Do you guys worry that when you purchase seasons of a currently airing tv show on dvd/blu-ray that one day there will be a box-set/complete collection version made available? especially since it will probably be cheaper than individually buying the seasons? Do you then get rid/sell your individual season dvds, just have both the individual seasons and the box set, or not bother getting the box set? Or do you just always wait to see if there will be a box set/wait for the show to finish airing before making any purchasing decisions?
Interesting question. I really love box sets, but don’t always buy them.
Two shows where I knew there would be a box set were
Mad Men &
The Sopranos. So what I did was not watch the final season of either of them & waited for the box set.
Yellowstone I’ve been buying the DVDs as it goes along. Don’t feel a desire for any potential box set.
Other box sets include
SATC &
The Shield. Came to both shows late & both had a box set so I bought the box set.
Gomorrah I’ve been buying the DVDs as I go along & can live without a box set even though I absolutely love this show.
I won’t buy 6 or 7 DVDs & then purchase the box set also. That would make no sense to me.
I don’t think a box set is necessarily cheaper than buying individual DVDs. Especially if the box set has loads of extras & maybe also a free gift. Some box sets comes in really nice boxes too where a lot of thought has been put into the project. (Pet peeve: sellers who claim they are selling a box set, but, actually, it’s just the DVDs all together in a box. Sometimes it’s not even all the DVDs, just the ones that are out at that time. Such a swindle.)
