Why would these be 60%-70% off in the next few months? This is the lowest price we've seen on these. I already have all but the Eisenstein set so I went ahead and ordered it.

Ditto that for the Orphic Trilogy, that set can't seem to get a price break anywhere.

Picked up
Fassbinder's BRD Trilogy $39.97
Eisenstein - The Sound Years (Ivan the Terrible Parts 1 & 2, Alexander Nevsky) $39.97
even though my wallet is still smarting from the DDD and Google Checkout sales. Luckily my unexpected bonus at work is covering all this so I'm not spending any money "out of pocket".

The criterion sets are pretty cheap, but the prices are basically the same as they would have been under the dvdplanet sale that ended a few days ago.
Something else I noticed is that the even with the 50% discount, the two Herzog boxed sets are still cheaper at DDD.

Bottom line is, while of course a bonus is "bonus" and is fun to spend, once it's in your hands, it is money that can be put in a bank, invested, etc., so spending it is surely "out of pocket". Funny though.

I can't find the topic, so it must have been deleted. However did anyone get the Buy 2, get $20 off to work? I have never seen it before, so how could it be expired?

It doesn't work. I think it was from a year ago, which is why you probably didn't see it.
Even if it did work, the deal would be lame now. Overnight, the 2 Dead Like Me sets jumped 25$.

Thanks Jeffrey & Starman for the response.
A year old huh? Would explain why I don't remember it. Still if its that old, one would think Amazon would have deleted that page or atleast make it forward to the main amazon page or something.

BTW...someone posted about the Fanny & Alexander criterion...I believe I got it for about $1 less from DVDPlanet using $10 Google checkout, which I believe is still working at their site (just in case you miss the Amazon sale).

I paid upwards of $100 for the Cassavetes set so this price is pretty unreal I think. It is the best thing I have ever bought and would never regret its purchase. The whole world should own it at this price.
