RightStuf’s Geneon Bountiful Bargains REMIX – Nope, I didn’t buy anything this time…but a friend did.
I was just chilling at work the other day when a friend came over and told me that RightStuf was having another sale.
- Get 10 Geneon titles for $50 ( Use coupon code REMIX10 ); OR
- Get 25 Geneon titles for $100 ( Use coupon code REMIX25 )
After the ADV sale I was pretty sure that I would be on board for the Geneon sale when it happened. Actually, I was pretty sure I would be there for any sale that happened.
So, I immediately started putting together my 25 DVD shopping list. I literally began drooling as I watched the total cost rack up. It was amazing watching the cost skyrocket 50, 100, 250, 342.12, 400. It is just so tempting to spend a $100 when it seems that I will save so much. That is save in comparison to what I would have had to pay if there were no sale. Would I have actually bought these if I did have to pay full price?
The answer is maybe and maybe not.
For some, simply having the subs is enough. The problem is that there are some among us who have a wanting, a yearning, an indescribable need to possess these overpriced plastic self-destructing shiny discs.
Oh, we are a shameful bunch.
My coworker gorged on Lupin III, which isn’t exactly what I wanted to spend my hard earned money on. So, I loaded up on shows that I found more interesting such as Black Heaven, Gatekeepers, Haibane Renmei, Koi Kaze, Sol Bianca, Texhnolyze, Trigun, and a few others. I think I managed to get the complete series of Black Heaven to Sol Bianca, but the Tex and Trigun were only partial so I dropped them and still had a few slots. My memory is a little fuzzy from that initial DVD-buying endorphin rush. Don’t quote me on that.
It was at that point that I realized that I had watched all of these series. Not only watched the series, but I watched the Genoen US releases of these series. I was extremely tempted to buy anyway, but I figured I would wait.

Restraint…how long?
I noticed that I had already watched a surprisingly large number of the shows listed for sale. This alarms me and makes me proud at the same time.

Oh, we are a shameful bunch.
My shame of wanting to legally own and financially support the creators and licensors of good series runs deep to the bone :(
Don’t get me wrong ko, when I said I watched the Geneon keleases what I meant was that I had rented them.
Just when I finished spending money replacing my Azumanga Daioh & Ichigo Marshmaru DVDs. Not to mention that box set of Haruhi I bought. Now a sale comes along. Uguuu. I’m so weak
I’ve wanted to buy Azumanga Daioh for some time. Again, it’s a show that I have already seen (rented).
I usually end up passing on titles that I’ve rented in the past. Most of the time, when I purchase DVDs, it’s so that I can relax and listen to the dubs rather than subs.
