Earlier tonight I got Mass Effect and Hellgate: London Collector's Edition from Staples at 50% clearance price. Mass Effect was $29.97 and Hellgate: London Collector's Edition was $49.97. After the %50 cut, they were $14.98 and $24.98 respectively. Total for both games after the taxes was $45.16 :D. As for new DVDs, on Tuesday night I picked up both Chronicles Of Narnia: Prince Caspian 3-Disc Collector's Edition and Step Brothers (single disc version) for $32.83 and $17.83 respectively from Wal-Mart. Total after employee discount and taxes was $33.39 and $20.15. Anyhow with Tuesday the 9th around the corner, you can bet that Dark Knight will pretty soon be a part of my DVD collection as well.

Earlier tonight I picked up Open Season and The Last Legion from Future Shop for $14.99 and $9.99 respectively. Total was $28.23 after taxes. Before picking up those DVDs today, I picked up my car from the dealership after it had been there for more then a week for transmission repairs. Despite the high cost, I was very happy to get it back. For those that have in the past followed my blogs, I have had an 2004 Acura TSX for almost two years. During the time it was in the shop for repairs, I had a 2008 Kia Spectra with an auto slush-box tranny. Don't know about the rest of you, but I was somewhat embarassed having to drive that Kia on a regular basis. So for me, it was a GREAT feeling getting back my '04 TSX and shifting through that 6-speed clutch box . And besides rebuilding the gearbox due to a problem with the differential as it turned out and having the clutch replace since it would be better now then potentially doing it later, they mention that they also did a wheel alignment, some tuning of the fuel injectors and in the end saved me a small $124 off the original quote. So all-in-all, the end result was relatively positive despite the cost.

I recently picked up Wall E 3-Disc Special Edition from Wal-Mart on the day of its release for $32.83 ($33.39 after employee discount and taxes).  Since this month also contained employee appreciation week, I also ended up getting 20% off on three items of choice, including items that can be combined together as ONE item.  During the past two weeks, I bought a SanDisk Cruzer Micro 16GB Flash Drive for $49.98 ($45.18 after 20% and taxes), the Sony Cybershot 10.1 Mega Pixel Camera along with an 8GB Sony Memory Stick Pro Duo for $265.98 and $69.64 respectively combined ($240.44 and $62.96 respectively after discounts and taxes) and Fallout 3 Collector's Edition for $69.96 ($63.25 after discount and taxes).  And finally earlier tonight I got Hancock 2-Disc Unrated Special Edition with the Future Shop exclusive T-Shirt included from, well Future Shop of course for $27.99 ($31.63 after taxes).

And now finally for the BIG ugly!  My car is currently in the shop getting a transmission rebuild.  And if all of you know a little bit about cars.......those can be downright expensive!  Especially I guess with a car like mine!

I picked up Hellboy 2 The Golden Army 3-Disc Special Edition and The Clone Wars 2-Disc Special Edition on Tuesday evening for $27.83 and $28.83 respectively at Wal-Mart. Total was $57.62 after employee discount and taxes. On Friday evening after work, I got Kung Fu Panda for $17.83. Total would have been $20.15 after taxes as there was no employee discount due to it being a two day new release special price, plus I bought some canned pasta along with that as well . And finally last Tuesday evening I purchased Get Smart 2-Disc Special Edition for $27.83. Total would have been $28.30 after employee discount and taxes, since I also bought some car care products that evening alongside with it.

Well I ended up getting from Future Shop this past Friday, the Knight Rider Complete Collection set for $119.99 along with the Future Shop exclusive of Family Guy volume 6 Mad Genius Bonus Pack for $34.99. This Future Shop version includes (according to the packaging) the 100th episode script and Lois Kills Stewie Poster. As for the Knight Rider Complete Collection, well needless to say it includes all 4 seaons of it and other bonus features which I won't get into details here. But lets just say the package is a total of 24 DVDs! Anyhow the total spent at Future Shop for those two DVD sets was $175.13 after taxes. I also picked up Journey To The Centre Of The Earth from Wal-Mart for $23.83 ($24.24 after employee discount and taxes). And if you were all wondering, definitely expect me to be getting MORE DVDS soon. Especially with all of the interesting stuff that will be released all-the-way towards the coming holidays!
