[General Discussion] Your Latest Media Purchase (DVD/CD etc)

I picked up Howl's Moving Castle and My Neighbor Totoro yesterday.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I picked up two Jet Li movies the other day: Unleashed and Hero.

They were bundled together at a low price. So I went for it.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Bought Justice League Season 1 today. Kind of expensive.



This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Bought these today:





Haven't had time to watch anything though.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Picked this up the other day:



How ya doing, buddy?

You got yours already? I'll have to pick it up when it arrives in stores on Tuesday.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Picked this up the other day:



Unlike the initial boxset release a few years ago, I can actually afford the thinpaks.

How ya doing, buddy?

Oh yeah, I also picked these up a few days ago:





What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Got this two days ago, at a nice price:



Got this today:

Let me guess, $29.99 at HMV.

It's where I got mine last week.

Same here.

I always go in there, looking for deals. The price fluctuates quite a bit -- and like you said, often dramatically. For instance, I remember The Complete Superman Collection being somewhere in the $60 range. And now it's $29.99.

And yeah, I also like the two for $30 deals, or three for $30. They now even have three for $20.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I bought Seasons 2, 3 and 5 of the X-Files thinpaks last weekend.

I plan to pick up Seasons 4 and 6 soon -- and of course, Seasons 7-9 when they arrive June 6th.


Addicted now.

Good!

I recently bought season 8....even though season 8 and 9 are rather weak seasons in general.
I still wanna complete my collection and recently the X-Files DVD boxes have become criminally cheap. (29.99 euro's)

I will probably buy season 9 very soon too.
Especially because I have never seen the finale episode's!

Yeah, I started watching Season 1 recently, after never really watching it on TV. I can't believe I missed such a great series.

Tappy, do you buy the newly released thinkpaks? Or the original boxset releases, which were hefty in price?

I was speaking idiomatically.

So I only have the thinpack of season 8.
The original boxsets have a less cheaper "feel", but they do take up a bit more space.

I will definitely end up purchasing all the seasons, including 8 and 9. I couldn't afford the original boxsets, considering each of them were $100+ Canadian. These thinpaks, on the other hand, are reasonably priced.

Did you start watching the series on DVD like me? Or did you used to watch it on TV?

Together with Buffy, I guess you could say these are both on my number 1 spot of best tv series ever made!

I starting buying the boxsets when they originally arrived on DVD for the first time.
Especially the first 3 or 4 seasons were absolutely freakin' expensive.
I remember buying the first season for around 120 or 130 euro's.
(it was back when we didn't have the euro yet, so I can't remember exactly...it could be even more then 130 euro's).
But they were an absolute must-have for me at that time....so I just bought them nevertheless!

I am 14 episodes into the 1st Season, and I can understand where all the praises were coming from. The writing and the pacing are very good. Music is done by Mark Snow, right? Terrific stuff.

"Ice" was a great episode. I was on the edge of my seat.

FELIPE NO

Niiice.

Did you get the thinpak version? I have to wait two more days before Seasons 7-9 come out on thinpaks. I'll probably gobble them up all at once.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

This is also the series that includes Lucy Lawless, so that was also an incentive for me to buy it.

How far are you into the series right now?
Any absolute fave episode's?
(except for "ice")

I purchased Seasons 4 and 6 over the weekend, and now I have Seasons 1-6.

I just finished watching Season 1 last night. And I am completely hooked to the series. I love the whole sci-fi, conspiracy, unexplained phenomenon, etc.

Let's see ... other than "Ice,"

I really liked the two Eugene Victor Tooms episodes ("Squeeze" and "Tooms"), which had me on the edge of my seat. My other favourite episodes are "Deep Throat", "EBE", "Fallen Angel", "Darkness Falls", and of course the Pilot and the season finale "The Erlenmeyer Flask" were great too.

I'm a sucker for the UFO ones
