Of course!



Surprisingly the list price is only $225 (I thought it'd be a lot more too). So getting that during a B&N sale is real bargain.

Btw, what's the deal with Criterion going dual format? Are people still watching DVDs? If you're buying Criterions you should being watching them on blu-ray.

There's still people who buy the DVD's and they used to release every movie on both formats but it looks like they're doing the dual thing now like Masters Of Cinema and BFI have been doing for a while now.

I still don't know why anyone would want to buy a DVD over a blu-ray. It's not like blu-ray players are super expensive anymore.

Most households still dont have HDTV's, so it's not so much about the cost of a Blu-ray player as it is about buying a new HDTV.

Edit - Actually only 31% of hoseholds still dont have HDTV, surprisingly.
