boy do i really not understand the way VS operates its sales. Nothing seems to actually be discounted? is it just that they made some new pre-orders available? If so, why do they disable free shipping thresholds during the sale? During a previous sale you couldn't even look up their main catalogue titles IIRC.It all feels so needlessly confusing.
Yeah, I don't get it either. What I do know is I'm going to pre-order
Road House and regret it after watching it again for the first time in a decade or two.
I was skeptical a few months ago when another forum (the one that correctly guesses the VS secret films each & every time) mentioned
Road House, then it ran on AMC for about a month long, so I caught it several times. Though I was in the same boat as you, I was pleasantly surprised how enjoyable it was, but I don't know if splurging for the 4K will be the indulge to take for me. I mean, I still haven't picked up
Miami Connection, and that was like 5 months ago.
As for the VS sales, technically everything is always on sale, except for the Partners Only months, which serve to spotlight only those labels. The 50% off sales are twice a year (Black Friday will be the second and last of this year), and cover most of the catalog, excluding releases within the last 6 months. And, yes, there are a few other sales scattered in between, but those are the biggest ones.
Also, I'm a little surprised no one here has mentioned
Mutant Hunt, which is a film that I feel like I dreamed into my teenage VHS reality at some point. To have it pristine with an Elizabeth Purchell commentary and on blu seems wild!
