(DEAD) 50% of Criterion @ Barnes & Noble - 7/14
I learned today that Barnes & Nobles and BN.com will be having a 50% off Criterion sale from 7/14 - 8/3.
Not sure if this includes their Blu-rays, but I would think so. I'll find out and confirm when I can.
I think they ran this sale or a similar one last year, so I guess it did pretty well for them.

Don't forget B&N has discount links, plus coupons, and free UPS shipping. Could be less than DD for some titles...

It wouldn't be a bad idea to pick up Ran (Kurosawa) and Contempt (Godard) if you don't already own them, since they recently went out of print. My B&N still had both as of last week, although I snagged Contempt as part of the B2G1.

Edit: I'm mistaken. They are oop according to the Criterion website.

Assuming this includes Blu-ray, I'll be picking up the Seventh Seal and possibly Bottle Rocket.

Hmmmm...had no idea that Contempt went out of print. This was listed as one of their (supposedly) first dozen or so BD titles but has never materialized on that format.
I do own Criterion's SD release of the film; it is excellent and loaded with extras so for anyone who wants it and doesn't have it already, now is the time to make your move.
EDIT: Just checked criterionforum.org. As Neil M. said, BD rights are gone, so perhaps this title is disappearing from the collection for a while, if not for good. Carpe diem.

I don't know, but if the sale runs until 8/3, you could pick up Repulsion on the release date and get it on sale.

Another possibly-very-stupid question: Is there any advantage at all in taking advantage of this sale in store rather than online?
