DVD buys (and Blu-Ray wishes)…
EzyDVD’s “$1 Million clearance sale” was typically lacklustre. Everything good had already disappeared or was never there in the first place, bought online by the clever and the quick. The remainder of titles weren’t the best deals about - in fact, I picked up Serenity $4 cheaper at Big W.
Big W once again took my business, picking up Serenity for a measly $8.83 on special. You really can’t complain about the price of DVD’s out here, they are practically giving them away. I popped up to Myer and by chance, I collected a title I’d been after for quite some time now. $10.
Commando.
Yup. The Arnie classic. “I eat green berets for breakfast”. “Let off some steam Bennett”.
Ahh, the lines are as clear as day in my mind. I’ve not watched this one in many years, but I’m highly looking forward to watching it on something other than a worn out VHS. Awesome.
Tonight I went out with the intention of coming home with a few new Blu-Ray’s. Unfortunately though, there was no real incentive as the titles and ranges were pretty much the same as the last time I went in there. I don’t know what it is with Australia (or the companies releasing them) that gives us a poor selection of Blu films. OVer at High-Def Digest and even the Blu section of the PS3Forums, I’m constantly subjected to the US release reviews of Sunshine.. Cars.. Ratatouille.. or Troy etc.. only to check the release schedule here to find its not for 3 months. Or even worse, not even on the map at all!
Right now, I have a list of 17 films I’m waiting to purchase. The earliest of which is at the end of this month (and that’s if the date holds. I’ve lost count the number of times Troy has been put back/disappeared off the release schedule) and most aren’t even on the Oz release platform, despite being out weeks or months overseas.
I guess this ridiculous format ‘war’ stuffs everything up. The sooner its over, the better. Ah well, back to waiting.
In the meantime, I’m off to watch Commando. Action film making at its finest.

You should have started buying stuff off the website when I sent you that link
So cool that you’ve got Serenity!! 
You watched it yet? 
I’ve never seen Commando before, must be one of the only Arnie films I’ve never seen! :O Wonder why?!
It any good?
Not fair that you’ve only got 17 left to get from your list!
I’ve got far to many to get, always increasing with all the new realises that I can’t quite afford to get when they’re first out!! 
Waiting on that Lottery win when I can get all the films I want on DVD and have a super cool collection! 
Shouldn’t you be saving your money anyway?
For things like your Camera and your car?!
