    If you're really patient, just wait until it reaches $19.95 or even less. I'm amazed at some of the Blu-ray deals that Amazon has had recently. Some as much as 80% off retail!

    Well, after you have had a chance (hopefully) to watch the new Blu ray of The King and I, I'm sure that you'll have an opinion of it. And I, as well as many others here eagerly await, and value your thoughts. :)

    Techman707: Sadly, we all have an expiration date. I just don't know how I'd handle knowing what it is. I wish you all the best, and hope that we both live long enough to see Around the World in 80 Days on BD looking and sounding as good as Oklahoma! :)
