Wish the Von Sternberg were on sale right now....I think they'll fix that later (I remember this happened before).

Re: November Criterion Sale
Curious, I have never purchased pre-orders online during the sale before but do pre-orders hold up your shipment until its released? Or do they ship the pre-orders later?

Re: November Criterion Sale
The main thing I wanted from this sale was the 3 Silent Classics by Josef Von Sternberg (and Ozu’s “Story of Floating Weeds/Floating Weeds”) but oh well, hopefully they fix it in few days.
Ended up getting:
Eclipse Series 22 – Presenting Sacha Guitry
Eclipse Series 24 – The Actuality Dramas of Allan King
Crumb
La Ronde
Le Plaisir
Louie Bluie
Thin Red Line
Early Summer
Night Train to Munich
Aside from the Von Sternberg which I hope they make it 50% off, The other ones I probably may get near the end is “Modern Times” (if the sale lasts through Nov. 16th) and I’m still debating on Eclips ee Series 1: Early Bergman which I still haven’t bought yet.
Speaking of Bergman, still need to pick up “Sawdust and Tinsel” and maybe “The Magician” but I have a lot of Bergman I have yet to watch still.
Used the AAA B&N link for the 10% off.

Re: November Criterion Sale
Eight Criterion BDs, including the Nov. 16 releases, plus I chucked in Apocalypse Now; Full Disclosure Edition to benefit from the savings in postage - all scheduled to ship Nov. 22. Excellent.

Re: November Criterion Sale
Every single store in Manhattan is sold out of the Von Sternberg set 
And for months now, A Christmas Tale Blu-ray is still not available in any stores in Manhattan either.
Also, can anyone confirm that the in-store sale starts tomorrow, and not today? Thanks

Re: November Criterion Sale
Yes, it says it is available, but when you try to reserve it it is saying it is actually out of stock....thanks anyway.

Re: November Criterion Sale
Forgot to mention...for those who like to go in-store, here is an Criterion Collection excel spreadsheet I created for your cell phones. It also includes Maltin scores, Ebert and Criterion Top 10 selections which are color coded. Hope this helps!

Re: November Criterion Sale
Don't believe the pop out window saying it's out of stock. I think there's an error in their system. I received confirmation on two items that both said that in the pop up window.

Re: November Criterion Sale
Just back from my local BN.
I'm a member, I was able to use two coupons on separate orders, one for Seven Samurai and the other for House.
Seven Samurai came to $17.50 & tax. This was from a $49.95 retail.
Folks will be glad to know that House, a regular $40 Criterion, rang up as $20 exactly and therefore was eligible for the $5 coupon.
So the rules are the same as the last sale. Coupon mileage will vary upon the cashier, as always.

Re: November Criterion Sale
I started small, with two Blu-Rays: House and Black Orpheus. I plan on grabbing much more Blu-Rays in the coming weeks...

Re: November Criterion Sale
I bought blu rays of Charade and Paths of Glory. 2 coupons no problem. $13.00 each plus tax. Includes 10% off for members in store. I will miss the Lincoln Center store in NYC when it closes in January 2011. It always has the best selection of Criterions and I have never had a problem with using coupons.
