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?

aww you have lots of DVDs I want :( Indiana Jones collection and James Bond. hmm I wonder if the censored part was your porn collection :) That's quite a library Myst no wonder others borrow from you, you've got all the good ones. You'll need a new shelf soon.

My brother is the big collector he buys them all the time, I think it's over 200 can't remember, but yeah it can get so addictive. Did you ever spend so much on VHS before?

To be fair that bunch was spread over about 3 weeks, and I have had the Disney Treasures on pre-order since August last year..

I'm seriously addicted to DVD shopping, I love it!
Just checked my list and it says I have 218 so far, thats taken me three years to get that many. Not bad considering I'm the only one who buys them in the family.
(My grandparents don't even buy them now, they just borrow mine!!!)
