If you have a bunch of WB titles, you can wait and see if they have another "upgrade to blu-ray" program later this year. Direct sale such as craiglist/ebay will probably get you the best prices but you're not going to find people to buy all your titles. I'd suggest doing a craiglist/ebay pass first before selling your leftover crap to used retailers.

I've put up some pretty obscure stuff on eBay and I've always been surprised at how many people actually end up bidding on it

I've had pretty good luck with eBay, especially from international buyers. Occasionally a disc will sell for far less than what I hoped for, though.

I made like $120 doing this with a bunch of my old DVDs.

Sporadic posted:The preorder for Werner Herzog's Cave Of Forgotten Dreams (coming November 29th) is $18.99 on Amazon. It's a 3D Blu-Ray/Blu-Ray 2-disc combo pack. At this point it is really the only movie that SHOULD be seen in 3D as opposed to a 'take it or leave it' between 2D and 3D. It's really loving astonishing, and is the only movie that is making me consider getting a god damned 3DTV.

You make an invoice of what you want to sell, they give you a UPS label and you can ship it pretty easily. I made about $85 off of like 12 games, and I'm pretty sure I saw a drop down menu for books/movies/etc. Also, they stress that Amazon themselves are not buying them, but a third party.

Barnes & Noble's Criterion sale is just insane. I've picked up Blow Out and House for $15.30 each with the sale, 15% off coupons and a 10% member discount. Going to grab Videodrome and Kiss Me Deadly before the weekend is done and possibly a few more. Tempted to pick up Night of the Hunter as well.

Not only a fantastic movie, but one of their best releases ever. The transfer alone is flawless - from the UCLA-restored camera negative and magnetic audio masters, plus Robert Gitt's 2 1/2 hr. making-of in full HD. It's one of the few comprehensive "Film School in a Box" sets.

Loving these Criterion sales. Been allocating $100 to each one, which isn't that much setting aside some money each month. I have taken a few blind shots (Walkabout, For All Mankind, Seven Samurai, Sanjuro/Yojimbo) and picking up the ones I have seen and know I want to own. Next time I should be up to pretty much blind buying, which with Criterion is pretty much a guaranteed fun experience.

I have been trying to avoid spending any of my money but I couldn't pass up The Night Of The Hunter for $21.19 shipped from the B&N Criterion sale. It's a blind buy so I hope I enjoy it. ------------ - edit I'm not going to double post for this so I'll put sirens around it.  Blue Velvet is $13 shipped at DeepDiscount with coupon code 25MORE http://www.deepdiscount.com/Blu-ray...promoCode=25529 I know alot of people have an issue with them but the $2 copy of Nixon I got awhile ago from them did show up without an issue.

Watched The Phantom of the Opera last night. The remaster is excellent - almost too good since you can clearly see the difference between 1925 and 1929 footage in the surviving silent version. There's a lot of printed-in wear from the 1925 version, then spotless 1929 shots. One section has heavy nitrate decomposition (the Milestone DVD opted to drop in 16mm footage for this scene), but I would consider it at least up to par with other silents on Blu. One cool addition is the use of stencil color on a few shots and no fiddling with the 2-color Technicolor during the Bal Masque scene. Many past versions attempted to "enhance" the color with an amber tint.

Rocco posted:Thanks for the heads up- I've actually never seen this movie and I'm blind buying it now because come on Is there any reason beyond cheapness that companies don't re-do their extras in HD quality? While I like that this edition seems to include all of the extras from the DVD Collector's Edition, it smacks of lazyness that the deleted scenes (the only extra I actually re-watched) look like they're from a lower-quality Youtube video.

Cheesus posted:I finally watched my copy last night and it is very nice. You won't be dissapointed. Probably a combination of laziness and cheapness. Paramount remastered everything in HD for The Ten Commandments - trailers, the 1923 version, and even the brief newsreel. They also re-did the documentary from the previous DVD in HD. MGM does the same thing - even on their budget Walmart/Best Buy exclusives, the trailers are almost always 1080p. Disney also included some HD remastered shorts on Snow White, including the digital restoration of Steamboat Willie.

It's a slow burn, but there's more suspense here than in ten slasher flicks. Shame Laughton only ever directed this one. Plus, like the Apocalypse Now 2.35:1 Blu (die in a fire, Univisium), it's the first time NotH has been on video in R1 in its original AR - even the ancient Criterion laserdisc was 1.33:1.

Grabbed Night of the Hunter, Videodrome, Kiss Me Deadly and Diabolique at the sale. As much as I want to go back and grab some more, I'm going to resist for now. Kuroneko, Cul-De-Sac, and Repulsion will have to wait for now, unless they're going out of print soon.

I went by a brick and mortar store to see what the had and there was a decent selection. Not everything was marked 50% off though--I bet they would still ring up the right price but still annoying that it wasn't clear. I don't think Barnes and Noble is going to be around much longer though. More than half the store was being turned into a christmas toy section with board games, legos, etc. Doesn't seem like selling books is working out too well for them.

Isn't the figure something like 1 kindle/nook for every 30 Americans have already been sold? I can't see B&N surviving as a book store much longer. And they definitely can't cut it as a media store selling everything at MSRP. Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, Target, and eBooks are going to destroy them soon enough. It's sad, because I like B&N. Hopefully children's books, old people, book snobs, and a few changes with their pricing can keep the doors open. e: missed a zero The Anime Liker fucked around with this message at 03:14 on Nov 6, 2011 |

Both sets have the exact same discs (2 flipper blu/dvd discs) but in different packaging. I guess FX did it so the blu case wouldn't scare away people with only DVD players.

Also got The Double Life of Veronique, Pierrot le Fou, and The Red Shoes in the mail, watched the first one so far. What a mysterious little film. I need to watch it again. And I'm super in love with Irene Jacob now.

Great pick for the price, but be warned that Hero isn't the greatest BR in the world. It's miles beyond the DVD, sure, but there are still some color-correction problems and for some loving stupid reason, the English dub is a DTS-HD master track but the original Mandarin is barely above DVD quality. If you don't have a great sound system (or can tolerate dubs), it's definitely worth what you paid for it.
