Borders $5.99 In-Store Sale (10/11) including Midnight Express 30th AE, Chinatown CE
Borders is having a big sale for one day only in stores. They have about 90 DVDs available for $5.99. I was there and the display wasn't even fully set up with the employee putting sale stickers on the DVDs. He showed me a computer printed list of the titles in the sale.
From memory, the ones that caught my eye:
Midnight Express 30th Anniversary Edition
Chinatown Collector's Edition
The Magnificent Seven Special Edition
Tootsie 25th Anniversary Edition
Tomb Raider - Double Feature
Death Proof
The Quiet Man (John Wayne)
The Music Man (I remember the list had Matthew Broderick listed next to it, but the one on the display was the original musical)
Wayne's World - Double Feature
Death Proof

I got an email from Borders a couple of days ago advertising this sale. It didn't list the titles that are part of the sale - it just has pictures of Labyrinth (the old version), The Quiet Man, and Clueless - and it also says there are more than 90 titles in store to choose from.

Went to mine and picked up Midnight Express (off the shelf) and it rang up at $5.99

Too bad it's only a one-day sale - no way I could get there. Maybe another store will have a similar sale on these sometime soon. That seems to happen pretty often.

Oh well, glad a few folks were able to scamper over to Borders on Saturday to pick something up.

The notice was part of the problem. However, the bigger problem was the advertisement as someone pointed out earlier indicated 90+ titles at $5.99 with pictures of 3 of 'em. If there had been a list of some of the titles included it would have drawn even more interest.
