一篇搞懂「CC半價日」下一次打折是什么時候？！各種問題匯總（定期更新，歡迎提問）
CC官網(wǎng)?criterion.com?的半價日，被稱作 Flash Sale，一年兩次。只要是CC在售的碟片和套裝，剛剛發(fā)布的也是半價。但是，這并不是唯一半價購買CC碟片的機會！
每年的7月和11月，還有兩個整月，你可以在美國的B&N網(wǎng)站?barnesandnoble.com?購買到半價的 CC 碟片。同時，美國亞馬遜?amazon.com?和?target.com 為了促銷，也會進行折扣活動，折扣價與?B&N?保持一致，也就是外國俗稱的（price match）。
下面先匯總了一波，大家最常問的問題。
關(guān)于分區(qū)：碟片有分區(qū)，CC碟片國內(nèi)需要破解版全區(qū)藍光機或者PS游戲機才能播放。
關(guān)于字幕：CC的碟片沒有中文字幕，有英語字幕，更多字幕信息以碟片上為準。
更多朋友的分享?@群馬13-954?:?我用的杰科G5700碟機，機器自帶這個外掛字幕功能，下好字幕用u盤插進碟機播放時選擇就行了。
關(guān)于轉(zhuǎn)運：群友提及?中郵海外購、順豐海淘?等
更多朋友的分享?@閆妍研回復(fù)：中郵海外購蠻好用的，速度基本都在一個月內(nèi)。
關(guān)于關(guān)稅：
@閆妍研回復(fù)?:沒關(guān)稅的，國家規(guī)定單碟20張以下不收關(guān)稅的。如果給你發(fā)收關(guān)稅的短信，給海關(guān)打電話過去說明情況，會給你免關(guān)稅通行的。
最后，你應(yīng)該需要一張美國網(wǎng)站可以結(jié)賬的信用卡，VISA或萬事達等。
如果以上問題你都解決了，下面是具體半價日活動的說明文章和歷史時間參考！
