ezydvd vs JB
After watching the great movie that is Mad Max 2 on Channel 9 last week I had the urge to purchase a copy of Mad Max on DVD to own a piece of Australian film history.
I thought for sure a copy of this 30 year old film would be in some bargain bin in town. After bumbling around in the City I came up with less then a desert scoundral scouraging for gasoline by digging a hole through bitumen with his bear hands (I even looked in one of those dirty hippy stores where they smoke various tabacco and listen to Black Sabbath while eating their cornflakes).
My friend Stackboy however, sat in the comfort of his bedroom and heard my plea for a Mad Max DVD and sent me a link on LS that showed ezydvd did have a copy.
Success! After looking briefly over the website my highly trained knee-jerk buying took into place and I hastily typed in my credit card information to have the DVD to be delivered to my door for a little over $36 AUD.
Certainly this is a premium price for such an old movie; but I justified it to myself that it was a ‘rare’ movie and one I couldn’t find easily.
To my dismay, today I walked into a real ezydvd store and there was Mad Max DTS DVD sitting there shining away at me; but to the tune of $14.95 AUD! Of course I realised that somewhere out there in the vast nonthingness of space and time that there would be another cheaper Mad Max DVD for purchase; I just didn’t bargin for that it would be the same (albiet online vs offline) store!
Asking the store attendent behind the counter if this DVD was on special or not, she answered with ‘Nope – that DVD has always been that price as I recall’! Those cunning ezydvd deviates have been at it again!
I’m going to attempt to try and redeem some of my dignity by writing nasty letters to the online store and demand for some type of compensation for such blatent price differences. I wouldn’t matter so much if it were $5 difference, but over double the price is too much of a low blow!
Max would be pissed.
