DVD DEAL: 'Curb' the price

Larry David provides today's deal in Amazon's HBO week.

Thursday's gold box discount gets you six season sets of Curb Your Enthusiasm -- $90 for sets collectively list priced at about $240.

Although it initially seemed those sets might comprise the complete series, David eventually decided to return for the seventh season on HBO last fall that included David's characteristically cranky take on the eventuality of a Seinfeld TV reunion. Season 7 hasn't yet been announced for DVD release, but of course it's just a matter of time. (Curb seasons generally cost around $35 each on Amazon.)

PREVIOUS DEALS INCLUDED:

You've probably figured out already that it's HBO Week at Amazon's gold box daily-deal space.

Tuesday's discount goodie: the complete set of the witty funeral home saga Six Feet Under, all 5 seasons and 63 episodes for $68.

That's a great drop from the list price ($180, which few people ever pay), and a bit off the usual Amazon price ($85).

This is the repackaged set, in a smaller box than the earlier gift set, without the soundtrack CD or the collectible fake-turf cemetery top.

So if you didn't see Michael C. Hall before Dexter, or Peter Krause before Dirty Sexy Money (and NBC's upcoming Parenthood), or creator Alan Ball's work before True Blood, now's the time to love this quirky show to death.

MONDAY'S DEAL WAS:

If you can't get enough of Tony, Carmela, Livia, Uncle Junior and the rest of the Jersey crew, Amazon's Monday deal is the complete DVD set of The Sopranos.

List priced at $300, it's $120 for one day only (Amazon price normally around $160).

Note that this is the repackaged set released last fall. It's not the 2008 "gift set" that was list priced at $100 more, with discs packaged in a hardback book, all housed in a black fabric box.

But if it's the episodes you want, go for it. Today's deal set has all the on-disc extras -- commentaries, cast roundtable, even creator David Chase reacting to the outcry about the final moments of his series finale.

It doesn't, however, contain the two soundtrack discs (which fans may already own anyway).
