We have the thread: What's your most recent DVD purchase?

So let's have this: A test of discipline for dvd "addicts"...

How long was your DVD drought?...by choice or by circumstance?

Sis Cruzsack,

my last DVD was bought from our fellow pinoydvd member Compaq last June 13, 2002 “Barry Manilow Live in DTS”.

Well It’s your turn mga bosing!!!

Ummm...lemme see...I got my DVD drive June 14, got my first DVD June 20 and my second July 9. Umm...until now wala pa akong bagong DVD...does this count?

In any case, I'll be getting quite a few when my friend arrives from the US on August!

One month

Since I started buying in July 1999, my Excel sheet says there has been only 1 month in which I didn't get anything.

So where do I go for the rehab?

I didn't know where this hut was until I stumbled onto it in the feedback forum. I clicked on it blindly and, hey, that place knows me by my real name!

Since I started collecting in year 2000, I think my longest was 10 days (or 2 weeks, can't remember) and that is because my wife gave birth.

espace · « **Reply #11 on:** Jul 25, 2002 at 07:47 PM »

According to my MS Access File: about one month, but not quite. This has happened on quite a few occassions since I began collecting DVD's in December 1999.

Somehow my collection has caught up with me. I still have too many sealed DVD's. Come to think of it, I still have a few sealed LD's.

It becomes doubly difficult when you call your favorite DVD suppliers: Mr. Happy

, find some solace and comfort browsing through Astrovision like you would a book shop and smile at the thought that a much anticipated DVD is arriving.

As they say in El Paso: C'est la vie, my friend, c'est la vie!

(try saying that with a southern drawl, you'll get the drift)

2 months was my longest drought and that includes Pirated DVD9 and DVD5 na tig 80 pesos. Well all I can say is that hard times is here.

On the bright side, I have friends that enthrust their dvds to me.

Yes sirreee, indeed! I took it as a compliment!

Now to get back to the thread topic again, amigo benny!

How long has neighbor Paltik been without a DVD purchase? I would guess not that long? $:-\$ Care to confirm?

When I find myself digging "hmmm... wala na akong mapanood?"

nerveblocker · « **Reply #20 on:** Aug 12, 2002 at 06:38 PM »

I think2 weeks now. The last I got was 5th Element R2 when my cousin arrived from Japan. I still have a Black Hawk Down R1 that hasn't arrived yet coz nobody is going back here in PI to bring my disc.

Presently, all I do is rent, rent and rent! Still looking for DVDs worth buying...I am not impulsive now unlike before...

Everytime I pass by Astrovision or log in to Amazon.com, deepdiscountdvd.com or buy.com there is this little voice in my head saying...."What are you waiting for? BUY BUY BUY!!!". The only thing to shut this voice out is not to go to the malls and to log on to any of this sites.

It has been a week now......

I'm cured! BWAHAWHAW!
