With BMG/COlumbia house when i was a kid if you say you wanted to cancel
they would say ok we'll let you stay on without mailing you a cd
unless you pick.

That was nice

Subject: Re: columbia house dvd question

I'd say don't touch Columbia House with a 10 foot pole.  I got sucked
into that for CD's when I was younger, and it was a huge mess.  I did my

"10 free CD" request thing, but they sent two wrong ones.  When I tried
to send them back, they wouldn't take them.  That, and after satisfying
my membership requirements, I recieved a CD in the mail once every two
or three weeks.  If I didn't want it, I had to mail it back at my
expense.  If I did, I had to send them a check.

Needless to say, this got annoying, and it took more than a month of
annoyed letters and at least two hours on hold to cancel my membership.

I say that, since you might want widescreen DVDs, but if you get the
fullscreen version, CH might not let  you swap them out.  That, and I
think it's a racket anyway.  :)
