How many of your Blus have been "Blind buys"

[P@t_Mtl]

None what so ever, I do not buy it unless I know what's it about.

[JJ]

A fair share - I blind bought 3:10 to Yuma, Sunshine, and Blade Runner all back in January 2008, and loved them all - big titles like Incredible Hulk, Quantum of Solace, etc I blind bought - I do it a lot. But with movies I'm not too sure of, I usually Netflix first, and then buy - i.e., I've done that lately with Defiance, Valkyrie, and A Bug's Life.

About 10% of my collection are blind buy.

None here, too. I'm not paying $20-$30 dollars for a movie I haven't seen before. Besides that I go to the theatre so much it's almost impossible for me to have not seen every movie I would be interested in before they make it to disc, or else I rent first.

roughly 1/2 of my collection are blind buys, most often these were ones I just did not make it to theaters to see. some have been regretful, most not too bad.

[Intamin]

I'd say it's a good mix. There are a lot of movies that come out that I'd like to see in theaters but never get around to doing so, so I just wait for them to come out on Blu and pick them up. For the most part, it's worked out pretty well. During 07 when there were a ton of bogo's, I blind bought a lot of the movies. I've cut back though.

Maybe around 15, only one I wish I didn't and that was Hancock

[Luxo]

I bought Sunshine on a pure recommendation ( Not a bad movie ) , and Gotham Knights I picked up without seeing it. ( Eh was not that hot ) other than those 2 everything else I have seen.

i thought Craig was great in both films
quantum of solace was the first time i watched a movie two days in a row in a while

having not been a fan of the other bonds, that gadget stuff didn't really bother me, i thought they were great the way they were

i didn't find Casino Royale too slow paced, i liked the pace actually, it flowed pretty well for my taste

Tropic Thunder
Hellboy 2
Hancock

So far, the only ones.

107 out of 178 60%

10 out of the 77 I have or 7.7% are blind buys.

kind of same deal with me--I would say I make "educated" blind buys, or there are other bklind buys have made because of a B1G1 or some other kind of deal where it was insanely cheap.

[child of the sun]

23 out of 80 were blind buys. out of that 23...three are glitches in the matrix. lol. but i'll watch the spirit 500 times cause eva mendes booty is mmm mmm mmm!!! even though the movie on a whole sucks. lol

[AKORIS]

lots of titles are blind buys-- why wouldn't I do this?

It's cheaper than going to the theatre-- that's a blind investment as well--

and this way I get to keep something for my money. I've only regretted it

a few times-- a very low %

[mjbethancourt]

'Gods & Generals'; 'Dog Day Afternoon'; 'Letters from Iwo Jima'; 'Curse of the Golden Flower'; '3:10 to Yuma'... I regret all of them. They were not worth my money.

Were you wasted when you made the poll? How about offering the option of "I've made a few blind buys"... seems like the choices you offer are "I have a lot of blind buys" or "I have no blind buys". You don't really offer an option for those of us who have just made a few.

[mozen_1ne]

hancock is my only blind buy...it's now a very expensive coaster.

[wormraper]

at least 50% of my purchases are blind buys. It's part of the fun

[BigFoot]

None
