So some DVD collection sites you are able to sort by purchase date and i got to thinking what my biggest purchase day was since i've had a couple recently. I buy most on release day so that sort works accurately for me too.

so 12/18/07 was my biggest in a long while with 7 releases:
"Evil Dead" (UE)
"Blade Runner" (LE)
"Alpha Dog"
"The Simpsons Movie"
"Hatchet" (BB Set)
"Halloween" (Lenticular)
"Braveheart" (SCE)

So what was your biggest purchase day...how many and what date?
**listing titles is optional, but might be more fun**

i belive black friday 2006 was one of my biggest purchase dates ever. i don't recall how many titles total, would have to look up my receipt or something, but i remember getting at least 15-20 titles, and my total was somewhere around $400, which is pretty high considering how low some of those discs are priced. i can only remember these right off the top my head:

entourage s1
entourage s2
inside man
monster house
house s2
pride and prejudice

now i'm curious to find out exactly what i got...

Groucho

Tomorrow, actually. I'm planning to go around and pick up as many collector's editions of Blue Harvest as possible. These should go for a nice sum on ebay down the line.

12-26-2007 - X Files Ultimate Edition

I never buy more than 2 or 3 at a time, usually just 1 except for bundling to get free shipping, so I don't know what my biggest day was. I could sort by release date, but that obviously wouldn't work because it would show titles I bought later. (I don't track when I bought something.)

Rammsteinfan

12/18 was probably mine too. About 7 titles purchased that day.
