What's the most you will pay for a DVD movie now? - Blu-ray Forum

Batman1980 · 03-28-2009, 07:36 AM

After I started seriously collecting blu-rays, my maximum went to $15, now it's at $10. Just don't see how I could justify spending that kind of money on a defunct format anymore.

wormraper · 03-28-2009, 09:46 AM

assydingo · 03-28-2009, 11:27 AM

depends how much I like the show

crazyBLUE · 03-28-2009, 12:00 PM

Sense I turned to Blu , I have not bought A single standard DVD !

petenad · 03-28-2009, 12:07 PM

I get them free from the library so I pay nothing.

seek counseling quick. it's against the rules and BD fanatic code for a BD owner to regress backward and buy DVD. you will severly punished and ostracized unless you can demonstrate the purchase is a gift for someone else.

No more DVD purchases for me.

Same, i've been quitte lucky though as all the films i've wanted since going blu have been released on blu (though alot of old 'classics' I already had on dvd are waiting to go blu).

Marquoz · 03-28-2009, 12:52 PM

My limit on a DVD is $50. I refuse to pay more then that for a single season of a TV show that is released on DVD but not on Blu-ray. I'm not going to buy a regular movie on DVD though.

Sussudio · 03-28-2009, 01:00 PM

i'll pay as much as it costs to buy one that i want when i can get a good deal. i have placed no "restriction" on myself

just got all the bonds for $90 during the amazon gold box sale. less than $5 a movie for the 2 disc ultimate editions

i don't care THAT much to have them all on blu, but it's really cool to snag the entire remastered collection on dvd for under 100

Johnny Vinyl · 03-28-2009, 01:05 PM

Although I haven't purchased a DVD for some time, I usually rummage through the $5 bins at Wal-Mart and have picked up the odd title on occasion. I'd only buy one if it were a movie I know I would never buy on Blu-ray. For $5 it's worth a purchase if I know I'll only watch it once or twice.

Defunct format, eh? Does the DVD still work when you put it in your Blu-ray player? I bet it does. It is not dead yet, pal. I have said this before and I will say this again, Blu-ray does not look THAT GOOD. I have seen it on many different tv's and set up's, and I was not impressed with any of them. It really needs to improve, or the tv needs to improve.

Hey cruisyeyes...have you had your eyes tested lately?

Yes, and my opinion still stands.

I am not trolling, I am serious. I can honestly say the only movie that looks good is Gattaca.
