Their 50% off figures are quite suspect.
Take their current offer - Serenity for CAD$24.98 - save 50% off the
CAD$39.98 price.
a) 50% off $39.98 is $19.99
b) Who's selling it for $39.98? happyhunter lists the most expensive
copy of Serenity at $30.59.
Granted, they did have some good deals on new release DVD's which most
went for $20 or so but its certainly not the 50% off like they
advertise (except for AvP which genuinely did sell for 50% off at
around $12 or so from memory)
Having said that, 20% off their already cheap prices was still a great
price and well worth the icard. It is a shame they went down the path
they did.

Using their suspect figures.

Well actually I was. I got $25 each for the Kill Bill shirts, $35 for
the golf balls and made one young boy very happy with the Spongebob
pillow. All up a nice bonus.
