DBZ + DBGT seasons because I used to love that show when I was a kid and still enjoy them now

Anthony P · 07-18-2009, 03:00 PM

None. Anything new comes out on BD and anything old, if I wanted it, I already had it. since I can't be bothered to watch the DVDs I already have, why would I add more to it.

JimShaw · 07-18-2009, 03:09 PM

I still purchase DVDs. Generally they will be the movies my wife wants that I can purchase for $14.99 when it first comes out.

GLaDOS · 07-18-2009, 05:15 PM

I've gone Blu all the way, baby!

quexos · 07-18-2009, 05:34 PM

I'm done with DVD's I just can't buy those anymore. If I really like a movie it's Blu for me.

I love those shows too, need to replace a couple seasons though with faulty discs.

fiveseven4combat · 07-18-2009, 06:07 PM

The only DVD that I am going to get is Psych season 3, hopefully by the time season is released it will be on Blu Ray and I can get seasons 1 thru 3 as well.

Other than that, none.

ranitasus · 07-19-2009, 12:16 AM

I don't buy DVD's anymore.

fighthefutureofhd · 07-20-2009, 01:10 AM

the last dvd i got was a music dvd. i'll buy any dvd's though. i still like dvd's.

Cordre69 · 07-20-2009, 02:26 AM

Anime and non-HD TV shows. That's it. And even then, certain Anime I have picked up recently has already been announced for Blu so I'm so confused!

Just received and watched the original DVD 1996 Japanese version of "Shall We Dance" to compare it to the 2004 American version of which I have in Blu.

DO IT!! If you can find them cheap enough (I hear Big Lots is selling them at a very low price, if you can find them there) they are all worth it. I have all six volumes. Most of the cartoons look great (aside from some issues with DVNR and some color boosting) and there are extras aplenty.

Warners has given up the ghost on these cartoons, so there are no future sets planned. It'll probably be a long time before a Blu-ray boxset comes to market. (The only Looney Tunes on Blu-ray right now are the few extras included with The Adventures of Robin Hood BD.)

J. J. Hunsecker · 07-20-2009, 04:52 AM

I just recently bought the DVD boxsets Warner Gangsters Collection vol. 3, and Film Noir Classic Collection vol. 4. I'd rather have these on Blu-ray, but it doesn't look like that'll be happening anytime soon.

Yeah, I didn't vote on anything in the poll because mostly I don't worry about buying those things (...including kids stuff since....well, I don't have any, lol) and I'm mostly satisfied with buying blu. But if I had to say some thing I would say anime and asian movies (or at least those that have not been announced for blu ray release). But still I try to hold out for blu anime and asian films....so lame the distribution for anime in the West has to be so slow as hell.

It still depresses me to see sites like yesasia and play-asia you can find well over 100+ listings for anime blu-ray (tv series and movies, like) and more continually added--whereas somewhere like Amazon it doesn't even crack into 60 listed titles (and that's including those that coming soons, 'discountinued', or 'import').

I voted for there is nothing that will make me buy a dvd anymore, but "The State - The Complete Series" is making me doubt my resolution! I don't think this will ever come to Blu, so I'm thinking of taking the plunge and ordering it from Amazon. Do you think it's worth it? Is it worth $240 worth of pudding?

sfmarine · 07-20-2009, 05:38 PM

I don't buy dvd's that often. I just purchased Schindler's List but that's because it was the now OOP collectors gift set and I didn't have it on dvd. Didn't pay too much so I'm not complaining.

My workout disks are of course all dvd's but other than that...I'm 100% blu.

Dr.Zoidberg · 07-20-2009, 05:59 PM

Like most here, it will tv shows. I already have dvd seasons of Scrubs and The Office so unless the blu's come with extra content, I will continue buying them on dvd.
