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?

Heh, my Akira is still sitting in its cellophane next to the tv.

My flatmate and a friend both want to watch it too, so I thought we'd get everyone together for it at some point. But it's not happened yet :^|

And I still have Neon Genesis Evangelion and Love Hina sitting on the pc, waiting to be aired, and GITS Standalone Complex complete thing on the way in a week or so.

I'll never see it all :^S

My recent dvd purchase are

Die Hard
Die Hard 2
Alien

for £10.

I needed christmas movies.
And 'It's a wonderful life' is always expensive.

I have my eye on one of those facehugger soft toy things - they look awesome.

I could stick it to the girlfriend's face while she slept, that'd be fun.

Must get girlfriend.

Seriously? I loved it. The normal packaging seems really dull in comparison, and I liked the cool x-ray inside homer's head. Didn't really seem poor quality to me either.
