In response to abel:
I thought Geneon was the cheaper than ADV because when going to BestBuy here in Shreveport, Louisiana, they are usually cheaper than ADV on most items.


Pricing is inconsistant in Best Buy at times, so one of my friends who works for the company reminds me, and I have seen prices vary from one store local to me to another store in a different county/city. A store can sell a more expensive item at a loss/cheaper (Geneon) if the profit margin is higher on other related items (ADV/Bandai). What I said about the BB pricing structure here in L.A. and I am not surprised that the BB in Shreveport would have Geneon at a lower price. Given that a few months ago BB sold the titles at S.R.P. there are still a few prices that have yet to be rolled back on some titles but that is an individual case by case basis.

Thats for Hellsing. I got it for $20. The site is half.com. Most of their stuff is cheap and you can also buy brand new items as well as fairly good ones.

[edit: the last two dvds listed (the $90+ ones) were legit, however the really cheap, 2 disc sets were boots. Next time maybe just post the specs of what you purchased, but a good rule of thumb is that if you're buying a series that only has 2 discs when the box set had 4 discs...it's a boot. -L]
