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

doctorthodt · 10-27-09, 02:31 PM

Starting on November 10, Barnes and Noble will be running their 50% off Criterion promotion for 2 weeks, according to multiple B&N employees.

Sale will occur online and in-store, but you can get them cheaper in-store than you can online if you are a B&N member. Here's how:

The list price for most Criterion DVD's and Blu-Rays is $40
The 50% off sale drops them to $20
Your 10% membership discount drops them to $18
And finally, this $5 coupon drops them to $13:

(thanks to LASERMOVIES)

(If the list price is $30, the 50% sale/10% member discount/$5 coupon will drop the price to $8.50)
The coupon can be used multiple times as long as your local B&N employees aren't sticks in the mud.

Remember, IT PAYS TO BE A B&N MEMBER, especially during this sale.
Not only that, but if you want to purchase a membership and just use it during this sale, you can get a full refund for your membership within the first month.

Happy hunting!

Oh great, exactly what I need -- another round of this.

I'm a frugal guy for the most part, but this sale was absolute hell on my wallet a few months ago.

Justinmilkman87 · 10-27-09, 02:42 PM

Awesome, thanks for the heads up. Sucks you can only use the coupon for one DVD/Blu-ray though, hopefully you can just keep printing them out and each trip use it again haha.

I will be getting a membership soon, cannot pass up this deal. Criterion's, here I come!

alfonsosoriano · 10-27-09, 02:48 PM

I gotta try and stay away. Maybe grab one or two titles I'm dying to have, that's it. Hahah...

That's what a lot of people, myself included, did last time. I must have used that coupon about 12 times during the last Criterion sale.

Nice. Looks like I will be doing the same. I cannot believe these Crits are going to be so cheap. Think Christmas time will bring a BOGO for Criterion's?

Mike UFC · 10-27-09, 03:15 PM

Well, that'll make a dent on my Criterion Collection wishlist. Thanks for the heads up, OP!

biglou114 · 10-27-09, 03:21 PM

Money is much tighter this time around, but I shall be picking up Breathless and The Golden Age of Television. I'll think about others if something else takes my fancy.

RequiemX · 10-27-09, 04:15 PM

Oh my. This will be dangerous to my bank account.

sleepyhead55 · 10-27-09, 04:26 PM

Yesss! I'll probably pick up Homicide and maybe Wings of Desire or Metropolitan. Too bad they moved back the Release date for A Christmas Tale.

Sweet Baby James · 10-27-09, 05:12 PM

And I was just about to pull the trigger on Monsoon Wedding Blu-ray. Thanks for the heads-up.

asianxcore · 10-27-09, 05:41 PM

DOH!!

Thanks OP!

JoeySeven · 10-27-09, 06:03 PM

Thanks Op.
Might drop a bill or 2.

Sondheim · 10-27-09, 06:15 PM

And I'm actually going to have some money this time around.

Ugh.

filmsoncon · 10-27-09, 07:20 PM

Damn thing expires two days before "Gommorah" and "The Golden Age of Television" drop.

Oh well. I'll grab "Homicide" and "Z".

zombeaner · 10-27-09, 07:47 PM

Holy crap. I wonder if they'll still have stock of The Third Man by then...

Considering its $35 right now, I'd suspect so.

jiggyblau · 10-27-09, 08:10 PM

So, will Amazon match again? Thanks for the heads up on this sale.

The Blu ray is cheaper though, strangely. I placed an order with Amazon for it anyway. If BN still has it, I may order one for future consideration....

You're right. I was assuming it was at that price since a lot of the $40 Criterion DVDs were $35, but they're all sitting at $31.99 right now.

BuckNaked2k · 10-27-09, 09:15 PM

Last Days of Disco for me!

GenPion · 10-27-09, 09:34 PM

No!!! My money!!!

I'm only going to get Monsoon Wedding, Pierre Le Fou, and Kagemusha (all on Blu-ray) if I can help myself.

Pizza · 10-27-09, 10:04 PM

I just told the bad news to my wallet. Since it was Criterions, it understood.
Thanks OP.
