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.
