Deep anime discounts at Best Buy
#1
Just when we had Best Buy figured out for their pricing schemes, they (at least the store where I was today) took at least half-off their old prices for some anime titles.

These, by the way, are current, first-run titles of series still being released -- not special collections or reissues.

And, in some cases, some titles are from companies where you expect to pay alot for their titles.

Examples include:

Popotan (Geneon) -- vol. 1: now $12.99; vol. 2 now $14.99 (orig. $24.99 each)

Gungrave (Geneon, I think) -- now $14.99

Super Marionette (?) (Anime Works) -- now $5.99

ROD TV (Geneon) -- some DVDs $14.99 each

Azumanga Daioh vol. 3 (ADV) -- $9.99

Now's the good time to stock up before Best Buy changes their mind.

Of course, not all drastic price changes like these are for the best -- I saw a Hellsing DVD on sale for $123.99. Just one DVD in a standard case.

Heat Guy J 3-DVD pack (Episodes 1-12) (Geneon) $19.95 for the set
