My Take

There are about 11 pages worth of shows to look through, too many to list here. Have a look for yourself to see if there is anything of interest. Everything is discounted fairly significantly, ranging usually from 40% all the way up to 75% (higher than the sale states).

Everything is on DVD, unless otherwise noted. There are a few Blu-Rays scattered throughout so be mindful of that.

The Deal:

Grand Theft Auto Episodes From Liberty City for $19.99 (For The PC)

Free shipping with orders of $39 or more (if you plan on ordering additional items).

My Take:

This is the expansion to the game Grand Theft Auto IV and adds approximately 20 hours or so of extra game time. If you enjoyed the original game then this is well worth grabbing. The XBOX 360 and PS3 versions are also on sale for $24.99.  The price has come done a considerable amount since its release.

Product Description:

One of the best comedy series ever to emerge from England, Black Adder traces the deeply cynical and self-serving lineage of various Edmund Blackadders from the muck of the Middle Ages to the frontline of World War I. In his pre-Bean triumph, British comic actor Rowan Atkinson played all five versions of Edmund, beginning with the villainous and cowardly Duke of Edinburgh, whose scheming mind and awful haircut seem to stand him in good stead to become the next Archbishop of Canterbury–a deadly occupation if ever there was one.

My Take:

This is one of the funniest comedy series I’ve seen. This is a 6-disc set of the entire show and is discounted 60% which is great. The shipping on this is a bit slow, but worth the wait. This is a one day only offer.

My Take:

This is a great deal considering the price of HDMI cables at big box electronic stores. At short distances the brand of the cable is quite irrelevant, so save your money and grab some inexpensive HDMI cables. There are so many devices that need these cables now, grabbing a pack and saving some for the future is a great idea.

The Deal:

Includes all 6 Harry Potter Movies to date:

Harry Potter & The Philosopher’s Stone
Harry Potter & The Chamber of Secrets
Harry Potter  & The Prisoner of Azkaban
Harry Potter & The Goblet of Fire
Harry Potter & The Order of the Phoenix
Harry Potter & The Half Blood Prince.

Eligible for Free Super Saver Shipping

My Take:

This is a very good deal if your a fan of the Harry Potter movies and don’t own any of the movies to date. It works out to about $10 a movie which is very good for BluRay. The only draw back is, it doesn’t have any extras, it’s basically just the movies on their own. If extras don’t matter to you, this is the way to go. If anything, if you buy this now, you can always buy a complete mega collection (with all movies after their release) which I’m sure will have more extras than anything to date.

I was a big fan of the show, so this is a big deal for me. I didn’t purchase any of the individual releases, hoping for a complete collection with bonus material.

In addition to the 30 hours of bonus content on the individual DVD/Blu-Ray sets, there is also an additional disc of bonus content exclusive to this release.

Other extras include:

* An Egyptian style box with island map
* A Dharma laser pointer
* A Senet game
* An Ankh
* A Commemorative picture

This releases August 24, 2010, so plenty of time to order, or wait to shop around.

The Wire is an American television drama series set and produced in Baltimore, Maryland. Created, produced, and primarily written by author and former police reporter David Simon, the series was broadcast by the premium cable network HBO in the United States. The Wire premiered on June 2, 2002 and ended on March 9, 2008, with 60 episodes airing over the course of its five seasons.

Each season of The Wire focuses on a different facet of the city of Baltimore. They are, in order: the drug trade, the port, the city bureaucracy, the school system, and the print news media. The large cast consists mainly of character actors who are little known for their other roles. Simon has said that despite its presentation as a crime drama, the show is “really about the American city, and about how we live together. It’s about how institutions have an effect on individuals, and how … whether you’re a cop, a longshoreman, a drug dealer, a politician, a judge [or] lawyer, you are ultimately compromised and must contend with whatever institution you’ve committed to.

Despite never seeing commercial success or winning any major television awards, The Wire has frequently been described by critics as one of the greatest television series of all time. The show is recognized for its realistic portrayal of urban life, artistic ambitions, and uncommonly deep exploration of sociopolitical themes.
