Paying the normal price of a normal box set of anime on dvd makes me enough of a fan already :)

Especially when some of my friends that KNOW I can download any damned anime on dvd already (if I feel like being a cheap bastard) wonder why I would want to spend ANY money on the actual dvds in the first place.

But I LIKE having the real thing for series that actually mattered to me.

I'm just not that easy to taunt with silly little doodads. And a tshirt meant to emulate a fuku is just too silly for me (example given is in this case from the deluxe Lucky Star dvds).
Anime, one of the few things about the internet that doesn't make me hate the internet.

Well the money went more into the 3 extra DVDs (not 4 as I thought by mistake) and single CDs.

So, Im assuming the "swag" is just Haruhi memorabilia?
I think I'd rather go with the both set. Doesn't sound worth quadrupling the price over.

I'm honestly surprised that there are people who don't know what "swag" is. Then again... I only recently learned (about 2 months ago) what "GLOMP" is.

Ordered the Haruhi Box Set off of Rightstuf.com last week. Turns out the orders are so backed up that I may not get it for another month.

And I saw it just sitting there on the shelf at Best Buy today... :cry:

I saw one in HMV. Overpriced much. Well maybe I'm just poor?
