Just picked up Rosemary's Baby, In the Mood For Love, and pre-ordered the Qatsi Trilogy and Rashomon. Nice light haul this time around.

so you can pre-order the December titles? cause I really want the Qatsi Trilogy (... and 'Brazil'). The lady over at the Bethesda store was all in a tizzy since I guess the store wasn't open Monday or Tuesday due to Sandy and the new release... i.e, 'Rosemary's Baby' wasn't put out yet...

Thanks to whomever suggested pricematching at Best Buy. Our B&N has been sold out of Rosemary's Baby since it came out this week, and I really wanted to watch it on Halloween. Went to BB, found it in stock, pricematched with my phone in just a few minutes, and went home with it tonight. Perfect Halloween Blu-Ray watching.

Since I'm pinching corners due to that Alfred Hitchcock set from the UK, I had to slow my roll on the CC titles. I did get a couple of the $14.99 ones (they're usually $19.99 all the time) to fill in some gaps in my collection. I scooped up FIVE titles for about $93 with tax shipped for free.

Rosemary's Baby
Charade
The Makioka Sisters
Identification of a Woman
Being John Malkovich

BTW, was there ever an answer as to whether B&N charges you immediately for pre-orders or do they charge you upon shipping? Like Amazon?

They put a temporary hold on your account, the charge drops off within 4-5 days, they then charge upon shipping.

the website has been down for at least a half an hour for me. everytime I try updating my address it keeps coming back with:

We are sorry...

Our system is temporarily unavailable due to routine maintenance. We apologize for any inconvenience during this outage and expect our systems to return shortly. Thank you for your patience.

My order finally went through. But I had to cheat the system in order to do it. What a fucked up website.

My haul:

The Adventures of Antoine Doinel
La Bete Humaine
The White Sheik
Kagemusha (Blu)
Something Wild (Blu)
Stagecoach (Blu)
The Game (Blu)

I find the whole B&N website all wonky when I do it through Chrome, I had to do my order through Internet Explorer - I don't know if that helps, but you could try it.

Are you guys receiving email confirmation of your orders?

I haven't seen mine yet and it's been over 12 hours.

I have not and the order hasn't shown up in my account info either. It's a BN error and not a user error as there are others that are in the same boat.

I too, am also on this boat you speak of. No notification yet. In fact, I'm a little worried because I keep checking the order history and it's not on there either.

I placed an order 24 hours ago, and I still have no confirmation email, and it is not showing up in my Order History.

I emailed customer service 12 hours ago, and contacted them on their customer service Twitter account, have not heard anything from either of those sources, either.

They've been having various problems with their site. I placed five orders yesterday, none of which shows up in my order history. I also placed one order this morning, and that one shows up. Hopefully the orders from yesterday show up eventually.

Same here. My order is not on their website (haven't gotten an e-mail) and the money has not been deducted from my bank account either.

So I order Gimme Shelter at $19.99. Drop in the Spooky Surprise Code and get 50% off! $9.99 price! Click on Place Order and the screen is redirected to the B&N home page. No sign of order. Try to re-order but now the system says the coupon has been redeemed! Call B&N who says that redeemed coupon means that order went thru. Nothing shows on my account nor have I received an e-mail. Has this happened to anyone else?

EDIT: Upon reading this thread, this has obviously happened to others. I'll have to watch my credit card statement I guess.
