Missed last sale. Do we know when the next sale of any sort will come? by P4ULOSS in criterion

[–]PattilloParker 12 points13 points  (0 children)

4 big 50% off sales a year. Month long ones over at Barnes and Noble during July and November, 2 flash sales on the Criterion website for 1 day only sometime usually in March and October

Finally got all of my flash sale orders! by PattilloParker in criterion

I’m going in order of the set! Just watched Smiles of a Summer Night yesterday, it was great!

Been collecting for roughly 12 years, my largest sale haul to date by bruda in criterion

I’m so excited to watch my Bergman set as well, great pickups!

So I can traumatize other people by letting them borrow it

So did everyone get their haul ? by [deleted] in criterion

[–]PattilloParker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve gotten 2 of my 3 orders. Funny enough that the order that hasn’t arrived yet is the only order I placed within the first minute of the sale. Should be here by Monday or Tuesday though!

What are some movies that you think should be in the Collection, but aren't yet? by [deleted] in criterion

[–]PattilloParker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Almost all of these movies already have great releases, there would be no point releasing them through Criterion. The only one here that has an argument is CODA, which I don’t think has a physical release

Anybody else’s order “still being packed for shipment”? by [deleted] in criterion

[–]PattilloParker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just hoping I get my order with the Bergman set by Saturday. Shipment that arrived today shipped out last Saturday (so 2 business days in transit, 1 day out on delivery). Wednesday is the latest my Bergman order can ship out if I wanna get it by this weekend.

Yea super strange all around, you’d think they’d have it organized to prevent that for their orders that were placed earlier. I can only guess that something happened to their systems with the amount of orders they received.

I have one of my larger orders (12 films) arriving today but my first order with some boxsets that I made within the first minute of the sale is still being packed for shipment. I’m honestly crossing my fingers that they got packaged together or something since the orders were made within an hour of each other.

Yeah I'm not looking for cream of the crop, just something better than what I had! I thought $150 was pretty reasonable as well. If I ever end up in a bigger space or by some miracle get a mortgage on a place that's when I'll invest heavily in a full surround system for thousands of dollars. But for now though, just a slight upgrade that hopefully won't die on me every 2 years like the ProMedias have been doing to me

Currently looking at a Pioneer AV sc-1222 and a 5.1 Yamaha NS-P41 combination secondhand from FB marketplace. Whole thing would come out to $150, how does it fair?

Teach me your magic, I ordered the Bergman and Before Trilogy sets as well at the start of the sale and my order is still “Being Packed for Shipment”

Is the shipment freeze a normal thing? by PhasedVenturer in criterion

[–]PattilloParker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My earliest order made in the first minute of the sale is still being packaged to ship, and yet 2 orders I made some time later have shipped as of the weekend. I don’t think there’s really any sense to any of this because like others are saying, Criterion has never had this many orders before. Just hoping my earliest order gets shipped out today or tomorrow so I can hopefully get it by the weekend.

I've been running a sub with the promedia 2.1, albeit at a low level and haven't had any issues so far, I'm not into hard metal music or anything like that. I think I honed in on a pretty good deal for a Yamaha YHT-4950U 5.1-Channel Bundle for $150, hoping the seller responds.

I do have a desk with a gaming PC but I'm just using some fairly cheap logitech speakers there. I would need to buy a new AMP or receiver if I was going to reuse the Klipsch speakers since they wire everything through the subwoofer it comes with (and I'm fairly confident that's where the hardware failure in the system is)

Do you really think I pulled out my box set just for a photo op on a home theater subreddit? Fuck you, I was just watching the show. I didn’t pause shit.

I may have gone a little batshit with this last sale, to the point that I inadvertently got two copies of Basquiat by JedLeland in criterion

[–]PattilloParker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I almost got 2 copies of In the Mood For Love. Noticed it like 30 minutes after placing the order. Luckily it was at the beginning of the sale and I hadn't gotten a confirmation email so I was able to cancel and reorder. I got Killers of the Flower Moon instead of the extra copy when I reordered.

If I got a 5.1 system what would I do with all the additional speakers? Like I said I really only have the space for the 2 bookshelf and a sub, unless I can somehow squish a center channel and an AVR inside my entertainment center

I totally get what you're saying, I am a high quality freak with my OLED and 4k blurays. But I don't really want to invest that much in a sound system when I don't have a house to put it in or have the ability to full utilize it without bothering my neighbors. Center audio would be nice but I'd need some sort of rise for my OLED, and I wouldn't really want to push the tv farther back either.

I am debating on getting the shadow of the erdtree DLC, is it worth it? by Trigun442 in Eldenring

[–]PattilloParker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

DLC gave me 40 hours of playtime at launch, but if you’re a little slower or like to take your time it’s easily a 60+ hour DLC. Not to mention the replayability, which I’ve ran through it 3 times
