If there is a regular edition and a Special Edition, even of a movie I’ve never wanted to see I somehow end up getting the SE.

My DVD collection was over 250 titles last time I checked, not including TV show boxed sets.

This works out about the same as not having a TV but having a portable DVD player, probably, as movie theaters aren’t good enough any more, and regular TV (except for The Daily Show) doesn’t cut it either. We promise your kids wouldn’t be spoiled by it if you visited. Extra super (hyper) promise. C’mon.

And, um, I’m not telling how many DVDs we own. But then we’re very good capitalist pigs, we are. We’ve got lots of stuff (even a few smallish plastic toys).

in our world it is all about the small plastic blow up pools of liquid serenity…my teenager however lives to get one of those tiny dvd players.

That’s how tribal traditions are lost.
Native: What’s that?
Visitor: We call it “radio.”
Native: Hmm…
And suddenly no one remembers how to do that dance their grandparents used to do.

We don’t have television, but these damned PCs all come with DVD players, and there’s a place that rents DVDs within walking distance. In fact, they give DVDs away with magazines here. (Do they do that everywhere? I’ve only ever lived here since DVDs came out.)
