I've rarely gone more that one week without buying a new release since the laserdisc days. Maybe happened 7-8 times since 1991.

I typically go two to three weeks between purchases--and sometimes more. But I buy mostly box sets these days, and it takes me a while to get through the movies and extras.

Depends on how you measure this. If you go by a purchase a week, I'm pretty good. But a lot of the releases I get tend to fall in clumps on the same day, so I might buy five in a month, but that might also be on one day out of the month. Also, for a good part of last year, i was partially unemployed, so I think I bought The Incredibles, and that was it until September, or so. Anything else was a gift.

I'm guessing just over a week. Like others have said if there isn't anything I want coming out any given week I'll buy something I've been meaning to buy for awhile.

I "think" the longest i've gone was 2 weeks. But I know i went thru with drawls and bought a movie out the $5.50 bin at Walmart.

Two weeks probably, maybe three. Then, if it's been too long, I go plunging in the bins for something worthwhile.

2-3 weeks, then I'll buy 2 DVD's to heal the withdrawal.
