In Reply to: DVD limited edition rant (kinda) posted by Lokileby on January 24, 2003 at 10:49:13:
: Back in August I had an influx of money (about $100 canadian and all prices are in Canadian) from change that I had been saving up. I go to spend this money and I wanted a few CDs and DVDs before I went to my first year university in September.
: I go to the store and find out that they have released a special edition DVD of Se7en and it is on the rack 2/$60. But there are no movies on that rack that I want. Also they had another rack the Fight Club special edition 2/$40. Now I go in and buy the two CDs I want (Beatles- One and Radiohead- the Bends) and only have $50 which will not quite cover it. So I figure I'll come back some other time and pick them up.
: Well this Christmas I go back to buy them with gift certificates from Christmas and my birthday (Dec.31) only to be told by the clerk that they are no longer in stock and that both Fight Club and Seven were LIMITED EDITIONS. I find out that virtually nobody has them in stock.
: Luckily yesterday I'm in the mall browsing in a store, just checking to make sure. And lucky me they had Seven (but no Fight Club). So half my search is over.
: What really ticks me off though is that the Blockbusters in my are all have the Limited Edition Fight Club to rent (i guess it came out before the regular edition).
: Well that's my rant. I just wish I would've known they were limited so I could buy them back in August.
