Borders - 40% off DVD Boxset Sale or BR members (12/3-12/4)
Just thought I would give everyone an early heads up on this. The coupons will be going out to Borders Rewards members this weekend.
On personal note, This sale will get me The Wire: Season 4 pretty cheap on Tuesday. Hooray!

Bad news: it is $99.99 in store.

Thanks for the heads up. Combined with the 20% Paypal rebate this will be great!

EDIT: Just checked and I'm correct. Borders isn't on the list of participating merchants.

I know that this has been asked before, but I couldn't find the thread:
What classifies an item as a box set? Does it have to be locked up in their case? Would a multi-disc set such as the Hot Fuzz 3 DVD set be considered a box set?
Thanks

Generally speaking, 3 discs plus will do it--there will probably be a clarifying line of some kind (perhaps, hell, "3 discs or more") on the actual coupon tomorrow night (or tonight, whenever they send it).
It's based around a category code (DB) which denotes item category in our inventory system. Unfortunately the latest layout of the BINC sticker (the yellowish and white sticker with the price) does not include the category anymore.

Hot Fuzz is NOT counted as a box set.
I also know that Office S1, as another example, is not either. It's sort of random, but not overly so. Generally it's intended for 3+ discs and at least 2 titles (if you think of episodes as titles as TV goes).

FangsFirst, how about the Universal Hammer Horror Collection? Do you know if Borders considers it a box set? It's only two discs, but it's got 8 movies I think. I've been thinking about picking it up forever and I'll probably just go ahead if it's included in this sale.

They did this last year this same weekend when SNL Season 1 came out, and I tried to get it and of course the store near me didn't have it, and it would have blown any savings by driving to one that did have it.

I'd say it's a fairly safe bet if you get there in the morning they should have them.
Not guaranteeing, mind you..

Moot if not (I only ask because I can't recall seeing it at mine, ever)
But, if so, I will try to remember to check tomorrow.
