Hence it is important that I have the finest quality of source (video/audio). What is the point of having a good hardware and inferior source?
    well u can get THE BEST QUALITY if u look at the right places even blu ray disc rips are available but obviously if u have the money its really mean of u 2 b a leecher
    I myself dream of buying original cd's of rock music when i have means to buy .

'Friends' and other TV serials are boxed sets - e.g., 10 boxed sets for each season of 'Friends' at $34 each.

    I started collecting from 1998 in earnest.
    Well I certainly respect someone who actually purchases Media in today's age of piracy.
    I have also downloaded a lot of stuff in the past, but have started to buy movie and audio CDs to support the artists since I started my job last year.
    It's still a small collection but hopefully will grow into something respectable

    PS: I have the extended versions of the LoTRs too

    I abhore downloads/rips. I admit that I have some downloads but I intend to convert them to actual purchases soon. My philosophy has nothing to do with piracy and all this s**t jazz. Anti-piracy supporters claim that when you buy genuine, this helps royalities being paid to the right people, our money going to the right people instead of the wrong people, etc., etc.

    Some of this is pure crap (mainly applicable for Hollywood DVDs).

    - When you buy genuine, you money does not get distributed amongst different sources such as artists, cimenatographers, backroom boys, studio, authors, producer, director, etc.
    - About 5% money goes into recovering the cost
    - About 15-25% money goes into royalties to whoever the studio has entered into agreement with. This is usually the main heros, producer/director, etc.
    - Backroom boys, junior artists, technicians, etc. get nothing from profits. They are paid salaried employees.
    - The rest of the whopping profit goes to the studio.

    So what is wrong with that? After all the studio put in the money for production. They have the right to earn every cent out of the investment. Well, my opinion is that:

    - they have already made the money out of ticket sales
    - they can easily reduce the price and sales will double
    - if Moser Baer can sell movies at Rs. 45~99/- anyone can

    So then why do I buy genuine?

    I buy genuine because:

    - I cannot compromise on quality. When a 8 GB DVD content is reduced to 700 MB, a lot of quality loss occurs. This is not evident on the PC but on a 102" screen, artifacts can be seen.
    - I go not get full surround sound
    - Most of all, I loose the menus, chapters, entry points, extra info, etc.

    it depands on the agreement that how much % the director or actor wants..........what shahrukh khan do is he always used to take loyalities of few places for his movies like dubai nd all so he can earn extra money......

    even i also wont compromise with quality but i found money as a big factor between me nd these DVD's so when after the releasing of every animation movies DVD i just buy its limited 2 Discs version for my collection.........

    nd the menus,chapters things can be get solved by some editing.........

    OK. No more piracy discussion please. Do what you want in private. But don't encourage piracy.

    I had to delete some posts (including my own) because of this.

    Hello guadian,
    Its great that you have this hobby. I would say you have to make it more serious. I meant you have to collect them as pieces of ART. Now I can see only few of your collection like Godfather, are considered great movies in Art world. So start looking for serious movies (Including great Hitchcock's) and check other languages also. Dont be brainwashed by Hollywood by their typical 1, 2, 3, 4,.....series.
    Remember, the art collection is not valued based on the purchase price. But the value of its essence.

    I often look at most acclaimed movies' list and buy them. My buying options are limited to only when I make a trip abroad.

    From Wikipedia
    Carry On (series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


    Carry On is a long-running series of low-budget British comedy films, directed by Gerald Thomas and produced by Peter Rogers. They are an energetic mix of parody, farce, slapstick and double entendres.

    Twenty-nine original films and one compilation film were made between 1958 and 1978 at Pinewood Studios, with an additional film made in 1992. The films relied on a repertoire of comedy actors which changed gradually over the years. The mainstays of the series were Kenneth Williams (26 films including the compilation "That's Carry On"), Joan Sims (24), Charles Hawtrey (23), Sid James (19), Kenneth Connor (17), Hattie Jacques (14), Bernard Bresslaw (14) and Barbara Windsor, (10 including the compilation "That's Carry On"). Comedy legend Frankie Howerd is also associated with the Carry Ons, but only appeared in two films (Doctor and Up The Jungle) and the 1969 Christmas TV special.

    The films' humour was in the British comic tradition of the music hall and seaside postcards. Many of them parodied more serious films - in the case of Carry On Cleo (1964), the Burton and Taylor film Cleopatra (1963).

    The mainstay of Carry On humour was innuendo and the sending-up of British institutions and customs, such as the National Health Service (Nurse, Doctor, Again Doctor, Matron), the monarchy (Henry), the Empire (Up the Khyber) and the trade unions (At Your Convenience) as well as the Hammer horror film (Screaming), camping (Camping), foreigners (Abroad), the seaside (Girls), and caravanning holidays (Behind) among others. Although the films were very often slated by the critics, they were popular.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]

    The series began with Carry On Sergeant (1958), about a group of recruits on National Service, and was sufficiently successful that others followed. A film had appeared the previous year under the title Carry On Admiral; although this was a comedy in a similar vein (with Joan Sims in the cast) it has no connection to the series. There was also an unrelated 1937 film Carry On London, starring future Carry On performer Eric Barker.

    The characters and comedy style of the Carry On film series later moved into shows in other media. There was a television series titled Carry On Laughing, and several Christmas specials. There were also three stage shows: Carry On London, Carry On Laughing and Wot a Carry On In Blackpool.
