You guys are all bringing up excellent points about DVD shopping in general.
Like Gary, I wait on new releases to either hit the used bins at local rental shops or stores which carry used bins. Exceptions are for those few titles which I "gotta have" right away or are not likely to make it to used bins.
Dan-P: That was a terrific bit of smart shopping...and the kind of shopping that people on a budget need to do. Thanks for taking the time to share that with us all. I'm sure it was a lot of work to do in the first place...and then to share it all with us was very cool.
I often wish I didn't HAVE to spend so much time shopping for the best price on DVDs or HT gear...but I do. I've always been curious about whether I would still be such a "smart shopper" is I had limitless funds (or at least a much bigger budget!). In other words, is being a "smart shopper" borne of necessity or something that you do no matter your circumstances. I would love to find out some day.
