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?

Ordered the Extended Edition Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring the other day. Whoop!
Just bough Shaun of the Dead.
Watched it with a mate and it's a very funny and enjoyable film.

Let me see, I ordered Gravion vol.3, Evangelion Platinum vol.2, Miami Guns vol.3, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex vol.2, the latest Lupin TV dvd (vol.8 I think) and GTO Boxset 2. There's too much decent stuff coming out now and the next few months. Buying anime is certainly an expensive hobby.
Looking foward to seeing the second half of GTO, I ignored it when it first came out, and only got to see it when the first boxset came out last year. A great series that I recommend to any anime fan. Onizuka rules.

Aww come on Totoro what animes did you get? :) I saw one new one not long ago Alien Nine. It's very umm weird, it's about these primary school girls fighting aliens that seem to bother everyone yet it's so dark and violent. We've been watching more Full Metal Panic (they covers on the DVD dont do it justice it made it seem like a serious mecha anime and not a comedy/romance/serios sometimes serious) oh and FullMetal Alchemist aswell, great series can't wait to own that on DVD.
