4 with tax.

second season of spongebob squarepants is also 9.99 ... for those with kids....or like talking underwater sponges...

[Jedi Master 33]

Has anyone's order not shipped yet?

[alfonsosoriano]

You might not get a shipping confirmation email. I don't think I did.

[theflicker]

[GenPion]

Drat:
Kagemusha [Criterion Collection] [2 Discs] is no longer available for purchase. Please revise your cart.

And the copy I already ordered is in horrible condition. The scratches were terrible and the movie wont play no matter what I've tried. :(

[alfonsosoriano]

Go trade it in to a Blockbuster B&M. :D

[Kal Varnsen]

I just bought them together.

But ugh, I received those three today and while Man Bites Dog is in perfect condition, My Life As a Dog is pretty scratched up, and The Vanishing is the freakin' remake.

Do any of you have a phone number that I could call? I don't see one on the site at all.

EDIT:

Well, make that a half-ugh. The outside art for The Vanishing is for the remake, but the Criterion DVD is actually in the case.
Mine had the right cover art but the disc is the remake. :mad:

[bantheradio]

I am still getting this message:

We are unable to process your order at this time. Please contact BLOCKBUSTER Customer Care.

This is even after trying continually clicking the submit order for roughly half and hour after each failure .

[GenPion]

Well, I just stayed up all night looking for good things to order and placed a lot of different orders.

I'm exhausted, but these deals were just too good to pass up.

[kenbenobi]

You might not get a shipping confirmation email. I don't think I did.
I placed 4 orders the first day this thread was posted. I received one shipping email, and I received that order last week. So it seems the other 3 orders definitely didn't ship...

[pilot]

before last night i placed like 3 orders, all shipped and received all but one.. (may have been 4 orders and received 3..but i think i lost count) did not receive a single email saying orders were shipped..checked online..

I didn't see it mentioned, but The Big White is only $2.99, good filler for the
$9.99 Criterions. I ordered Kagemusha about a week ago and apart from the cover being weird from being stuffed in there like it was (I always bitched about them doing that that when I worked there) the discs were in great shape.

[Chad]

Drat:
Kagemusha [Criterion Collection] [2 Discs] is no longer available for purchase. Please revise your cart.

The same goes for a used copy of Alphaville.

EDIT: I see it wasn't listed on Brent's list, so it's probably been unavailable for at least a few days now.

[That'sAllFolks]

Dont forget, you can get some pretty good deals on NEW DVDs.

Cartoon network (Harvey Birdman, Space Ghost, etc.) are 11.99 so that final cost is 6.45 (w/ tax and shipping).


I'm trying to place another order, but it says that it won't take my CC.
"We were unable to process your order. Please use another credit card or try again later."

Wonder if I'm blocked????? Anyone else get this.

[Torchur317]

Drat:

GOD DAMN IT!!!!
I knew I should have ordered it the other day instead of something else....
I was going to get it when I got paid Thurs,That figures....

[stronghold7000]

Thanks to those that took the time to post all of the deals.

I ordered 5 movies on Thursday 8/7, and they all arrived in the mail Monday 8/11, in individual blue Blockbuster mailers:

Rashomon
Alphaville
Man Bites Dog
Kagemusha (2 Disc)
Battlestar Galactica: Razor

All arrived in mint condition (but without inserts) aside from Kagemusha (the first disc had minor surface scratches).

I placed another 6 orders today, and all seemed to go through. Here's hoping.

Thanks again.

Well now you know who got the original disc. ;)

[Jedi Master 33]

Pretty good deal I think:

Winnie the Pooh: The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh $5.99Better than paying $20 for it

[cardsfan111]

It's too bad that the $3.97 shipping rate for new titles isn't a flat rate. Or even if additional titles were shipped for a smaller amount...

[GenPion]

It's too bad that the $3.97 shipping rate for new titles isn't a flat rate. Or even if additional titles were shipped for a smaller amount...

how is everyone placing multiple orders? i was only able to place one.

how is everyone placing multiple orders? i was only able to place one.

As mentioned earlier, setting up multiple accounts.

[CaseyB]

The last few days I had been getting a message that the site was unavailable...but I was finally able to get on yesterday and ordered UFC Classics 8 for $5.XX. :) What are some of the better deals on the new dvds?

