I wonder if this means I'll finally get my backordered Criterion title - The Lower Depths - from the last sale?

The Valeyard

Time to work on my list. I know Modern Times will definitely be on it.

I just so love this sale but it hurts my wallet. Better get my wishlist in order.

BambooLounge

I love this bi-annual sale...I basically don't buy Criterion discs any other time, so my list is:

• Modern Times
• Seven Samurai
• The Night of the Hunter
• Paths of Glory
• The Magician
• Black Orpheus
• Breathless
• Charade
• House - on the fence
• Crumb - on the fence
• The Thin Red Line
• Darjeeling Limited
• A Christmas Tale (hopefully they have this one in stock this time around)

rabidgoatboy

Darjeeling Limited
Paths of glory
Antichrist
House
Seven Samurai

Cocophone

I see a lot of interest for Darjeeling Limited. I liked that film, but I'm not sure if it will be worth upgrading to a Criterion release.

My short list is:

Charade
The Thin Red Line
Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence
Paths of glory

Possible:
Darjeeling Limited
Woman Under the Influence
Wild Strawberries
Virgin Spring
Under the Volcano
This Sporting Life
Solaris
Seventh Seal

If released on blu-ray
The Ice Storm

I'm reasonably sure this won't be released on Blu-Ray before November

Cocophone

Looks like the Ice Storm was possibly released on Blu-ray in France by Studio Canal

Al_Tahoe

Definite:

Black Orpheus (gift for sister-in-law)
Night of the Hunter
Paths of Glory

Probable:

The Magician
Modern Times
Thin Red Line

Damn....November is gonna be expensive.

I plan to focus on the rest of the remaining DVD & Blu-Ray box sets I don't have. Then, I'll move on the focusing on Blu-Rays and early release DVDs.

If I can keep this under $350, I'll be happy.

While the suggestive titles are interesting, I would like to see verification that B & N will have a November sale and, further, the details, sush as pricing and coupon usage. At the current Mystery sale the on-line offer is a 50% discount, but in store it's 40%.

bse

what the hell are you talking about?

Cocophone

I don't think you are going to get that verification from B&N.

This forum thread is all about idle speculation about a "probable" sale at Barnes and Noble based solely on past history of Barnes and Nobles sales.

I do agree with you that I hope that Barnes and Noble clarifies its coupon usage policies before the next sale.

Laser Movies

Most likely we won't know anything until the sale starts about the coupons. I would at least expect them to have the same policies as the last sale. Probably no coupons will be allowed again online. The big question is will B&N extend the coupon restriction at stores this time.

BuckNaked2k

Also, don't forget during the last sale, there were a few hours at the start when coupons were working online. Then, someone got wise, and shut 'em down. I think it would be wise for those interested to monitor the site again during the first few hours of the next sale to try and take advantage of them napping again.

Cocophone

I didn't have any coupons, but I was able to use the AAA link to get a 10% discount

CardiffGiant

I think this is actually something to hope against (from a consumer standpoint). It's very unlikely that Barnes and Noble would clarify by stating, "feel free to use coupons in addition to the 50% off." But, no clarification would still allow for usage of coupons in some (seemingly many) locations.

Either way, I see them as a good deal; my frustration with the recent sale was that the price in store was cheaper than online for B&N members. The changes in member policies have me seriously considering whether or not I want to renew my membership.

I just looked at the the titles that I'd like to get and the list is already way too long. It's good to hear that the whispers are already starting about another sale though.

I really hope that Amazon does some matching this time 'round.

Nate the Great

I just found out the one title that I was most interested in getting - "Harakiri" - is OOP. Sucks.

Undeadcow

Was there another announcement from Criterion about a spree of titles going OOP? I hadn't heard anything about Harakiri being OOP so if true that's a surprise.

Edit: It seems backordered on Barnes & Noble online and Amazon does not have any new copies for sale but Harakiri is still up for sale on the Criterion Collection website. Google searching I can't find any reference to it being OOP.

tholly

Where did you hear that? It is not listed as OOP anywhere that I see.

Nate the Great

I was compiling my wish list price guide, and when I hit that one, it showed up as unavailable for regular order and the marketplace prices sure seemed to reflect that of an OOP Criterion.
A quick check of my usual online retail joints shows that it's "unavailable" or "backordered.". Which only bolsters my concern.

smurr05

That would be

Looks like it may have been moved up. Looks like November 1st and ends right before the release of "The Night of the Hunter" and "Modern Times".
