I admit that I spent $120 on 2 seasons' worth of Blu Ray discs for the television show Heroes. Not the best use of my money, I'll admit. However, I just can't wait to shell out $250 ($100 off the suggested retail price) for the entire Battlestar Galactica series! Okay... not really. It's an interesting thing though: We'll shell out $10 or $15 for a 2-hour movie without blinking ($7 per hour), but the opportunity to buy 80 one-hour episodes for $250 ($3 per hour), we couldn't imagine doing something that dumb.
In other "ways to waste money" news, the infamous Joe The Plumber has become Joe Plumb Crazy: If you pay $1, you can vote on whether or not to abolish the IRS. (T-shirt available while supplies last.) For some reason I can't quite explain, I suspect that more people will be stupid enough to "vote" than buy the Battlestar Galactica series.
Hell yea, Battlestar Galactica on Blue Ray on a 50.000 inch wide screen like the one in your living room, and dolby surround sound... definately worth the money !!!
ReplyDeleteJil,
ReplyDeleteI told you that you would like Heros!
Now, for another tv series suggestion: ENTOURAGE
It is a series on HBO (but all 4 seasons are on dvd now for 50 pesos/disk). Start with season one and be prepared to sit in front of the TV for countless hours, let me know how you like it.
