Don't remember what I paid for it pre-release through HBO, but I think it was a lot more than that.

Oh well, it was a special deal where they sent me the first episode right away so I got a chance to see that this summer.

This WILL be purchased very soon especially since they've decided to delay releasing Gran Turismo 5 AGAIN, that I pre-ordered and was all excited about getting yesterday.  :mad:

When BoB was first released, my fiance got it from Amazon for a little over $100 but then it did come in a metal tin with an "authentic" steel WW2 canteen that was stamped "Hecho en Mexico". lol

Well take it with a grain of salt but Kaz said yesterday at SEMA "The discs are being stamped as we speak." I've pretty much stopped paying attention to any thing Kaz and Sony say but for him to say that and not be true would the end of any credibility he has left.

Ding ding ding, close enough.  I think after shipping and handling, the original DvD release of BoB was pushing $140 (which did come in a nice metal tin, but I didn't get the collectors with the canteen).  I think it was one of the first TV series to DvD releases and they were pricing it based on the fact it had like 6-7 DvDs in it.  The next two years after that it was in the $100-120, before it finaly kept dropping lower and lower to where it is today (on par with the rest of the multi-dvd TV specials released on DvD).
