The Negotatior, still have it and I bought it on the same day I bought my Samsung DVD player. I was a late adoptor because I liked laserdisc so much. It was only after my brother got his Pioneer player with Lost in Space (I was so blown away by the menu screens) that I went for it!
I think I have made up from my earlier hestation.



BTW I still have that laserdisc player.

I got my DVD player in 99 and there were only a handful of dvds out at the time.

The Matrix, The Blair Witch Project, and the Nightmare on Elm Street Collection where my first purchases... I think. Hard to remember.

Yes, I still have them.

My first DVD was South Park: Bigger Longer and Uncut. I bought it shortly after it came out on the same day I bought my first DVD player, which was a pioneer that cost about $250.

Never bought it, but Elizabeth was the first dvd to penetrate my virgin player - she obviously had a strap on.

ROCKY II in 1998.

I don't have it, as I've upgraded ROCKY II twice.

I bought it for the trailer: "He wants to bury ya, he wants to humiliate ya....He wants to prove to the whole world that you were nothin' but a freak the first time out!"

That's when trailers were the only extras that DVD's had.

'The Big Lebowski' - bought the DVD and laserdisc at the same time (still didn;t have a DVD player yet).

May 2002 - Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone [WS]

I pricematched CompUSA's $9.99 price at Walmart but didn't get a DVD player until December of that year. I still have both.

Eplicon 03-20-07 02:00 PM

Born on the Fourth of July, Nov. '99. Got it for free from a voucher (Reel.com) that came with my DVD-R drive. Sold it a few months later since it was part of the original, deluxe Oliver Stone box set, which I also no longer have. BOTFOJ was those titles that I also double/triple-dipped on until Universal finally did it right a few years ago.

roger_d 03-20-07 02:05 PM

Scarface (Pacino) first pressing. Still got it. :)

Ginwen 03-20-07 02:31 PM

Brazil Criterion. I still have it, but I've upgraded the first disk.

First dvds I got for Christmas (and still have) - Jurassic Park 3, Planet of the Apes Remake Special Edition. I bought Rush Hour 2 a few days later and still have it.

Funny I too purchased this title in that case around that time but my first 2 were 'Eraser" and 'Space Jam' along with my $500.00 Sony player! The dvd's I no longer have BUT I still have the sony player which works fine to this day!
The other discs I remember getting early were 'Backdraft' and 'A boy and his Dog' in jewel cases...I have neither now-

Run DMC: Together Forever. Got it 5 months before I got my DVD player. Yes, I still have it.
