We're in a code drought.

Maybe we're spoiled (we are), but we haven't had a good code in over a week. I have an account just sitting here ready for fulfillment, but without free shipping or a B1G1 (or both), I just can't seem to bring myself to pull the trigger and "settle" for a 5.84 average. Anyone else in the same boat?

I admit that CH has spoiled me. I have two accounts waiting to be fulfilled but I am going to wait for a B1G1 code and hopefully free shipping.

I have to wonder if the drought has anything to do with the BMG buyout... I hope this isn't the new way it will be.

I also think it's because of BMG.

The average price per DVD is still soooo much better than it was only a couple of years ago with CH that it is amazing to me that you guys are this disappointed over paying under $6 per DVD.

I remember when we were all thrilled that the averages dropped under $8 apiece.

Scotty - I don't think anyone is disappointed; just constantly looking for a better price. Frugality is the trait that keeps us with CH, and to that there is no limit. I have little doubt that if the "standard" deal reduced the price of DVD's to $1, we would still be here looking for that special deal that gets us DVD's for 80 cents.

I hate to say it but I think that the good days just might be over. Let's hope that I'm wrong.
