It's still cheaper, but the dollar's now hovering around 94 cents. :( I liked it when we were exactly par.

LE SILENCE DE LA MER :rock:!!!!!!! Wow, I need to get me a region-free BD player NOW :eek:. Perfect way to start the year, can't wait to get it.

I got my amazon order today and didn't realize SALO was going to be in a cardboard case or I would have bought it at Barnes & Noble. I could have sworn I read some where it was a plastic case. (JUST FYI I love the cardboard cases liek Salo and the like just didn't expect it on this release :-) Seems DVDbeaver had it listed as being in a transparent plastic case. I may return my amazon copy for credit and buy it this weekend at Barnes.

That's what I thought too..... So it's a one disc cardboard case release like breathless? It must be because of the size of the book. Not sure why DVDbeaver said it was a clear case :confused:

Post pics?? Was yours damaged for you to have to return it and buy it from someone else?

i'm anal retentive they have to be MINT haha The side of top is a little smooshed and the side spine that I would look at the most has a slight indention. They are small and honestly not bad but I would pay 35.00 at Barnes to get a MINT one. I paid 27.99 for this one

I'm not gonna open it so I can return it for credit.

I just cancled my preorder to go pick this up at B&N today :p thanks for the heads up.

Also, how big is the box? The pics make it looks huge :p

That was nice of you...thanks! I was not aware of this being in a cardboard case. I like it! DVDBea... listed it as being in a transparent BD case.

I am the same way as well when it comes to condition of the packaging. If I'm going to pay top dollar for a release like this, I want to make sure it is in the condition I can happily accept...and yes, I will watch the film regardless...

However, for the lower cost, I would keep it and write to Jon for a replacement. So far, he has replaced all of my beat up cases/cardboard boxes to date. They're awesome. I always offer to pay, as it is only fair, but so far, they have been very very generous.

I do like Criterion's packaging better than the BFI's. It's a bit more discreet and looks classier.

It is the same size IMO as Carlos and Amarcord. Pretty sure it is the same thickness as Carlos.

You must be a B&N member, because it's 39.99 in-store. I'm debating whether or not being a B&N member would be of any benefit to me, since I live in Canada and order 99.9% of my stuff from them online.

That's what she said.

I called and the guy said it was $35.99..... Sometimes they take off 10% without having to be a memeber (and an addition 10% off if you are a member) so maybe thats why.... im not sure though

Someone always seem to make that joke somehow :)

Haha and I saw Part I of Carlos and I think he is thick haha

Yeah all DVDs/ Blus 39.99 or up always are instantly 10% off and with a membership you get an additional 10% off. and if you can dig up another in store coupon ...

Wow, a little TMI...lol
