Allow me to brag for a little while.
Thanks to my elaborate Columbia House scamming, I am now the proud owner of the following DVDs:
The Blues Brothers (Collector’s edition)
Bowfinger
Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (Collector’s edition)
October Sky
The Royal Tenenbaums
Save the Last Dance (shut the fuck up, I liked this movie, you fucking bastards)
Wonder Boys
Bullets Over Broadway
Deconstructing Harry
Manhattan Murdery Mystery
Dr. Strangelove
Best in Show
Ocean’s Eleven (2001)
Gone With the Wind
Frailty
The Goonies
Pulp Fiction (Collector’s edition)
All the President’s Men
How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying
Office Space
The Shining (1980 — though I admit to being one of the three people who liked the remake)
The Sting
Groundhog Day
Night of the Living Dead (30th Anniversary Edition)
Big Trouble
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Pink Floyd: The Wall
Total cost (deepdiscountdvd.com - includes 8.25% IL sales tax): $517.35
Average cost/DVD: $19.16
Total cost (Columbia House - includes 8.25% IL sales tax & shipping/processing charges): $832.28
Average cost/DVD: $30.83
Total cost to me (includes 8.25% IL sales tax): $192.06 ($29.05 of which has been paid)
Average cost/DVD: $7.11
I saved 63% off of deepdiscountdvd.com’s price and 77% off of Columbia House’s price.
A winner is me!
