Ah Circuit City.. I miss those days. DIVX was interesting. I was so excited about finally being able to visit Fry’s as my local store when I moved to California last year but they closed too. Ugh..

For me... First DVD was Reservoir Dogs (US release) that I swapped for... I can't remember. First purchase was the The Fugitive (PAL French) because the rather new FNAC.fr website made a mistake and listed the DVD at the price of the VHS I didn't have a DVD Player yet at the time. Julien

Well the first DVDs I got were the ones that came with the player, Charlie's Angels and What Women Want, I always keep thinking there was a third but I can't remember what it was. Maybe I'm thinking of Brian DePalma's Scarface which was the first DVD I actually bought myself. Or maybe it was that weird UK DVD of Halloween 2 that was cut and pan & scan but also had PCM audio. Anyway, those were definitely the first ones I got, I just can't remember the order. I also remember my parents advising against me buying Robocop 2 on VHS before christmas that year, I only found out then it was because they'd gotten me a DVD player that christmas.

I can still remember very clearly what my first DVD was - Basic Instinct ! I bought it in 1999. It was one of those early German PAL DVDs that only had German audio on them. Picture quality was rather poor but it was nonetheless a huge upgrade over any VHS tape that I had seen up until that point. Btw I still have that very disc in my collection and it still plays without any problems at all. I just checked

GUNDAM WING vol.1, back in those heady days of the early-2000's, when BANDAI was initially attempting to push the GUNDAM franchise in the U.S. and a fairly lowly PANASONIC player (i forget the model)
less than a decade later, i owned several shelves of Anime DVDs alone, and the 1998 PIONEER DV-09 to spin them on.

Reason: pics removed as the topic is on the first DVD purchased, not current player |
