    I think I need a good movie collection. Or some video games, just whatever I happen to find.

    Yeah the problem is that I don't have any consumables I need, like dvds or etc (I buy them elsewhere), and the Wii won't be purchased until spring 2007 when new games come out.

    I ended up giving it to my parents who will buy another usb hard drive.

    Break it up into 3 50$ gift certificates and give them away to cousins/siblings for Christmas.

    Boldly go.

    It'd'll be funny if I used a gift card to buy another gift card :)

    You're better off saving it towards a big purchase- like a digital camera (they have better deals on their dicas online)... pay part with the giftcard- the rest with your money. $150 doesn't get anything long-lasting... just videogames or dvds (which isn't a bad idea either ;
    Most of the time you poeple say the amercan version sucks it virtually the same, just eddited and some name changes.

    A few exceptions yes, but they have plenty of great Anime.

    But yess, put your money towards a bigger savings.

    Yes, "us people" do say such things- not only because we truly think the repackaging sucks, but because they split up the series into discs with few episodes and overcharge you for the whole lot. ^^

    Why would I pay $20 per 3-episode disc of dubbed Viz releases?

    first and foremost, i am always drawn to the electronics section, especially video-games. i could probably pick up a few gadgets on the way as well.

    Usually you get 4, maybe five actually. Not many run off 4 anymore. Plus there are sets so you don't pay as much.

    You can also just switch it Jap with english subtitles to avoid bad voice acting. But what exactly is repackaging?

    CDs. I mean, that's, like, 10-15 CDs. That's totally awesome.

    (SPOILER)Now I'm curious. Are you saying that music bought at best Buy will somehow be on lower quality CDs? I don't see any way that's possible, but it's something to know if it's true, since I buy a lot of CDs there. They cost less. Ha! Is there a reason?
