Yes, I remember the days of 9.28 being a good deal. I stoped buying DVDs for a few years. I ended up selling most of my collection. When I replace them through CH and Big Lots, I can't believe the difference. My old DVD Profiler prices are there and in many cases the difference is 1/4 to 1/3 what I originally paid for them.

In fact, with Big Lots and Blu-Ray, I'm having trouble even finding enough DVDs for an enrollment. I've only recycled 3 accounts in the last year and half. Though I did get a bunch of DVDs in the B1G4 fiasco.

As far as buying, I'd say if you ARE GOING TO WATCH IT NOW, then buy, otherwise, you will buy it, it will sit on your shelf unopened, you will see a much cheaper deal and be pissed you ever bought it.

I don't mind waiting for almost anything. the last DVD I was excited to get on release day was Spider-Man (the first one). Since then, I've just learned to wait, be patient and pick it up for 3-5 bucks or <10 for a Blu-Ray.

That's pretty much exactly where I've been the last few years. Except for exclusives, I always wait.
