The quadruple-platinum album, originally released in 1979, was the sophomore effort for the Boston-based new wave pop band and included the popular tunes "Let's Go," "Dangerous Type," and the title track -- three great songs definitely worth the three bucks on their own.

Written by frontman Ric Ocasek with vocals by bassist Benjamin Orr, "Let's Go" is probably the most recognizable by the general public, especially since its currently being used in TV ads for Lee Jeans.

Note, this sale is today only [...]]]> http://geeksofdoom.com/2009/11/14/mp3-album-deal-the-cars-candy-o/feed/ 0 http://geeksofdoom.com/2009/11/13/deal-59-off-doctor-who-complete-season-dvds/ http://geeksofdoom.com/2009/11/13/deal-59-off-doctor-who-complete-season-dvds/#comments Fri, 13 Nov 2009 13:01:08 +0000 Empress Eve http://geeksofdoom.com/?p=33203 59% off Doctor Who Complete Season DVDs.

Offered in this deal are the complete season DVDs for Seasons 1-4, which starred Christopher Eccleston and then David Tennant as the Doctor.

Each season comes out to only $32.49 each (down from the list price of $79.98).

I search around the Web and saw these DVDs at other vendors are going for between $64.99 and $72.86, so this deal is really a score!

Therefore, whatever bargains I find, I'm going to pass on to you, dear readers, typically along with a little math to help you figure out its worth (I try my best, but please don't hold my math accountable!).

I was finishing up my review for the Up 4-Disc Combo Pack, which will be released this Tuesday, November 10, when I noticed that there's a pre-order deal for it.

If you pre-order the Combo Pack, which includes the Blu-ray version as well as the standard DVD and a Digital Copy, you can get $10 off a second Blu-ray title from a select list: UP Combo Pack Deal. The select list includes great Blu-ray sets for movies like Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Bolt, Sleeping Beauty, the Pirate of the Caribbean trilogy set, and much more.

Choose from the list and enter promo code DISNEYBD checkout to receive your credit. Remember, the Up 4-Disc Combo Pack comes out this Tuesday, which means you have to pre-order it with the purchase of your second Blu-ray title before then.

If you're not sure whether to get the 4-disc Blu-ray version or the 2-disc standard DVD version, right now they are both $19.99. The Blu-ray version comes with an extra disc of bonus features not included in the single- and 2-disc versions, plus it comes with a standard DVD copy that you can watch an any DVD player. Getting the Blu-ray version is obviously the better deal, and it seems like this is standard practice for Disney Blu-ray releases [...]]]> http://geeksofdoom.com/2009/11/08/deal-up-blu-ray-combo-pack-pre-order-special/feed/ 1 http://geeksofdoom.com/2009/10/31/halloween-deals-ghostbusters-video-game-nightmare-revisited-mp3-more/ http://geeksofdoom.com/2009/10/31/halloween-deals-ghostbusters-video-game-nightmare-revisited-mp3-more/#comments Sat, 31 Oct 2009 13:50:50 +0000 Empress Eve CandymanDanny ElfmanDraculaGhostbustersThe MunstersThe Nightmare Before Christmas http://geeksofdoom.com/?p=32200

As I was compiling this list, the first "Lightning Deal" at Amazon went up, so I'm adding it quickly to the top of this post so you can see it before it runs out at 9am PST (or while supplies last before that): Zombie Bundle: Day of the Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Evil Dead II on Blu-ray.

Let's do the math: that's $3.87 per movie -- that's an insane deal! And you know these movies are great, and therefore worth more than just a few bucks each.

Last time this baby was on sale it came out to less than twelve bucks each. NOW, for the sale price of $52.99 it would be like paying around $10.60 for each of the five individual seasons of Angel on DVD. That's an insane bargain! This is definitely the lowest I've ever seen this box set go for.
