Highway Robbery
This past weekend, I thought I stopped by HMV on 86th and Lexington to check out what they had left, since that store location was closing. On the door, it was a whopping 40% off all merchandise except for sale items. Of course! So I walked down the aisle looking for some bargain DVDs. Instead, I encountered a copy of Penelope Cruz’s movie Woman on Top for $ 34.99.
What the heck! Who would buy that for $ 35 bucakaroos. It’s not even an Academy Award winning film or a 2 disk DVD set. Who does HMV think they are. Highway Robbery, I say!
So that night, I decided to hop onto the HMV website. In which, Woman on Top DVD is selling for $ 15.12 USD ($22.99 Canadian). Now, that sounds about right. Still pretty pricey for a Penelope Cruz flick.
All I can say is there ain’t no discount at the HMV on 86th and Lexington.
