I'm so totally getting the Agnes Varda Criterion set.

Sparrow

Well, if you're going to so get 4 by Agnes, I must get a better bargain on the Postwar Kurosawa set and Aganes as well. I used some serious GCs at Amazon.com, but could use my GCs at B&N and come out ahead!

Thanks for the heads up!

I'm pretty sure you meant Borders. I'm in the same boat - had some Borders gift cards to use online through Amazon, but this coupon makes a few sets I wanted cheaper in the store.

I almost never shop at Borders. The coupon says you need a Borders rewards card is that somethingyou sign up for the year for a fee or just a free frequent buyer card?

Borders doesn't match their online price right?

Can't recommend that Borders exclusive Miyazaki boxset enough for $121.00 + tax. Sure, the video quality is a little wonky on Castle in the Sky and Kiki's Delivery Service, but for that amount of change it's completely worth it just to own all those pieces of work.

From this thread ...

It is a free card.

And you don't even have to carry the card. They can pull up your info with a phone number or email address.

What constitutes a box set? Would the Hot Fuzz 3-disc set qualify?

IIRC, the last time this sale happened, it was something of a YMMV. There was at least one report of an employee manually applying a discount when she thought that the item in question should have rung up with a discount, even though it didn't; there were more reports of the computer not considering an item as a boxed set, when it obviously was, and the employee (and manager) siding with the computer.

Planet Earth (Blu Ray) for $61 works for me.

Cosmic Bus

That's what I wanted to pick up, but we didn't get any copies.

Not sure there's really anything else I'm definitely after at the moment... The two others I had in mind (Seinfeld ssn9 or the Extras complete boxset) are a tiny bit cheaper with this coupon than online, but I feel like they'll be even cheaper online in the near future, especially Seinfeld.

DirkBelig

Do TV series like Freaks and Geeks qualify and what would the price be? 40% off MSRP as in $70 - 40% ($28) = $42+tax?

I picked up Extras: The Complete Series for $30. Not bad.

Walker Boh

It's listed on page 4 of the list that the coupon email links to. Print it up when you print the coupon just in case you have any trouble. http://beta.bordersstores.com/online...ew_dvdboxsets4

Looks right to me.

too much

On the last 40% off sale, I tried to get Hot Fuzz (3 disc) and they said no. The employee was quick to point out that they considered Hot Fuzz a "special edition" and that TV shows were the "box sets" that were on sale. Oh, I see...

Short Answer: No dice for me

I was able to use the coupon in Louisville, KY today on the Criterion 3-disc Special Edition of Seven Samurai without any problems. Apparently different stores have different definitions of what constitutes a box set.

Went to pick up the Ford at Fox: Essential John Ford set today for $29.99 plus tax. Didn't have any problems, although I was surprised that the person who opened up the DVD case had to hold on to the set and accompany me all the way to the cashier.

FangsFirst

Hey! I have a friend at one of those stores! (or had, I'm not sure if he's still with the company...)

Every store has the same computer definition for box set though. They are coded in our inventory system as "DVD Box Set" ("DB") instead of plain "DVD" ("DV").

Now, these things are entered by hand, so sometimes a cashier or manager may feel they made a mistake or that they are willing to pass it through, but the baseline is the same everywhere.

Seven Samurai has always (as a 3 disc, at least) been coded DB.

dx23

Yes, Hot Fuzz 3 disc qualifies as a boxset.

bhauge

I would try again with another cashier. I got this the last time they had the 40%-off box set sale. I was led to believe that any title with 3 or more discs would be considered a "box set".

Ravid

How'd you swing that? Ford at Fox has an MSRP of like $300.

Cardsfan111

You're referring to something different -- There's a 21 disc Collection listing for about $300. There's a 6 disc set listing at $49.99. If you go to Amazon.com and search for Ford at Fox, you'll see the listings for both items come up, along with a few other smaller Ford at Fox collections.

Picked up El Cid Limited Edition for 23.99 + tax using coupon.

BigShemp

Looked up the Yojimbo/Sanjuro set but no Borders in LA seems to carry it :-(
