Waiting is sometimes a good thing
I'm not the most patient person as most people will tell you (I blame this on my dad), although with time I like to think that I have gained some. When it comes to DVD's the only thing I'm willing to wait for is for the price to come down, why? Cause I'm a cheapskate and I'm not paying £22 for Spiderman 2, when I know that in about 6 months its going to be in the 3 for £20 section. So the price wait is well worth my time, cause that film isnt going anywhere, its just getting cheaper.
My other reason for waiting is when a film is released without any special/bonus features. When DVD's first came out there were a whole bunch of films released on single discs, no cool deleted scenes, alternate endings, directors commentary, making's of and various other bits that we all love.
The Batman movies were one of these such films. Special features included subtitles in 15 languages! Yeah like thats a special feature, what the hell do I want read batman in Norsk for?
But now, after years of restraining myself (not that difficult when the discs are so bland) WB is goin to release 'Batman: The Motion Picture Anthology 1989-1997' on 18 October 2005. Its the first 4 Batman films loaded with extra features. This thing is packed to the brim (if DVD's had brims) with Music videos, makings of, costume and set designs and directors commentary. But now the question arises: Do I wait for the price to drop after I've waited so long for the special feature versions?
