Spinoff90's DVD Pick Of The Week

Spinoff360

If you read the video game one then I am doing this one the opposite of how I did that. With DVDs it is easier to say the week before since chances are you have seen the movie, show, wrestling event etc. Where with games I am doing it based on the week before with games that are out since before that you just judge it on what you read, saw or played in a demo.

Like the video game one feel free to add your pick of the week to this.

Enough talk and onto the pick......

In most weeks this will usually end up being my favorite movie or show but this week it actually isn't my favorite movie or show of the week. So why would I pick this? Well it might not be my favorite in terms of the movie but this is just a great set. A ton of extra features and I am a whore for extra stuff like all the replicas of stuff this set has. For people that don't care about the content on the third disc and all the replica stuff but love the movie there is also the cheaper two-disc set.

**NOTE** And if you are curious what would have been my choice if this set wasn't so good. It would be 3rd Rock From The Sun Season 2. Love the show and for the most part this week is pretty poor for DVD releases with a lot of crap like House of Wax, Herbie Fully Loaded etc. I am sure the Titanic DVD will probably be pretty popular but I am not a huge fan of that :lick:

Sounds like an awesome release.

Reps to you brother for the great thread.

I look forward to reading more.

I'm not a big fan of The Wizard of Oz, but this sounds like a really good DVD set. I might pick this up for my mother since she really loves this movie.

Visit and shop for video games at my Amazon-based store, also get discounted HD DVDs while they last.

My mom wants it too. I work at Best Buy so she is forcing me to pick it up on tuesday

Update: I will be trying to find DVD caps of DVDs for these threads or if I can't find any hopefully add my own. In this case like the last couple of posts I will end up buying it for my mom as a Christmas present so I wouldn't have been able to take caps but I did find some. Then it will sit around for a year unwatched like the Gone With The Wind set I bought her last year :lick: For her the two-disc or even the older DVD would be fine though so it is kind of going to be for me to with all the extra stuff :laugh11:

So here are....


Not a huge upgrade in picture but it really didn't need it. Colors are a little more vibrant now with the contrast and brightness adjusted a little better :happy:
