Queer as Folk is amazon.com's Gold Box deal of the day.

UH. REMEMBER HOW I PAID THIS MUCH FOR SEASON 5? GRR.

Remember how much everyone paid for the first few seasons when they were new? lol. Good times, good times.

Already wanting it to be Lure-time. Is it Lure time yet?! 3 hours to go! So far away.

Your Justin icon!!!!

You know, that price is so good that if I didn't own them all already, I'd buy it!

[identity profile] amelialourdes.livejournal.com 2010-08-18 03:02 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL! Total look of disbelief on his face. I love it.

I know! Me too! I remember S1 and S2 were around $120 when they first came out. I can't even imagine paying those prices anymore.

Are you feeling better? Are you ready for Luresday?!

Each or all at once? Yeah, that's still a lot! I can't imagine paying those kind of prices now for these.

[identity profile] amelialourdes.livejournal.com 2010-08-18 03:06 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm so glad! Only 3 hours. Omg. 3 longggggggggg hours. :\

[identity profile] amelialourdes.livejournal.com 2010-08-18 03:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. That's still pretty cheap then for the entire box set.

[identity profile] likeknives.livejournal.com 2010-08-18 03:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I PAID $100 EACH FOR THE FIRST THREE SEASONS. GOD. DAMN.

Yah wasn't too bad.

Hehe love your "Your it's Serious" Prolly the best line from yesterday's show :-)

OMGWTF? I had to get mine from overseas back in the day and I must have spent like $300 or something.

2 HOURS AND 44 MINUTES TO GO.

RIGHT? ROBBERY, DVD RETAILERS. ROBBERY. :\

HOLY CHRIST. BUT YES, IT WAS EXPENSIVE. NOW IT'S CHEAP. WTF.

TIME. WHY ARE YOU SO SLOW? I'LL BE REJOICING IN THE HOUR MARK.

[identity profile] on-the-ground.livejournal.com 2010-08-18 03:30 pm (UTC)(link)
It's a very good price for people in USA but I do think what you have is MUCH more awesome.. the invidual R1 boxes are really gorgeous (even with S5 being kinda worse) and have all the extras (one the contrary, the R2 are AWFUL without extras, reason why I'd never buy them even if I had the money since I already have everything). If you saw the awful Spanish R2 box I saw here for the whole show you'd freak out with the horror lol.. I totally did.

I'm gonna be home so I'll watch ATWT live today too.

That is a ridiculously low price. Grrr!

I'm so jealous that you get to watch LuRe at work. I have to wait till I get home. :(

[identity profile] m4tth3w.livejournal.com 2010-08-18 03:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I really love this packaging, but I can't spend another $83 to add to the $350+ I've spent on the seasons separately. So sad.

[identity profile] amelialourdes.livejournal.com 2010-08-18 03:49 pm (UTC)(link)
It is! I want the box set. It just looks so pretty. Plus, my S1 and S2 is shot to hell. Won't buy it. Will resist. Don't need it. Think of Gale's tattoo. Resist.

Wish you could too! Hee. Think of it as an at home treat when you get there! :)

[identity profile] amelialourdes.livejournal.com 2010-08-18 03:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Word, dude. Word. It was just so much money. ... and still is.

[identity profile] jittrbugg.livejournal.com 2010-08-18 03:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh my, I paid so much for that. *tear* And I never really watch it much.

[identity profile] amelialourdes.livejournal.com 2010-08-18 03:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes! I love the individual boxes. This is just in the pretty one large white box set. You guys don't have any extras?? That's awful! Do you have an R1 player? That really sucks.

Yay for live watching! My favorite part of the day.

[identity profile] dani-blondy.livejournal.com 2010-08-18 04:00 pm (UTC)(link)
2 Hours to go :D

Woot Woot I start watching at 3am :D Is a Dork :-)

[identity profile] shadownyc.livejournal.com 2010-08-18 04:11 pm (UTC)(link)
OMG! That's quite a discount.

I'm looking forward to watching LuRe tonight after work. I hope it's a good ep.

I've even started writing some fic (I can't believe I wrote in another fandom)! LOL

[identity profile] on-the-ground.livejournal.com 2010-08-18 04:11 pm (UTC)(link)
My dvd player for TV is R2 because at that time and still these days you can't find R1 dvd players in the shops here.. and you know, everything you buy is a shop is R2 so that is the reason they give you if you ask about it.

