I went a year without buying a dvd from January 2001 to february 2002.
Coincedentally I stayed away from dvdtalk most of that time, this site makes spending money too easy.

I went about four months without buying a DVD at ALL, and for a month or two both before and after that only buying one or two titles.
Unemployed, no money, etc. It was rough.
I spent more time catching up on commentary tracks and features that I'd already bought and never watched.
Now I have a backlog of new discs and extras to watch. I could probably go three months and still have things to see.
Not that I'm going to be holding off on new DVDs for three months.

Man, I need to buy one right now... I haven't ordered anything yet today...
Just kidding. But obviously a lot of us on here have a problem.
Maybe someone should start a 12-step programme for DVD Addicts.

really, it's only a problem if you allow it to be a problem. spending $ on building my film library is fun, educating and worth every penny. and if the format is not dvd...then I'll buy another. it's all in the film for me....and dvd is really the only current option I have.

Started buying DVDs in 99, and the longest stretch I went without buying any was 3 months 21 days (3/7/2002 - 6/26/2002). Probably because that was the end of my last semester at college, and I was pretty much broke.

3 years, thats a new record, huh
in 2000 is when I could buy whatever I wanted, I inherited some money, quit my job and haven't one since (not counting birthdays, where I get money from my relatives)
but I have been looking for a job, it sucks. As soon as I get a job,I am going DVD crazy
