21+ ?? ... did you vote Gorshin?

i've put 6-10 because although sometimes i might have a lean month where i only buy 2 or 3 dvd's, other times i might end up buying 20 of the buggers, so i think 6-10 is a fair average estimate.

I try to limit myself to one or two a month. The library system in Berlin has a tremendous collection of DVDs, so I usually have three or four from the library (for two weeks).

I'm trying to save up some money for a plasma!!

Jesus who buys 21+? I usually stick to 2 or 3 depending on whats out, maybe more if I'm collecting a series at the time.

1-5 for me.
Used to go through a faze of buying lots of crap in the get 3 for £25 offers in hmv. I have cut right back now. Money is also a consideration, and there just dont seem to be more than 4/5 dvds a month I want to see.

Literally a couple for me, if that. I used to buy a lot of rubbish just to provide a bit of entertainment on a Friday or Saturday night. I now only try to buy keepers.

Used to buy loads back in the early days when replacing old VHS stuff, but now only a few a month typically 1 - 5. This is mainly because I can't find anything new worth buying!
