What is is $90.00, after all the LPs, CDs, LDs, DVDs, Blu-rays I've bought over the last 50 years.
Oh, and I still have all of them.
I double dipped on the original IV, V & VI with special edition on LD (18 sides & a 200 page George Lucas The Creative Impulse) that probably cost that much if not more.

How old are you?

Hope you got some one with a good appreciate to pass it on to not to sound morbid.

Both Amazon and Barnes and Noble have this for pre-order for $50 off the suggested retail price of $140.00. Amazon for $89.99 and Barnes and Noble for $89.49. Both have free standard shipping also.

There is a coupon code (R7V9J9N) that you can use to get 20% off one item at Barnes and Noble that bring it down to $71.67. They do charge sales tax but the total price still end up being $77.94 which is about 11-12 bucks cheaper than Amazon. The only caveat for the coupon is that you have to use a Visa Card to pay so if you don’t have one of those you are SOL. A Visa Check Card will work.

I just purchased this at Barnes and Noble and the Coupon does work. $77.94 out the door with free shipping.

Now for the long wait until September!

Many users over on the DVDTalk forum are stating that B&N is cancelling their pre-orders if they applied the coupon. It looks to be a mistake that it was even accepted with a coupon code, because B&N coupons are always specifically invalid for pre-orders.

Well, I wouldn't cut off my nose to spite my face.  B&N's Criterion sale still kicks butt when it's on.

Just got a Email from Amazon saying the release date has been put back to the 30th, this is a Friday which is a unusual release day (Normally Monday)
