"What's your recent DVD purchase?"

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?

Heh, they're so cruel, it'll probably be another year until they release Season 3! Oh well, got Season 4 to look forward to on TV verr soon.

Haven't seen Elephant yet.. close to buying it the other day, but cancelled for some reason. HBO.. you must be a fan of the good ol' HBO!

It's been a year since they released Season 1 as well. Why'd they make us wait so long...? :-(

Still, it's even better than I remembered, just as good as the first season so far (but I'll be rewatching that as soon as I finish 2).

Just out of interest, did you ever get to see Elephant, that HBO film I remember you talking about a while back?

Cheaper by the Dozen. so funny.

wow you lot seem to be buying a lot of DVDs. And I waged that not all of you spent so much on VHS.

I hope you have a nice good screen and surround sound to really appreciate the DVDs you're buying :P

I think we have about 200 DVDs that's not really a lot compared to some people.

Spent just a tad short of £500 now on DVD's in the last few days.

Six Feet Under Season 2

Dungeons and Dragons Volume 2

Yeah, I need to buy the rest of Series 10 of Friends (although it's more so to complete the collection). Also need to buy Somethings Gotta Give when that comes out next week, was a great film.
