The Criterion Collection - Page 1399 - Blu-ray Forum

One possibility comes to mind.

Let's say for instance there was a deal in the works or even in place for a future release of Spartacus. I imagine Warner wouldn't want that confirmed before their Kubrick collection was even released.

In a more general sense, I would also think the benefits to being more specific about future plans would be dwarfed by the negative reactions when any of those plans fell through.

We're not a forgiving lot when we think something has been 'taken away' from us

If they announce it too early, and the project falls apart (or is postponed) they'll probably be swamped with people emailing them, complaining where "their" Criterion is. So, it's better (easier) for them to release the info a couple of months before the release, when it's truly finalized. Of course, even then, a title can be withheld (Ran, for example).

If anyone is looking for an early taste of the B & N Criterion sale, you can print out a coupon for 50% off. It's one of those "get 10%, 20%, 30%, 50% off" lottery deals where you print it out and find out which coup you got.

Unless someone TELLS you which one is 50% and makes it available to you.

http://forum.dvdtalk.com/dvd-bargain...-part-2-a.html

As per my "deals" thread post...

You have to scroll down and "unhide" the selection of ALL of the coupons. They have marked the 50% coupon in glaring red letters. There are "member" and "non-member" coupons, so make sure you've printed the correct one.

The coups print out larger than the ones on the website, so I hope no one runs into any hassles from the B & N cashiers.

Try it out folks and let us know if you're successful...I think they have "online coups" as well.

ENJOY!

I think he meant the code so you can use the coupons online...so no crown yet

I've read that this deal is in-store only.

you may be right, but if you read his post he says it may be online also, hence my offer to coronate him.

The email that was sent to everyone has 2 links...1 for in-store and 1 for online. The online code is contained in the email.

So, if anyone was able to use a code which got them 50% off...they would ultimately get said crown if they posted it here for us.

It's on that link that I listed John...and BEFORE Detroit.

Just scroll down the list and click on "unhide" for the "non-member" link.

It's there!

Just call me "Your Majesty"!

If I remember correctly, with the last coupon the online code was individualized so you would have to find someone who would give you theirs.

I know the printable in-store is there, but there is NO online code anywhere posted. This is why I will coronate you if you have the 50% off online one.

ShellOilJunior · 03-31-2011, 03:07 PM

106381 in-store corresponds to 50%.

It does not work online.

My "online" code is only giving me $13.50 off of an 89.99 purchase, so it's probably only 10%...sorry guys!

Has that been confirmed? I saw several posts in the dvd talk, that were guessing such was the case.

That's the code for the members coupon. I posted the coupon for non-members above.
