| | Posted: | | | | Conan the Barbarian, in December of 2000. Unfortunately, I didn't find DVDPro until much later. I also bought my first DVD player at the same time.
That night, after seeing how awesome DVD was was, I ran out and bought about 20 more.

| | Posted: | | | | Mine were The Replacements and X-Men.
It was obviously after 2000, but I have no idea when exactly. I didn't keep record at that time. Actually, i didn't keep records until 2004! Which is when I started using DVDP. |

| | Posted: | | | | My first title was the Alien Legacy Collection. I bought it from Reel.com back on 6.1.1999. Paid $74.99
Back then you could get excellent deals from online vendors, and most times get the shipped and in your hands before street date. But alas, those days are gone. I can't remember the last time I pre-ordered something. |
