Got Idi Amin Dada: Self Portrait doc from CC. Never knew CC released this....

why doesn't the title of this thread give dvdplanet a little credit too?
everyone is ordering from dvdplanet and not DDD because of coupons and FB points.
perhaps a little "DDD/dvdplanet criterion sale" would be more informative in the title so you don't have to read through the thread to know the sale is at more than one vendor- and you can use coupons.
no, i do not work for dvdplanet!


i've placed hundreds of orders thru dvdplanet and if the title is IN STOCK, my credit card is charged immediately- even though it might take up to 3 days for them to ship it (if you don't use a premium shipping method).

When I started the thread, DVD Planet did not have them on sale.

obviously, but a moderator can change it.
and btw, thanks for the heads up!

I just wanted to say it seems like DD changed a bunch of their prices. I know Asphalt and Warning Shadows were more than 14.38 each a few days ago. I also know Red, Blue, and White, were each cheaper than 9.44 a few days ago.

It's interesting that DVDPlanet coupon scales are opposite of most stores. Others structure coupons to encourage larger purchases, but here the $5 off $50 is the greatest percentage off. I know, it's not a big enough savings to put too much mental energy into trying to put everything into $50 combinations (which doesn't work well with $24 Criterions), but it's just an observation.

Ahh.. good to know. Can you use multiple March codes or do you only get one shot per month?

Thanks!

Edit: I think the previous post answered my question.

what are the coupons for and where can one get them?

DVDPlanet will not let me check out. ARGH.

couldn't find Robocop? maybe its not on sale.

Is it possible to use a DVDPlanet coupon code AND GCO ($10)? I've been sitting on mine, waiting to use it.

I dont think so.

No, the reason is because RoboCop (CC #23) has long been OOP.

It's out of print.

I'm surprised this thread isn't more active. I think everybody was spoiled (and their funds depleted) by the DVDPlanet 20% off and $10 off $30 deals.

They took preorders off sale at dvdplanet which makes it a lot less appealing to me.

"Pandora's Box" is a great "blind buy" for those of you on this board who like silent films. I picked it up a few months ago during the last sale at DDD. Louise Brooks has to be seen to be believed, and Criterion did another one of their great presentations.

Not everyone. I had an incredibly poor experience with my first attempt at ordering from DVDPlanet and won't be ordering from them ever again.

The Paul Robeson set is $20 cheaper at DVD Planet. Shop there!

No! Not even the genius of Paul Robeson can sway me!
