I used to buy about one a week, but that habit stopped a year or two back. Now it's one or two a month--if that. Although October and November look to be exceptions.

Usually one every week or two but it all depends on what's coming out. I also have a "wish list" at a used DVD store and I get the odd email telling me one of my requests is available.

wow.

atari2600 08-31-03 08:14 PM

well i dont have exact estimates but my average is ABOUT one dvd every other week.

and most of those were early on. recently ive bought maybe 4 dvds the last 4-6 months.

Through the first 9 months of this year, I am at 99 dvd's. That averages to 11 per month or around 2.75 per week. A lot less lately though.

Of course it depends on what comes out that week but on average I would guess around 3 or 4. I have had weeks when that has doubled or even tripled but those are rare. Stays pretty steady because even if nothing good comes out a certain week, I usually find some older releases that I had been meaning to pick up for some time.

I've been collecting since 1999 and have 750+ DVDs at the moment so thats about 4 per week on average, though recently my average is way down as I've decided to rent most movies, I still buy about 1/month. The reasons I've cut back are primarily space and shipping, since I'm in Tokyo I eventually need to pay to move this collection to the US and I'm not looking forward to the expense.

I don't really buy DVD's on a set weekly basis. I usually buy them in bunches, 5 or more DVD's at a time. Then, there may be several weeks before I buy again. I do practically all my purchases online. By buying in bunches and looking for low or free shipping, I save money. Though, I have slowed down this year when I hit +900 DVD's.

FatTony 09-01-03 02:56 AM

I've averaged 2.05 DVDs a week since December 1999.

wordtoyamotha 09-01-03 03:32 AM

I usually average one per week. However, due to travel restrictions I haven't bought a single dvd in 7 months -eek-

In a couple weeks I will once again be able to purchase dvd's. Combine that with the fact that the holiday dvd rush will be starting and you have one hell of a dvd bender :brickwl:

The list of dvd's I plan to buy makes the bible look like a short poem.

DouglasRobert 09-01-03 06:43 AM

Since 1997 I have bought over 350 DVD's, but lately I have purchased way less than 1 a month (on average). So far this year I purchased Star Trek Nemesis & The Two Towers. But with all the summer blockbusters and other catalog titles coming out (Indy) my purchases will likely go up.

RichDB10 09-01-03 08:01 AM

Due to financial constraints nowhere near as many as i'd like to :) but generally between 0-3 depending upon what is released.

hgar78 09-01-03 08:59 AM

between 1 and 4. i usually never buy more than that.

NavinJohnson 09-01-03 08:26 PM

I guess between 4 & 10, depending.

lesterlong 09-01-03 09:22 PM

I average about 100 per year although last year I think I was at around 200 anyway, I buy about 1-2 week. Depends on what's coming out.

TheKing 09-01-03 09:36 PM

This year, I'm averaging 4 a week.

unbeeleebable 09-01-03 09:59 PM

Since starting with Netflix i'm down to only one a week

nodoubt 09-01-03 10:01 PM

columbia house once a month (8 dvds). releases that i can't wait, probably 3 to 4 a month

GmoneyOwnsYou 09-02-03 12:25 AM

Like maybe 1 or 2 a month. :-/

jdslater 09-02-03 02:57 AM

usually about 2 per week, for example in the past 7 days i've got the new DTS version of saving Private Ryan,Halloween,Returner and Citizen Kane, also is it wrong to buy a DVD just because you wanted to get a magazine and you didn't have any money and uonly had a credit card?

edytwinky 09-02-03 03:14 AM

Ever since I bought a house. Around 1 or 2

Skull 09-02-03 09:06 AM

0-1.

leemik 09-02-03 10:05 AM

Store buy = 0-3 ... Total per week depends on how many Columbia House enrollments arrive. :)

Ginwen 09-02-03 10:16 AM

If I estimated the weeks right, about 4.4 per week since I started purchasing them in January 2001. But really more than that, since until I found this site in May 2002, I had less than 100, and now I'm over 600 (probably 25% of those from Columbia House).

jekbrown 09-02-03 12:14 PM

yeah i buy in little bunches also. Wont buy one for a couple of weeks or a month, then Ill get 5 or 6 over a few day period.
