I rarely do, but couldn't resist the 3-disc Special Edition of Apocalypse Now. A true cinematic masterpiece.

Only a few. Have to say I'm not that bothered by special features.

The sound on Game of Thrones blu-ray is far, far superior to Sky.

The sound and light quality of GoT on Sky is AWFUL.

I only get surround sound with a dvd and not TV. Is it the way I am set up or is it how it is broadcast,?

Could be either, do you play through an AV amp ?

The only blu-rays I have watched are the hobbit the rest are still sitting there. I am severely pruning my DVDs at the moment and expect a 50% reduction in them. I will be keeping the kids ones though as they have been watched repeatedly.

I own a few, mostly TV show boxsets and blu-ray versions of my favourite films but I'm contemplating getting shot of them. It's just space taken up unnecessarily. But I do like having the physical copies.

I have none, only got a Blue Ray player last month. Might get one at some point but would have to be something special. (No, not Mr Tumble)

This. I've got (ahem) "quite a few" and (another ahem) "quite a few CDs". I do use digital/streaming for the convenience but nothing beats having the real thing, particularly when it comes to special editions/rarities. Big Pink Floyd fan so got a fair few related items from them, amongst other things...

Mrs Orange was out at a gig the other night, so after I'd finally got the nippers to sleep I stuck on Deadpool for a second viewing.

I like having physical copies of things, and I don't trust my ISP quite enough to provide a completely uninterrupted stream!

I have what I imagine are some rarities on DVD:

The Singing Ringing Tree
VR5
The Singing Detective
VNV Nation live
numrous Denis Potter
Space Patrol
The Inspevctor Alleyn Mysteries

etc etc that are unlikely to transfer to another format anytime soon.

Mind you - I can't remember the last time I watched any of it
