Why did you guys pre-order through Amazon (or wherever)your DVD package(knowing you'd have to wait a few days for shipping) when all you have to do is go down to the Wal-Marts of the world when it will be in store on the 9th and buy it instantly ? Looks like we have a lot of Fredo's out there...

if you have to worry about 5 to 10 dollars you shouldn't be spending your money as you can't afford it....I would hate to think that someone is going into the poorhouse no matter how much they love these films.

Hey, listen...I don't think anyone minds spending the money for the DVD if they can afford it, but if you can save 5-10 bucks, why the heck not?!?!?

How about those rich people who have tons of money,but are too cheap and snobby to get it and then they hide their kids eyes so they dont see all"the bad things of the world",and saying things like,"well I would never.."
Sorry to all the rich people in here.If you got it spend it.

Gee apples, I was just thinking about the person who drives across town to save 2 cents a gallon or spends two hours just to save 5 dollars...time is money and money is time....save your time and spend the extra $5.00 and enjoy the shows.

This DVD set will save us all money. All those times we'll hear ourselves saying "er sorry, I can't come out tonight, i've er, got stuff to do" before settling down infront of the TV with a glass of cheap wine, a packet of Ritz crackers and hours of digital Godfather magic. Salut! grin

I pre-ordered mine knowing that Amazon will have it in early and have it sent to me. I actually recieved mine on the release date anyway. So they are not breaking any boundries. I also didn't want to walk into town to buy it (I can be pretty lazy sometimes) because i'm waiting for my new motor bike on wednesday. so i'm without transport.


So die all who betray Giuliano

Thanks for the advice, CamillusDon; but I'm not buying the DVD anyway...don't have a player!!
I think several have answered as to how ordering from Amazon ended up saving time AND money. Go for it guys...you've convinced me!

Ever notice how the people who say things like this are usually the ones who have the poorest grammar and sentence structure? Er... sorry, just the English Major in me rearing its ugly head. It's a cross to bear, y'know. wink

Capisco. I carry the same cross, and I'm not even an English major! After years of seeing/hearing bad grammar I've come to accept it as "English" since proper grammar seems to be in the minority. In fact, I've actually caught myself being guilty of it due to environmental exposure! Sad...

JG grin

PS But even worse than an English major, I was a Psych major eek (although I never acted like one, and always hated talking to them :D)

But some of us who slip up and use bad grammer and/or poor spelling, and let me add really, really poor typing..... still make one hell of a living! We do not have to ask where our next meal is coming from or how much it costs if we want to buy it. See that is what is so great about America. It has been very very good to me! The problem is that we try to get our kids to do better then we have. Don Vito will tell you the same thing...." Michael I had plans for you"
