[AlexCruz]

Well, I started collecting in January of this year and I've been keeping my receipts. Men In Black makes my 68th title and I'm almost at $500 I will officially go broke on July 8th which will be my next purchase day with Batman Begins LE, Gotham Knight, and Batman The Movie SE.

[toef]

I don't remember the exact dates, but here goes:

Casino Royale (free - Wal-Mart)
Ratatouille (free - Wal-Mart)
Cars (free - Wal-Mart)
Die Hard (free - Wal-Mart)
Die Harder (free - Wal-Mart)
Die Hard w/ A Vengeance (free - Wal-Mart)
Live Free or Die Hard (free - Wal-Mart)
300 (free Wal-Mart)
Shinobi ($10.95 - Amazon.com)
Kung-Fu Hustle ($11.99 - Sound Garden)
A Scanner Darkly (free - gift from Sound Garden)
Chronicles of Narnia (free - gift from Sound Garden)
Planet Earth (free - Birthday gift)
Blade Runner ($11.95 - Tower.com)
John Legend Live @ House of Blues ($12 - Blu-ray.com Trade thread)

I think that's it. So all in all, 15 titles (22 discs in all) for $46. Add in a few $ for shipping, to round it up to $50, and that's still under $3.50 out of my pocket for each one.

I like BD's, but not enough to pay more than $15 for anything, and even then, that'd only be for movies I feel like I really need (or really need to upgrade from DVD).

I think I lost.

How do you get then free from Walmart?

I'd rather not know how much I spent this year. I know it's no where near 1000. This is not a thread I want to win or will ever win.

Was a temporary sale.

[ZackL]

About $200

[richieb1971]

I don't know all the titles as I'm at work. But with over 70 purchases its kinda scary. I've done $300 in one go before. I've also ordered from Hong Kong, UK, Australia and USA and had my bank cancel my card because they suspected foul play.

To be honest, I feel somewhat cheated by my purchases. I want a projector to really bring BD to life.

[kamenriderrx]

Since buying a PS3 I've spent about $1000 replacing some of my favorite DVD movies on Blu Ray. It's becoming an addiction cause I told myself not to replace everything. Of course that flew out the window when I saw how great the PQ looked. Now I want everything replaced. I'm doomed.

[cartman781]

I woud rather not add it up, it may make me cry

Although I never pay retail price.

[cartman781]

I just realized today is my 1 year anniversay in blu-ray. I have bought around 225 bu-rays in 1 year

[arush5268d]

I've bought about 55 Blus this year.........

.......so far. This summer is going to be pretty rough with all the releases!

I don't know about exact dollar amount....nor do I really want to think about it! I've also bought a Panny plasma and DMP-30 player.

[sfmarine]

Probably around a grand.

[OrlandoEastwood]

January:
Saw V - $24.99 - Wal-Mart

April:
The Incredible Hulk - $14.99 - Blockbuster
Caligula - $2.99 - Blockbuster

June:
Hulk - $13 - Wal-Mart

July:
Babylon A.D. - $5 - Blu-Ray.com

August:
Pulp Fiction - $5 - Blu-Ray.com
The Day the Earth Stod Still (2008) - $5 - Blu-Ray.com

So, $70.97 total this year.

[mbro12]

I can't believe Ive spent this much in my first month of having a Blu Ray player on only 11 Blu-Rays, all brand new at least, 3 or 4 bargains IMO, especially Milk and 300.

Die Hard = £10.00 (Tesco)
Stargate = £6.98 (Amazon)
The Truman Show = £9.98 (Amazon)
The Untouchables = £12.67 (Amazon)
Watchmen = £15.98 (Amazon)
The Wrestler = £10.00 (ASDA Living)
Milk = £7.22 (Amazon Marketplace)
Goodfellas = £9.99 (Borders)
Ratatouille = £10.00 (WHSmith)
Zodiac = £10.00 (WHSmith)
Pineapple Express = £8.00 (ASDA)
300 = £4.19 (PlayTrade)

Total = £115.01

[jamsbooking]
