For as long as I can remember I've received periodic junk mail offerings to join Columbia House... I finally caved in and joined the DVD club. I mean, 7 DVD's for $30 with only 3 more to buy, how could I say no?!? But they've already messed up... They sent me 2 copies of Shawshank Redemption, and I'm pretty sure I only wanted one. Now, if they had sent the second SR in addition to the 7 DVDs I ordered I'd be happy (yay, a free movie to give or sell or whatever). But of course, the 2nd SR was instead of one of the other movies I ordered (and I can't for the life of me remember what movie it was... I guess it was one I really wanted!) I suppose I can call customer service and get them to exchange it, but I've put it off since I assume it'll be a major hassle (and I still gotta figure out what movie I wanted in its place). Damn you Columbia House!
When you dance with the devil...
I never called Columbia House, so I still have two copies of Shawshank. And now that the special edition has come out, I'm sure the value of my regular copy has hit rock bottom...
