I'll put this question here because I don't know where else to put it, but how often do you guys buy Blu Rays or regular DVD's? I find myself on Ebay everyday (not buying everyday) trying to look for the deals. So, how often do all of you guys make these purchases?

eBay is a seller's market. There are much better deals to be had here if you pay attention.

Every Tuesday.

Almost every Tuesday.

I pick up one or two every week. Between Target, Best Buy and Amazon, there is almost always some Blu for $15 or less I'm willing to buy.

up until now i was ordering stuff almost daily via Amazon and the marketplace...but now I only buy new releases from a select few companies and rent the rest.

It seems like I buy something every other day, either online or in a store. Yes, I have a problem...

johnmc5

How do you figure? From all that I have seen, Ebay offers the lowest prices.

Amazon Marketplace is cheaper then ebay and your protected under Amazons policy.

I think this should be moved to the HD Forum.

Anyway, as to the question: I buy... when I feel like it and my wallet can afford it. As we all do.

I sometimes go on mad shopping sprees, and then there are times when I don't really feel like ordering anything at all. It just depends on how much money I have and what titles are available that I still feel are needed in my collection.

I love cinema. So many films interest me. However, I don't tend to make purchases on newly released titles. I usually tend to wait for price drops on movies because I know that they are going to drop in price eventually and waiting allows me an opportunity to add even more of the films I love to my ever-growing collection.

I hardly ever make purchases just because I simply want something. I have to consider the reason why I want the film or show. Then I decide if I believe the price will go down in the future, if I suspect a better edition will become available in the near future, or if the purchase I am considering seems like a safe bet for adding to the collection.

In the end though, I basically buy Blu-ray's all the time.

You started an exact duplicate of this a hour ago in the blu-ray bargain forum....

I usually average 1-3 purchases a week.

Maybe he started a new thread here because of my suggestion that the thread belonged in HD Talk.

However, my hope was that a moderator would move the original thread.

I haven't bought a DVD in a long time. I have no schedule for buying BDs. And I avoid eBay.

JimRochester

Very seldom on the BR and never on the DVD. I rent 95% of what I see.

I look for DVDs practically every day, but since I already have most of what I want, I usually don't find anything on any kind of a regular basis. But when I do find something interesting and at a decent enough price, I buy it. -kd5-

I purchase at least one blu-ray or tv show a month. It really depends on what's coming out or what's on sale. During BF I purchased nearly 25 blus and dvds, but last week I only bought two (Dexter season 3 and Mystery Team).

LosingMyMind

It probably averages out to every other day.

I hardly buy anything anymore unless it is a sale I cant pass up or for christmas/birthday or if I have a gift card. I used to buy DVDs all the time, but it just got to be too much. I do have some Blu-Rays, but I really have no desire to try and replace my DVDs as they still look fine to me. There is rarely anything I want to see in theaters the last couple of years, I just use Netflix for most new Blu-Ray releases.

It's morning so I'll elaborate.

I went from buying 5 or more a week to buying a handful a year. I rent from BB online and will put a few good BR titles on my birthday or Christmas list. I never buy DVD's anymore. No need. If anything I'm trying to pare down my collection to titles I'll actually watch again.

I am no longer a collector. I'm just a watcher.

adrenaline78

There is no set timetable for my buying. It depends on the title, availability and deal. I usually won't buy if the price isn't right, as most of us, nor am I blind buying much of anything anymore. This year i am going to try not to buy more than a few titles a month.
