Ok. I now have all three of the Miyazaki films released domestically last week (Spirited Away, Kiki's Delivery Service, and Castle in the Sky). Having purchased all of them now, I wish to impart what I have learned to those who may follow me. So, if you have not yet purchased any of them, or if you only got one, heed my words.
First, shop around. I got mine for $18.86 at a local Wal-Mart, saved a buck or so compared to Best Buy's $19.99. All three films should be the same price-ish. Now, do this. Buy just one, NOT all three at the same time. You'll be screwing yourself over if you do that. Buy one, go home, and open it. There's a coupon inside each one for $2 off of either CitS, KDS, SA, or Princess Mononoke (if you do not have Mononoke, get it last, because I don't know if it has this coupon). After opening it, go back and get one of the others with the coupon. The use the coupon from that one to get the final film. If you don't yet have Princess Mononoke, use the coupon from the third one to get a discount off of it (turning it down from $22.99 to $20.99. Mononoke is more expensive because it's been out longer and is beyond the first month. Most DVDs are cheaper in the first month, for some reason. I got Hellsing 1 for $19.99 at Best Buy when it first came out, now it's $22.99.)
So, yeah. Get them one at a time and you can use the coupon to save money. Smart, neh?
