OOP Notorious Criterion at B&N plus 40% off Oscar Winners
Okay, so I’m browsing through Barnes and Noble online spending my gift cards when I come across… Notorious??? They list it at $33.98 for non-members and $30.58 for members. Shipping is free. Now, I know this is probably an error but I ordered it anyway. The worst that could happen is that they’ll tell me it was a mistake and I’ll cajole them into giving me a $10 gift certificate for my mental anguish. I’ll let you know what happens.
By the way, there are some pretty good 40% off deals on most major Oscar winners (Best Picture, Actress, Actor, Supporting Actor, Supporting Actress, Director), especially if you’re a member. I picked up the following:
(Note – these are all member prices)
Ben-Hur (4-Disc CE) $21.58
Gladiator (3-Disc EE) $21.58
Hamlet Criterion $16.18
Chicago (2-Disc Razzle-Dazzle) $16.18
Titanic (3-Disc SE) $16.18
Chariots of Fire (2-Disc SE) 14.56
Deer Hunter (2-Disc SE) 14.56
The Sting (2-Disc SE) 14.56
West Side Story (2-Disc Collector’s Box) $16.18
The sale ends March 13.

Hamlet's a decent deal as well. Didn't even think to check any OOP Criterions. Good luck with that.
This Barnes and Noble Oscar Winners sale was previously discussed, but I can't find the thread.

That's absolutely correct, but many of us (myself included) don't buy from eBay for various reasons, and this is the first time I've seen this item available in a while from any of the online dealers, making it a good deal considering the free shipping and B&N reliability. Plus, eBay doesn't accept B&N gift cards, which some people have and which I used to buy the aforementioned DVDs. Hopefully, it's not an error.

Sorry to hear that, Movieman. Mine shows an expected shipping date of March 13. If they don't have any or don't ship by then (which they probably won't) I'll go into gift certificate mode. Hopefully it will be worth 10 bucks for them to get me off their back :-).
