DVD prices

I've already mentioned in an earlier entry how interesting it is to watch the price of some films drop like stones, to that end I browsed though Amazon's Bargain section.

"Shaun of the Dead" - £2.98! The entire first season of "The Tudors" - £9.98 that's ten episodes worth, 514 minutes. 14 Hitchcock films for £24.98.

There's 625 results and although some aren't exactly bargains compared to others, £37.98 down from £49.99 (-24%) for "The Vicar of Dibley" compared to £16.98 down from £49.99 (-66%) for "Deadwood" season 3, and with season 1 at £15.48 (-69%); but that's why it's up to 70% off.

Well worth a browse especially given the bricks and mortar shops are often still selling them at full price, but be careful there's some sneakiness "Daywatch" at £4.98 or "Nightwatch"+"Daywatch" at £5.97, single disc of "Hot Fuzz" for £4.98 or the double-disc for £7.97? If you spot something it's worth tapping it into the search just to see what else is available.

LOL first row of the first page of the television DVDs under £5 - Bagpuss, Ivor the Engine, Tipping the Velvet, Fireman Sam; hmm spot the incongruous entry.
