Oh, that is okay. I wasn't planning on buying it until I saw the emails
from you guys. I got the original back in August and I didn't want to spend
the money on another one, but it comes with so much extra stuff and even
though it's 26 bucks, you get a free movie ticket worth 7 (around here), so
it's like I'm only paying 19 dollars for 4 DVD's!!
So, it's no problem. This is the first time I'd seen that and I thought
that since we all share very similar tastes in movies and such, this would
be a great way to save each other some money.
If another movie is going to come out that we all want to get, maybe we can
try it then.

I was going to do that yesterday, but I honestly figured everyone else
had
bought it already. I assumed I was the only one that wasn't going to rush
out
and get it on Tuesday. I'm sorry Damon. I'll be sure to do that the next
time
I hear of something like this.
