Are you purchasing less DVD's that you did in the past few years?

My co-workers and I all agree that we now buy considerably less than we did

We've been buying more, but that's because we bought almost none during the past two years or so.

i buy about the same - but i usually don't buy the first one that comes out since you know a few months down the road there is going to be a different version.

I only own a few DVD’s. I only buy the DVD if it’s something that I can rewatch several times.

I used to buy as many dvds as I could. Mostly now, because of room, I have begun to slow down considerably.

I probably have bought 30-40 dvds this year, compared to hundreds that I have purchased in the past.

I have stopped buying DVDs for myself for two reasons;

1) I dont have any money.

2) I figured out how to dupe DVDs from Blockbuster online. I have duped about 20 in the past 2 months, but the only DVD I have bought in months was "The Little Mermaid" for D-Dogg's daughter.

A lot less - now that we are netflixing, many of the DVDs that we bought (because local stores didn't rent them), we get from netflix instead.

I generally buy every (live action) comic book movie that comes out. Outside of that, I own some "classics" and some good westerns, but I've never been a huge DVD buyer.

So, about the same.

A lot less. If I see one on super-sale I might pick up an older movie, but there haven't been a lot that were compelling lately. Been reading more, I guess.

A lot less here as well.

There aren't many new movies that are released (outside of the screwball comedy) that have the replay factor with me.

Plus I live in Globe and our only DVD retailer is Wal-Mart. So sales are few and far between and their selection is junk.

How much replayability does that turd Fantastic Four give you? :barf:
I've re-watched it once because my wife hadn't seen it. I didn't think it was that bad--wasn't really good, but it wasn't that bad.

:shrug:

How do you 'dupe' Blockbuster?
