The slow Consumer spending season i(summer) is now over...

Posted by oscar (A) on September 25, 2007 at 15:38:04

And my sense of "Financial frugality" has improved and kept the primal urges to buy, buy, buy at bay ....

Except now the Holiday rush is getting cranked up. Just on the Blu-ray side I see major threats to the wallet's well-being (at $30/pop retail):

Underworld (Just picked up today)
Day after Tomorrow (yeah, it's a doubledip, but HD is like that sometimes)
Fantastic 4 (SS)
28 days later
28 weeks later
Robocop
AC/DC
2001
Clockwork Orange
Hostel 1&2
King of New York
David Gilmour
Spiderman 3
Oceans
I robot
Close Encounters
Die Harder, Die Harderer, etc...
Life of Brian
Independence Day
Mr & Mrs Smith
POTC 3 (...or maybe not)
Harry Potter 1-5
Blade Runner

that's the "short list" - I might have to pare it down a bit (or add to it). I don't usually buy movies this frequently but it's tempting now.

A lot of these are available on the HD DVD side as well, but dang if there aren't some HD-exclusive titles I might take a look at:

Transformers (but no lossless audio, big NO-NO)
Dreck 3 (hmmm, maybe not)
Bourne Ultimatum (no lossless, sigh)
Jack Ryan collection
Star Trek TOS ($200 - OUCH !)
Moody Blues
roy orbison
BattleStar Galactica
