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 think the title of Airplane 2 is fantastic. Airplane 2: The Sequel. Makes me smile every time.

Yeah it's on pre-order from all the sites I've looked at. Such as [URL]http://www.play.com/play247.asp?page=title&r=R2&title=572411[/URL]

Besides I don't think Myst wants pirated movies. She's one of the stuios best customers, espcially Disneys.

Yes it's a pre-order. As for not knowing any sites that offer it on pre-order then maybe you should lift that safety helmet up over your eyes and you'd actually see that most DVD sites have it for pre-order.

I've found no sites that offer pre-orders, especially considering it's barely been out in the US a month, let alone here.
