Season 8 on sale at Amazon for $20.00 (slim case)
WWW.Amazon.com is selling Stargate season 8 (I think) slimline case, for $20.00. Just thought some of y'all on my flist would be interested. (god knows I'm not) It might be season season 9, too.
The big fat cases are really cheap now, too. But don't throw 'em out yet!
Personally, I'm thinking of putting the fat cases in storage, buying some slim cases that can hold 2 DVDs, and make some covers and make some room in the shelves for more DVDs. And, of course, the covers will *not* feature Sam, and will have accurate descriptions on the backs.

And the whole thing still pisses me off. lol *g* The only time I've been more pissed about something like this is when Kodak lost a lawsuit I knew nothing about a month after I'd spent my entire savings of $40 to buy an instant camera to take pictures of my new baby (
I like your idea for making your own cases, but I'm too lazy to make case inserts for the DVDs I've recorded at home, so I have a gazillion home-recorded DVDs and all are unlabeled except for the Post-It notes I have stuck to the cases. *g*
Also, for me, part of having the DVDs is having them in their own special boxes and packaging. One of my friends just bought two big CD holders (like you'd carry with you in your car for CDs) and then threw away the cases! *g* I could never do that. To me the case and the box is almost as important as the DVD itself.

I have seasons 1-4 and 7 and 8. The latter ones I only got because they were on sale at the time. I have yet to watch any of them, so I think I'm going to sell them. If I do ever need an episode I don't own to do a Breadbox or just have a yet to rewatch, I can just rent it.

I live in a rural area, so renting at the corner store isn't much of an option. We do have a rental shop (and we have DVDs at the library), but neither have many TV shows on DVD, and that makes up a lot of my DVD viewing.
Back in the day I couldn't download anything either, but even now that I can if I want, I generally delete episodes as soon as they're out on DVD. If I want to rewatch, I'll rent or buy it. But I find I don't rewatch much, simply because there's so much "new" stuff out there I want to watch.

But...if I buy a set, it's also because I want to keep it and own it. I could never be content with renting most series, because I want to keep them here forever and ever. *g* There are some shows that I think I wouldn't mind renting, like Smallville, but if I end up liking it enough, I'll probably want to own the DVDs, and if I don't care, well then...I don't really care. *g*
When we watch DVDs, too, it often takes us months and months to go through a set. I sometimes go through an entire season in a matter of days or in just a couple of weeks, but then if it's something I think the whole family will like, we watch it together, one episode at a time, each of us taking turns watching shows. Sometimes I don't choose the same show all the time either, so it could take us months to get through one season. Sometimes I watch things with
I also like to have episodes around so that, yes, I can obsessively watch my favorites again and again if it's that kind of show, but also so that I can go back and check facts or watch a scene when I think something happened and maybe I'm wrong.
But Stargate...I bought those to watch, and now they are more of a collection to me. I've never watched the season 8 set. I never even finished watching the commentaries because I got sick of them and sick of the show at the same time.
I didn't get sick of it completely then, but it was around the time of the SuperCam! of season 9 and I didn't particularly care for that and it was also the time of knowing that Vala was going to be a full-time character and most probably on the team. It was all I could do to keep a semi-good outlook for the rest of season 9. *g*
But...as I've mentioned before, the OCD part of me needs a complete set or it's ruined. And I feel like I either have to replace my entire set or get rid of what I have. I currently have the SG-1 sets hidden behind other stuff so I don't have to see that incomplete set everyday. *g* But I know it's there.
I know it's not a serious problem in life, but it's like having someone picking away at a scab every single day. Why have that in my life? But I still can't decide what to do.