[Super56K]

As mentioned earlier, setting up multiple accounts.

And also, to make it easer as another user explained, simply adding a period somewhere within the same email address works as a 'new' account that sends confirmations to the same email.

[cardsfan111]

Several of you have indicated getting your orders already. I'm still waiting on the single order I placed on the 4th. Not to be too impatient, but I've held off on other orders til I can check out firsthand the condition of their used DVDs.

*Figured if I'd post about this, the order will show up in the next 24 hours.

About Schmidt
Ali G Show: Da Compleet First Seazon [2 Discs]
1.04

Every single one of these-- barring the first order (love My Life as a Dog!) and Ali G-- is a blind buy, too, but for roughly half the average rental price, it's hardly a risk.

Funnily enough, Man Bites Dog and Alphaville were half of my order during that recent B1G1-free Criterion sale at DD, but I'd be a lot more pissed if Alphaville was still available for cheap in this sale now that I finally got around to checking it out. Since it's not, though, I can remain satisfied (at least until it's inevitably re-released).

[alfonsosoriano]

I feel like going back for more. Hahaha.

[rkndkn]

Well, make that a half-ugh. The outside art for The Vanishing is for the remake, but the Criterion DVD is actually in the case.

Exact same thing happened to me -- Criterion disc with Kiefer version cover.

[alfonsosoriano]

Is everyone making up e-mail addresses, or actually setting up multiple e-mail accounts and using those for the multiple memberships?

[rkndkn]

mattressman,

I've actually set up a bunch of e-mail accounts for this. I want to make sure I receive the actual confirmation e-mail for the order. (Though they do NOT e-mail with shipping notification despite what the confirmation e-mail says.)

[Torchur317]

Jesus christ,alfonsosoriano chill out already.... lol
BB might notice the insane amount you already ordered & shut this down.... lol

[GenPion]

Jesus christ,alfonsosoriano chill out already.... lol

I doubt that's even an issue. I've ordered more than him and have received a lot of stuff already.

[hot_locket]

Is everyone making up e-mail addresses, or actually setting up multiple e-mail accounts and using those for the multiple memberships?
I'm using the gmail trick. Inserting periods into a gmail address at a different point each time registers as a separate email to Blockbuster, but you still get all the order confirmations to your original address. I have a pretty long gmail username, so I've been able to exploit it quite a few times :P

[DerangedHermit]

Team America: World Police
$4.49

WWE: Armageddon 2006
$9.99

Total: $4.87

Not much else for used WWE items. Using search, it says No Way Out 2007 and One Night Stand 2007 are available used, but when you click on them, they're only in new. That sucks too, since both of those DVDs have Blockbuster exclusives :(

[Jamezuva]

seems like they changed the prices for some of them comparing it to the list from several days ago, i.e. Transformers is now 9.99

[trips13]

anyone know a site where i can print the criterion cover for the Vanishing? i also got the Criterion disc with Kiefer version cover. thanks

[GenPion]

My copy of Shall we Dance? (Japanese Foreign Film) had the right cover art but the American Re-Make disc (which is a film I absolutely detest).

Any ideas? Use it as a Frisbee?

[cardsfan111]

Nah. Head over to slickdeals and look at how much some of those guys ordered. Hundreds. One guy is ordering them only to trade them in so he can get a 360.

[pilot]

I think I've basically ran out of things I want to buy, lol. There's some $14.99 stuff but I think those can be bought (or eventually will be) $4.95/$5.95 at family video's website so those aren't must haves...

[starman9000]

Got my Futurama movies and they came in very nice standard cases. Slight scratches on the discs, but for the price and for the better packaging I am very happy. Thanks OP.

[mattressman]

Has anyone found any movies for 4.50 or 6.50?
These are great to combine with other flicks to get two for fifty cents.
I've bought Willy Wonka, Isolation and The Haunting. I also noticed The Final Patient and Showdown at Area 51 are 4.50, but I'd rather buy something I'm remotely interested in watching.
I'd love to find out more that aren't on that list, already posted.

[Super56K]

I wouldn't wait on ordering a throw away title with one you want for 51 cents. That's still dirt cheap, and a lot of the 4.49 titles aren't available anymore so the selection is even smaller now.

