Yeah, those envelopes that have "Service Interruption Notice" in big red letters are really annoying to me. And the worst thing is that they start coming the week after you've ordered and paid for a subscription! The goobers. :?
I came across one of these "Ultimate DVD Collection" DVD's in my software stack the other day - didn't even realize I had it, so that's how much of an impression it made on me.
I've never gotten a dunning notice about it and the note that comes with it says to keep the DVD as a gift. (Although there is also a return envelope for the DVD if I wanted to bother with it.)
