Online selection. Use coupon code BTJ7933K. Limit of 2 items.

Now I know Borders prices are notoriously high, but this is also good on Criterions (none online). For those of you that can't wait for the B&N sale, here's your half-off Criterions.

Is there a coupon for this in-store? I would like to do this.

There was no coupon in the email. I'm guessing it's automatic when they scan your rewards card.

I'm guessing that, too. But, I have printed off the e-mail that I got and bringing it in.

Re: Borders 50% off (list price) any Blu-ray in store (select online)

Thanks for the heads up, OP.

But I ran down a few titles in my wishlist and even with the coupon, I could only find 3 items which are lower than I've found before:

Chuck: The Complete 2nd Season ($33.50)
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince ($12.50)
Kevin Smith Box Set ($41.50)

These aren't quite low enough for my own tastes (especially with CA's high sales tax). But I thought that I point out these prices if anyone else is interested.

I walked over to the Borders across from my office; forgotten how slim their stock is since the inventory purge from last year.

Nothing really caught my eye.

A few OK deals for folks trying to find something in-store:
  • A Star is Born (Digibook) -- $17.50 after discount
  • U2 360˙ at The Rose Bowl -- $13.50 after discount
  • Dr Horrible's Sing-Along-Blog -- $9.99 after discount

Don't they have a Planet Earth/Life (UK) bundle in stores?

Yes, I saw a couple of copies in the glass cases at my Borders, so YMMV.

Adding this code online, takes away the free S&H ... UGH

Only if it brings your total to under $25. Free shipping is on orders of $25 or more.

I had to laugh at the 40.99 list price of some of the titles.

"Selected" discs online-- none of mine were available for the 50% discount. Boo. And I think my local library has a better selection than the local Borders. Pathetic.

I just came back from there and the one they have is Life (w/ Oprah) and Planet Earth (w/ Attenborough). It's deceiving because the front of the box says "Narrated by David Attenborough" and theres the price sticker over "& Oprah Winfrey." They had Planet Earth for $50 AC and Life for $35 AC. Not worth it to me. Didnt really see anything worthwhile, also the selection was really lacking.

Hot Tub Time Machine - $20 AC
Dr. Horrible - $10 AC

Although that is currently a great price on HTTM, you know it will be cheaper at Target or BB in a month or so. But for anyone who wants it right away, that's the best I've seen by far...

I know, what a joke, huh? Pretty sad when prices are still cheaper elsewhere after 50% discount.

It seems like they are marking up the items just to have them in their 50% off sale. The few I was interested in only came to about 20 bucks after discount.. no thanks.

I got the Man Who Fell to Earth Criterion Blu-Ray. Not bad for ~$21.

Me too. Also got Chungking Express. They had a few other Criterions as well, but I already had them. I may go check out another local Borders tomorrow. Was glad to find Man Who Fell to Earth since it's out of print now.

I had a gift card to burn before they go under or stop selling movies, so went ahead and picked up the Ray Harryhausen BD boxset for $50 ($15 out of pocket). Fits nicely with the current Challenge too!

CA sales tax of slightly more than $3. Still, I've been looking for "Life" for a couple of weeks. Delivered for less than $40 suits me fine.

Thanks to the OP for this heads up.

I think I'm done, but just curious, anyone try more than two? Multiple transactions?

I can't get the code to work on-line for any of the titles people have mentioned here.