[thedeputy04]

I'm getting a this code has expired message.

[Chad]

Literally just placed an order and it worked for me.

[thedeputy04]

I guess I must have screwed up something. Just made another account and it went through. Sorry if anyone read that and thought it was dead.

[movieguru]

If you misspell it even by one letter it will say the code has expired.

[That'sAllFolks]

Anyone buy any new stuff?

I got Harvey Birdman 1&2, Space Ghost Coast to Coast 2&3 (had 1) for 6.45 ea.

Also Lost Room and Demetri Martin Person for 5.37 (not steals but seemed like a pretty good price).

Interested in anything else someone may have got.

[alfonsosoriano]

So what is everyone doing about the issue with The Vanishing. Has anyone attempted requesting just the correct cover art from Blockbuster? I figure printing it out work work out fine too.

[mattressman]

I wouldn't wait on ordering a throw away title with one you want for 51 cents. That's still dirt cheap, and a lot of the 4.49 titles aren't available anymore so the selection is even smaller now.

Yeah, I agree. I'd rather save a dollar if I can, though. Call me cheap, heh. Buying a pair of $5.99's is more expensive than a pair of a $5.99 & $4.49 movies. If that makes sense. In example, I picked up the first season of The Office with Isolation (which was a blind buy) and 24 Hour Party People and The Haunting. That came out cheaper than buying The Office and 24 Hour Party People together,and I'm excited to see Isolation but would never have thought to buy it originally. Woo!

[DerangedHermit]

I made 3 orders, 2 I didn't post yet:

(order #1: WWE Armageddon 2006/Team America: $4.87)

order #2: Beast with a Billion Backs: $3.25

order #3: The Best of the Power Rangers - The Ultimate Rangers: $3.25 (don't make fun of me, there's a few of the old episodes on there)

[Moopher]

Nevermind.

[Bob511]

Batman Beyond - season 1 - New - $5.99

if anyone is interested.

Might want to look at that one a little more closely before ordering.

[Cheato]

Anyone buy any new stuff?
Most of them aren't tremendous savings, but I don't live in the US, so I don't have in-store options during sales. I get most of my stuff from Columbia House, which averages out to $5 or below for new releases, so I figure $4.96+tax is good enough--especially for things I can't get from CH.

These are the $10.99 new ones I got:
Hoodwinked
This Island Earth
Blue Thunder SE
Sleeper
Robocop: Prime Directives--Meltdown
Robocop: Prime Directives--Resurrection
Robocop: Prime Directives--Crash and Burn
Quigley Down Under
Chaos
Dance With Me, Henry

Also got (new):
Kingdom of the Spiders (plus My Super Ex-Girlfriend PVD as a filler)
Star Trek: Nemesis SE (plus Dark Water PVD as a filler)
Buck Rogers (serial)

Still considering:
Jesse Stone: Stone Cold (10.99 new)
Nomad (10.99 new)
Ring Two (8.99 new, needs a filler)
Hollywoodland (PVD)
Omen (2006) (PVD)
Producers (2006) (PVD)
United 93 (PVD, but 1-disc version)
World Trade Center (PVD, but 1-disc version)

[Super56K]

If others are interested in new titles I also believe that a few Dragon Dynasty titles were priced $10.99 new. (come drink with me was one I believe)

[bigE]

The last 2 I got were The Pretender (2001 movies) for $5.31 new & Metropolis (Restored Kino version) used for $3.20. I can't believe how quickly they ship...VERY :) :)

[coop22]

Thanks again to the OP and those who posted suggestions.

I received 4 more orders today, 3 of which I never received email confirmations about after ordering. As I never received the confirmations, I placed the orders again using different email addresses...Oh well, I will have some doubles...

All DVDs I have received look scratch free...no inserts, but original covers and actual discs described (including criterion vanishing)...

Cannot believe that I am racking up criterions at $3 a piece....

Criterion will send replacement inserts and cover art to you at no cost if they have it and if you ask via email (Jon Mulvaney).

I'll have to try this.

[Super56K]

Received 10 orders today. Most are in pretty bad condition (lots of newer release titles so it's expected from BB)

The standouts were Pirates 3 in the crappy BB rental case, and the film BUG came with a blank white sheet of paper in it for a cover.

