Anyone pick up the Heros Season 1 DVD set?

[jourdo]

I'm curious if anyone has picked it up yet?

Any recommendations for the best deals in the Great White North for this?

I just scouted out Walmart tonight and will likely check out Costco tomorrow.

no, it's $50 right now. I'll wait for the used copy.

With the Canadian dollar so strong you'd think these moron retailers would start smartening up and lowering the gouge prices on things.

Looks like I'll have to wait for my first pay check, in like who knows how many months. *Sigh*

Retailers paid for these things six months ago, so their prices are based on costs back then. Also, nobody expects the dollar to remain this strong - every time it's happened, the Bank of Canada has tried to push it back down to the 75 - 80 cents range. So no-one wants to waste a lot of money changing things they'll need to change again soon. Also, a lot of DVDs are made in Canada so relative dollar strengths mean nothing; blame the studio for that one. And, lastly, people are accustomed to paying those prices, and are paying those prices, so the stores are enjoying increased margins. Given how costs of operations are going through the roof (electricity costs keep going up, rents are going up, wages are skyrocketing) can you blame them?

In the meantime, vote with your wallet & buy it online from the States. Amazon.com is a lot cheaper than Amazon.ca...

I have the pre-DVD copies, but want to still get the boxed set.

$46.99. With the $6 costco coupon I had, brought it close enough to the US price to pick it up.

Bought it tuesday @ Best Buy. Got the wrist strap and had the Heroes cast sign my Heroes stuff at Yonge/Dundas square yesterday.

If you like the show support it by buying the boxset.
