    DVD offers.... is it just me?

    Why o Why???

    Wandered into Virgin today to find they were doing 5 for £30.

    Can I find 5 that I want? Nope, I have to find 6!

    So I decide to get 10...... then find an 11th....

    then a 16th......

    Is it just me???

    Hey ho.... Its only money, you can't take it with you!

    /settles down with more beer and drops another disc in....

    To be honest, I normally struggle to find more than two at a time that I really want! I even battle with the "Buy one, get one free" offers...

    5 for £30 is a great deal though! Are they up to date titles?

    Virgin's 5 for £30 deal is usually very good - a nice selection of both CDs and DVDs.

    Me too.

    I can never find more than one or two discs I want when I'm out looking for DVDs. It's usually when I have a couple/some in mind that I want.

    I can certainly recommend at least The Big Lebowski, literally the most I've laughed throughout one film ever ("Shut the F*** up Donny!"), Coen Brothers at their best.

    I also have a soft spot for Grosse Pointe Blank.
