| | Posted: | | | | I'm asking this out of pure curiousity, having just purchased El Orfanato (The Orphanage) 2 disc Limited Edition Steelbook with slip cover and exclusive art book from Spain for £29.95 ($58.78 / €37.71), £36.95 ($72.50 / €46.53) inc. postage. This is probably the most I've ever paid for a single film, but as a collector, I think it's worth it!  | | | DVD

| | Posted: | | | | That depends. I believe I've never paid more than 20€ for any movie DVD.
But I've paid 85€ per Star Trek TNG / DS9 season and 250€ for the Xena Complete Box (6 seasons). | | | Karsten

| | Posted: | | | | Since both of you listed packs that contain multiple DVDs, for me it is "Alien VS. Predator: The Ultimate Showdown DVD Collector's Set" @ $118.48. As for a single title it would be The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers Collectors DVD Gift Set $59.99. |

Mine would be: Brazil - The Criterion Collection - 58,85 € Runner ups are the Blade Runner Final Cut Limited and the 3 Giftsets of the LOTR-Triology all around 50€ If you include series the numbers would climb to even more shocking hights  cya, Mithi | | | | Mithi's little XSLT tinkering - the power of XML --- DVD-Profiler Mini-Wiki |

| | Posted: | | | | Series Set: Akte X (X-Files): Season 8 --- 119€ (Dezember 2004) The initial digipak-release in germany was quite rare and after having bought Season 1-7+9 as digipaks I couldn't stand the thought of having Season 8 as amaray-keepcase. So I checked every website I knew and drove to every shop in a 30km-radius until I found one last box.  Surprisingly my wife was quite understanding. No "are you crazy?"-talk most people around here would have heard.  Movie: Der Nebel (The Mist): 3-Disc Limited Collector's Edition --- 29,99€ (today) | | | | Last edited: by SpaceFreakMicha |

| | Posted: | | | | Paid 900 SEK for a second hand Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, because it was OOP and I had to have it. That's about $150 but then the Bush dollar is next to worthless these days...  | | | | First registered: February 15, 2002 | | | | Last edited: by Nexus the Sixth |

| | Posted: | | | | I paid over $100 AUD for my secondhand copy of The Best Of the Wonder Years. The most Ive paid for a boxset, is my Will and Grace boxset which I bought a couple of years ago in Harrods and then shipped it back to Australia, that including the shipping cost me well over $600 AUD.
I also paid quite a bit for my Snow White and the Seven Dwarves movie, but I cant remember exactly how much that was. | | | | Last edited: by jadedoz2007 |

| | Posted: | | | | Some may say I'm a bit crazy, but I spent somewhere in the low 6 figures for an extremely rare print of La Fin Absolue du Monde. It's a one of a kind film and few have seen it.
I have open screenings in my home theatre to all who wish to view it. Just let me know... | | | "Rules are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men" - Douglas Bader

However, it is likely that the others who listed films came with more than just the film. If this is not the case let me know and I will audit my picks. |

| | Posted: | | | | For a new dvd about 150$ for Blood, The Last Vampire Collector's Box Japan many years ago... for a used DVD I paid more than 100$ for Army of Darkness.
Nowadays I don't like paying more than 10$ for a new dvd and just consider paying more for a Blu-ray (but I refuse to pay 75$ for a new anime BD like Wolf Brigade...what a rip-off!!). |

| | Posted: | | | | Umm, back when I used to buy stuff on release, instead of waiting, because I didn't have so many DVDs waiting to be watched  I spent £66.99 on season 1 of Star Trek: Next Gen. Even more mad to me is £31.73 for a half-season of Xena:WP when full price was £34.99! Latter seasons I didn't pay much more than a tenner... I spent 53.58 euros for a set of Fistful of Dollars/Few Dollars More in a wooden box with some goodies as a present for my wife but that was worth it as they are the best versions of the movies too. I think my Doctor Who sets cost more but they were presents so I didn't pay out for them  | | | | It is dangerous to be right in matters where established men are wrong |

| | Posted: | | | | Single movie: Evil Dead: The Book of the Dead edition - 59.25€ (92$ at the current rate), but this was back in 2002 when DVD's where much more expensive, and it was in a shop who imported US releases, so all taxes were included.
TV Series: Buffy The Vampire Slayer Season Two - 139€ (216$ at the current rate). This was a UK import bought (in the same shop as Evil Dead) in 2001. For that price, you can now purchase the complete series I believe.
I'm so happy those prices are gone now. | | | View my collection at http://www.chriskepolis.be/home/dvd.htm

| | Posted: | | | | Single Movie: La Reine Margot € 72,- ($ 111.50 @ current rate)
Box-Set: Star Trek Shuttle Box (all 10 movies) € 119,- ($ 184,- @ current rate) | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?