My Criterion titles were in pretty good condition though.

I've been lucky so far. All mine have come with the cover art and most of the discs don't appear to be in bad condition. I haven't played any of them yet though. even if I get a few dad ones I'm happy since some of them I only paid 42 cents for.

[hot_locket]

Never received shipping confirmation, but still got my discs today. Everything is in decent condition, including the correct disc and cover art for the Criterion 'The Vanishing'.

How exactly does this work, do I just say I bought the discs used and they didn't come with inserts?

[mattysemo247]

1st order:

Futurama: The Beast with a Billion Backs - $1.81

2nd order:

Futurama: Bender's Big Score / 28 Weeks Later - $6.42

3rd order:

National Treasure / Elf (2 disc) - $8.56

[Dr. Phibes]

I got about 13 envelopes in the mail today in a plastic Post Office bin. I lucked out and got the Criterion Vanishing disc with the Criterion cover. I'll try and get a picture of the stack I have to try and find room for.

[alfonsosoriano]

lol I just got about 30 dvds from Blockbuster. That was fun to open. They are all in remarkably good quality. Awesome.

[alfonsosoriano]

I think I've gotten 45 dvds for $50 in this sale. Something like that.

[Jedi Master 33]

They screwed me over also. They sent me that awful Planet of the Apes remake instead of the original.:mad:

[alfonsosoriano]

Now that's a crime.

Exactly. Just be polite and say you purchased some used copies of X,Y and Z that didn't have inserts and could you get replacements. It's also nice to complement them on great company service and a great product. Methinks he's going to be sending out more than a few Spoorloos inserts.

[pilot]

lol I just got about 30 dvds from Blockbuster. That was fun to open. They are all in remarkably good quality. Awesome.

lol. I just 16. All in decent shape. Some had a few noticeable scratches, some looked almost new. No inserts in any, mostly cheap replacement cases (1 or 2 slightly cracked or bent), cover art in decent to perfect condition (except for Dirty Jobs Volume 1 was in a BB case with no cover art).

[vietduckboi]

are people getting their movies in dvd cases or blockbuster sleeves?

[cardsfan111]

The two I ordered were in their original cases.

[dead_rsng53]

The 4 movies I've received so far were in regular DVD cases w/ artwork. The cases were in surprisingly good condition; no scuffs, marks, or stickers.

I got mine along the same lines

[brizz]

got my Fanny & Alexander and Kagemusha CCs - discs are perfect but no inserts and they had the big case covers squeezed into the slim 2 disc cases. the fanny and alexander cover was actually cut along the back edge to make it fit. i may try and get a replacement from CC if anyone can confirm they'll do it. I've gotten covers replaced before but not sure they'll send an insert.

[mattressman]

I'm getting a response that the promotion has expired :(

[coop22]

bamadan, thanks so much for the suggestion...i gave it a try...we will see if i get any results...if not, it only took 1 minute out of my life...

After getting a PS3 a couple of months ago, I told myself I would not buy any standard dvds anymore, only blu-rays...this sale made me toss that rule out the window...anyone else in the same boat?

[GenPion]

Yes. This sale and Big Lots prices on Woody Allen sets and $3 movies has broken my rule as well. It just went right out the window. I was trying to only buy HD/Blu-ray from now on.

Of course, I really shouldn't be complaining... :)

[hot_locket]

Just watched The Vanishing: wow. Even if every other movie I got from the sale is shit, it will be worth it just for coming across this great flick.

Now I'm just debating whether or not to pick up Fanny and Alexander. I've seen the theatrical cut before, but from what I gather, it's not even worth watching (even if to own it would be $3) compared to the full-length, TV version.

[theMadness]

All 10 I received so far have been in regular DVD cases.

[coville]

Yesterday I received:
Riding Giants and Tank Girl for 52 cents. Halloween (remake), The Messengers and Trauma for for $3.97. All in original cases. Some scratches on the discs but they appear minor and at this price if they play I'm happy.

