    havent had time to watch a dvd for a while but did squeeze in 12 rounds ( john cena) friday night. good action film similar to die hard with a baddie setting puzzles and tasks that needed solving.
    watch armagedon last night but that doesnt really count as wed seen it before.

    This past week I have bought New Moon, Public Enemy, Zombieland, Dumbo (on Blu-Ray and dvd), and Monsters Inc on Blu-Ray (I like to build up my Disney collection - and they were BOGOF). The others I bought for my family but i'll watch them myself.
    I keep meaning to stop buying anymore. It's a hard habit to break. :o

    I'm watching 'Harry Potter and the Half Bllod Prince', which would be great were it not for the fact that I've already watched it!

    I've never bought a DVD at a car boot for fear of them not working. £1/DVD is nothing, so I'd take the risk for that (they tend to be more expensive round here). Do you find that the majority of them are OK?

    we always look at the discs to check they arent scratched before buying and the only time ive had a problen with one not working was when i mistakenly got a region 1 disc that would work. (But that was my fault for not checking)

    i agree its such a low price to pay for them thats why we have so many DVDs:rotfl:
