I think I bought the last copy from BN.com. It went out of print in October or November of 2009 but I found the SD available for order from BN in January. As soon as I placed my order it was no longer available. I really wanted the BD but it was already too late.

Ah ... So you're the one! Sorry, didn't catch your address, home number, and household composition ...

I reported the start date of July 20th. I'm a Barnes & Noble employee. The info trickled down from higher up. I haven't heard about an end date but my guess would be August 2nd.

Thanks! Sounds like you have a reliable source. Think you are also probably correct about the end date. Last years sale ended August 3rd.

Any idea about coupons that might stack with the expected Criterion sale during the July 20th timeframe? ...or is it too early to tell?
I checked the Barnes and Noble coupon thread and didn't see anything yet (btw thanks Lastermovies for maintaining that thread). The coupons last year made the deal.

And for some reason, one of the codes allowed me to use it multiple times. Like, 12 times.

Really? So you were getting $40 titles for $13? I'll have to keep checking back here during the sale......it will save me some runnin' around. Also, one store near me has a real douche-bag who works in the media department, and only allows 1 coupon.

It won't work online. The problem is $39.99 list Criterion titles are reduced to $19.99 online during the sale. The coupon will only work with DVDs that have a online price of $20 or more.

Thanks for the replies guys I don't live in the US so I'm hoping to pick up some good bargains online, if applicable. Else I would have to get them during the current DDD sale. For the record I'm eyeing most of the Criterion Blu rays that are out currently.

Really, it is something they can correct with just a few keystrokes prior to the start of the next sale. Let's hope they don't because it would be really disappointing to lose a chance at saving $5 over a penny.

Sorry, I didn't mean to give that impression. Online I used the $5/$5/$5 on boxsets with MSRP > $40. It's particularly good on $45 Eclipse sets, paired with a ~$10 CD (their online CD prices destroy their in-store prices) and then one or two lower-tier Criterions to hit the $50 total mark.

But it's a good opportunity to get Seven Samurai ($49.99 list price) cheap, and some other items like the Yojimbo/Sanjuro box set.

Oh, that's right. I forgot that we've all been really lucky getting away with that "one penny glitch" thus far.

I used the coupon all the time during the last sale. It won't work in the EAH or the Red Ballon or White Mane disc, because those are priced under $20. But all the $29.99 and $39.99 discs will.

The coupon says "The $5 off will be applied to (1) DVD, of the Member's choice, with a minimum B&N selling price of $20 - and will be deducted after all other discounts, including the standard Member discount, are applied. The B&N Selling Price is the price at the cash register before taxes and discounts, including the standard Member discount, are applied."
At one point I had the head manager and she basically seemed to concede that 50% off was the best she'd give me because these were premium items with mark-up already obliterated.
YMMV - I was able to get 1 cleark at 1 store to honor coupon and she got suspicious when I had more than 1 and cut me off.
