Just under $20 after the 20% off. Three miniseries worth of westerns (somewhere at 14 or 15 hours long in total). And read the reviews, Lonesome Dove at least is a highly acclaimed miniseries.

What, no Return to Lonesome Dove?
They actually had returning actors for that one... well, Chris Cooper and Rick Schroeder anyway. But it had a pretty decent cast for what it was (Reese Witherspoon, William Petersen, Barbara Hershey, Dennis Haysbert, Oliver Reed, etc.).

Seriously, this is a wildly entertaining show (especially for that price). I just wanted to apply a bit of pressure, since I'd want someone to pressure me if I hadn't seen Firefly and was debating a purchase.

For anybody on the fence about Firefly I'd recomend it. It would most likely be the DVD I'd keep if I had to pick from my collection. Not too Sci-fi not too western and an amazing cast. I got it right after it came out and watched the entire thing in a weekend including the commentary. I've rewatched it a couple of times since, even rewatched some of the commentary. If you want to check it out first I think it comes of Scifi Fridays at 7.

This time, I started making that file at the very beginning and have been updating it every morning. So far, the file (a simple text file) is up to 233K, and the total spent is over $100K. I'll post the totals when she sale ends, and then probably do it one or two more times when the final posts trickle in.

Just checked everything else, and that is the only item that has had a price drop since I ordered. Stewie Griffin went up to $28.56 (I ordered at $21.79), but that's the only other change.

Okay, now I have seen THE PINKY VIOLENCE collection in person at Best Buy, so it's not just other online vendors that have it shipping now. The release date was yesterday, but DDD still has it listed for 1/1/06.
Hopefully they will fix this so the discount will work.

I made my first order early on the 11th, and UPS attempted to deliver it today. While I appreciate them bumping my order up to UPS, I second a previous poster's preference for USPS. Living in an apartment, UPS, FedEX and DHL are all quite annoying, as anything would get stolen if I allowed them to just leave it there (someone stole my free cookies, damnit!), and I'm never available to receive it. At least UPS lets you easily change the delivery address of a package after a missed delivery attempt (to a business address, for example). USPS is definitely preferred as they can use the lockboxes and whatnot.
