There you go, Mark. There's 2 clear shools of thought on this matter as illustrated in our posts: Me Type, who buys and watches almost immediately and You Type, who buys and watches at their leisure. Of course not suggesting either way is right or wrong, just different viewing habits.
I'm almost like a little kid when it comes to these things so I'm excited enough to want to go home and watch what I just bought immediately, unless something comes up that prevents that. For example if I bought one of the soon-to-be re-released James Bond boxed sets(which I won't because I'll be buying the individual titles but just follow me here) on a Friday I'd tear right into it as soon as I got home. Doesn't mean I'd get through watching all the movies that night but it would definitely be a James Bond weekend.
