All CRITERION Titles 50% Off - OOS Now Included

Use code SWAK at Criterion's site:

http://www.criterion.com

Not sure what the free shipping threshold is, but it's a good deal. (Doesnt work on pre-orders).

[Mike Skerritt]

Anyone else having problems accessing the site? It seems to be buckling a bit right now.

[AndyDursin]

Yeah they look to be totally overloaded. Best try again later on...I think the coupon is good through tomorrow (2-15) at noon.

I'd rather just wait for the next Barnes & Noble sale...free shipping, and I can use online coupons to get titles down to the $15/$16 level.

[AndyDursin]

You get free ship if you order 3, but a good amount ended up being out of stock so that was that. They apparently will give out coupons for the out of stock titles but I dunno. As it is I did find 3 with Videodrome being one of them, not so much because I like the movie bit the extras are very good (Criterion will not send me blus of titles they've done on DVD unless it is a New special edition.).

I picked up The Four Feathers and Black Narcissus. Unfortunately, with shipping and brokerage to Canada I probably didn't save that much.

[Mike Skerritt]

It's a little deceiving because they take the 50% from the MSRP and not their actual retail price, but it's still a good deal if you buy enough to get free shipping.

[AndyDursin]

Yeah, it was a good deal if you ordered 3 or more -- came to $19.99 each, which is perfectly fine and probably as good as the Barnes & Noble annual sales as there's no tax (though if you're a BN member you get extra coupons to knock the price down a bit more. I know for non-members those coupons have been scaled back quite a lot the last time out).

I also ordered 3 WOMEN, because I am going through a very odd Shelley Duvall phase at the moment...and I don't know why either.

Oh and welcome aboard to Sprocket as well...nice to see someone new around here!!

I've been lurking on your aisle seat page for many years... I'm happy to be here.

I keep getting emails of apology on how bad Criterion crashed yesterday and had to laugh at this ('cause I live in Montreal, Quebec).

"... * Please note: we ship our Blu-rays and DVDs only within the United States and to English-speaking Canada."

I guess my order, which they say is shipped, will be cancelled because I live in French-speaking Canada.

[AndyDursin]

Great to have you here too!

Just got an email from Criterion -- you can now order any title that's been backordered with the code REDO through tomorrow (2-16).

Might buy 3 more...sigh. And I thought it was going to be a slow month!
