Even after 30% off at Borders, everything on the Amazon.com list was still cheaper. 30% off was still too high so I bought online at non-discount prices and saved more than I would using the Borders 30% off price.
I don't know if this high-price trend applies to CDs and standard DVDs, but I suspect it does.

Doug, this is precisely the reason I (and maybe many others) get so excited when the big 30% coupon rolls out. Borders is way more expensive than most local stores; the reason I keep going back? The SELECTION is way more extensive than most local stores in my area. No one can touch the number of Criterions they stock, let alone a lot of older, off-beat titles and international titles. The coupon kinda gives me a feeling that I'm not paying too much for something I know I can find elsewhere cheaper, but walk into a store pick it up and watch it the same evening. I also wait for the DDD bi-annual sales, but that's another topic
