Since I am thinking about throwing my hat into the review ring, I've got a quick question. Is the Worth of a dvd based on some arbitrary figure or based on what you purchased the dvd at? I see a lot of dvd's with 5 stars but worth at or under $20. I don't see the connection between worth and overall?

It's always great to see new reviewers.

The figure I include is what I would have liked to pay for it, as some stores offer it for a lot more.

I think it all depends on your porn tastes and if you think a dvd is worth what you bought it for than that should be the amount.

I can't answer this without sniggering childishly, but basically you are right about "arbitrary value" because I don't always put a sensible price!

Being serious, my valuations are sometimes affected by having to pay over the odds for certain discs to make sure I get what I want. I also try to take into account the current US prices, which are generally lower. $20 price tags seem common.
Then there is the factor that there are sometimes REALLY good movies I'd be happy to pay more than the going rate for. But then there is the idea that ALL DVDs are too expensive right now anyway!

Just a few ideas.

Red, my advice is to list what you personally think the dvd is worth. I have never seen a title that I'd give 5 stars to but when I rate a dvd higher, it's value goes up. I take into consideration the current cost-sales at a given point of time impact the "value" as I perceive it-but for the most part, just list what YOU think it's worth. Like most of a review, it'll be a subjective thing and people who read your reviews will compensate after they get a feel for your value structure.

PS: Anyone who thinks my values are off should remember that the value is at the time of the review, not two years later...

I've never used the "worth" field in a review.
