Yup this is indeed very addictive. So I try to maximize all I can. I no longer buy dvds, especially new releases (not to sound mayabang) but Im just being realistic. But if you are a LE, steelbook collector, that another story imo. Those are worth double, triple dipping if you are that kind of collector..I only buy tv series and really old catalogs that are less than 10 dollars in dvd right now. I'm more selective and will just purchase new releases (that I really like) in blu-ray. I really love catalog movies so I try to buy them in blu when it hits the 11 to 16 dollar range. Anything higher (like 19.95 or more) I will only buy if its my super favorite (like the old Bonds
). I really love Hong Kong movies so I buy them even at a little premium, but usually they are priced great. An example of how great some blu can be priced is amadeus and jfk. I got it for 14.99. When I opened it up, I thought "Man I just spent the best 14.99 dollars in blu" Well worth it. Super ganda. I'm sure the video and audio is too.
I'm also trying to be selective on my purchases but I know its hard especially once these discs hit the 12 to 15 dollar levels in a matter of months. Sometimes just can't resist to replace my dvd's with them. All is worth it imo. The sad thing is, my dvds (majority reg 3, viva, magna, warner) have no value now. Just check the marketplace and see how people are having a hard time selling if its not region 1, or really good region 3's (thats the way I see it, I may be wrong). Try selling Day after tomorrow-viva for mga 150 pesos. I doubt there will be a buyer
....Hirap din nga mag benta ng brand new Blu-ray if its above 1,500. Titles have to be great (like ironman, dark knight etc.) for it to sell. I wanna sell my dvd's at a very low price like 80 to 100 pesos. I'm just consolidating everything to sell.
Ooops OT na ata ako
..Again just being "realistic"
