DVDs purchased AFTER Christmas with Christmas proceeds. (1 Viewer)

[Bob clamer]

First on my list will be "Alien Nation: The Complete Series"

 

[MarkHarrison]

I already spent Christmas money / money from returns on:

Office Space
Tommy Boy
The Lost Boys (got the old version and upgraded it to the new SE)
King Kong Collection (the Best Buy limited edition)

I still have $9 left to spend. It will either go towards a cheap movie (perhaps it's finally time to pick up Laura!) or be used to other money for something bigger. Not sure yet.

 

[Bob clamer]

I'd be more than happy to take any excess off your hands!

 

[Travis Brashear]

I traded THE ISLAND (which I'd already bought the date of release) for TOY STORY 2: Special Edition; I'm also spending some X-Mas cash on the Collector's Box for the FRIENDS DVDs Seasons 1-10 and on an import DVD of U2's "All Because of You" single...

I used a giftcard to pick up The Shield: Season Four. I was buying it either way but it was nice to save the cash.

 

[RyanAn]

Well, I bought a CD player for my car with the help of a Best Buy gift card, but with the remainder of the money I have until payday, I will probably buy:

Grizzly Man
Into the Blue
SeaQuest DSV: Season 1
The Shield: Season 4
Tracey Takes On: Season 1
WWE Survivor Series 2005

 

[Bryce Miner]

Toy Story 2 for me.

 

[MarkHarrison]

I ended up spending the $9 on Laura and Se7en. I guess I went a little over the $9 I had to spend, but Se7en Platinum was on sale for $12 and I couldn't resist. :b

 

[Jordan_E]

The Black Hole
McLintock!
Dragonslayer

The wife isn't very happy with my picks...but it was MY gift certificate, dang it!

Also have a little cash and expect to hit the malls this weekend for a few more discs.

 

[MarkHastings]

That brings up a question that I'd be interested in hearing the answer to:

With your Christmas 'proceeds', what DVD's will you buy that you normally wouldn't buy with your own money.

 

[ZacharyTait]

With the $100 Best Buy GC, $25 Meijer GC, and $20 cash I bought the following:

Sin City SE ($30)
Gilmore Girls Season 3 and 4 ($25 each)
Toy Story 2 SE ($15)
Simpsons Season 7 (regular box, not the Marge head) ($42)

 

[Bob clamer]

"With your Christmas 'proceeds', what DVD's will you buy that you normally wouldn't buy with your own money".

Good question.

Since I have a friend that works in my local video store I usually do not buy that many new releases since I get everything from him used at half the price of the new release price at a particular time of the month so I usually use gift certificates/money for box sets or releases that my local video store would not carry. He lets me come in and pick the best copies. Example: Wedding Crashers best price is $14.99, I'll get it for $7.00 when he can pull the copies to be sold. Done this for years and never had a bad copy.

I got a $25 gift [Walmart. UGGG!!] card from a relative. I am going to get either Nashville or Being There on DVD. How are the transfers [sound & picture] on these? Is Warners planning special edition of Being There? Would be nice! My other gift card is a $50 American Express gift card. That will be used on Feb 28th when that Dog Day Afternoon, Network, and All The President's Men box is released from Warners. Wow! What a Christmas!

Toy Story 2: Special Edition

 

[MarkHarrison]

It makes no difference to me. I buy the same things regardless of where the money comes from. The only time it would make a difference would be if it were a giftcard to a place with a very limited selection. But I'm having a hard time coming up with an example.

I went out last night with a list of about 30 titles. I found one of the titles on my list. In the process of looking, I found another title that I've never picked up at a price I couldn't refuse. But I would have eventually picked up both of them.

Typically I get gift cards to our local maga-mart (Fred Meyers for those in the Northwest). If they don't have what I want in their Home Electronics department, I use the card for groceries and spend the grocery money elsewhere.
