Re: Criterion Blu-ray Sale at Amazon

Can't hurt to send them an e-mail, but it's part of their pre-order price guarantee that you are entitled to the difference refunded to you.

I've had this happen to me a few times and I've always gotten the difference refunded without having to ask. It might take a day or two to process though.

I just checked my email and there's no notice of a refund. If nothing happens by tomorrow, I'll send an email.

Usually I don't get my notifications until the day after the release. I think they look at the whole day of release to decide what to refund.

I got the Naked Kiss, Shock Corridor and The Double Life of Veronique. My wishlist took quite a hit.

Picked up Le Cercle Rogue. Had been eying that one even though I already have the standard. Melville is one of my all-time favorites. Next we need Le Samourai on Blu!

Oh well, life goes on.
I did the same thing - called Amazon and they credited me back the $8 difference without question.

Re: Criterion Blu-ray Sale at Amazon

How long is this sale on for? I'm getting 8-1/2 now, but really want Blow Out, but would like to save 94 cents via Gold Box. Any secrets on triggering it? Look at it and then not buy it? Put it in the cart than take it out for later or delete outright?

No idea how long it will last, but I've noticed that when I have a pre-order or out of stock item ordered for a while, and then cancel said order, the item often appears in the Gold Box quickly. Only problem with this is that the item could go up in price before you cancel it and wait for it to appear.

On another note, amazon obviously got lit up with this sale. Their stock appears to be cleaned out on all but a handful of the sale titles.

Don't fret. It's a heck of deal for $23 and you can get that back later should you decide you don't like.

Re: Criterion Blu-ray Sale at Amazon

Picked up The Naked Kiss and Shock Corridor this morning. Luckily I did because The Naked Kiss is now $10 more!

Also, I contemplated getting Blow Out but opted out of that. It seems like most people here are picking it up. Is it really that good?

Hmmmm...perhaps some of these prices will disappear faster than expected. I was a good boy and restrained myself to only one title. I am tempted to get one or two more...

EDIT: Just checked it...the higher price is from a third party seller fulfilled by amazon, since that's what they have in stock right now. This can still be backordered for $17.99 by looking under "New" in the marketplace.

Just noticed something...the link to Army of Shadows at the beginning of this thread goes to the DVD version. If anybody ordered through that link, you might want to double check and make sure you got the BD, assuming that's what you want. (Both are on sale for $17.99).

Thanks for correcting that! I hadn't noticed that at first.

If you're into conspiracy thrillers, it's one of the better ones. You get a second full-length film as well, also in HD.

Exactly. Why would they send out the email before the pre-order guarantee period is up?

Re: Criterion Blu-ray Sale at Amazon

Just bought Le Cercle Rouge Blu on Thursday @ 27.99. Tried to plea with customer service to grant me partial refund, no go. Solution - shipping it back, to order at $18.99. Ridiculous.
