Steering Damper + Venting.

I've read through the archives and am not convinced as to weather my problems is steering damper related or not.
The 95 Surf of mine is feeling a little sloppy in the steering. On the freeway turn left, right just off centre and it's like it has play in it. You can feel that the front wheels are turning but not much, turn a little more and away she goes like normal.
Just wondering if this is the steering damper just worn out, as I can feel bumps in the road a little more than I used to as well, thought maybe it's leaked oil or somthing??
How much are new dampers normally?

Now for my venting (totally non 4wd related).
Went to blockbuster videos in Wanneroo yesterday to hire all three of the "matrix"movies as the missus hadn't seen them, and I hand't seen the third one. That way I figured we could veg out sunday arvo / night and watch all three.
WOULD YOU BELIVE they have all three of the movies as new releases!? That's $7 each for one night.
I spent ages trying to find it, before I went and asked and the "freindly" staff member who took me to the new releaes and said they are all there. I said thanks but no thanks and left.
That's just plain rude if you ask me! How long has the matrix been out for?? Two years, more?
Yeah yeah, I know it's petty, but that kind of crap get's up my goat!
