Fry's Electronics actually has cheaper prices. For example, Vandread DVDs are 19.99 at Fry's and 22.99 at Best Buys. (It's only about 3 dollars difference, but still) I also got my Nadesico box set at Best Buys, I think I got it on November 10th or sometime around then. (For 59.99, because the employee didn't mess up in my case

) Unfortunately one of the episodes, I think it was the episode in which Akito is wondering about his role as a pilot in the beginning of the episode after the opening, glitches at that point, which makes me believe that something happened during shipping.
At any rate, according to a friend of mine who helps out at a local import store, electronic retail stores like Fry's and Best Buy already increase the prices of their DVDs around 100 percent so as to cover costs should anything merchandise need to be returned. (I had to return my Magic Knights Rayearth Season 2 box set to Fry's once because they had 3 of the same volumes placed together in the same box, so I know that DVDs do get returned every now and then.) It makes me shudder to think how much stores like Media Play and other generally "domestic" video stores are increasing the prices if that's the case. (I've seen the Trigun set for 250 dollars at Media Play.)
Is it any wonder that there are illegal import DVDs made in Taiwan and Hong Kong where most collections are almost always 50 dollars or less? 0_0;
