i dont post much on killoggs but this is a fairly common/appropriate topic round these parts so here you go. today i very suddenly became consumed with the notion of owning any and every DVD i could think of that i wanted. usually i buy 2 or 3 DVDs at a time when it occurs to me that i want something and i leave it at that, putting everything else i coudl think of on a (killoggs!) list (note to self: make another post polling killoggs members for all their lists. i love the lists feature! i have become utterly dependent on it). anyway, i never could justify spending more money than that at one time on DVDs, which, incidentally, are really the only superfluous material consumables i regularly spend money on. most of my money goes towards general merryment and food and living. i dont really accrue "stuff" anymore. except movies still.
so today was a lazy sunday and i spent all day brainstorming DVDs i wanted, jumping off from my existing killoggs list. i went to deepdiscountdvd.com first, comparing every find iwth amazon.com and building two shopping carts. amazon was used for the rare cheaper-than-dddvd.com find or items that dddvd.comm didnt have at all. THEN when i was getting close to finalizing my purchases, i got yet another email from the relentless columbiahouse, begging me to rejoin. i indulged my curiosity and started searching for items on my list adn i filled up their queue of 6 free no shipping DVDs in no time. so fuck, i just knocked 6 of the more expensive items out of my amazon and dddvd shopping carts, and then i submitted them all in sequence
here's the final list. discuss!

christian [email] said at 11:16 AM 09-19-2005: of course you do! when i was previewing my post i was thinking of people who are on the dvd collecting tip and i thought of you and i switched it to this
brandonA [email] said at 11:32 AM 09-19-2005: bingo - an alternative to that (or a nice compliment) is lots and lots of hard drive space + a Divx/xvid encoder. Movies I really like or that need to be high-quality get burned, others get encoded.
christian [email] said at 11:33 AM 09-19-2005: i really hate mailing stuff and i'd be too lazy to keep up with it. my roommate has netflix and we never use it. i think he might evne have a dvd burner
josh [email] said at 11:40 AM 09-19-2005: friends that work at the used CD/DVD store and sell you stuff for the same $ they give people for trade-ins ALSO = mega saved cash.
unfortunately, my friends all quit, that's why i got netflix again
