To celebrate, when we hit 50,000 Facebook fans, we'll post a promo code for 50% off all in-stock DVDs and Blu-rays at Criterion.com, but get ready -- the code will only be valid for 50,000 seconds!

The promo hasnt been postd yet...and their site has crashed...

I don't think there's a rush if that's right. If my math is right, 50,000 seconds is around 13 hours (5000 seconds is about 83 minutes).

I'm having a lot of fun watching the site crash and posting comments on Facebook about it. Good times.

50% of Criterions... what?

But seriously though, good catch! Having checked out their Facebook page, I'd guess that they're probably not as likely to run a half day sale in the middle of the night as maybe first thing in the morning. But stranger things have happened.

Hah! Shows what I know!

adrenaline78

just what I need.. another excuse to spend $



"And we're back! Take 50% off all in-stock Blu-ray and DVD titles for the next 50,000 seconds using the promo code THANKS. Enjoy!"

Ravenous

Do we need facebook to get the discount? All Id even buy Darjeering and Cronos

I hate that you have to spend 50 bucks to get free shipping. Otherwise its 6 bucks shipping if you buy one blu

adrenaline78

I went to get "Che" entered the code and it didn't give me 50% off. Half of 39.95 is not 24.95.. Anyhow It's free shipping with $50 of the order. Otherwise it's around 6$ for one title.

vichyfrance

The MSRP is actually $50.00 for CHE

adrenaline78

They have it listed at 39.95.. but I guess that would make sense then.

Ravenous

Yea no good for me, I really just want Cronos so Ill wait till that B&N sale next year

Does anybody know if they hold your order if you order a preorder with instock items?

Harold Chasen

FYI, I was able to place a second order using the code, so it doesn't look like it's a one-use only deal.

TheySentYou

dammit. so tempting.... BUT.. i'll have to pass.

Thanks Dex! Picked up:

The Wages of Fear
Roberto Rossellini's War Trilogy

The war trilogy is a blind buy for me, so I hope I made a good choice!

mdnitoil

Thanks for the head's up. Was able to hit the $50 mark pretty easily.

jewellrunner

Not being half off their listed price is misleading. Still some good deals to be had, but nothing like I had hoped.

I tried but most of the things that I placed in my cart are out of stock, especially the brand new releases. (Hmm.) I get to keep my money.

greylocke5

Lucky for me I keep strange hours. I saw this sale mentioned over at Home Theater Forum around 4 a.m. and ordered (no blu's):

Senso
Sweet Smell of Success
Ride With the Devil
3 Silent Classics of Von Sternberg
Pandora's Box
Threepenny Opera

ReduxGuy

I ordered The Blob, My Own Private Idaho and Walkabout.

davidh777

Hmm, Charade, Night Train to Munich, and Make Way for Tomorrow are all still in stock and would get me to around $50, but I think I don't want to spend the $ right now.

Al_Tahoe

No need to agonize... the sale is over.

davidh777

Yeah, I just checked the thread in the BD bargains forum and realized that. So no harm, no foul.

ResIpsa

I suppose I have been spoiled by the B&N sales since I didn't feel compelled to order anything, although the fact that half of the titles I wanted were out of stock also helped me resist.

smurr05

All I want is the updated anamorphic version of Shock Corridor so I'll wait for B&N $ale as well-
