My fiance is trying to claim that the new special editions of the original SW Trilogy count as three separate presents for me.

Yes, they are three individual gifts but it is one trilogy.

One trilogy = one gift.

Are we all agreed on this?

dclary would understand.

I can't for the life of me believe that someone like you has a fiancee.

Or that any real women would accept the star wars trilogy as an actual gift.

Hey, the original theatrical release on DVD? Hell yeah. That's a fine gift. :)

But it would be okay to count it as three, funds being what they are...

She is giving them to me.

Oh.

Oops.

I agree though. One trilogy = One gift.

But fight this at your own peril.

If they are not bound by the same plastic in one package then they are three separate gifts.

Tell your fiance congrats from me on landing you.

You're quite a catch there.

:rolleyes:

It does violate all natural laws of the universe, doesn't it?

The tricky thing is, no matter what we say here, our judgement doesn't act as the official authority for what goes on in her head.

Compare these two:

"Honey, all these guys on the internet said you're a cheap turd and you owe me two more gifts."

"Honey, I am soooo lucky to be getting a sci-fi trilogy instead of a sweater this year. Star Wars fans all over the world who aren't getting any sexytime at all are mightily envious of me."

I vote that you say #2.

Damn straight it's one gift.

She's talking about the three DVD's that come with both the original theatrical release AND the special edition AND the mini-Marvel Comic edition?

That's ONE gift, in three phases. In fact, if she were to buy you just one, it would be like getting EITHER a hand job OR oral sex OR a lap dance, but not all three and no climax either.

You could argue equally that each earring is an individual gift, if you were giving her two.

It's just...

No, that won't...

Oh dear God in heaven, I've no choice -- I agree with dclary!

It's one gift. I hope you and your fiancee aren't having the old "I got you more gifts than you got me" fight.

At least she isn't giving you the prequels.


Yes, definitely one gift.

It's one gift. Much like buying the Godfather Trilogy equals one great gift, plus one kick to the groin of that which you hold sacred in the form of Part III.

The DVD's are sold individually (but that is just a technicality here).

One box set - one gift.

Three separately purchased DVDs - 3 gifts.

Palpable tension in the tourdeforce household this Christmas - priceless.

These new-fangled DVDs will never replace the supreme sound and image quality of Betamax videotapes.

!!!SPOILERS!!! Be warned, in the latest remastered version, Han and Greedo sing karaoke together.
