Expires 9/29 at noon CST.

well if I order now, I may be able to receive it before St. Paddys Day!

up to 57% off?? Where....? These are still more expensive than B&N... pass..

I've been buying some from DD lately, they've actually gotten better. Possibly due to the purchase by "Super D".

Out of 654 titles in this sale only ONE title is 57% off (Sweet Smell of Success DVD). Only 20 or 30 titles were 40% or more (and many of these were NOT Criterion titles); the VAST MAJORITY of the Criterions were between 30 & 35% off.

If they really wanted to get some attention, why not have the Criterion sale say up to 95% off, with the only qualifying title being the original 1-disc release of Seven Samurai? (and only while supplies last).

I'm sorry, but I think I'm going to have to jump on the I-Hate-What-DDD-Has-Become bandwagon now!

Welcome Peter! We've been waiting for you!

Another joke of a non-sale. Why aren't these guys out of business yet? Who actually buys anything from them anymore?

^I do occasionally... but shipping takes far longer (weeks instead of days) and it's harder and harder to find true deals. Where they were once the *first* place I looked, now they are the last. I looked at this "sale" a week or so back and saw what Proglodite saw... another non-sale type "sale".

I bought several blu rays at the recent 2 for 1 sale. Received them all in good condition and quickly with free shipping so I guess I do.

That said this up to 57% sale sucks so I will not be buying anything from it.

Ditto. I also bought a couple of CD's that were several dollars cheaper than Amazon. All arrived quickly.

So out of curiosity, the next Criterion sale from BN is in November? I really want to get The Killing, The Phantom Carriage, and a few others but I've been waiting under the impression that it'll be cheaper in November. Thoughts?

Only 1 title at 57% off,thats a big fu sale . Let them rot,I haven't bought from them in years.

The last 6 or so Julys and Novembers, B&N has had every Criterion at 50% off. Add coupons and/or membership/site discounts, and those are generally the best price on Criterions. Keep an eye out for the specific threads for the sale in those months.

To give credit where credit's due, I do believe DD was the first retailer to actually have Criterions at 50% off. It was a B1G1 sale maybe five or six years ago - I remember it vividly because it was the first time I had ever encountered such a huge discount on Criterions...and was the first time I was able to take chances on their films with an assurance that I could resell the ones I didn't like and either get all my money back or maybe even make a little. I don't believe B&N started their 50% sales until a good year and a half or two years later. --Peter

They've gotten better. Their shipping is really fast now (internationally) and packaged much better.

I'm tempted to get Scenes from a Marriage for $24.29 since Barnes & Noble doesn't seem to stock it anymore.

My only hesitation is wondering if it will be released on blu-ray anytime soon.

Edit: Nevermind. I see DD says 5-10 days until shipped, which, from what I understand of DD's past, likely means it will never ship.
