Blade Runner: 30th Anniversary Edition Digibook $9.99 (3 Disc version)

wow! for B&N that is shockingly good.

I just received mine and it came shipped in a polybag. I can't believe they shipped it in that. It was not in pristine condition.

They also have Full Metal Jacket digibook for 14.99. I used an emailed 15 percent coupon before I saw how they shipped Blade Runner.

Yep, that happened before. I ordered Citizen Kane, it came all banged up, it cost me $3 to ship it back to them. I think when you order 1, they use poly. I ordered 3 criterion BDs, they shipped in a cardboard box.

Thanks I ordered one with 15% off code so much to comes to $9.09 shipped

got a 20% off...is there any difference b/w this and that older 5 disc collection from a few years ago ? TIA

Other than the fact that it's only 3 discs and is a digibook?

The contents should be basically the same. The Final Cut BD and the BD with US/International/Director's Cuts should be identical. The main difference is that the Work Print BD and the 2 extras DVD's have all been combined onto one blu ray disc. According to one review I found all the old SD content is still SD but there is apparently a new HD image gallery not on the old set. The old 5 disc set was 3 BDs and 2 DVDs and the new set is 3 BDs. I have the old briefcase set but I'm a sucker for this film and digibooks. So for $8 and change with a 20% coupon, I'll bite.

I think the Work Print version also got its audio upgraded from DD5.1 to DTS-MA.

None in stock at the stores in my area, according to the web site... does B&N even stock movies anymore? Rather than risk a beat-up copy thru the mail, I was able to price match at Frys. Thanks, OP!

Hope that's true. I ordered one with a 15% off and 2 other BDs for free shipping. I don't know if I really want those other BDs, but we'll see .

How many versions of this film are there?

In general? Five:

Workprint Version
Theatrical Version
International Version
Director's Cut
Final Cut

As for blu-ray, the digibook is at least the fifth release (after the limited edition briefcase, 5-disc Collector's Edition, The Final Cut and 30th Anniversary gift set).

Hmm, very tempting, especially with in-store pick-up so close to me. Might have to bite on this, though I haven't really watched my DVD more than once or twice. But the reviews say it looks so good on blu-ray. Hmm...

^ Likely that this offer is only online. With store pick-up, you pay the store price (which, BTW, is probably still $34.99).

Saw this earlier today with a 30% off sale sticker. The regular price was $19.99 so in store it should be $13.99 + tax for those that are interested.

Yeah, I saw that in-store pick-up would end up being $20, which is less than $34.99 but still. And the two stores it listed as having it in stock then said they checked inventory and it's actually not in stock, sorry.

That's still a dollar more than buying it online and paying shipping ($12.97).

I never understood why B&M B&N won't price match its own website. Very frustrating. Any chance of getting Best Buy (perhaps even for in-store pick-up) or Amazon to price match this?

$13.99 at my local BN; wouldn't honor website pricing.

I ordered it last night using a 15% off coupon, $9 and change shipped (I'm a member). If it arrives banged up, I'll try to exchange in-store.

My local B&N still stocks movies. It has a fairly large media area with sections for CDs, TV on DVD, films on DVD, BluRays, and Criterion Collection BluRays. I'm going to swing by this week and see if I can find this, because I don't want to risk damage through shipping.

dont worry..it wont be long before they will be matching EVERY web site price

Well shit. I did the in store hold as well, but I'm not going to waste my time if they won't pricematch their own website. Maybe Amazon will match later this week.

Last night after reading this thread I saw the WB Shop Black Friday in August thread and they have the 5 disc blu-ray set for $16 and change. For just a few dollars more, I went with that instead of the 3 disc digibook.

They didn't have the specs on the 5 disc set so I don't know if it has the thousand or so digital pictures that the 3 disc has but I'd rather have the set I got for a very similar price.

Same here; my B&N has a rather large selection of DVDs and blu-rays, probably twice the size of Best Buy's, but it's mostly deserted. Hardly any people back there shopping or browsing.

Of course, I rarely see people shopping or browsing in the book section, either.

Come to think of it, I have no idea how that place stays open.

By charging MSRP to the suckers who do shop there.
