In 2012, do most people still buy NEW DVD Releases from the store or online? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Today was the first time I purchased a New DVD release in about 6 years and back during that time I always went to Best Buy or Walmart or FYE. But now it seems like those stores don't carry TV shows on DVD anymore and you have to get them online. Atleast that seems to be the case in this TOILET BOWL they call Philadelphia.

So how many of you still buy DVD's out of the store? I was forced to buy online today

Most of the time I order them online. Sometimes I but form Best Buy or Target.

The choices at Walmart varies from store to store. I prefer buying online anyway.

I buy almost entirely online. I buy used whenever I can find them at a good bargain. I recently scored a season of Curb Your Enthusiasm for 6 cents plus postage. I had only seen clips and wanted to check out full episodes and at that price it was a no-brainer. I think somebody must have meant to put 6 dollars, LOL.

99% online. The odd chance I have of finding something worth while in a store here is.. minimal, always cheaper to buy it online.

Usually online, it just depends on who has the best bargains.

I order Different Strokes online today and selected one day shipping

Does anyone know if that will come through UPS?

Mostly Online. The lions share of what I purchase at B&M Stores such as Wally's occurs on "The National Day of Insanity" in November.

I am real slow to buy new releases. If I do get it when it first comes out it is usually online but it seems like lately I have been buying three and four year old DVDs cheap in the store.

That's what I was doing with All in the Family and then the entire set is released. I purchased seasons 1 to 5.

I have learned my lesson, I will not buy individual seasons of a tv show again. I will wait until the whole series is released.

I got 1-6 still haven't bought 7-9 not sure if I will anymore. I'm a little annoyed at it too.

The store FYE was selling the individual seasons of AITF for like $12.99 so I was able to get two season for under $30.00. So I jumped on that deal which explains why I got the individual seasons.
