Criterion DVD's and Blu-Rays 50% off at Barnes and Noble 11/10 - Page 2

MBoyd · 10-27-09, 11:32 PM

Hmmm . . . I could use a few of those. Playtime and Wings Of Desire certainly. OK, I'm in.

TheySentYou · 10-28-09, 12:14 AM

time to knock out some pricey selections:

Pigs, Pimps, and Prostitutes
The Human Condition
Carl Theodor Dreyer

hopefully that AAA member discount still works too!

My last shipment of Criterions from their last sale never shipped to me....
which included The Seventh Seal and Repulsion DVDs.

I guess now I can upgrade and get the BDs of them from the next sale.

If you guys intend to buy Wings of Desire and/or Howard's End, you might want to reserve copies at your local store soon. Stores usually only get 1 or 2 copies at a time, and employees tend to snatch them up during these sales.

I fear for my wallets safety.

Good news about the sale.

Too bad it ends two days before Gomorrah come out.

I guess that it's about time to get that membership.

Yes. "Z" for me as well.

While I appreciate the comment, greatly in fact, I won't be able to afford that many Criterion's since I'm helping to buy a car this week and will have to spend everything I have financially saved... so I will be paycheck to paycheck for at least a while (meaning I won't be able to spend that much on movies PERIOD). I think I can afford the three I mentioned, but anything else would be pushing my luck at the moment unfortunately. I may grab the Nikkatsu Noir eclipse set too if I can't help myself. That's my limit this time. It'll actually be great if I can get all of those.

And as a side comment, this sale is arriving not that long after the first one. I'm still watching a lot of those Criterions! I honestly doubt I would order as much even if my finances were different.

SomethingMore · 10-28-09, 09:50 AM

Son of a...

There's too many that I want to order. I can't remember of B&N ships to Canada, and how expensive it is... but it still beats the prices here, I'm sure.

Same here. I think I spent over a grand last time. Must resist....

I "only" spent about $300 last time, I think I got most of what I wanted, that being said, it will be a struggle keeping my wallet closed.

beer me · 10-28-09, 12:10 PM

A $39.99 Criterion would drop to $19.99. Wouldn't the coupon (which says $5 off $20) be non-usable since it's a penny less?

I just found the cache of titles I got during the last sale. All still sealed. I am way behind on my dvd watching, and the new television season isnt helping any. Nor is the new sale going to help any.

They tend to be more lenient with that in-store. But it would certainly not qualify online.

No. Read the fine print of the coupon. It's $5 off an item that's $20+ before all discounts are applied.

pgm · 10-28-09, 02:08 PM

Help!! When I go to the site, only a very limited number of titles show up as 50 % off, nearly none of the Criterion titles indicated above. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, how does one negotiate to the legitimate titles?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Kory · 10-28-09, 02:09 PM

11/10, yo. 11/10.

I don't know how you missed the fact that this sale doesn't begin until November 10, but yeah....the sale doesn't begin until November 10.

Classic Films · 10-28-09, 02:14 PM

Is November 24 the last day of the sale or the first day after the sale? Golden Age of TV comes out on the 24th. At $50 MSR, I would love to get this for under $20 with the coupon and extra 10% off for members.

doctorthodt · 10-28-09, 02:25 PM

If it runs exactly 2 weeks then it should end on the 23rd, which is extremely unfortunate considering Gomorrah and the Golden Age of TV come out on the 24th.

Doesn't matter. It's an in-store only coupon.
