Title: How much is too much for a DVD box set?
Post by: jessica73 on August 02, 2004, 02:20:21 pm: How much would you be willing to pay for one of your favorite movie/TV/anime series' season/complete box set? I mean I have trouble parting with $50 or $100 for domestic stuff, and with imports it's even more expensive.. :? But what's the most you'd be willing to pay for a set?

For me: Per Season ala Buffy: $50-70
For a series: Depends on what it is. Anime $150~

This I think is the most expensive I've seen, the Godzilla Final Box, for 99,750 yen or $922. :| I would hope it didn't include that American version.

Amazon Asking Price: $27.99
Seriously, who would spend more than 5 cents on this garbage?

Post by: Vultch on August 02, 2004, 04:00:01 pm: the most I've paid is 99.99 for each season of Star Trek TNG&DS9. (Paramount bitches)

Millennium (Fox) was 45.99 which is much more reasonable.
Both Dark Angel(Fox) seasons were about the same.
X-Files is Fox too but they were something like $120 per if I remember correctly. I wasnt even tempted. If they were in the 45 range too I might have considered it.
Highlander goes for about 60-70 per but its from some obscure company.

The X-Files dvd's have gone down, they are still expensive as hell, but still.

Yay, more money gone when the Star Wars Trilogy is released.

Post by: BWilli on October 04, 2004, 09:53:14 am: haha....The Box Set is one of the main reasons I love Christmas/Birthdays :razz:

I got the Jurassic Park set as a gift as well as the Indiana Jones set

and I'll be asking for The Ultimate Oliver Stone Collection (15 films for $90) for Christmas :D

However....if I were to buy a set, it must be reasonably priced....

for example...The Omen Collection (4 films) is $40 bucks...ten bucks per film...thats worth it...

The Crow Collection of all three films is listed as $35 on Amazon, but I recall seeing it for $30 at Suncoast video store...I think I'd pay either for that collection...

now you look at Oliver Stone Collection of 90 bucks for 15 films...it's well work it...6 bucks per film...and it has some great films in it....I would just rather save my $90 and have someone else give it to me as a gift :D
