[General Discussion] Your Latest Media Purchase (DVD/CD etc)

I bought South Park Season 2-3-4-5 this week. I couldn't resist, they were all 20$ each!

After I went to "The 69 Eyes" concert last night, I bought these 4 cd's before the concert. Althought the concert was great, these cd's are fun and great to listen to. Some stuff I needed to add in my collection.

Last week I bought Led Zeppelin - BBC Sessions (CD), Arrested Development Season 2 (DVD), Scrubs Season 1, 2 & 3 (DVD), Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 1 (DVD) and Guitar Wolf - Love Songs (CD).

Bought these today:





Haven't had time to watch anything though.

I recently purchased :

CD : Seal (album #2)

Description : Its very different, almost unique, his own style of music, hes very spiritual, as it reflects to most of his songs. Unlike others, many of his songs have meaning, thats not to say others dont. I love his music. My favourite track is of course "kiss from a rose" atleast from this album. He has four albums released thus far, and in time I hope to collect all of them.

DVD : Richard Simmons Super Sweating : Party off the Pounds
Video : Richard Simmons : Groovin in the House

Description : Personally I find Richard Simmons to be a great motivator when it comes to aerobic excercizes. I like his energy, and how he displays it during the workout. Hes full of life, and charisma. I love his dvds and videos, because he makes you want to get out there and sweat those pounds off. He encourages you to follow the amazing workout that he prepares in his videos and dvds. Amazing workout, chart topping music, and an eclectic group of people, jam them all together and you get one hell of a workout on video.

I just bought Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, but unfortunatly here, in Brazil, there's only the Fullscreen Edition. It comes with the bonus disc but only in fullscreen, but since I bought the original Fullscreen I'll just download the Widescreen.

Picked this up the other day:

Finally the R1 release of FFVII, will watch it later tonight after I get through the 2nd disc. Was a bit disappointed the disc didn't include any DTS audio tracks but that'll probably be on the blu-ray or superbit editions. :doh:

You got yours already? I'll have to pick it up when it arrives in stores on Tuesday.

Yeah, but besides that there really isn't much on the 2nd disc. Content was so minimal you could create a 1:1 image of the disc without compression. There was alot more they've could've put on this disc but I expect it to show up later on HD versions. Oh well.

I just got myself the first season of Scrubs. (A little late...)
In retrospect, the earlier episodes aren't as good as the ones later on, excluding the disappointing new season. However, it's pretty nice to see how the actors evolve over time, as cheesy as that may sound.

I still am having trouble finding Scrubs fans in real life, as most people said that they saw one episode and decided that they didn't like it. Grr! If you actuall stick to it, you may discover something special and heartwarming about it, aside from its quirky sense of humor. This is imagination gold. I also really like how there's no live audience. YES!

I might also add that the cast is excellent, especially during the later episodes, when you really see the actors at their "peak." I really can't see this show with any other set of people.

I'm still going crazy over the cute box.

Now, I'm still trying to get the rest of the seasons, as they are, in my opinion, the best.

I just picked up Gilmore Girls seasons 1-2 and Veronica Mars season 1 today. Couldn't resist at $23 each!

(Chameleon)


(Walls of Jericho + Helloween LP + Judas)

Got these two at Tower Records in New York. They were both labled 13.99 but they only ended up being 9.99 each because of some sale they were having i was unaware of. I didn't have too much extra money, so i decided not to splurge anymore.


(A Change of Seasons)

Picked this one up second hand in a FYE down in Washington. I think it was only about $5

I didn't have a CD player with me on this tour, so i haven't actually heard any of them lol. I've heard select songs off of the two Helloween ones, but that's about it. I'm gonna give them all a listen through tonight.

I have a quick question: Does this thread cover books (written and comic) as well? I mean, it does just say 'media purchase' in the title, and since the media centre covers books, it would be logical to think that books would be considered media as well. Besides, it would be kinda pointless to have a thread that just covers people's latest book purchases when they could all be encompassed within this thread. I was just wondering.

So I recently went CD shopping after cashing in my tax return.

Atheist - Elements

I've been looking all over for something by Atheist, finally found a CD!

Amon Amarth - Fate of Norns

I love Amon, and had to get something of them.

Old Man's Child - Revelation 666 The Curse of Damnation

I love them as well, I just had In Defiance of Existance.

Iced Earth - Days of Purgatory

Skin Chamber - Trial

I only picked this up because it was a buck. It sort of sounds like industrial rock. It's ok. Worth a dollar? Sure, I wouldn't pay any more than that.

Picked up a few things today. First off, I got Newsradio Season 3. Damn this a great show (I just finished the seasons 1 & 2 set about a month ago), so I had to get the latest season that was out. Next up, I got Kingdom Hospital: The Entire Series. I've been wanting this for a while, but I've only been able to find the single volume releases up until now (well, I have seen this before, but never when I had any money). Just my luck too, as it was part of a buy one get one free deal at Sam Goody, so I ended up with Seinfeld Volume 1: Seasons 1 & 2 for free. Great fucking deal in my opinion, as this was another show I've been wanting to get for a while, but just never got around to getting. This was about the only other good show on the list anyway (mostly old comedies like The Jeffersons and Good Times, which I don't really care for).

Also, I finally managed to find a copy of the 24 Original Television soundtrack. I already have a burned version of this, but I mainly just wanted this to collect more 24 merchandise (I'm probably not even gonna open it).

Also, the reason I asked the question about if we could post book purchases in my last post is because I got this sweet 24 comic (which is simply titled 24). It's the trade paperback edition that contains all three of the previous comics (One Shot, Midnight Sun, and Stories) in one book. I haven't read it yet, but I skimmed through book, and I must say that the artwork is fucking sweet. I did read the first page of the first comic though, and the story seems like it's gonna be interesting, especially since it covers

Spoiler:

Nina's first day at CTU!

I ordered Advent Children and Galactic Civilizations 2 tonight. The former was a no-brainer while the decision to purchase the latter was actually very much influenced by the recent StarForce scandal involving it. I'd like to see more games without any medium-related copy protection. And yes, I think I'll also enjoy playing it - a good friend of mine is absolutely hooked and I trust his verdict.

Bought Napalmed / Merzbow - "Crash of the Titans" and a 4-way split tape between Damage Digital, Torture Incident, Extreme Decay and Demisor entitled "Durian Is Food, Grind Is Good". Got both for RM35, and come to think of it I probably could've spent another RM5 and gotten Phobia's "Get Up and Kill".

Both are good albums, although the second Merzbow track off of "Crash of the Titans" is kinda lackluster.

Let's see, I've recently bought some cd's and a dvd.
Dvd was the Fellowship of the Ring Special Extended Edition, for my new hometheater.
Cd's I have bought quite a lot recently, considered that usually I don't buy any cd's. These piqued my interest though: Sonata Arctica's new live cd/dvd pack: For The Sake Of Revenge, Blind Guardian's 2-cd live album: Live (Japan version), Genso Suikoden V OST and Genso Suikoden III OST. And these I bought or ordered in two days, guess I had too much money to waste?
