And I happen to be one of those 5 million who owns GOF on DVD in this news article. The stores made such big deals out of it. Their ads had GOF stuff ALL OVER. It was great to see businesses in the HP spirit too!

Five million? Exactly? What a coincidence!

Or did they just round it off? I'm going to go buy a copy and throw off the count!
