My ‘rule’ of not paying more than £9 for a DVD or £11 for a Blu-ray disc is paying off I think.
I have a similar rule. No more than €10 for a DVD and €13 for a Blu-ray. My general plan is to aim for 75% off SRP for DVDs and 60% off for BDs... though I'll accept 66% and 50% usually... of course I do make exceptions <ahem> My overall saving the last few years has been about 75% (though that includes getting presents for free) but has dropped off as, like SpikyCactus, I have most of the 'old DVDs' that I want and that have reached rock bottom prices and am now building up BDs which don't seem to drop in price as much or as fast... I have also discovered a penchant for limited edition Steelbooks which isn't doing my bank balance any good  | | | | It is dangerous to be right in matters where established men are wrong | | | | Last edited: by Voltaire53 |

I too have developed the steelbook fixation... which ruins your bank account and % saved data... I shall check back in hopefuly by sunday with my final year end numbers... sadly I still have not imputed all of last years titles in yet (combination of being busy and lazy) | | | | -JoN |
