The Shield Season 3 DVD boxset cheap at Tesco

In amongst the yellow card displays racks of cheap DVDs in my local Tesco, I saw season 3 of the superb TV show The Shield stickered at £12.
The cheapest place that I can find it online is £25.89, so this is quite a bargain.
I was hoping that it would be a misprice at the till as well, but it scanned at £12. Of course I used a couple of vouchers on it as well, so I'm rather happy.
I'll be checking the selection of DVDs thoroughly tomorrow, as my cursory browsing before had led me to think that there weren't any DVDs that I would like in there.

    Been after Season 3 for some time and this is an absolute bargain. Easily half the price it is anywhere else. Just dashed out and got a copy. Will be watching Vic and the boys tonight in the best cop series ever. Cheers.

    I was beginning to think that this may have been an isolated misprice, as even on eBay it's at least £19 or £20.
    I'm glad that you managed to find it too.
    I haven't got 1 or 2 yet (I watched them when they were on TV though), as I'm waiting on vouchers from some survey sites to get them. As soon as they come through, I'll have a Shield marathon. Hopefully by then I'll be able to find 4 and maybe even 5 at a similar price.
  • Absolute steal, if you'll pardon the pun, thanks OP! Along with The Wire this is the best cop drama around!
    MB profits (started December 2008): £708.29 Target: Lots more!

    These are both now available for around £12 each (try sendit.com) at many internet retailers and are probably not likely to get much cheaper. Can't complain at that price for 14-15 episodes. Seasons 4 & 5 still cost £25+ but I'll be waiting for the price on these to fall. Thanks again.

    No question for me, it's The Shield everytime.
  • The chield is best but the wire is damn good too!
  • Tesco Huntingdon has none in stock, just season 1 and 2 for £20
