How much of your Blu collection consists of Blind Buys? - Page 4 - Blu-ray Forum

pdw1968 · 04-04-2008, 01:56 AM

Across the Universe
No Country For Old Men
3:10 to Yuma
30 Days of Night
Planet Earth
Deja Vu

I don't regret any of them.

The only movie I bought that was a blind buy was "No Country For Old Men" and it was worth every penny of the 26.79 I paid for it.

Only if he bought the DVD too, or the coupon on Ebay

McHairy21 · 04-08-2008, 02:57 AM

My Blind Buys Are

The Brave One
The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford
Memento
The Messengers
The Omen (Part Of The 5 Free)
Michael Clayton
Ratatouille

And I Enjoyed All Of Them

bajor27 · 04-08-2008, 03:11 AM

My blind buys are:

3:10 to Yuma
Sunshine
Resident Evil: Extinction (had seen 1 & 2 though)
Lost: Season 3 (had seen 1 & 2 although season 1 was a blind dvd buy)
Rescue Dawn
The Departed
Ice Age: The Meltdown
Ratatouille

And if you include the ones that are part of my 5 free with PS3 purchase

Swordfish
American Psycho

What's odd though, is that I don't think I blind bought a single DVD movie (although a few TV shows)

sweatermeatluv · 04-08-2008, 12:18 PM

It seems I buy everything blind! If it FEELS good I jump on it! LOL

rbd3000 · 04-08-2008, 05:20 PM

My blind buys so far are: 300, 3:10 To Yuma, Black Snake Moan, I Am Legend, Ratatouille, Resident Evil Extinction and Revenge. Since I usually only go to the movies during the summer, a lot of my movies are blind buys.

Psychonaut · 04-08-2008, 07:01 PM

When I was collecting regular DVDs, a lot of my movies were blind buys, and I never felt the need to watch many of them again. That said, I'm being a lot more cautious with my Blu Rays, usually renting them prior to buying. The only two I have bought blind are 3:10 To Yuma and NCFOM, both of which I liked a lot. I think I am going to blind buy TWBB only because I haven't heard anything bad about it.

Dexterette · 04-08-2008, 07:06 PM

The Phantom of the Opera
Invincible
Beowulf & Grendel

One of my pre-orders is a blind buy, P.S. I Love You.

un4gvn94538 · 04-08-2008, 07:09 PM

right now approx 50% of the 50 i have. my buying habbits havent changed from dvd to blu. if i like it or think i like it, buy it. only one i couldnt get into was bridge to terabithia.

yspkrk · 04-08-2008, 07:59 PM

I have 49 BDs and 43 of them are blind buys (88%). Very successful buys though!

It's been so exciting to watch a movie on blu for the first time. Oh yeah!!

Crème Blu-ray · 04-08-2008, 08:21 PM

Out of 110 titles, 79 were "true" blind buys. Only two of them so far have been awful enough to consider selling.

Of the remaining 31, I'd say about 20 were "myopic" buys

- movies I'd seen before but for which I had little functional memory of the plot.

jean6825 · 04-08-2008, 08:31 PM

Id Say None , Im picky about the movies i wanna buy , my only blind buy were on normal DVD format .. about 5 years ago , other then that i always like to know what im getting before i buy them.

Cordre69 · 04-08-2008, 10:16 PM

4 or 5. Only the free ones from BOGO or B2GO.

elmo · 04-08-2008, 10:27 PM

out of about 34, at least 25 r blind buys lol (no joke)

Blu Titan · 04-08-2008, 10:34 PM

I would estimate 33% of my collection to be blind buys, and most of them have worked out great. I just made an order with Amazon and two of the three movies I ordered "Jailhouse Rock" and "Run Lola Run" are blindbuys. Some of the notable Blu-ray that I have in my collection that were blind buys include: Apocalypto, POTC At World's End, SM3, Live Free and Die Harder, Sunshine, 3:10 to Yuma, Ratatouille, The Shinning, Bullit, The Getaway, Black Book and may others

GarettP · 04-08-2008, 10:45 PM

The Departed
300
PoTC At World's End

Right now that's about it!
