Congratulate yourself, for saving 30. Think, if you had not taken up the
offer, you would be 30 out of pocket. Find a item at 30 - it's yours - you
earned it.
That said, when I keep seeing things I once considered CHEAPEST to be
ridiculousy cheap now, I cringe. So, in theory, the savings are really just
compensation for previous overspends.
Example: NCIS season 1 - CDWOW, cheapest initially at 25. NOW, in their
pre-xmas sale, 15. Bastards.

Swings and roundabouts.
I can find some things cheaper on play - BUT, I don't spend as much there as
I used to. I don't think they are getting more xpensive, just others are
getting cheaper. If you see my meaning.
I frequently use sendit now, BUT, that might not apply generally, in terms
of price. I am selective (very) in what I buy.
cdwow - ups and down with them, but what I buy from them, is cheapest (see
above, at the time)...but I can search for other items and they are way over
priced.
The problem is, if I wait for a item to "go cheaper" - sod's bloody law, it
doesn't. (worse case scenario, it gets deleted).
But back to point, those dvd comparison of price sites www.find-dvd.co.uk)
are a good guide to getting what you want at the best price. Just ask on
here for any supplier reviews should you be in doubt of their reliabilty.
Also, depends if you want R1/R2(etc). I don't like customs charges :-)
