I guess your parents either A) Didnt realize they could've saved money by getting the Premium Bundle or B) Thats all they had left and didnt care about money.

and in most of these peoples cases posting here, money is no object to their parents ;)

AWESOME!

Mostly Music? If so, that's the version I originally ordered online through them - but then the owner had sold his own copy back to the store, so I got killer savings on it, being used.

And the two-for-one is a boxing day thing you goof. Either 20% off on one purchase or 2-for-1. And yes, it's been on for a while.
