Sum 41 DVD

Well added two DVDs to my collection now :)

Due to the price at which DVDs are available nowadays, if I see one at a cheap price I tend to buy it. However, I only buy films that I may have heard very good things about, or in a series that I like, or that I've seen or at least something I know that I will like.

As for buying games, sometimes I really want a game, in which case I just pre-order from SR (as in the case of San Andreas) and simply stump up the costs. Usually though I'm in town and I might see a game in an offer or greatly reduced, it's at this point I spend a long time deliberating before I choose one.

Normally it's because I've read the OXM and XBM reviews and have found the demo enjoyable or enjoyed a predecessor. There are always games that you've heard good things about and you didn't go in specifically with the intention to buy it (the way I picked up the superb Kung Fu Chaos)

I never buy DVDs without watching them first. I'm not a fan of having DVDs that stay unopened or unwatched for months, or only ever recieve one viewing. Don't really like buying anything on a whim - be it games or films - I have to have read good reviews or be greatly interested in it in the least (in the case of games).

I suppose if I'd have opted for the many places that I've been where I could have picked up a DVD cheaply instead of renting them from Blockbuster I'd have many more.

Before the days of eBay (and still now) we, as a family, have a tendency to go down to Blockbuster and rent the 3 for £5 option, although it's cheap it does mean that the money we could have saved would have gone to buying a DVD.

My mum, particularly, is not a great fan in buying DVDS. She seems to use the logic that "you won't watch it that many times, and you'd be aswell to rent it", but she doesn't want to listen to the fact that even new DVDs can be picked up cheaply from sales in high-street stores aswell as the Iternet and it works out cheaper.

That's something I like about DVDs, wherever you go in a day out to town you always seem to see them at bargain prices and on sale. DVDs work out much cheaper than the VHS system and it's easy to pick them up. So overall I like buying DVDs but haven't really "indulged" enough.

Call me mad but I'm starting to look towards Christmas and start buying presents for family members already. I picked my dad a copy of a promotional "Steptoe & Son" DVD (free with a newspaper) for £3, £3! Just think about the profit you could make from buying 50p newspapers if you bought about 10 and sold every promotional DVD off at £3. Maybe it's the series? Or the fact that it's one of the classic episodes? Or that it sold out quickly?

So, yes, a long and semi-interesting post

Read if interested about my buying methods, I'm sure there's alot to discuss within that message

I watched a record three movies on dvd yesterday. Johnny English, Anchorman and Bean, which is undoutably one of my favourite films of all time.

Mine:

Soccer AM DVD

Pulp Fiction
Fight Club (special Edition)
Independence Day (Special Edition)

It's a collection built over about 5 years, so it's not that impossible...

Really I watch the episodes quite a lot but do you mean the movie you watch a lot?

I was in Pizza Hut once and they had this thing if you are under 12 then you get it cheaper. I was like 10 days away from my 12th Birthday and she bought us the full bill. I didnt have enough money for it and said to her "dont i get it cheaper if im under 12?" and she said i dont believe you.

To cut a long story short she phoned my mum and my mum said i was 12. I said IM NOT 12 IM 11!

And the woman went through it with my mum and my mum said "yeah he's 11, hes nearly 12"

My mum thought i wanted to get into a film so she said i was older than i was.

Funny though because when the woman rng my mum she said "this is the manager of pizza hut...we have your son here..."

The only time I really got caught out was when I went with my step-dad to see X-men. I was 11 when it came out (and it's a 12) and made sure he was well aware of it being a 12 so he could lie for me. The first question that he was asked: "How old is boy?", "11," he says. I just stared at him in amazement. Luckily, the person on the desk was nice and let us in anyway.
