Amazon.ca 50% off Fox 1st Season box sets
Right now Amazon.ca is running a special, 50% off the first season of fox box sets. The $10 shipping to the US kills most of the savings, but for X-Files season 1 it seems to bring the total price to about $60.80 shipped to the US, which is actually quite a deal.

^ Ummm, all you have to do is purchase it....they will charge convert and charge your credit card the equivalent USDs (or maybe they charge your CC Canadian $s and your credit card converts it...either way, its not an issue).
Anyone know if FOX does bilingual covers in Canada? I know they dont show up that way in the pics, but neither do the ones that I know are bilingual.

Don't forget your coupons...
MAPVSQ2SAVE5 $5 off, expires 08/31/04
MAPSCTELE5BP $5 off, 08/31/04
MAPMBNABANK5 $5 off, 09/30/04
I may just have to finally pick up Mary Tyler Moore. I'd get Planet of the Apes too, but I already got it.

Just to remind fellow Canadians, all of these Fox boxsets are alot cheaper at Futureshop.ca or at there B&M's. I picked up 24 Season 1 for $28.99 Cdn Funds. But Futureshop only ships inside Canada so anybody else is out of luck and should consider these Amazon deals

After the $5 coupon though, it only cost me 22 at amazon.ca, so I'm not going to cancel my order over $2

Check your past e-mails. Some of us got an e-mail from Amazon.ca back on June 30th with a $5gc to celebrate their ??? anniversary. I just tried mine (thinking that it was probably expired), but it worked! Helps take some of the sting off the shipping charges!

Bought Firefly today at Future Shop.
A few weeks ago when the sale originally started I picked up Futurama V1, Simpsons S1, Son of the Beach and King of the Hill.
Contemplating Dark Angel S1... but I know if I buy it, I'll wanna buy season 2, which I don't want to spent $50+ on.

So these are exactly the same as the American versions? Same packaging and SKU?

Thanks for the info. I just picked up Futurama V1 and Simpsons S1 for CDN$59.45, or US$45.35. That's about ten bucks cheaper than the best online shipped price I could find (Digital Eyes = US$55.96). Gotta love a 50% off sale and a $5 coupon to boot!

But at $27, I don't see how you can go wrong with Firefly. Just look at the reviews for it on amazon.com.
