Selected Blu Rays at 50%
http://www.borders.com/online/store/...id=SL_20110111
Use coupon code FIFTYBLU at check out. Some decent selections. After tax and shipping, many still beat Amazon by a couple of bucks. For some reason they also have SD DVDs listed for the discount as well.

The Social Network [Blu-ray]
List Price: $31.99
On Sale for: $24.99
With the code FIFTYBLU the discount is $9.00 off /= 50% off either of those dollar amounts above.
What am I missing?
Edit: I just figured it out. 50% of $31.99 = $16.00. Since it was discounted $7 already, the $9 make it 50% off $31.99
That's such bullshit. Just when I think I actually find a decent Borders deal, they try and trick me.

Someone help me out with the math here:
The Social Network [Blu-ray]
List Price: $31.99
On Sale for: $24.99
With the code FIFTYBLU the discount is $9.00 off /= 50% off either of those dollar amounts above.

My real point was the way they do the discount and word it. If you can't use a coupon on a sale price, then in the "total" column put the list price. Don't calculate the discount in a roundabout way. Say the discount is $16.00 and make the subtotal $31.99.

There are some good Criterion deals to be had with the coupons. As mentioned in this Barnes and Noble thread in the Blu-ray forum, there are some low Blu-ray prices but there are also some deals on SD Criterion. Here are a few titles priced at 17.97 before coupons and discounts:
Cronos
House
Antichrist
Pickup on South Street
Black Narcissus

Has anyone had any luck with back-ordered items shipping recently? I have 3 orders in right now. 2 have been on back-order for a week and the other is a pre-order for mid-Feb. Just wondering if any back-orders are coming back in stock.

I just had my Kagemusha BD ship. I ordered on 1/17 and it shipped 1/24. I think it showed a 2 week backorder when I ordered it.

I placed a pre-order on 12/17 for a 1/25 DVD release. It arrived in the retail stores on tuesday and on-line it states ships in 24 hours. But my order on-line say "backordered". Customer services says it has nothing to do with their financial problems, but they have no other explanation which seems to be a very common problem now.

Yes! I ordered Golgo 13 Collection 2 back around 1/4, and it was backordered when I placed the order. It was delivered 1/24.

Any 40% online codes out there? I've got $15 rewards cash to use and want to make sure I get the most out of it.

Anyone holding Borders gift cards or other forms of credit should probably use it/them as soon as possible. The company is pretty much circling the drain.

As a former employee, I'm surprised this company is still running on life support.

Question: I have a $25 gift card and I use it for something that is $20. Will the remaining $5 be available immediately or only after the item is charged/shipped?

They charge your card immediately--not after the item ships. But your remaining balance will continue to be available, so you'll still have the $5.

I had $20 in Borders Bucks that were good until the end of Feb but I used them today just in case.
