If you are true collector, then price is literally not a concern. To find good collections, you need to ask your hotel concierge or find a more appropriate forum than FHpubforum.
Nah, I was only wondering if buying DVDs in shops in the US was worth the time/effort. I can easily order online, but if I can save by purchasing them overthere, then I can spend that money on doing fun stuff in NY
I must confess, it sounds to me like you are going on a trip of lifetime and you aren't even willing to enjoy it. If you can't afford your trip, postpone it until you actually can, otherwise you are just going to one of the most expensive places on earth in order to become a pan-handler for a week or two.
Well, then you misunderstood completely. I can afford it, otherwise I wouldn't go. I want to do a lot of fun stuff, but since that is quite expensive, I'm checking to see if I can save elsewhere. Not everything has to be superexpensive as I'm already noticing from this thread (renting bikes a few streets away from Central Park instead of in the park itself, for example). Also, this is of course not the only place where I'm gathering info
If, by gathering this info, I can have the same fun for less money, then why wouldn't I go for it? Or even more fun, for example: I had scrapped the idea of seeing a Broadway show, but since I now know that I can see them for half the price, I think I will. So it's about options: my main purpose is to se the sights and have fun. If that is gonna cost me a few hundred bucks, then so be it. But if I can save a hundred bucks by checking out the different options, why not? And since I have never been there, and some of the people here have, I'm asking.
TKTS booth sales do not require a membership. you just show up early enough to maybe get a shot at the shows you want to see. With an open mind and a decent theatre review you will definitely find something to love.

also check out www.nycgo.com for some decent offers, which will become more numerous as your trip draws closer.
Thanks, I'm looking into the possibility to pre-order the tickets, as I saw on one of the sites I found browsing for info on this subject. There was also a mentioning of "rush tickets" and I got the impression that you needed a student ID to buy those, hence my question.
