Can you stick to a budget? The 2015 Budget Challenge!

I can see where you're coming from with that example, who wouldn't want to upgrade that Optimus, but aren't you just watching the same movie anyway?

Quality counts. :P

Seriously though, it was the worst cheap/easily accessible OP I could think of, and Blu-ray Disc kicks the absolute sh*t out of standard def.

Plus JB Hi-Fi have movies 1-3 on Blu-ray for only $39.19 right now (20% off).

Anyone really on a budget knows the "cheapest" way to get a copy of the movie

[BigTransformerTrev]

Why replace your Optimus Prime from Classics' The Ultimate Battle 2-pack with an MP-10? I mean, it's an Optimus Prime that transforms into a G1-style truck...

:P

I must admit that I watched the original animated movie on blu ray for the first time a couple of months back and I saw details that I had never spotted before in the few thousand times i've watched the flick (such as Optimus having an Autobot symbol on his steering wheel in truck mode). That said, I never really watch the live action films that often. I'd like to have the first two on blu ray but I think the missus was put off by how many toys Ive bought of late, plus we just reorganized the study and there is a whole shelf on TF DVD/BluRays including this lot:




It may be the fact that I have 4 different versions of the animated movie that gave her pause (reglaur, UK edition, Special Edition & blu ray). So budget wise I think she thought I could forego more

And to think, in the old days all I had was a VHS copy that I taped off Agros Cartoon Connection one morning

[Raider]

Short answer no, I cannot stick to a budget. I try to balance commonsense with how much trouble I would get in with the missus if she found out how much I spent.

First spend of the year is in - nabbed Duke Nukem 3D Megaton Edition for Vita. Eagle eyed readers will note that this wasn't on my considering list

I realised the 2 $7 3DS games i want... i already bought an eShop card earmarked for those.... last year! So, hail to the king baby!

I still wonder why so many people insist that DVD is good. Theres so much more detail in a Blu-ray, and it's not blurry. Every time I sell a DVD to someone at work I want to hit them over the head with it and say "go back and get the far superior Blu-ray".

You didn't pay for Duke did you? It's free this month on PlayStation Plus, thats how I got my copy yesterday.

[Skullcruncher]

No, but I need to. The dirt down each side of myself isn't going to concrete itself. Once I get paid this month I am going to form a budget and try and keep to it...until next pay day

Argg i know, i'm tempted every time i buy a game that's free on plus.... But i just hate subscriptions and the idea of not really owning stuff! When plus first came out i already had everything i wanted that was free too... One day maybe
