THe funny thing is, I first went to the Hollywood video where I normally
rent and all they had were the one disc sets. Wierd. THey didn't know why
the Deluxe ones weren't ordered. So I went across the street to Blockbuster.
Same story. Only the regular ones for 22 bucks. So, I went to Target, got
the deluxe two disc version for the same amount they are selling the one
disc ones at the video stores...22$. Now, why on earth the VIDEO stores
didn't have this version is beyond me, but I got a better deal at Target
anyway. I didn't think that was an unreasonable price, but I'm used to the
extended versions of LOTR with WETA collectable and have shelled out mega
bucks for Star Trek dvds. So, I guess it's all relative price wise.
