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?

I was just wondering where you were Myst, blimey you buy so many dvds, you must have quite the collection.

Umm I think my younger brother got a few cheap DVDs and a Jet Lee film and my older brother got Lord of the Rings the Return of the King. Although he took that round his girlfriends house and still hasnt brought it back for me to watch :(

Just recieved the final Friends DVD from Play.

Only bought it because for once it actually has features on it, and it has the extended final episode, which I'll probably watch later.

Also, bought the Hulk on DVD from Virgin for £7.99 a few weeks ago. Not really sure why I bothered because I don't like the film that much. :-/
