Between Best Buy and Target, I got the extended Cut Black Hawk Down DVD and 28 Days Later Special Edition DVD for $16.49 plus tax.

Anybody remember House? 

HECK YEAH! I remember my Mom taking me to see 1 and 2 in the theaters. The cast in 1 is just priceless. I picked those movies up back when Anchor Bay put them out together in one case as a LE deal. It's out of print now but I love it...

As for me, I just picked up Dexter: Season One @ Target w/the bonus disc and I have to hit Best Buy up on the way home for The Dark Crystal: 25th Anniversary...

Hollywoodland - $9.99 at Best Buy and you get free Movie Cash to see Balls of Fury.

I had lots of VHS  back in the day, and I held out for DVDs to be very cheap.  At first I bought a few DVDs and started a "collection", then I just blew it off.  After seeing my old VHs becoming scond rate, I said I woudn't go through that again.  At this point, I buy maybe 2-3 DVD a year, and rent all of the others I want to see.  I have a feeling that Blue Ray and HdDVD will soon be made obsolete when we're all able to downlaod a movie from the internet.

I think I was around 200 VHS movies before I finally jumped ship and sold them all.  Believe it or not - TPM was my very first DVD and I didn't even pick that up until a year after it was released when I got my PS2.....Now I'm well on my way to 1,000 DVDs.  I know that I should slow down/stop, but it's my other passion of collecting besides Star Wars.

I'm just waiting for this whole Blue Ray/HD DVD thing to thin out to see what happens.  I can see DVDs on there way out, but it doesn't seem likely that it would be very soon at least IMO.  It was painful to rebuy those 200 movies on another format and I really don't feel like doing it again...so soon especially with the amount of titles I have now.  I mean CD's have been the retail standard for audio for the past 20 years so I kinda thought that the DVD would have a longer life span.

Circuit City had the HD version of 300 playing on one of their widescreen TV's, this evening... I stopped long enough to confirm for myself that the detail of the HD pretty much puts the DVD to shame. I still don't see myself upgrading any of my DVD's for a very long time, though... I can't imagine a lot of my movies actually improving in terms of transfer, besides films that I really obsess over (Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Jaws, etc).

Really, do I need Ernest Goes To Jail in HD format?

I picked up the 20th Anniversary Edition of RoboCop, Season Ten of South Park, and the Collector's Edition of Serenity yesterday. 

[MetalJedi]

Ooooh I forgot that the Collector's Edition of Serenity was released. Thanks!

[Neal]

Ooooh I forgot that the Collector's Edition of Serenity was released. Thanks!

No problem. 
I had yet to see Serenity when I picked it up.  I recently finished watching all of the episodes of Firefly (first time I ever saw those), so the DVD release couldn't have come at a better time.  What a great film and series.

That's sort of where I am at the moment.  I've slowed my DVD buying down to a snail's pace.  I'm only buying movies (pretty much) that are cheap, and I know I won't be wanting to upgrade in the future.  I'm holding out on the new Blade Runner set because I know I'll want that in High Def....

I can't wait until they have a damn answer on this Blu-Ray / HDDVD thing.  I've got the TV, I just don't know which one to buy.

I love the series alot. It got canned way before it's time.

Picked up Serenity today, and since Best Buy was running a sale on the Buffy and Angel season sets for $15.99 each, I bought seasons 2 and 3 of Angel. I'll probably regret not getting 4 and 5 for this price.

I dont mind upgrading as long as the players are backwards compatible. I am not dumping 800 DVDs and rebuying them all.

From Wikipedia...

Compatibility
Backward compatibility will be available with all HD DVD players, allowing users to have a single player in their homes to play all types of HD DVD, DVD and CD discs. There is also a hybrid HD DVD format which contains both DVD and HD DVD versions of the same movie on a single disc, providing smoother transition for the studios in terms of publishing movies, and letting consumers with only DVD drives still use the discs. DVD disc replication companies can continue using their current production equipment with only minor alterations when changing over to the format of HD DVD replication. Due to the structure of the single-lens optical head, both red and blue laser diodes can be used in smaller, more compact HD DVD players.

So there you have it.

I heard LFODH comes out Oct. 29 any truth there? 'Cause it's on a Monday. Is Fox scared of Spidey 3 DVD?
