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 just came across the "official" UK top 50 chart for Videos and DVDs. I guess it's no suprise that the chart for videos mainly consisted of kids films and shows (102 Dalmations, Scooby Doo, The Princess Diaries, Tweenies - all in the top 7).

Does anyone know if they are still releasing movies/series on both DVD and Video or are they finally phasing videos out now?

On another pointless note the two weeks from March 8th will see the release of 294 DVDs. That's more DVDs than I expect to buy in the next 2 years, you don't suppose they're releasing DVDs too fast for the consumers to even notice. Most of these titles I have never heard of, couldnt they release something for the 80ies kids? Samurai Pizza Cats perhaps.

Oh and just ordered Love Actually for mum, she just got out of the hospital and it's her kind of movie.
