I bought most of mine at Cost Co as they were released (and let me say once more - damn you Fox for making us wait a year longer than the UK fans to get the DVDs here!) - they are usually $36.99 each there, and sometimes they do specials. When S4 was released, you could get any of the previous seasons for $15 with the purchase of S4. Best Buy ran a lot of specials too during most of the season releases.

I thought that I posted about this earlier when I reported about the new Slayer Collection DVDs, but apparently I forgot.

There is a R2 set of all seven seasons being released on November 22. According to this site:

Joyously packaged in a leatherette box, the set includes the seven seasons spread over 39 discs at the bargain price of £199.99.

As well as all the episodes, the DVD set includes various extra including commentaries, featurettes, outtakes, Easter Eggs, trailers and cast biographies.

Plus, there's a special booklet included and a letter from Joss Whedon himself – although we doubt he's written each one.

Be warned, with only 10,000 produced, it may just fly off the shelves.

You can view a picture of the packaging here.

The list price is 199 GBP, but both Amazon and HMV are retailing it for 139 GBP - good price if you don't already have the whole set. It will be interesting to see if they do a similar set in R1.

well, the only reason I have all of them, is because amazon has them at a great price if you preorder them. so I always bought them early.

Works for me. Although I believe Buffy Season 7 will go on my Xmas list.

C'mon Dad!

First Daughter opens this weekend. Joey Potter and Riley Finn - who woulda thunk it?

You can view a picture of ASH here. He (and his horse) posed for the PetPlan Calendar 2005 for Riding for the Disabled.

My mom still won't order anything online, but I figure I'm a big girl so she is free to be paranoid and I am free to use my credit card online. I understand her mistrust, but credit card fraud occurs everywhere, not just online - people steal credit card information at grocery stores, mall stores, any place credit cards are used. Of course if I told her that, she would just be even more distrustful and afraid to use her credit card anywhere! As much as I value my mom's opinion on certain matters, I make my financial decisions based upon my own judgement rather than her fears. Besides, it's MY credit card!

I know that with my mom's credit card, visa I think, they have a much more secure way of dealing with fraud. not to mean they have better security, just that you are not charged if someone steals your number. unlike a debit card, where you aren't guaranteed that you'll get your money back.

I only use my credit card online, never debit card. I have a Capitol One card that helps protect me, but I'm still causious. I recently bought a shredder to dispose of old bills and other mail.

It depends on your bank, but debit cards are often protected as well so that you are not held liable for fradulent charges and the money is put back into your account.

Yeah, I remember back when the whole AU fiasco happened there was discussion that if your debit card has a Visa logo on it, chances are they will protect you. I had no protection on my debit card (was a mastercard) and I lost a big chunk of money to them

Since I don't have a credit card and don't really want one, what I have done is setup another checking account that I just put a small amount of money in and use that to order from places that I don't know or fully trust.

There was a cool segment on TechTV about disposal of sensitive information. They had a shredder that eats CDs, a de-gausser to megnetically scour hard drives, etc. My favorite was the (extremely dangerous) use of a thermite incendiary device to obliterate an entire PC in a matter of seconds!

wow, that sounds like the basis of a sci-fi paranoia film! or something from James Bond or Alias!

Works for me. Although recently several banks have advertised more protection for debit cards. For those with bad or no credit, sometimes all you have is your debit card.

Or you can do what I did. During a rough patch when I didn't have a credit card my friend would use his credit card to order stuff for me and I would just give him checks or cash.
