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

Just got Arrested Development Season 1 on DVD for my brithday. Now I just need to buy Season 2 and pre-order Season 3. Fantastic show that got cut down in its prime. Why can't good TV get good ratings? Moronic public.

I bought Seasons 2, 3 and 5 of the X-Files thinpaks last weekend.

I plan to pick up Seasons 4 and 6 soon -- and of course, Seasons 7-9 when they arrive June 6th.


Addicted now.

Addicted now, eh?
Good!

I recently bought season 8....even though season 8 and 9 are rather weak seasons in general.
I still wanna complete my collection and recently the X-Files DVD boxes have become criminally cheap. (29.99 euro's)

I will probably buy season 9 very soon too.
Especially because I have never seen the finale episode's!

Yeah, I started watching Season 1 recently, after never really watching it on TV. I can't believe I missed such a great series.

Tappy, do you buy the newly released thinkpaks? Or the original boxset releases, which were hefty in price?

I bought the original boxsets until season 7 (which are the seasons you "must" have and 8 & 9 are nice extra additions) and now they stopped releasing them over here.

So I only have the thinpack of season 8.
The original boxsets have a less cheaper "feel", but they do take up a bit more space.

I will definitely end up purchasing all the seasons, including 8 and 9. I couldn't afford the original boxsets, considering each of them were $100+ Canadian. These thinpaks, on the other hand, are reasonably priced.

Did you start watching the series on DVD like me? Or did you used to watch it on TV?

I just bought Dir en grey's Withering To Death at FYE last week for 10 bucks. It's their first american release, and even though I have the imported version, for ten bucks to buy it again is worth it, and it shows they have fans here in America. Heh.

I already was a fan when it first came on tv.
Like in the US, X-Files was a rather big thing in the Netherlands back in 1993/1994....everybody was talking about it in school or at work!

Together with Buffy, I guess you could say these are both on my number 1 spot of best tv series ever made!

I starting buying the boxsets when they originally arrived on DVD for the first time.
Especially the first 3 or 4 seasons were absolutely freakin' expensive.
I remember buying the first season for around 120 or 130 euro's.
(it was back when we didn't have the euro yet, so I can't remember exactly...it could be even more then 130 euro's).
But they were an absolute must-have for me at that time....so I just bought them nevertheless!

I got Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children yesterday and watched it. Somehow my opinions of movies are always different from those of others, as I really seemed to enjoy it. There's lots of action in the second half of the film too.

Jeff Wayne's War Of The Worlds. Awesome album. The ULLA thing is kinda irritating, but other than that I can't see any flaw with it. The first three tracks are the standouts, alongside "Brave New World." I love the voice of the dude who plays the Artilleryman.

I am 14 episodes into the 1st Season, and I can understand where all the praises were coming from. The writing and the pacing are very good. Music is done by Mark Snow, right? Terrific stuff.

"Ice" was a great episode. I was on the edge of my seat.

Picked up Angels & Airwaves first CD, We Don't Need To Whisper. More anthemic music from Tom DeLonge.

I always felt that after the X-Files movie, the following seasons suffered severly. At the start of Season 8 with the introduction of Doggett, the show picked up. Season 9, uh...wasn't really necessary.

Last CD i bought was Prodigy - Their Law a few months ago.

Last DVD i bought was Chapelle Show Season 1.

Last CD was Disarmonia Mundi's Nebularium and Fragments of D-Generation. Turns out the download for D-Generation has its tracks mixed.

Last DVD bought was The Professional: Deluxe Edition.

Porcupine Tree - Up The Downstair
Porcupine Tree - The Sky Moves Sideways
Porcupine Tree - Stupid Dream

Went on a bit of a spree. I absolutely love Stupid Dream.

I went and got Oliver & Company today for $12.99. I can't justify spending $30 on Disney movies, so I'm glad I found this for cheap in a used book store. I was going to get The Fox and The Hound for $9.99 as I think it's a better movie than O&C, but it wasn't in widescreen. Pppft.

I just bought these on a sale a few weeks ago:

- Comedian
- Jerry Seinfeld: Im Telling you for the last time
- Hard Way
- Men in Black II
- The Complete Denis Leary

I also recently bought 3 cd's:

- Shin Onimusha Original Soundtrack
- Chaos Legion Original Soundtrack
- Devil Summoner Kuzunoha Raidou vs Choriki Heidan Ongaku Zenshu Original Soundtrack

The DVD's are pretty cool to watch and i got them cheap.
The CD are so freakin' cool that i decided to buy them.

Borders had a buy 3 get one free sale on DVDs, so I wound up leaving with more than I expected to. I had only planned on buying The 4400: The Complete Second Season, but after I found out about the sale I had to take advantage of it. My mom was already getting The Big Valley: The First Season on DVD, so I just added that on to my purchases to make that two. Then I saw that The Closer: The Complete First Season was out on DVD, so I picked that up to make three. Finally, I saw The Job: The Complete Series, and decided to make that my last purchase.

Funny thing is, they're supposed to make the lowest priced item the free one, but they didn't. The Closer was $35, making it the lowest priced one, but they instead made The 4400, which cost $40, the free one. It only saved me $5, but five bucks is five bucks.

I already have the first season of The 4400, but I've never seen the second season. I figured I would get this so I could watch all of it before the third season airs, which starts next month.

I never watched The Closer before, but it looked interesting from the commercials. I figured I would do the same thing with this as I'll do with The 4400: Watch it on DVD so I can watch the next season when it airs on TV (season 2 of The Closer also starts next month).

The Job was Denis Leary's show that he made before Rescue Me (which I just got through watching on DVD), so I figured I would give this show a shot. If it's even half as funny as Rescue Me, it'll definitely be a good show. I actually remember watching an episode or two when it first came on TV, and I think I liked it.

I also picked up a copy of the first issue of 24: The Official Magazine. It's awesome, except for a few errors in it that I saw.
