Can something be too cheap?

X-Files Season Sets for only $19.99 this week at Best Buy. Do you realize that, when they first came out, they cost 5 times that much? And their regular price these days is still around $45.

So, if someone were a fan of the show, and had bought Season 1 already, he could buy the rest of the seasons for less than the price of buying just two seasons when they were first released!

That, of course, would still be almost $200 total. Still a chunk of change.

So, there's the rub -- if I buy one more season, why stop at one? But if I don't stop at one (or two) then I'm spending too much money right now.

Must it be all or nothing?

And don't let me start thinking about the fact that EVERY Fox show is that price this week. "The Simpsons." "24." Yikes!

Then again, are there any Fox shows besides those three worth owning (for me?)

For that matter, are those three worth owning? Who would watch them with me?

If I just wait long enough, the sale will expire and I won't have the option.

That's called "pulling a 'Nordmoe.'"

Unless I buy it at the higher price anyway.

That's called "pulling a 'Shawn.'"
