wheeeeeeee!

Today speshope and I made a Best Buy run while we were down at the mall to see Madagascar. While there, I picked up the first season of due South for $18.99.

I repeat: I bought the first season for under twenty fucking dollars.

Considering the price has been well over one hundred dollars every time I have ever seen it before? This is cause for my dance of joy. Not to mention the set includes the pilot, has single-sided discs instead of double-sided, and has "Victoria's Secret" all on the same disc.

TONIGHT I CELEBRATE. OH YEAH.

Holy.

Fucking.

Crap.

...

ARE YOU SERIOUS??? Where did this come from? Single-sided and with the pilot???

I have NO IDEA what's going on, but I am afraid to wonder about it too much in case they come and say "Oops, our bad" and take them away again. Heh.

Why on Earth are they selling it for that? I don't understand! It's still a hundred bucks - and on backorder - at the website. I already have S1, but it doesn't have the pilot, and for $20 I would buy it again. Will have to check my BB here. But they probably won't have it, as they are the DEVIL.

I have no idea what's going on. Someone mentioned on ds_discourse that they'd found it, so I decided it was worth a try, and was shocked when I found it so easily.

I went to the Best Buy in Roseville this morning, but no DS. Not that I could find, anyway. Wah!

[imkalena.livejournal.com]

I found S2 at another Best Buy, and bought two copies, but no S1! Maybe I can end up finding somebody to trade with . . .

[kijikun.livejournal.com]

Whaa..how'd you get it for that? My best buy a month ago was swearing up and down it was back ordered...

*whimpers* Maybe I'll have to pay best buy a visit, since I do have a friend that would love my season 1 I have now...

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Dude, it was just there. I asked no questions.

[speshope.livejournal.com]

Ha ha ha you WIN AT LIFE.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

I really do!

[speshope.livejournal.com]

And I helped! *in the "My mom made Shake'n'Bake voice*

Can one order online from Best Buy? Because my double-sided crapz0r disks won't play in my DVD player, only on my laptop.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

The best buy website still has the $100+ dvds on back order. I don't know what exactly's going on.

[teneagles.livejournal.com]

The $100+ set is the one produced by Alliance/Atlantis, and imported from Canada. The set you got is the new US release by Platinum, and generally sells for about US$21.99. Best Buy has the Platinum discs in-store, but not on its website.

Oh, thank you very much for this information. I hope they will soon become available in overseas. (prays)

[ladysorka]

Single-sided? $20?

...how many discs? *debates buying it, er, again*

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Four discs. Pilot through They Eat Horses, Don't They on disc one; Pizzas and Promises through Gift of the Wheelman on disc two; You Must Remember This through The Blue Line on disc three; The Deal through Letting Go on disc four.

[estrella30.livejournal.com]

Dude - WOW. You so win at life!

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Yes. Yes, I do.

[rhiannon-jehane.livejournal.com]

Single sided! With the Pilot! Wheeee!

*makes plans to check Best Buy after work*

Also, did you see the other Very Important news item on that page? Season 4 may be available in September. This coming September. Of course, this is Alliance Atlantis we're dealing with, so it'll probably be September of 2007, but they've actually set a date!

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Heh. I haven't been able to afford the s3 dvds yet, either, but my copies of season 3 and 4 are in pretty good condition, whereas my Vecchio tapes were crumnbling to dust in my hands.

what what

what what WHAT?

OMG

OMGGGGGGGGGGG I have entered Earth Mark B where things are made of candy.

Okay, like I wasn't ALREADY going to be squirming through my dentist appointment? Holy CROW. I AM SO THERE.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

sweet, sweet CANDY.

I hope you don't mind strangers/lurkers popping in soliciting information, but I'm wondering if this set is in widescreen or full screen?

lucciolia, thanking you in advance

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

It's fullscreen.

[istima.livejournal.com]

Oh my god, God loves Due South fans! I wanna buy it! I'm so jealous! Go You!

Soon as they are released overseas, I'm going to buy them like that. *snaps*
