Yeeeouch. That's a very good reason. $80? Jeez. I got my S1-3 from Amazon.ca for thirtysomething bucks each a while back, but unfortunately it was after I'd moved back from Toronto, so the shipping to NY just about doubled it. Sheesh. DVD prices are cruel. Just regular TV DVD prices are cruel, not even getting into the insane $100-for-13-episodes racket HBO and Showtime have going on. I need a cheaper hobby.
