A Question About OOP titles... - DVDfile.com forum for DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD

Saberdance · 02-13-2002, 02:08 PM

Okay guys, I have a question that hopefully somebody might be able to help me with...does anyone know where a good site is to get information about DVDs that are possibly soon going out of print (like a schedule for when certain titles are supposed to be discontinued?)...There must be someone who keeps tabs on these things, and sometimes it really helps to know how much time you have left to get a certain release.

If anybody has any info for me, I'd be very greatful.

I don't think that there would be a site dedicated to limited release titles.

If a title is issued as limited (e.i. it states right on the cover that it is number XXXXX out of 30,000), then you should get the movie as soon as you can if it's important that you own it.

In cases such as Criterion, it is often announced that a title, or group of titles at a time will be discontinued (at least that has been the case in my experience). I don't check the criterion website too often, but I suspect that they post an announcement when they plan to stop making a title.

I say just buy the titles that you believe to be limited as soon as you can. I'm usually not one to say this but, it's often not a good idea to wait until the last minute.
