Before DVDs came along there was VHS. I never bought a single movie on VHS, my brother only bought 3 (SE Star Wars) and my younger brother about 10 (a mix of 80ies films like Planes, Trains & Automobiles and Red Dwarf).

But now we seem to buy DVDs all the time, collectively we have just under 200 DVDs now and we buy atleast 1 DVD a week as a family. (we used to rent a lot but we dont anymore and the nearest cinema is 30 minutes drive away). I guess it is good news for the television and film industries. Anyone else noticed that they're buying more DVDs than they did VHS?

My recent DVD purchase was Donnie Darko Prism Edition. At a very nice price of £4.99 to encourage those who wouldnt have bought the film otherwise, despite having no special features. It's a very interesting and unusual film nothing like I've seen before.

I also pre-ordered a DVD boxset. Most of you are too young and would probably confuse it with the awful Matt LeBanc movie that came out years ago. It's the Lost In Space Series 1 boxset. 8 DVDs, 31 episodes, a collective running time of 23 hours and 42 minutes (possible marathon attempt?) At a nice price of £39.99 "DANGER! DANGER WILL ROBINSON!!"

Anyone else buy anything on DVD lately?

Myst's one step closer to turning her room into a mini cinema. I believe I saw an article of a guy who turned his garden shed into a mini cinema, complete with big projection screen and seats he bought from his local odean. He very much enjoys watching Bond movies on it.

oh and excellent purchase by the way ^_^

Good Good, so you got it at last :D

I'm not even halfway through it yet, only on Episode 6. Still, enjoying pretty much every minute of its greatness.

Amazon had great offers on the Sopranos boxsets. Managed to grab all 4 for around £120 on DVD during their offer. Now they have put Season 1 back up to £40 and season 4 back up to £40.

Just ordered Simpsons Series 4 and pre-ordered Aladdin Special edition.

Think I might have to invest in some South Park boxsets from Amazon as well.