I buy everything online so I get it in R2 because I prefer to watch it on TV and usually R1 dvds are also more expensive in the european online shops.. in amazon USA the shipping is very expensive and in Play is free)

But I set my dvd player in my laptop for R1 dvds so here I can see the stuff I have in R1 which is just things I wanted because they aren't on R2 or the special features are not in the R2 releases.

Totally.. and the worse is how awful the plastic boxes are. The first time I saw season 1 I couldn't believe it.

OMG whut? I paid like $80 for each season... :/ Thievery! And I bought the box set from someone for $100... Would have loved to have it new for less...

Also, I worked for tips at the time at a grocery store. The people at Best Buy loved me buying those DVDs and only having ones. :P Good times... lol.

[identity profile] fraserette.livejournal.com 2010-08-18 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I paid $90 for season 5 because amazon said the release date in Canada wouldn't be for another year and I wanted it then! During pride I saw the shiny gold box behind a glass door and I had to have..

I think three months later it got released for like $35, I was livid!!

[identity profile] reeface.livejournal.com 2010-08-18 06:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, man, that is a good price for the whole series. I want 'em. So purdy! :(( I feel a new wave of newbies coming in as those get sold... Also, holy crap. I paid that much for ONE season. :| But still, totally worth it. I know I couldn't've waited another 5+ yrs to own 'em. *clutches DVDs to my boobs*

This post's subject/icon are making my day, lol. Oh, Justin, I miss your WTFfaces. And your ass.

[identity profile] colorthenight.livejournal.com 2010-08-18 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Truefax Aimee, truefax. NGL, just bought it. I mean, what if one of my DVD's breaks one day or something?! *shifty eyes* OK so maybe I just wanted it and couldn't justify spending the money on something I already have... until today. *facepalm*

I also know that I'll probably cave and cave pretty badly. :\

It breaks my heart for how cheap stores are selling QaF these days, even here in my country. (WHERE, IF WE REMEMBER, IT WAS UNAVAILABLE IN 2006 WHEN I NEEDED IT.) The epicness of QaF isn't supposed to be sold for dumping prices. :(

[identity profile] colorthenight.livejournal.com 2010-08-19 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
Pshh, I am going to be a horrible influence. It is so cheap I bought one for my friend. I ORDERED TWO!

[identity profile] amelialourdes.livejournal.com 2010-08-20 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
The deal is pretty great! Hope people took advantage of it.

[identity profile] amelialourdes.livejournal.com 2010-08-20 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
It was! Today's deal is The L Word. Not as good, haha.

Lure fandom is so overwhelming in a good way! I haven nothing but positive thoughts of the episode. As they're happening in livefeed? I probably get a little nuts but I can sit back and soak it all in afterward, ha. How'd you like the clip from yesterday?

[identity profile] amelialourdes.livejournal.com 2010-08-20 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
I know, right! It's so cheap these days. But, I imagine most of us couldn't hold out a whole five years after the show aired until we bought it.

Haha, good times, indeed.

[identity profile] amelialourdes.livejournal.com 2010-08-20 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
That's about how much it was in the US when S5 was released. I'm pretty sure we were all robbed. When they first came out, they were $120 each. At least we don't have to go back to those prices.

[identity profile] amelialourdes.livejournal.com 2010-08-20 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
I know, right? This totally calls for newbies to come out and get the series they've always wanted to watch. I feel the [livejournal.com profile] queerasfolkfan posts already.

I would not be able to cope without all my DVDs for five years so ... it's okay. I think. :(( I think I'll cave around Christmas.

I definitely need a marathon! Marathon? Marathon. I watched 202 the other week. Heart? She is broken.

[identity profile] amelialourdes.livejournal.com 2010-08-20 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
SO CHEAP!

I want them to hike the prices right back up because I'm vindictive like that. :\

[identity profile] amelialourdes.livejournal.com 2010-08-20 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
Wow, crazy region differences!

[identity profile] shadownyc.livejournal.com 2010-08-20 10:53 am (UTC)(link)
I've really liked the clips and the entire show this week. I dvr the show every day so I can watch what I want and fast forward through the garbage. I'm thrilled that the kidnapping story is finally over -- most dragged out story line in ages.

Luke & Reid get closer and more comfortable with each other and I have to admit that I was a bit touched by Luke & Noah's first interaction at Java.

Why are DVDs so much? Gossip Girl comes out at $52 without many bonus features..wtf am I paying for?

[identity profile] fraserette.livejournal.com 2010-08-22 01:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Originally I couldn't afford it on my meager walmart salary, but luckily the friend I watched it with had "rich" older sisters who bought it, so many a day was spent REWATCHING everything!
