Smallville DVDs on Amazon

While watching tonight's episode of Smallville, I decided to check out the price of the DVDs on amazon. I was interested in purchasing the Complete First Four Seasons set. Let's note that this option is nothing different than purchasing the individual DVD box sets of the individual seasons (actually it also includes the pilot episode as well.)

However, it's a good thing I'm such a stickler for figuring out exactly how much I'd be saving by purchasing the box set. The complete set is currently selling for $165.32. But if you sum up the prices of the individual pieces of the set, it comes out to $151.90.

Either amazon gave the task of pricing this one to the intern, or they're hoping to make some extra cash off less-than-observant customers.



update: Oh, and I forgot to mention that this evening's episode contained what had to be the most annoyingly blatant product placements I've ever seen. Lois' new car, which just happened to be the same model that was being pitched by Ford in their key sponsorship for the episode, was entirely too significant throughout the story in a painful, hamhanded way. Bad WB...bad.
