Spend a lot of money.
I started building a home theater para lang sa DVD
wala pa akong dvd player bumili na ako ng matrix DVD.
Bumili ako ng amplifier , front speakers, surround speakers,
center speakers, front speakers uli, surround speakers uli.
Bumili din ako ng PS2 kasi akala ko para syang DVD player
and game console all in one, hindi pala. So bumili din ako
ng dvd player. Sa components pa lang yun.. sa Discs mismo
d ko na alam magkano nagastos ko...

Hi JepX -- but what I understand about the PS2 is that is plays games as well as plays DVDs...bakit "hindi pala"?

Please let me know because I am planning to buy a PS2 later this year, when the price drops to $149 (probably around Christmas time)

gets · « **Reply #35 on:** Jun 24, 2001 at 11:29 PM »

i own a ps2 and its where i play my dvds along with my pc. no problems playing them there yet...i guess he might mean na basic play features lang yung macocontrol mo walang fancy stuff like zoom, memory, and some other functions of a dedicated dvd player. but it works for me.

i don't think its price would go down to $149 this christmas...but if it does, great!... its a drastic 50% drop from the current $299 pricetag... and it seems to sell well at that price... by christmas, its competition would cost xbox-$299, gamecube-$199.. the lowest i can see it going down to is $199.

Hi gets -- thanks for your input, you're probably right about the lack of advanced play features being JepX's complaint about PS2.

Have PS2 sales really been that good? Because I've read that sales have not met expectations due partly to the high hardware price, the initial shortage of units and subsequent inability to meet demand, and few truly compelling games for the system so far. Looks like Konami's Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty will be the PS2's first killer app -- a year after its launch. That's a long time to be settling for mediocre games.

Just to keep this post on topic -- another crazy thing I've done for DVD is to seriously contemplate getting a PS2 AND a dedicated DVD player AND a DVD-capable iMac AND iBook. This despite the fact that I'm currently quite broke after having spent over P100,000 on discs alone.

Tell me that isn't crazy.

... still buying DVDs even if I cannot watch them.

I play DVDs on the PC but I sold my PC last month to buy a new one. Until now, I still don't have a PC and still buying DVDs.

It's nice to find out this extended warranty thing is not a racket and advantageous for certain appliance purchases. Will definitely consider it at my next purchase.

Buying a new TV para lalo naming ma-enjoy yung panonood ng DVD!! hehehe!!

Gastos talaga!!

Buying plenty of DVDs at the same time!!!

DVDiva - buti na lang you and Firewired were crazy enough to create this website!!!!

when abenson (SMWest) gave me the new unit, it was in a sealed box, with a free DVD pa and a new receipt with the present price value, that's why I enrolled it again to their extended warranty. They're very accomodating and they are the one calling me up pa if the unit arrive and ready to pick up of course with the defective unit surrendered to Philips center I hope other appliance store will also follow what abenson is doing as part of their consumer right program.

Thanks again for the info mm2001.

The program is available at most major appliance stores. I believe that it's a type of insurance run by one of the local major insurance companies. It's just that I never bothered with it thinking that it was just another rip off. But thanks to your posts, it seems like a worthwhile offer.

But then, this may be one of the saner things we can do to support our DVD addiction. Better to stop at that before the mods change the title of this thread to ...saner things...

Buying a new TV about 9 months after I bought one, since I wanted a multi-system set to play Region 2 discs on! I'm more of an Amazon.co.uk regular than an Amazon.Com one.

Buying two DVD with the same title. One for general use [panggamit], and the other one as a prize collection [pang dislay].

Influencing friends and family to build an HT system for DVDs so I could sell them my custom made speakers.

Hehe!

Influencing friends and family to log-in to PinoyDVD.

Influencing friends and family to buy me DVDs on special occassions like b-day and Christmas na may kasama ng titles para mapag-ipunan nila.

Went all the way to Quiapo in shorts, slippers and sando to satisfy my curiousity in pirated DVDs.

Spend a lot of time looking for DVD bargains in the net.

Not studying for my diplomate boards just to open and watch those sealed DVDs and logging on to PinoyDVD! Aaarrghh! Hope and pray I won't flunk the freaking exam...don't know who to blame but DVDs!

This is where I, as well as Ann are doing. Keep on buying/ordering even though we have a back log of unopened DVDs.

Buying a new but generic DVD player just to play my one and only R3 disc [Godzilla Vs Megaguirus]. But now, I have another reason to buy more R3 DVDs. Of course, kapag walang R1 releases lang.

Bought a 2nd DVD player just to play DTS tracks, kc DD lang yung old Player ko.

Buy a DVD just to meet a Pretty Woman kahit sagad na ang wallet ko at that time.
