Alright, I guess I'll add my $0.02...

I basically agree with you Krusty, as far as the fact that I don't buy any
*movie* on DVD.  I either rent it to check it out, or get them as gifts.

Now, box sets on the other hand, I'm more inclined to buy.  The only ones I
have though are the Aqua Teen Vol. 1 set ($30), the Flair DVD set ($35) and the
first Family Guy set ($35).  I just think it's cool to have that kind of stuff
just lying around, so whenever I'm bored (and that's a lot), I can pop in an
episode/match/whatever that I love, or that I haven't seen in a while.  I also
have Monty Python and the Holy Grail that I got as a gift, and the Life of
Brian that I borrowed from a friend (that I still haven't watched all the way
through...it proves your argument).

I'll probably buy Kill Bill when it comes out on DVD because it rules so much. 
Besides that, I don't see the need to buy them myself.

So...there you go.
