My first DVD was a Christmas gift, the Collector's Edition of Fast Times at Ridgemont High received in 1999.  I didn't purchase my first player until Black Friday of 2000.

I'm in the 1000+ club now, but I never did open that first copy of FTARH (acquired the "Special Edition" last year).

I don't remember what my first dvd was, but I remember buying my first DVD player in December of 2000 for about $130. I took the money I got after selling my college textbooks back after graduation. I had enough money for the player and that's it.

Mine was 'The Matrix' in February 2000.

Incidently my first HD-DVD was The Matrix as well (startin'a tradition here  )

"The Matrix" in December '99

First Blu-ray was "Into the blue" just one and a half months ago.

My first was "The Matrix" and "Arlington Road" December 99. I ended up with around 150 DVDs before I got my first player. Now 1585 and still going strong.

Bought my first DVD player in October 1997 , it was the Sony 3000 model ( the 7000 was the more expensive model -playback DTS/5.1) ), ,but the 3000 model which does not play back DVDR, or any other type of Burnt CD's cost me in US dollars........... $699.00  !!!!!  ( kinda of like the first CD players on the market in 1980 were $999.. )

The first DVD's I purchased - 3 of them --Woodstock /Executive Decision/  and The Mask. all just under $30.00. ( these type titles today would sell for $9.99 )

Oh my most recent player (toshiba) , audio playback includes DTS and  plays back all formats including JPG's MPG's DVDR+ and - etc..  for $57.00

 

My 1st DVD was RoboCop Criterion edition. It was a Christmas gift from my brother (cannot remember the date, sometime in the late 90's, it has been awhile). I have never looked back.
