Awesome, the X-Men cartoons are finally out on DVD.

I keep on wondering how you people afford all this.

 

 

 

Unless they're second hand and bought from a discount store.

Yes, reasonable prices too.

 

19.99 per set, cheaper sometimes on amazon etc.

 

Considering it's a 2 disc set with 16 episodes I can justify them easily, Cheaper than most tv shows.

I do buy a majority of my DVD's from Big lots - which is known for a wide selection of quality titles such as Rebel without a Cause, Casablanca to newer films, basically movie companies dump overstock on them - overstock can be very very good, and sometimes it blows.

 

 

 

I rarely pay more than $5 for a dvd, most films drops considerably from the release price, for example sex in the city was $2.50 on movies4wholesale (new) and speed racer - last summer flick, was 3.99 at best buy twice this year, i really only make exceptions for superhero movies, and extended stuff like LOTR triology.

 

 

 

On tv shows, I try to shoot for 15-20 a season (20 for say smallville, 24) and 10-15 for shows like king of the hill, lois and clark and batman the animated series.

 

 

 

I also am a frequent buyer from my local movie store ($6 dollar for good quality used new releases every 4-8 months) and secondspin.com. Family Video and blockbuster online also come to mind, Movies4wholesale as well sometimes has amazing deals (Great escape 2 disc for $3)

 

 

 

My Average DVD price including boxsets is around 3.50 a flick. Some stuff like Band of brothers, and citizen kane never really dip below a certain price ($40 and $10) so you just got to research and wait for sales.

 

 

 

If you have titles you are looking for, I can keep an eye and post/pm you when they hit a good sale price. (It also helps to have a job)

 

 

 

Also days like Black Friday often offer freaking amazing deals on movies.

I wish I lived in the US.

 

 

 

 

 

 

But thanks alot for those websites. I should definitely shop online more. Thanks for the sites.

 

 

 

Why does Australia have to suck when it comes to entertainment, no good range and really high prices. I WILL shop online. !!!!!! grumble. end rant.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Das, have any tips for Australia ? :P

Stuff on sale, second hand things etc. Also I still live with my parents, work full time and I'm really bad at saving.

 

 

 

I also forgot to add three CD's.

 

 

 

Masada - Live in Sevilla 2000

 

Cocteau Twins - Lullabies to Violaine: Volume 1.

 

Cocteau Twins - Lullabies to Violaine: Volume 2.

You're all obviously very busy people. Das and How2PK, you both work. And buy so many DVDs and CDs. My second question is do you actually get the time to watch them all ?

I don't. :P But that's kind of how I like it. I got somewhere between 200 and 300 movies that I still need to see, also some full t.v. series. But I like to have some choice. :)

200 and 300 movies that I still need to see

 

 

 

OK ...

 

 

 

Say could you get me some Scrubs box sets ? ;)

 

 

 

:lol:

Sure, if you can get me Sopranos season 5 and 6 Pt. 1 & 2. :thumbup:

I'm not sure what ships to aussyland - Secondspin is beautiful because every so often they run a sale with the promo code "heynow" that gives you 20% off and free shipping, I think that applies internationally, not sure.

 

 

 

I dont have time to watch them all . i'd say 300 or so unwatched is an accurate amount.

 

 

 

I've never seen any sales on the scrubs I can think of. new stuff like BSG rarely goes on sale :(

 

 

 

I recomend DVDTALK's bargin forum, I use it quite a bit.

Man, 200-300 movies in your collection you haven't seen yet? That is a lot. I have about 20 plus the M*A*S*H set which I have only seen random episodes of on TV.

On a slightly related note I'm the same with books. I tend to buy more than I possibly have time to read but I like the choice of having them to read for in the future.

 

 

 

Just ordered The Thomas Crown Affair on DVD (the recent one with Pierce Brosnan). It's a great film and there's someone I really want to watch it with. The final heist scence with Sinnerman by Nina Simone playing in the background is superb.

All three together cost just 12 bucks. Found a nice music store in town :)

Thats something I can relate to. I occasionally buy them, but my local library is very large and has a wide spanning range. So I usually borrow.

just got back from best buy :twss:

 

 

 

Well, i finally got my dvd! Ahahahaha... I've been waiting on it since 24th of april... rofl.

 

Sorry for crap quality picture (taken with the mobile):

EDIT:

 

 

 

Realised that a long chains of "effs" "yous" "sees" and " kays" don't get bleeped. Why are things so cheap ! And such a large range. I'd be willing to pay someone to get stuff for me and also pay the shipping.
