50% of Criterions!!!
 

Posted on their Facebook -

To celebrate, when we hit 50,000 Facebook fans, we'll post a promo code for 50% off all in-stock DVDs and Blu-rays at Criterion.com, but get ready -- the code will only be valid for 50,000 seconds!

The promo hasnt been postd yet...and their site has crashed...

Re: 50% of Criterions!!!
 

I don't think there's a rush if that's right. If my math is right, 50,000 seconds is around 13 hours (5000 seconds is about 83 minutes).

Re: 50% of Criterions!!!
 

I'm having a lot of fun watching the site crash and posting comments on Facebook about it. Good times.

Re: 50% of Criterions!!!
 

50% of Criterions... what? ;)

But seriously though, good catch! Having checked out their Facebook page, I'd guess that they're probably not as likely to run a half day sale in the middle of the night as maybe first thing in the morning. But stranger things have happened.

Hah! Shows what I know!

Re: 50% of Criterions!!!
 

just what I need.. another excuse to spend $



"And we're back! Take 50% off all in-stock Blu-ray and DVD titles for the next 50,000 seconds using the promo code THANKS. Enjoy!"

Re: 50% of Criterions!!!
 

Do we need facebook to get the discount? All Id even buy Darjeering and Cronos

Re: 50% of Criterions!!!
 

I hate that you have to spend 50 bucks to get free shipping. Otherwise its 6 bucks shipping if you buy one blu

Re: 50% of Criterions!!!
 

I went to get "Che" entered the code and it didn't give me 50% off. Half of 39.95 is not 24.95.. Anyhow It's free shipping with $50 of the order. Otherwise it's around 6$ for one title.

Re: 50% of Criterions!!!
 

The MSRP is actually $50.00 for CHE

Re: 50% of Criterions!!!
 

They have it listed at 39.95.. but I guess that would make sense then.

Re: 50% of Criterions!!!
 

Yea no good for me, I really just want Cronos so Ill wait till that B&N sale next year

Re: 50% of Criterions!!!
 

Does anybody know if they hold your order if you order a preorder with instock items?

Re: 50% of Criterions!!!
 

FYI, I was able to place a second order using the code, so it doesn't look like it's a one-use only deal.

Re: 50% of Criterions!!!
 

dammit. so tempting.... BUT.. i'll have to pass.

Re: 50% of Criterions!!!
 

Thanks Dex! Picked up:

The Wages of Fear
Roberto Rossellini's War Trilogy

The war trilogy is a blind buy for me, so I hope I made a good choice! :fc:

Re: 50% of Criterions!!!
 

Thanks for the head's up. Was able to hit the $50 mark pretty easily.

Re: 50% of Criterions!!!
 

Not being half off their listed price is misleading. Still some good deals to be had, but nothing like I had hoped.

Re: 50% of Criterions!!!
 

I tried but most of the things that I placed in my cart are out of stock, especially the brand new releases. (Hmm.) I get to keep my money.

Re: 50% of Criterions!!!
 

Lucky for me I keep strange hours. I saw this sale mentioned over at Home Theater Forum around 4 a.m. and ordered (no blu's):

Senso
Sweet Smell of Success
Ride With the Devil
3 Silent Classics of Von Sternberg
Pandora's Box
Threepenny Opera

Re: 50% of Criterions!!!
 

I ordered The Blob, My Own Private Idaho and Walkabout.

Re: 50% of Criterions!!!
 

Hmm, Charade, Night Train to Munich, and Make Way for Tomorrow are all still in stock and would get me to around $50, but I think I don't want to spend the $ right now.

Re: 50% of Criterions!!!
 

No need to agonize... the sale is over.

Re: 50% of Criterions!!!
 

Yeah, I just checked the thread in the BD bargains forum and realized that. So no harm, no foul.

Re: 50% of Criterions!!!
 

I suppose I have been spoiled by the B&N sales since I didn't feel compelled to order anything, although the fact that half of the titles I wanted were out of stock also helped me resist.

Re: 50% of Criterions!!!
 

All I want is the updated anamorphic version of Shock Corridor so I'll wait for B&N $ale as well-
