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?

LOEG 2 Disc set or one? Get the 2 Disc set. You get what you pay for so don't be stindgy and go for the bare minimum with nothing but the movie.

I recently completed my Futurama collection with the final season on DVD last week. This week I purchased Stephen King's Dreamcatcher and I may pop into town tomorrow to get The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

Ive got that box set! my dad bought it for us for crimbo and i totally dismissed it at first as being a boring wildlife documenatry but it was actually pretty good!

it was well interesting how they spent ages trying to find a blue whale and get it on tape.

good stuff!