Just ordered Once and Namesake for $1.98! Time to search for more. :)

[DerangedHermit]

Two more orders:

- BASEketball and SNL: Best of Steve Martin: $2.15
- SNL: Best of Steve Martin Vol. 2 and SNL: Best of Tracy Morgan: $2.15

Yeah, The Vanishing was truly amazing. It was also one of the most disturbing, tragic love stories I have ever seen. Was it worth the $3? Easily.

As for Fanny and Alexander, I would order it. I haven't seen either cut of it but for $3 you can't go wrong.

I got Roshomon in a Blockbuster case with the Criterion artwork, no insert (sounds like no one is getting inserts). DVD in perfect shape, so I'm happy!

Add the DVDs to your cart first, then when you hit checkout, choose the option that says "I do not have a Blockbuster account" and sign up from there.

[dead_rsng53]

Wow, all the $4.49 DVDs are cleaned out. I can't find any still in stock.

[Jamezuva]

Has anyone found any other 10.99 NEW dvds? I really wish their search engine was better

I've ordered Sleeper and Sicko already

The old Blondie serials from the 40's are available new for $5.99 or $6.99. It's the 2 disc version that has 10 72 minutes movies on it. Combine it with a cheap $3 or $4 dvd and not a bad deal for $3.97 shipping and .98 more cents for the overage.

[movieguru]

I did manage to find a $1.99 movie that I wanted; an old Boogie movie. But when I went to checkout it was not available.

[Seantn]

Even though my order is above $10, it keeps telling me
"Your order must be $10 or more for this promotional code"

But then just to see if it would work, I made my order about $20 and what do you know, it worked.

[dead_rsng53]

I can't help myself...

Aeon Flux
Day Watch
Total: $2.21

Bottom Feeder
Surviving Christmas
Total: $0.51

[grenier]

the film BUG came with a blank white sheet of paper in it for a cover.

Mine came the same way, I was like WTF? The disc is in good shape, I'll have to find a cover scan or something.

For people who ordered Dirty Jobs Collection 1 it's that way too. I'm trying to find a cover for it without much success. I have a feeling anything that had multiple discs will come with no cover art (Office Season 1, Bionic Woman Volume 1, etc)

Maybe some kind person will make some high res scans and post it (hint hint)

The site is really hard to navigate, and when you pull up the list, the prices indicated are very often inaccurate when you click through to the title. (Or they will no longer be available for sale. They really need to fix that.)

[thedeputy04]

Does anyone know whether Fanny and Alexander is supposed to come in the 2 disk normal dvd case that blockbuster sent it in? Or is supposed to be in one of the double wide cases like kagemusha?

[alfonsosoriano]

It's supposed to come in one of the larger double wide cases.

[thedeputy04]

That's what I thought. Thanks

[mattysemo247]

4th order:

The Darkness (Unrated WS)
The Village (WS)

52 cents

For 26 cents a movie, you can't beat it!

[cardsfan111]

^ I'm almost sure I tried to order The Village a few days ago and got a message it was no longer available. Surely some of these aren't coming back in stock?

[alfonsosoriano]

I've seen things come back in stock. Blockbuster has a lot of DVDs, I would assume.

[starman9000]

Yeah, 2 things I had wanted were back in stock today.

[Jamezuva]

Thanks for the followup posts regarding my questions. I'm somewhat tempted to get Night Watch but I've promised myself not to buy any more sight unseen movies

[Chad]

Dammit, they sent me the 1-disc Universal version of Traffic instead of the 2-disc Criterion! :mad:

You can't rely on the artwork posted. You have check the details of the disc before adding it to your basket

[Jamezuva]

What's the difference between the cheaper (theatrical) and more expensive (box set) criterions of Fanny and Alexander? I know that the box set includes the theatrical and television plus a making of disc but does the television (longer) version blow away the theatrical? I've never seen either the theatrical or television version before but given the price, I was contemplating buying the cheaper version sight unseen

[brizz]

Fyi...got a reply to my request for inserts and a new F&A cover (also got Kagemusha w/o an insert)...

Hi Brad,

I'd be happy to send you the booklets and wrap for your DVDs. I hope
this helps, and thanks for supporting Criterion!

Best,

JM

YMMV of course...i think it depends on what they have laying around....and I of course made sure to tell him I have dozens of cc's and am a loyal customer of their product.
