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?

The last DVD I bought was SWAT. Pretty decent film but a little predictable. I intend to get the rest of the FRIENDS series' next, and I've started watching South Park again, so I'll have to try and get those Boxsets at some point to.
Wot Vids u putting on Ebay Kitt
oo a Johnny Depp collection as well :) I think Lindgren can't use ebay because she's in Ireland although I always thought you could.
Ah yes with it all on the computer the evidence can easily be deleted ;) LOL who needs photo albums anyway yay for DVDs ^_^
yikes >_< I hope you managed to shift all those videos before DVDs became more popular. I bought lots of anime videos, for about £15 now they're probably only worth £4. Bad investment on my part. Infact I'll be shifting 200 vhs today or tomorrow on ebay.
You just wait Myst when you turn 70 and your DVDs start to fail, investing all that money *shakes head* hmm although I don't see DVDs lasting 50 years, maybe little DVDs the size of a 2p coin.
Still that's a very impressive collection, out of curiosity where do you live and how would I go about breaking into your house and hit the jackpot with all those DVDs.

Thanks!
Wow, nice DVD collection you got there Myst.
My brother and I have about 150 collectively, although about 40% of them are TV DVD's. TV Series' on DVD are the best though, they're the only ones I repeatedly watch.

People sell sealed (empty) tins on eBay but you'll be lucky to get one for less than 30 quid. They charge £5 for postage on an empty box!!!

Ignore that!!

Ha ha! Thanks!! Though ,there isn't any porn in my collection (thats on my hard drive :p) The DVDs in the tin are all my Johnny Depp movies, and half of the Bond collection if you must know
I do have a shelf ready but it has photo albums on it at the mo...(their days are numbered!!!!)
Sadly yes, I spent a fortune on VHS before I converted. I almost never bought movies though. I have hundreds of Star Trek videos and Disney. Managed to sell all my Friends collection (Thank God!!)
