After a few months waiting it finally showed up and lo and behold it's a 6 dvd set lecture with a course guide booklet. What the shit? I was going to return it then thought, hold on I can listen to this at work and if it's boring I could take it back. Two discs in and I'm really digging it!
The lecturer is Professor Kenneth W. Harl from Tulane University and I find his presentation clear and engaging.
I am seriously jonesing to play Command and Colors: Ancients again.

The American Revolution and the lecturer was Allen C Guelzo. I found it very informative and his delivery was entertaining. Listening isn't going to make you world renowned expert in the subject but is good for an overview.
It was 12 hours all told and I think was $40 on itunes.

Another good source is iTunesU or whatever its called. These are great video courses filmed at college and they even include the extra work and essay assignments and it's FREE.
Let me repeat that, if you want to learn Quantum Mechanics from the expert guys at Oxbridge, it's FREE.

My next one is the Asian Steppes, and I think I get Byzantium with it for $60.
Their WWI was excellent, High Middle Ages, Lincoln's speeches good as well.

Years ago they were all $250 and up, and they were getting pirated into oblivion on the Internet. They were sending C&Ds to people all over the place. There was a file on Pirate Bay that had 30GB of mp3s in it. They finally figured out that if they got their prices into a more reasonable place they'd get ten times the purchases and make the same amount of money, especially since most of their target audience has jobs and doesn't mind spending a dollar or two on quality.
I first ran into them when I bought a big-ass CD sleeve full of their stuff at an Estate Sale. I think I paid about $10. Didn't know what it was but the titles sounded pretty doggone interesting and no one else wanted it, so I got it at the opening bid. I've listened to all of those except the one on the Vikings which seems to keep missing the boat. I've purchased about half a dozen since, my Ma does too and then we swap.
All that said, their pricing still remains an enigma. Granted it's an enigma at around $50 instead of $250, but still very strange. "Buy one, get a second 175% off!"
