Actually you just did, kinda. .

you gotta be kidding me.

"HA HA! I have a few days earlier then you!! HA HA!"


wow.. that really feels good.

if i say anything like to my friends, its legal grounds for a beating.

ha ha ha, so true. so so true.

Yeah, the only time I myself tend to agree with a thread being posted like this, is when somebody from this forum gets a release early, and then actually tells us from their point of view, exactly what's with the set, hows the quality of the transfer, post some pictures, etc etc etc. Hence the reason why I get kind of upset at these threads and said 'I hope they get fined'. Not really because of their early release, but if you're making the stores name out to the public... well, it's bound to happen. And a 'this store has it early, teehee' kind of thread is kind of just a downer for the rest of us who are waiting for this release, unless you can give us some info about it.

Probably not, I mean there's a group of people who enjoy making fans of certain things feel tortured or angered for anything popular: Star Wars, Star Trek, Matrix, Limp Bizkit, all the best of examples of people who just love to get their fingers into saying things like 'i got this early!' just to piss people off, sometimes they don't really even have it and are lying. I've seen it happen quite a bit. These kinds of people need something better to do with their lives.

lol...you just did!

that's your opinion....mine is that there are people out there that are like "wow how did you get it already" or "cool...can we come over and watch it"....people don't buy a movie early to piss other people off...well atleast I wouldn't....but then again if people are lying about it like you said...then that is ghey...lol.

Family Guy Vol.2 actually came out earlier then the release date...why did I get it early...cuz I love Family Guy and wanted to watch it.

Movies I've never seen yet:
Star Wars Trilogy
Indiana Jones Trilogy
Gladiator
Saving Private Ryan

I hate to pile on the original poster, but I wanted to emphasize this point. I think many, if not most of the NYC posters here already know the stores that break street date, and if there's a DVD that we really want to get early, chances are we've already scoped out those places. It's unnecessary to post the name of the store--keep it to yourself so they don't get fined, and you can keep going back there for your early DVD releases.

that was the point of the post.

sarcasm. learn it, love it, live it.

the point is people like to buy things early because they want to be #1 on the scene. but when it's all said and done, there isn't anything under the sun that isn't owned by someone else or that hasn't been discovered. so buying a week early to show off to some friends means little when it's been around for months and not flashed in your face. get the point?

I just wanted to watch matrix reloaded early. Not to be #1 on the scene. If it's a movie I really like, chances are I'll be dying to watch the DVD on my widescreen in the comfort of my own home. And I'm sure alot of the early buyers feel that way, and not just to brag.

I love getting my DVDs but I don't ever need them before the release day. Some stores don't know enough and put them out when they get them. Other know it's early and they would rather get a jump start on selling them at a higher price. (25.00)

The second type of stores are the ones that should be fined and run into the ground.

I'll get my copy at midnight like I do with all the releases important to me. Until then I can resist that high price tag.

id say 90% of my dvds i wait until i can get them at CH. for a few, if i absolutely love them, i will get them for ~$15 from like bestbuy.

That's my exact system as well.

mzupeman, there's a Russian saying for your attitude: "Bitter grapes"!

If the original poster said his co-worker got it, how could he be bragging that he got it early? Maybe - just maybe - he was giving a heads up to anyone interested? Bunch of ingrates!

I often post to say I have DVD's early (UK often get R1's up to 2 weeks before), but it's not for the purposes of bragging.

In truth, I do feel a sense of excitement when gettings films early, and the intention is to simply try and communicate some of that enthusiasm for those who may be eagerly awaiting the film.

This is particularly true when the release happens to be an exceptional one. It's good to be able to go on this site and recommend a really good DVD without reservation, especially if a lot of people out there may be sitting on the fence about whether to get it or not.

I try not to post negative comments - if I am dissapointed with a release I get early, I won't post at all. It's different if it's a fault, then sure I will post just to warn everyone. But giving negative opinions (and I see that a lot on this site) is unhelpful, and is usually done by those aforementioned individuals who take great delight in posting stuff like "I just got ...........early - and it sucks!!!".

After all, this is a dvd enthusiasts board, and it's all about passing on that enthusiasm to everyone on the board, right?
