Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio (2022) 4K UHD (Criterion Collection)

[NotASpeckOfCereal]

This is listed on the B&N site for their yearly 50% off sale.

However, when you click through to your basket, you'll see it's only 30% off.

That's misleading and false advertising. Go back to the main page and it clearly states 50% off titles, and this is listed as one of them.

I went down to the local B&N and showed them this. They do claim that the "half off" is for any in stock AND also for preorder, but only if the release date for that preorder is within the half-off sales period (12/4, but Pinocchio releases on 12/5).

I pointed out that if that were the case, the Criterion half-off page should not list this title (there are others listed on that page that do not qualify).

They let me order it for half price. I highly recommend that you do the same. Fair is fair and I'm willing to say "I wish this part of your half-off sale, but I see it is not", but that misleading page clearly lists it as half-off.

I am guessing that a fair number of folk (enough) add it to the their basket with other items and don't notice the discrepancy.

Teach them not to use this misleading tactic: go down to your local store and demand half-off. I also got a box set for half-off that was errantly listed on that page. If it was an honest mistake, they'll learn about that too.
