DVDPlanet has them at $19.47 for the $29.95 titles, and $25.76 for the $39.95 titles. So you save about a quarter buying them from the DDD sale this year, whereas in November, you saved at least $3 a piece, if not more.. I think they were about $17.25 and $23.00 respectively back then.

Like I said previously, I'll probably order a handful, but not $600 worth like I did last sale.

I'm glad this sale is going to coincide with the release of the Dread Pirate Roberts/Buttercup editions of The Princess Bride... so at least one more order!

I think I should note from the audit thread... nothing went up in price between the start of that thread and my buying today.

Scarface83

Well its people like you no offense that are a reason why the prices went up.

A ton of people went crazy and bought criterions last sale, so DDD did the smart business move by jacking it up.

Ouch. That hurts. I got my main wants for this sale with the Kurosawa and Hitchcock Collections. I still have plenty of stuff I want on my wishlist, but I'm thinking of maybe making this my one and only order this time around. I narrowed down the movies I wanted by quite a bit. Maybe if certain items of mine go out of stock, then I might make on final order in the last couple of days, but other than that I think I'm set.

Still, for a couple bucks, I'm not going to complain. A lot of these Criterions were those prices earlier in the year anyway when DDD had them on sale, so I can't really blame them for raising the prices on them a bit. Still, I think that it's a great deal overall for them.

ernestrp

I'am still pissed about my Fox Film Noirs being listed as backorders even though they have 2 in-stock and Boomerang was cancelled. I guess I will have to phone them sometime.

justbarelymovin

Are you serious? The prices went back up a long time ago. They made it clear that sale was going to be for a limited time only.

It's also people like us that inspire these kinds of sales regularly.

Looks like Dazed & Confused: Criterion is the big purchase.

Will surely make another order, seems silly to go after stuff that will surely go down (major studio wide releases) during weekly or studio sales (B2G1)

Might make another order after Tuesday, and I'm disappointed I couldn't get a couple anime items from Media Blasters, but on the whole I'm pleased.

Also to note: the 30% borders coupons will render similar prices on criterions in store.

Yeah, but the other 2 titles are still listed as backorder for me too.

Eric F

Must not buy...must...not...buy...ARGH!!!!

And I plan to buy a Blu-Ray player this year too.

bboisvert

Yes, but that doesn't explain why the two other titles ordered with it (which are apparently both in stock) are showing up as backordered on everyone's orders.

If the title is cancelled, it should simply be removed from the order, and the remaining (in stock) titles should ship. That isn't happening with many people's orders. And the phone reps (especially 'Donna' apparently) are rude and unhelpful.
