[quote name='eldad9']If you wait for the box sets, it frequently works out to less than $10 (and sometimes less than $5) per DVD.[/QUOTE]
Especially if you can double-up with a fantastic deal from, say Right Stuf International (usually through a Weekly Sale) or Deep Discount DVD. Ahhh...it was nice to grab the Big O boxsets for less than $30 apiece, picking up Urusei Yatsura volumes for less than $11 apiece...
Outrageously cheap, R1 anime is most definitely out there. The only problem is waiting for it, at times. I'm still waiting around a little bit longer to flesh out my RoD TV collection but...hey, I've already seen the series, so it's not so much a priority, at least!
