Movies on Sale...

The Veterans day sale was supposed to last through today 11/16 per the header in the Movie Store website. It looks like they went a day early. Is this a mistake?
 
Probably ended at Midnight last evening.

Apparently that is what happened, but when it says “Veterans Day - Special pricing through 11/16”, I think it is clear that means through 11/16, not until 12:01 am on 11/16. If they really intended it to stop last night the date should have been 11/15.

I’m new to the KScape world, Is this common?
 
Yes, the timing is computers, not people. When it's set to end on a certain date, it ends on that date, and that date starts at 12:01.

I guess the bigger lesson here for all of us is to not wait until the last minute.....(I know because it's happened to me in the past as well.)

I believe most of the sales end as Jim said, so the best thing to do is buy no later than Monday. I've learned from experience.
 
Thanks for all the responses. Fortunately I had taken care of most on-sale titles I was considering by Monday.

I still think KScape needs to tweak their Movie Store language because if this is their normal convention it is misleading.

Typically all their sales start on Tuesdays.
 
I don’t really have a horse in this race as I wasn’t buying anything yesterday, but c’mon, there really is no gray area that “through 11/16” should mean through to the end of the day on 11/16. 😁

Sadly, it looks like most sales are dominated by Universal and Paramount... who [almost] never include special features. Not sure what is up on the Disney/Pixar side, but that's been holding back a few titles too (decent sale price, check the listing, find no specials, lookup the shiny disc, see that there should be TONS of material.) At least Universal/Paramount are usually fairly good about having low HDR "upgrade" pricing.
