This time of year is great, there are so many sales on and a lot of them are films, CDs and games. The area I'm most interested in at the moment is DVDs, as I have so many that I want and only a limited amount of money.

Why, though, is it always the shops with the least interesting DVD sales that you end up getting vouchers for? I got WHSmiths vouchers this year, but most of the sale DVDs there are ones I already have or don't want.

MVC has Lord of the Rings for £9.99 and Italian Job for under £9. This is just a sample of the sales in all the different shops at the moment, and even the online stores are going for it with some great bargains.

Not on the Internet though it seems?

Definitely not. American sales trump british ones left, right and center.

Meka Dragon likes to talk about himself in the third person.
Meka Dragon feels confident expressing himself this way.
Meka Dragon wishes all people would kneel and pray in the direction of Meka

I’ve noticed that although the British e-tailers are in full sales swing, that a lot of the other countries (notably America) seem to be lacking the same sales enthusiasm... Are the January Sales only a British phenomenon?

Anyone spotted Mulholland Drive at a decent price yet?

I'm tempted by a David Lynch box set, consisting of Mulholland Drive, Lost Highway and Eraserhead.

That's £29.44 at cheapest, on Amazon, including P&P.

BUT...

I Eraserhead and Lost Highway are £7.99 each on Play, so that's £15.98

So if I see Mulholland Drive for less than £13.46, it's cheaper to buy them separately!

As I got the Twin Peaks box set for Christmas though, I'd quite like to pick up Fire Walk With Me, and the best price I've seen that at so far is £11.99

Sticking with David Lynch, Blue Velvet is just £$.99 at HMV, I've got to pick that up!

Also at HMV at that price is that Glengarry Glenross film, or whatever it's called. As I've heard folks talk about it on here, I might pick that up too.

Goodbye Xmas money!
