It wasn't until I got into blu-ray I even kept a movie wish list on Amazon.
It's great and simple. Highest priorty tag for the "must have" on release day, and high priority for things which can wait a bit, etc. If you have a better method I'd like to know it.
In using the Amazon wish list I have seen release status change from "Currently unavailable", to "pre-order this item", to "add to cart".
Great way to stay on top of what I desire. Unfortunately most of my wish list says "Currently unavailable".
