... with buying literally hundreds at a time? I am not being judgemental here, but rather, bewildered by what it is all about. Lots of postings deal with DVDs and posters talk of buying up in Bali to the extent of 150 or more. Even at round $2 Aus per DVD that's a total of around $300 Aus. Do people buy 150 films or what? I'm curious because I cannot see myself buying more than a handful of recent film titles, even if the price is only $2, because how many times would I be likely to want to see them again? For me it's not like music and CDs, where favourites are played over and over again. Then again, it's just occurred to me that posters who talk of 150 DVDs are perhaps talking mainly of music and not film. Please enlighten me.
