These will be mine, oh yes.

So I guess Best Buy is no longer carrying new Criterion releases?

No longer a sale item.

"Cronos"? Yes. "Videodrome" No.

Now Criterion, please please release "The Ice Storm".

Not anymore. At least it is over 30 for the BD version. The DVD version is 23 and some change.

yep, DD has changed the prices on both Cronos and Videodrome blus.

I'll be there first day for both.

Got the blu BBS box today - it's awesome.

why do you say that? I've actually noticed my neighborhood Best Buy carry MORE Criterion titles.

Nice!

Am I crazy or do some of those screenshots look really orange? It's been a while since I popped in my LG copy of Chronos on DVD to compare.

I said new titles. The last new one they got in was The Thin Red Line. Everything after that, including all announced pre-orders, show as "not available" for store pickup, which means they won't be carrying them.

Well, "Chronos" with an 'h' is a completely different beast, but...

I think the screenshots have a darker look to them on my monitor at work, but since the transfer is approved by del Toro there's no room for me to complain. Plus, none of the computer monitors I view at work or home have any kind of calibration like my tv does, so I'm sure it'll look even better.

The screenshots over at criterionforum.org don't look nearly as orange to me as the DVDBeaver shots.

Anyone know of any specials anywhere for "Chronos"?

Ok, wow. Videdrome looks awesome. Ive only sampled a few scenes, but damn this thing looks good!

How do you have Videodrome already?

Review copy. Didn't expect to get it so soon. Loving the packaging of it.

I need to find my DVD copy of the film so I can do some comparisons.

Blu-ray.com on The BBS Story

This looks fantastic. I've never seen Easy Rider (I know..I know) or the other films in this Boxset. Hopefully B&N does have the Criterion sale in July so I can get this for a great price.

This set is at the top of my Christmas List for good reason...

Is there special packaging for it? Pics?

I know the DVD release looked like a Videotape, which was rad.

It's the same exact thing, only a little smaller.

Pictures were posted a page before.

Comes with a pretty nice booklet as well. Really happy Criterion kept the packaging the same.

From anyone in the L.A. area, Guillermo del Toro is going to be doing a signing for "Cronos" on 12/7 @ 5pm @ Amoeba. I may try to attend.

......I hate all you bastards who live out there. Hate out of jealousy.

Thanks for the heads up. Missed that.

Jealous about the Del Toro signing too
