^ Dropping Criterions? Some stores will be dropping their whole durn Movie & Music section! This has echos of Borders when they did the same thing. Just how big of a space do they need for Nook??? Another sign of the apocalypse for physical media.

I really hope my local store isn't one of the stores dropping Criterions. That's a drag that the sale will apparently end one day before 12 Angry Men. Looks like I'll only be buying 2 titles then. I remember buying as many as 16 during previous sales. It feels sort of weird having everything I want - not a sensation I'm used to!

Prices online are the same or better than in store. That said not being able to use coupons multiple times in store and losing the 10% membership discount will suck. Hopefully they will Allow coupons on ship to home items.

I have to admit I never see the video section at B&N crowded. It probably is better
If they try something that will generate more cash. Not sure the Nook will do that.

Coupons and the member discount usually result in lower prices in-store than on-line, at least for the Criterion sales, which are the only times I set foot in their stores anyway.

Some (most?) stores in the Puget Sound area (Federal Way, Southcenter, Tacoma) haven't had a Movie & Music section for a LONG time.

I agree that really sucks, hopefully I can identify the stores that keep their Movies and Music since the only two sections I ever go into are the Movie/Music section and the Bargain Books section (unless I am trying to find the bathroom). But I don't think this is another sign of the apocalypse for physical media. This is a bad decision by Barnes and Noble motivated by the fact that we are probably among the very few that buy any media from B&N. For most of us including myself, I only buy during big sales or their yearly Criterion one.

I think this is a bad decision for bargain hunters like us, I don't necessarily think it is a bad decision for B&N if the square footage devoted to media is not generating enough income for them.

This sounds more like an argument for why it may be a good decision on their part.

I work in a B&N music and movies department, and I have to say that thinking that we are the only type of people that buy anything there is completely false. In my time working there I've figured out that a vast majority of people don't really know how to shop and find bargains; most of the time they don't know and/or care how much media at most places cost. These people are usually just relieved to find the title they are looking for and pay any price for it.

The reason the prices on media never drop at B&N is that most people will pay anything for the items they are looking for.

Next week before the 40% sale ends?

If it is like the usual coupons probably not until Thursday. Maybe Wednesday if I can find them early if there are new ones.

Hi, I just enrolled in BN membership. I'm trying to purchase CC titles, but I do not see the 10% discount not even when I'm at last checkout page, where you place the order. I could apply a 10% coupon discount, but can't seem to find the membership discount. Isn't it automatic when you're logged in, or do I have to do anything else?

Appreciate a lot any help. Thanks.

PS: I'm in Brazil, but as discount is on the item not on the shipping, I believe this does not matter.

Sorry to say, B&N dropped the membership discount for online orders some time ago.

It was replaced with "free express shipping", which probably won't be of any use to you in Brazil.

It's barely of any use to me in the U.S. - I ordered a couple of titles eight days ago and they still haven't arrived. In fact, the tracking info hasn't even been updated in three days. I'd hate to see what their non-express shipping is like, it's probably in DD territory.

Is this dhl/usps smartmail? Those take forever. I have to admit though I've gotten the past few orders via UPS in a week and I'm happy about that change. With dhl/smartmail, those shipments used to take a month or more.

Thanks for the info! Then I'll probably cancel it before they charge me!

Looks like this is coming later in the week if you have a membership and a Mastercard. Also saw some information for Nook coupons.

I was hoping that B&N would maintain their media sections for longer. There are so few options these days. Really, next to none and their stores have a decent section.

If you cannot do in-store pickup on an item (button is not there to click) does that usually mean they don't carry it in-store and only online?

"10% off your entire order ONLINE, enter coupon code Y3Y7P3C at checkout. The 10% discount will be applied to all eligible items in your cart. Pre-orders are not eligible with this offer. This coupon is valid from August 29, 2011 to September 13, 2011 at 2:59 a.m. Eastern Time."

Code expired this morning. Its been a long time since we haven't had a 10% off everything coupon. A shame the 30% off coupon starts the day after the 40% off blu ray sale ends.

I would say probably not but you could still call a local store to verify they don't have it to make absolutely sure. Sometimes I have found some items they said were out of stock and went to the store to find out they had it.

I have tried several times to get the new 10% code today but it is still not available. I have found a 10% member code but it works with only one item.

Depending when and if I can find the 30% coupon it is possible it might be available before the sale ends. Often online coupons start working about 24 hours before the official start date.
