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?

Looks like it. I wouldn't go on the graphic as staff might have missed the "trilogy" text at the bottom. If it isn't in the description, its unlikeyl. Email them?

Not from SR no, so if you are interested in it probably best to ask them first otherwise you might get the first one, which wouldnt be a bargin and then complain to SR for using the trilogy cover to advertise instead of the real one without providing more information that would have set the record straight, i.e putting the running time.

Here you are [URL]http://uk.specialreserve.com/d_DV3963_back-to-the-future-d.html[/URL] I'm pretty sure it's the Trilogy, well the cover says "Trilogy" at the bottom of the image provided. If it is the trilogy then you're saving 25 pounds off the RRP, although i think the new back to the future dvd has a similar image as the trilogy so SR might have made a mistake and are using the wrong dvd cover.

But it says Trilogy on the packaging in the photo. They just neglected to mention that it was the trilogy in the title, which I thought was a bit silly. £9.99 for 3 movies is bargin
