Posts from The Ringo Kid in thread „DVD Extras“

Hi Jay, yep and I glad they take up so little space too. I know that all too well. I have to check all my DVD's that I loan out to my Nephew to see if they are in the cases and or in the correct cases.

Yep, some of my tapes deteriorated to the point that there is a whitish-filmlike crusty substance on the edges of some of the tapes. I had to chuck in the garbage over 30 of my tapes this year. I guess that's one way of trimming down the collection a bit

I bought my first several DVD's through Columbia House in 2001 (did not have a player until late 2003) and bought what my requirement was and then quit their club since I was not really saving any money buying through them. After that, I bought from Circuit City and Best Buy, till I discovered Deep Discount DVD.

I usually bought 2-3 at a time and now have probably 125 DVD's now and more coming next month. In Feb, I will at least get COMBAT Season 2, Mission 1 (because it has a 2 part episode with Richard Basehart in it), and also Titanic (1953) W/ Richard Basehart, Clifton Webb, Robert Wagner and Barbara Stanwyck.

As you can tell, i'm a big Richard Basehart fan as well.

Cheers as well--TRK.

PS, I have not heard that since I was last in Europe

I chose "the making of" as my favorite DVD extra. I like knowing how they did this or how they did that and where it was filmed etc.

I'm like Chester7777. The deterioration of tapes is one reason i'm going DVD all the way--or when possible. I have already weeded out all of my store bought tapes. Another reason to make the swith is that I can fit 3-4 DVD's into the space taken up by one tape. Also, if you have a tape collection as large as mine (somewhere over 500 VHS tapes) and then if you move to another location that its a pain in the neck to have to haul several VERY heavy boxes of VHS tapes when now with all the DVDs I have--I only have one large and one small box of DVD's to move.
