A story about a man named Bob.

Please note, the characters and events portrayed are entirely fictional. Any resemblance to real people or names is purely coincidental.

Today I bring you a story of a man named Bob, who works at online etailer DVD Plus. Now one day 'twas Bob's job to list "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: 2 Disc Special Editon Limited Edition Giftset" for sale. Now foolish Bob accidentally set the price as £13.87 rather than £23.87. As I scoured the internet I stumbled upon this occurance. What is the point of this story I hear you ask? Well basically I got the giftset for only £13.87, a ridiculously cheap price for a new release and Bob probably got fired, as I alerted virtually everyone I know to go and order it. the following day the price was changed back and since DVD Plus list the precise number of each DVD they have in stock, about 12 hours afterwards, they had shifted a further 50 copies. So quite a substantial loss of potential earnings one would presume.

And for those of you who care my DVD is 01382 of 20,000.

In other news today saw the arrival of the R1 Pokemon master Quest Box Set 1. 32 episodes for only $19.99, not bad going really so I'm ploughing my way through those.

Also today saw the arrival of the "Pokemon Chronicles" Boxset featuring Volumes 1 - 3. Rather smugly I can say that if you get the boxset, volume 3 comes in it's own case with it's own cover, rather than being tacked on with the Volume 2 DVD, as the previously released DVD was. Yay for me!
