My first dvd i bought is the Bad Boys II 2 Discs Limited Edition (Philippines) with a 12" figure of Will Smith. Actually i bought this title not for the dvd but for the figure dat comes with it as i am a die hard action figure collector.

I use to have the S.W.A.T Limited Edition (Philippines) the one with a 12" figure of Collin Farrel but had to sold it in order to have money to spend for my Marvel Legends collection. :'( :'( A big mistake which i regret till now.

nice story you got there keilu.

i advise that you keep your Wizard of Oz (r3). some of the features about the filming controversy are not included in the new release.

I did not buy my 1st DVD. My 1st DVD was a gift:

I had this before I had a DVD player so it was the lone DVD on the shelf for months. My next batch of DVD's (around 6) were also given to me. Again, I had these even before I had a DVD player. So, for a few weeks, I had 7 DVD's on the shelf with no DVD player.

Do you remember the first DVDs that you owned that started a hobby and a near religion?

I remember back in 2002, I chanced upon a sale at Video City. Bought 3 ex-rental dvds priced at P300. They were:

Sudden Death ( Van Damme )
What Planet Are You From
Wedding Planner

But that still didn't get me into this hobby as those were my only DVDs until 2005 when I bought BATMAN BEGINS. Followed by IRON GIANT, PEACEMAKER, THE MUMMY and BROKEN ARROW. The rest is history.

How about you guys?

first legit (

) DVD I bought was Bram Stoker's Dracula Superbit edition, around the second quarter of 2005. I started taking interest in HT around January of that year; bought a few 'jack sparrow' dvds initially and then was exposed to Astrovision

juanch · « **Reply #320 on:** Jan 09, 2008 at 05:00 PM »

I don't remember exactly anymore but I think it was in 2002.
I bought A Knight's Tale.

However, it was in 2003 when Warner dropped the price of their snapper dvd's to 299 that I started to splurge.

It's been a hobby ever since.

i cant remember if it was 2000 or 2001, when we bought our dvd player during that time, the 1st DVDs we bought were:

the matrix and the negotiator both R3

THE FIRST BATCH of DVDs I got my hands on came from Amazon.com and it was 1998, among which are: MOONRAKER JAMES BOND & VERTIGO. The subsequent batches included KURUSAWA'S RAN, THE TRUMAN SHOW, FLASH GORDON & MAD MAX. None of those I have kept till today because they've undergone fresh remastering after many years and then released in improved editions. For me DVDs democratized the perfect-video home theater experience. Whether one is a certified millionaire who owns a 10-bit Video DACS-equipped DVD player with a matching 50-inch RPTV or a 9-inch CRT front projector, or a middle class bloke cum technically-minded nerdy - anybody could grab after a DVD disk and he could enjoy the same video quality that his more privileged neighbor initially enjoys from the laserdisk or US-import VHS originals.

hirap pa maghanap. very limited titles na available. puro warner lang tapos snapper case pa. if you wanted a particular r1 title in those days, you either had to order online or find specialty shops like cd warehouse. used to order from dvdexpress.
