What a friend we have in jewishcarpenter! You, sir, can look for a cookie bouquet to arrive sometime this year.

I do love cookie bouquets. Did you order anything from there? I'm curious as to what the shipping costs are for that site.

I have to ask permission before I can order.   

EDIT: gads! $14.95 for shipping! That's only worth it if you order a LOT of discs.

I figured there might be some sort of catch. I just wasn't willing to register on their site to find out. Sorry if i got your hopes up or wasted your time. How many discs did you have picked out for $15 worth of shipping?

EDITED for spelling errors because this wireless keyboard blows oh so many goats.

I'm still looking. My partner hates double-dipping, so getting her to agree to any titles we already have on DVD is going to be a tough sale.

Comes out to 9.50 per DVD (but I did order a 12.00 title, so your numbers will be more like 8.50 per DVD if you order 6)

Thanks a bunch JC, I actually tried to get in on this deal last week but the iNetVideo website was getting pummeled by high traffic. Glad to see they were able to get the site back up.

If you'd like an alternate way to get those HD-DVDs, try this.

Head over to ebay and hit their ebay store. The discs there have a $7.99 Buy it now price, but shipping is $4.95 for the first disc and two bucks more per extra disc.  Depending on the number of discs ordered, it may save you money. Or be daring and bid on the auctions and try to get it lower than $7.99.

Target is selling 1600 Microsoft Point cards for $14.99, marked down from the usual $19.99.  I didn't know those things ever went on sale.

Today Only. Die Hard Blu-ray Collection (1-4) $56 free shipping

I would buy this, but the Die Hard 4 blu-ray is the theatrical cut, not the unrated cut.  (grits teeth)

Today Only. Weezer - Pinkerton MP3 album only $1.99.

Sold.  Thanks for the heads up.

I would get the Die Hard Blu Ray but even 14.25 per BR is pretty expensive for movies that are old or incomplete (theatrical DH4) ... even with that said, it was still pretty tempting, if the box set looked cooler I'd of probably pulled the trigger, but it looks cheap from the pictures on Amazon. The Box set doesn't seem to include a box and its in one of those cheesy double wide cases wherein I'd expect to find something like a '100 Classic Horror' style 'box set'.

And I actually bought the first Die Hard on Blu Ray already, and the video transfer is pretty underwhelming.  Based on reviews I've read, the other three films get progressively better in A/V quality, but the first flick isn't much of a step up from the standard DVD.
