Re: Criterion Blu-ray Sale at Amazon

Although not listed on the original post as such, both M and The Seventh Seal are priced at $17.99.

Ordered The Seventh Seal and it's shipping soon. Might have it tomorrow if I'm lucky. Tossed in a pre-order of Barry Lyndon for good measure. (I have some GC credit to burn...wooo!)

EDIT: Whoops...I see someone posted the $17.99 prices further on in the thread...

Re: Criterion Blu-ray Sale at Amazon

Not a frequent poster, but I picked up the seven movie set of America Lost and Found: The BBS Story for $52 (down from $125). It contains the following movies: Head, Easy Rider, Five Easy Pieces, Drive, He Said, The Last Picture Show, The King of Marvin Gardens and A Safe Place

Awesome box set and a great price. I paid about $10 more during a B&N sale period and thought it was worth every penny!

Re: Criterion Blu-ray Sale at Amazon

Nice! With B & N dropping the $5 coupon, these may be the lowest prices we'll find. I ordered Senso, Sweet Smell, and Amarcord. The BBS set is a hell of a deal for $52.

Edit: Also ordered the Dearden set. At $22.49, it's roughly the same price it would be with an $8 off coupon during the sale. The Naruse set would be cheaper during the sale though, so I'm holding off on that one. I wish Videodrome or pre-orders were included, but you can't have everything.

Decent sale to keep us satiated until the July B&N sale.

I hear you. Looking at it as paying about $7.50 a film for Criterion quality blu-rays that I would have likely paid much more for separately is what pushed me over the edge. That and the fact that I already picked up Blow Out from the Criterion site's 50% off sale.

Re: Criterion Blu-ray Sale at Amazon

I ordered Modern Times and Blow Out. I am on the fence about Yojimbo/Sanjuro, since I have the dvd set. But if I traded it in to Amazon it would give me $15.75 in credit and it would only be $13 out of pocket.

Re: Criterion Blu-ray Sale at Amazon

Went with:

Senso
Fish Tank
Amarcord
White Material
Le Cercle Rouge

Senso and Fish Tank were both in my Gold Box, otherwise I probably wouldn't have bought them.

Re: Criterion Blu-ray Sale at Amazon

I wanted to make it through the day without caving in to a deal but I couldn't pass this by. With the death of the B&N $5 coupon, this is as good as their 50% deal when you consider not having to pay tax. I bought:

Amarcord
Blow Out
Le Cercle Rouge

And a non Blu:

Re: Criterion Blu-ray Sale at Amazon

I ordered Blow Out (grouped it with a pre-order of Deep Red for free shipping)

Depending on how long this sale lasts, I'll see how well I can behave in not spending money I shouldn't.

SON OF A BITCH. I pre-ordered Blow Out from Amazon a month ago and it shipped already (probably arrive today)...and you slackers get it for $8 cheaper.

Oh well, life goes on.

They should automatically refund you the price difference on an item if the price drops no later than release day.

Re: Criterion Blu-ray Sale at Amazon

I've gotten Amazon to refund my money when a price drop was the Tuesday release date, I'd send an e-mail over, couldn't hurt - that is a pretty big difference.
