Could someone please confirm or rebute this for me?

I had the mom trial that wasn't extended and they honored the Prime shipment of Bambi from my order placed in November.

I guess we'll know it worked if they ever release another Kurosawa blu-ray.

I'm confused. Is Criterion offering replacement cases on their site now? If so where exactly can they be found?

Nevermind. I found it.

Jumping Jesus on a pogo stick! Those results are terrible, in my opinion. It's just a lot of blu-ray upgrades when you look at it that way, which I find depressing. Out of the 12 films, only four are new. Shell, are you going to break down the most requested new releases and the most requested upgrades? That's how I originally thought you were going to present the results.

I was surprise that Tokyo Story not requested that much, I guess I might be the only one interested in Picnic At Hangin Rock as well

With all the votes I saw Ugetsu getting, I figured it was a shoe in. Love that film.

BFI's Ozu series is sourced from elements provided by Criterion. Picnic has been confirmed, though it has been a while. They're virtually a sure thing.

Buy a philips bdp3000. Can get them for about £50-60. If you get then apply the following

http://download.p4c.philips.com/file...55_fus_eng.zip

This is a firmware for BDP3000/55, which is sold in Latin America. To flash it to a European BDP3000 you'll need to rename both .bin files:
BDP300055-FUS-1015355.bin to BDP300012-FUS-1015355.bin
BDP300055-FWF-1015355.bin to BDP300012-FWF-1015355.bin

So both of my criterion dvds shipped for 0.01 cents and the gunbuster 3 disc blu ray set as well. I am so happy everything for 9 dollars shipped =)

Yeah, I had posted about getting the cancelation email earlier, but I just got a shipped confirmation email for the 7 I ordered, all still at the .01 price, so now I have no idea what's going on.

I just messaged them about it. Let's see what they say.

[Jr7936]

the one i was shocked about was the 96 dollar blu ray box set shipped for 3 dlls

The seller acknowledged the fact that it was an 'error'

I just got shipping notices for Naked Lunch and Children of Paradise.
