Sorry if this is a rant - please move there if it turns out ugly! ;-)
Has anybody here experienced purchasing Dodgy DVDs? I brought one a few weeks ago, which was discounted, but seemed to have significant value to it. This was from what you American's would call a variety store (bit like K Mart - exect it was from another simular shop).
We (Aussies) seem to be getting heaps of rubbish when it comes to DVDs (well the movies I've got are good - but prices vary from store to store). Yesturday I brought two new movies for $19, nothing wrong with them, they looked good, they weren't in 5.1, but you don't really need an ol' movie in 5.1 (unless it's got some brillant musical theme to it). The slightly dodgy movie I brought the other day was in 5.1 (that's okay - so's heaps of other movies under $30), which was marked down to $24 originally $35, some other places I've seen the same movie go for as high as $39.
I kinda wonder sometimes if particular movies are marked up in price, because of what you're getting & if indeed it was discounted because it was slightly faulty.
Any thoughts, Suggestions, ideas?
Cheers,
