If you don't want to wait until November for the next B&N sale, Best Buy has one going on right now.  Not sure how long it'll last but still.

I would wait on Eraserhead guys. Apparently the first batch they put out has a defect around the 65 minute mark in the film. The screen I supposed to go bright white during Jack Nance's reaction but instead just goes black.

I bought mine already before knowing, but for the other people who have bought it, they've offered to replace the disc for free so it's not that big of a deal.
