I made a quick post about this in the offer thread, but it's a good idea to start one of its own. I've been browsing a little bit, and the Ultimate Matrix Collection still looks like the best deal, bargain-wise. Several other sets come up at prices right around the lowest non-CH price available after shipping, which considering B1G1 (which is working with it!) and that you can fulfill with them, make them an excellent deal.
The long-running TV shows seem to have just one randomly chosen season discounted more than the rest of the series: Dick Van Dyke s2, Gilmore Girls s5, Smallville s3, ER s4, Stargate s2, etc. Seemingly no rhyme or reason. And most of their prices haven't caught up with big pricedrops on TV sets at other outlets (amazon, costco, etc.). Still better to get them through CH as fulfillments, but not as big a bargain as they used to be.

One good deal (at least compared to previous price with CH and other retail outlets) is the Only Fools and Horses boxsets at $39.99 which makes them 50% off and count as 2 fulfillments. Highly recommended for fans of britcoms.
Btw - anyone know what the norm in duration of these sales is? Just wondered if it would be worth trying to open up a new account and take advantage of it.

Crap! Just got this email today too.
If only this started a few days ago, I would have fulfilled with a few boxsets using the BOGO code, almost everything is a good bargain in this case.

Wow! The Greta Garbo Collection is $49.99, and you can get a free Criterion with it...
I definitely regret fulfilling with the B1G1. Going to try to open another account now...

The Young Ones is $29.98, and you can get a free $34.95 Criterion (or any other regular price title) free with it using the BOGO code.
Then you can stack another regular price BOGO on top of that, and the Criterion still counts as a free title, one of the cheaper regular price titles becomes the free one instead.
I would have gone for something like this had I not fulfilled a few days ago.

When I search for Criterion, the following ones come up:
Hearts and Minds
The Third Man
Hamlet
The Red Shoes
The Ruling Class
8 1/2
Are these the only Criterions that CH offers?
