DVDs are so cheap now (in the UK atleast)

[Kevin Roegele]

It's getting almost less expensive to buy than to rent-!

Today I picked up Planet of the Apes 2-disc special edition for £3.99.

On play.com you can buy the Batman Returns 2-disc special edition for £5.99.

The Corpse Bride has only been on DVD for five minutes and you can pick it up for £5.99 in most places.

Most amazing, you can now find the Lord of the Rings 4-disc extended editions, the creme de la creme, for £9.99. I myself paid £25 for each when they were released, and even then they were worth it.

Blu-Ray and HD-DVD aren't expected to gain control of the DVD market until atleast 2010.

How much is £5.99 in American currency?

 

[pointman]

about 13 dollars

 

[A.J.Rimmer(BSC)]

I thought it would be less than that (£>$)

 

[The Amazing Lee]

Yeah, there are SO many sales at times. Which is good because only after 1 month or 2 what was about 15 quid is now about 7.99 which is great.

I remember buying Wayne's world for like 3 pounds.

 

[A.J.Rimmer(BSC)]

I'm waiting for X3 to be in the bargain bin before I buy it.

 

[OtepApe]

There's always some type of sale going on in the UK for dvd's. HMV are always having one, same with Play.com.

I suppose this is one of the reasons why things like Blu Ray and HD-DVD annoy me. DVD's haven't been round all that long and they are already looking to change it for something superior. Of course you have your techno ****es who will buy the latest tech, but I am perfectly happy with dvd's and then it's just a case of replacing your collection for something superior, which is going to cost a shedload in the long run.

Although, eventually they will become as cheap as DVD's are now.

 

[The Amazing Lee]

F**k HD-DVD.

Keep DVD.

 

[3dman27]

i'm not complaning about dvd prices going down since i'm on a fixed income

 

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

cheap as chips indeed..

but i can get cheper dvds in the states,,Csi is released full season in the staets.. for only £26.99 however you will have to pay that for half a season here in england.

 

[The Amazing Lee]

I like the 3/4 dvds for 20 quid deal.

Sometimes I take advantage. Or when Box sets are dirt cheap.

 

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

[The Amazing Lee]

[Bastila]

Music Zone is a fantastic place for cheap DVD's. I got both series of Spaced, and Shaun Of The Dead there for about £15.

 

[black_dust]

Im addicted to buying them its great for me

 

[The Amazing Lee]

I probably have well over a 100 dvds.

 

[black_dust]

I have coming up to 200

 

[The Amazing Lee]

greedy bastard.

I probably would have more if my friends didn't borrow my dvds. or scratch them.

same applies to me though.

 

[Balian]

DVDs are getting cheaper... my favorite places are Play.com and CeX.

Just today I bought Open Range (amazingly underrated Western), LA Confidential and Mad Max. All together = £8

My DVD collection's around 105 now... but I'm worrying because I'm going to start buying HD quite soon and that means I'll probably decline in adding as many DVDs as I have over the last year or two (I average about 4/5 DVDs a month).

 

[The Amazing Lee]

I still haven't used Play.com

I really need to get a debit card.

They do accept debit cards...right?

[Jasomius]

I got Blade Runner: Director's Cut, A.I, The Abyss, Aliens and The Fifth Element for a grand total of 13 pounds.

They were second-hand though.
