For me it is.


I got almost everything I wanted and I won't have to step foot at a best buy until Feb 8 when Miami Vice comes out.



finally a break. I have been going there about 3 times a month since August.

I was in a Best Buy exactly once this year, and that was only to spend a gift certificate I was given. I don't care for their limited selection and lackluster prices.

After next week or two it will be for a while:

Dec. 21
Simpsons Season 5
Resident Evil: Apocalypse
Shaun of the Dead

Dec. 28
Anchorman Gift Set

after that it'll be a while before anything else I want comes out.

Begrudging thanks for the reminder; I thought I was done for at *least* the rest of the year ('Shaun of the Dead' being on my Christmas list).

Dammit.

pretty light for the rest of this month, and only two titles for me next year, up to Feb.15th.

December 21, 2004
Shaun of the Dead

December 28, 2004
Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence
Anchorman LE giftset

January 11, 2005
Ghost in the Shell SE

January 25, 2005
Predator 2 CE

Feb. 15, 2005
Half Baked: Fully Baked Edition
Ice Pirates
Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War

Here are the DVD's I plan to pick up in the next two months.

12/28 Garden State
1/4 Millennium Season 2 (I'll pick up if I like the first season)
1/11 Gilligan's Island Season 2
1/11 The Village
2/1 The Grudge
2/15 Donnie Darko Directors Cut
2/22 Cube Zero (more likely a rental)
2/22 Heat

Do you just mean the last DVD's to buy for 2004, or FOREVER?

actually, today was when my wife informed me that I was to buy no more DVDs until after christmas. I know I'm getting them, but I don't know which ones. DAMN!!! she told me to make her a list of ones I wanted. I quit typing after about 75 or so, so christmas should be interesting this year. think I'm gonna need more shelf space though..

Nope.

December 21st:

Shaun of the Dead
Napoleon Dynamite

December 28th:

GARDEN STATE (!!!)
Anchorman Unrated Giftset

January 4th:

Harold and Kumar Go to Whitecastle Unrated

January 11th:

The Village


IT just doesn't stop....

Well I thought that next year might be slow since there was so many great releases this year, but so far its looking like I'm wrong. My DeepDiscountDVD wishlist went from 2 items to almost 14 in the past couple of days...and after reading this thread I have to add 'Ice Pirates' and 'Cube Zero'

edit:

also :

01/18/05: curb your enthusiasm season 3
02/15/05 saw
01/25/05 the beastmaster

That about sums up how frequently I purchase anything at Best Buy. But I did make my yearly purchase today since I had a 10% coupon and it was the only place that had the Rocky Anthology with the 6th disc. Also got the Top Gun DVD with the free bonus disc while I was there. Otherwise my DVD buying is finished until January 11 when Gilligan's Island season 2 is released.

You mean people actually pay those prices. I prefer to shop online and not deal with the twits at Best Buy. I actually buy very little on release day. I wait a month or so and many drop in price and lots of used ones show up. I purchase release week or preorder about 1% of the time.

12-21-04
The Manchurian Candidate (2004)
Shaun of the Dead

12-28-04
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (Unrated Gift Set)

That's all the new releases I'm interesed for the year... Jan. is looking pretty dry... Looks like a saving month.

oh my god, like everybody who works at best buy is a complete moron!!! i bet they can't even tell the difference between pan & scan and open matte!! i bet they don't even care either!!

Surprisingly, the next two weeks are extremely light. As far as I can tell, looks like I'm only picking up Napoleon Dynamite and Garden State. Aside from The Village and Donnie Darko: Director's Cut, I can't think of much else of interest for the first couple months next year.

K

nope. off to the top of my head, Shaun of the Dead and Garden State are just over the horizon.

New movies keep coming out. They eventually get put on dvd. Some of them are good. I buy those. Why would I stop buying dvds?

Ha! no. Garden State, Simpsons, Nap Dynomite will be the next two weeks enjoyment.

I'm getting Top Gun SE this week, and then I'll also just wait for Miami Vice Season 1 on february.

I'll try and cut back (but I doubt that will happen). In 2005 my main DVD purchases will be of TV shows that I've already started buying.

I can ALWAYS find something to buy. I have no need to stop

I have already estimated that I expect to spend around $500 during the first half of next year.
Of course, these are must have titles and exclude unnannounced DVDs or DVDs that I may come across during an excellent sale or so.

It is a magnificent movie! Highly recommended.
