Last Blu-ray you ALMOST bought. - Blu-ray Forum

Sky_Captain · 04-03-2008, 06:08 PM

Come on we've all done it at some point. You've had a buy impulse, picked something up in the store, a good price could be the reason, but common sense has intervened as you don't really want the movie.

I'll start obviously. Had the UK Close Encounters in my hand in HMV, and it was reasonably priced for instore. However before going near the counter, I realized that I don't like this move in ANY of its guises and would just be buying it for the silly box. It'd be on ebay in a week, so I put it back and bought some anime instead. Life Of Brian has been in my hand sooooo many times, but I haven't felt the bite on that one either.

I almost pre-ordered ID4 along with I Am Legend and NCFOM from Amazon, but I decided it wasn't worth it for the price (Fox and their $39.99 MSRP for catalog titles

), so I took it off my order.

Night of the Werewolf/ Vengeance of Zombies... I keep meaning to buy it. However, at the last minute I always decide to wait.

kjacobs03 · 04-03-2008, 06:14 PM

T3 and I am Legend

sssick · 04-03-2008, 06:18 PM

Pretty much every Fox catalog title.

savage1984 · 04-03-2008, 06:23 PM

Memento... I just don't know... love the movie. Not sure how often I'll watch it.

mdtulp · 04-03-2008, 06:34 PM

I robot, was gonna pay 34.99, got to the counter and thought, this is just way to much, put it back and got Run Lola Run for 19.95 which is sehr gut!

Blaumann · 04-03-2008, 06:40 PM

Arthur et les Minimoys the last TWO times i was in France. Saw it, added it to my pile of stuff to buy, added up how much everything is going to cost me, sorted out the stuff that stays in the store, Arthur always stayed.....

(but i bought it on Amazon.fr today, it was on sale, though the movie probably stinks. I just can't help myself!

)

g217814 · 04-03-2008, 06:41 PM

I was logged to Amazon and had Bram Stokers Dracula & I Robot in my Que but then I figured they will both be on sale in the next fews months and decided to wait. Come on BOGO's! Even a 3 for 2 would be nice.

owa · 04-03-2008, 06:45 PM

None, I buy everything I put my hands on. Sure, occasionally I'll have buyer's remorse but it doesn't take long to get over it.

Ferris · 04-03-2008, 06:50 PM

Independence Day... but then I thought about "Up YOUUURRRRRRSSS!!!"

Now I had to buy it.

Even paid $3.99 for next day shipping, since I plan to watch the movie early Saturday morning.

mgonzo2u · 04-03-2008, 07:23 PM

Red Dawn and Almost Famous via Ebay.

I've decided to wait it out until their US release.

Schrute Farms · 04-03-2008, 07:45 PM

I just can't pull the trigger on Ratatouille. I've sat through it twice, and just don't like it enough to own it.

iFresh · 04-03-2008, 09:32 PM

I've had the Spiderman Triology in my Amazon cart at least 10 times.

Still don't own it.

zoon_ii · 04-04-2008, 12:06 AM

ALMOST bought Dan in Real Life.

had it in my cart, then shelved it with the candy upon checkout.

rented the dvd, and boy am i glad that i didn't waste 25 bucks on that.

ok movie. not worth buying imo.

LiveFree/DieWithRed · 04-04-2008, 12:11 AM

Night at the Museum on Half.com I was literally about to press purchase, and then said, no because I bought close to 30 BDs in March. Plus my 5 free BDs came today

American Psycho
Flight of the Phoenix
Patriot
Prestige
Full Metal Jacket

Sorry to break the trend of the thread, but how are those titles PQ, AQ, and plot wise.

Im still waiting for my 5 free HD DVDs which I sent the same day in the middle of Feb

Same here. A very interesting, unique movie, but probably only good for limited viewings IMB.

Ranger-R · 04-04-2008, 12:15 AM
