Feeling the Angel love
6 May 2004 09:54I have finally succumbed and ordered Seasons One, Two and Three on DVD. I'll be able to get rid of my tapes, which is great from a clutter POV.
But, how insane is this? Purchasing all three seasons from amazon.com is about the same price as buying one season from sendit-com/blackstar, and about £10.00 more than one season from amazon.co.uk. Excluding postage. I'm getting all three seasons for £75, including postage, from amazon.com. Bargain!
It was even cheaper getting them today from amazon.com than amazon.ca (my usual cheap purchasing place). But I was walking with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
thermidor (who is, alas, on her way back home now to the US) and temaris through Leicester Square last night and saw what the US dollar exchange rate against sterling is atm (no wonder thermidor was wincing), so thought that amazon.com might be cheaper. And it was.
Even taking into account currency fluctuations, though, the DVDs in the UK are far too expensive compared to North America and are yet another shining example of how we get ripped off in this country. But really, don't those people who sell goods over the internet realise that many of us are savvy enough to shop around worldwide for the cheapest price? And have multi-region DVD players, which are widely available in the UK?
