The recent news that Netflix had decided to raise prices yet again was easily one of the most unpopular decisions ever made by a company. Even if it was a legit business move and Netflix has to make these changes to stay on top as they expand, it clearly was announced far too soon after their last hike, and anger spread the world wide.

If Netflix’s price increase was one of the worst things to happen to you recently, just remember that you’re not alone. Seinfeld star Jason Alexander and the Netflix Relief Fund are on a mission to help those of us who have been victimized by ever–rising prices, and this tragedy has not gone unnoticed.

Today’s Gold Box spotlight deal of the day over at Amazon is Seinfeld – The Complete Series DVD box set for only $84.49 (that’s 66% off the list price of $250.95).

Note, this deal is only for today, Thursday December 16, 2010, until midnight PST while supplies last, so grab this well you can. Check out the DVD bonus features below, along with a shot of the interior packaging.

The long-running show infamously known to be about “nothing” starred comedian Jerry Seinfeld as himself, along with Jason Alexander as his conniving best friend George, Julia Louis-Dreyfus as his ex-girlfriend turned gal pal Elaine, Michael Richards as his eccentric next door neighbor Kramer, and Wayne Knight as his neighbor/nemesis Newman. Jerry and his pals live in New York City and somehow manage to turn the mundane into a laugh riot, making the show — created by Curb Your Enthusiasm‘s Larry David — one of the funniest in sitcom history.

This 32-disc two-volume DVD set contains all 180 episodes of the nine-season series along with The Official Coffee Table Book, a 226-page, bound anthology filled with photos, quotes, trivia from every episode. This collectible book comes with a bonus disc featuring “The Roundtable,” an hour-long feature that’s a reunion of the entire cast along with Larry David on the ninth anniversary of the series finale.
