LeChuck · 01-31-2005, 02:46 AM

blakely614 · 01-31-2005, 04:19 AM

My out-of-pocket for 2005 so far:

Troy 5.40 (with $10 off coupon)
Friday Night Lights 2004 17.11
Sex and the City Season 6 Part 2 32.49

Grand Total $55.00

All my additional purchases have been made with a BB gift card.

mtcarmel00 · 01-31-2005, 07:04 AM

Are we counting purchases made with gift cards here? I've always wrestled with counting them as money spent or as gifts when it comes to my own spreadsheets.

panhead4life · 01-31-2005, 01:36 PM

$155 for me so far

aedavela · 01-31-2005, 03:05 PM

About $2 so far for Friday Night Lights. The rest of that purchase price along with Metallica: Some Kind of Monster were made with gift cards, reward certificates, and trade-in credit.

tomdkat · 01-31-2005, 03:07 PM

I saw a thread like this on Home Theater SPot once but it was the amount of money spent on Mitsubishi gear as a direct result of information obtained through the forum. So if someone got a question answered or got a recommendation on the forum that was the deciding factor in their buying Mits gear, they posted the dollar amount spent in that thread. I believe the dollar figure was around $700k the last time I checked back in 2003.

Thus far in 2005, I haven't bought any DVDs.

Peace...

As does the little lady.

Stay away from Jenna Escapades though. I thought it would be her having her way with other starlettes/friends, but it's all one chick in front of a camera garbage. The only sex on it is in the bonus features.

Yes, yes it is (

). Part 1 was better, more scenes.

limacharliewhiskey · 01-31-2005, 07:01 PM
