Ouch. O_O
Mine was around $160, but so far it's $125 - I bought quite a few of them (as they were novels and plays) at Borders with their 40% off coupons. Unfortunately, I couldn't buy my only textbook this semester there 'cause they didn't have it. xD
Need to buy two more novels (if you can call a Mills & Boon book a novel) before I'm done with my book list. Back to Borders . . .

I spent $348.65 for mine, and that was after the member discount. Not too bad, and thankfully the Psych textbook gets used again next semester...

I don't think so, because when I bought my book the dvd hadn't arrived yet, so they told me to come and get it in the first week. Meh.
