Discontinued 'Rules of the Game' DVD $14 @ Criterion.com

Just got this email:

The Rules of the Game DVD Sale

We will soon be announcing revised Blu-ray and DVD editions of Jean Renoir's masterpiece The Rules of the Game as part of our November lineup—we are replacing one supplement and creating new packaging.

Our original DVD edition will then be officially out of print. However, at this time we are offering it at a 65% discount from the suggested retail price at Criterion.com. (Use the promotion code REGLE at checkout.) We have a limited supply. We will fulfill orders as soon as we can.
After the code, the DVD is $13.98.

Unfortunately the $6 shipping for one item adds too much to the cost (ran into this when they deleted Solaris also, I ended up getting the new edition at N&N 50% off sale for about the same or less).

You should add Plus Shipping in the title, after that its about $20.00 which is far from a deal seeing as Moo stated you'll be able to get the new version on blu for cheaper then that at a future BN sale.

I love Criterion but to charge $6 to ship one DVD is nearly criminal.

I'll only buy at Oldies when I get free ship. they've also had a big price increase in general the last 6 months or so.

They're replacing one supplement? Is that really the only change? I guess I don't pay enough attention but unless there's significant picture improvement, I'll just stick with the old one.

They used to offer free shipping at $50, then $75, now it's gone completely.

I used to buy around 50-75 from them a couple of times a year, but since the high shipping restrictions, I don't bother. The problem with their prices are that some are good, but not great. Often their best priced stuff is clearance stuff that alot of other distributors have as well (and without the high shipping). So I could usually gather enough to warrant a purchase, but now, it's not worth my time.

I think they finally stopped sending me their DVD catalog too.
