Yes, me too!

I am so very excited whenever I have something on order, waiting to arrive UPS or regular mail.

Don't get me wrong, I still like and use the dvds, but the whole process starts over again, once I have something new on horizon
You have just described the classic symptoms of vidiocy. There is no cure.

Me too!!! It's like I am disapointed whenever I DON'T have something on it's way to me. I love the anticipation of looking in the mailbox to see if something is there.

It was once called "the thrill of the hunt".

I enjoy more looking and researching a workout. It's like trying to find the Holy Grail of workouts. What's "the perfect workout for me" is always changing and that is what makes it fun. I don't purchase very often, however. I've been sorely disappointed in the past if I impulse buy, open a workout, slap it in the player, and it doesn't live up to expectations. I feel like I've taken a match and lit my money on fire. After purchasing several stinker workouts, I've learned to research more and take my time when buying a workout. Very rarely do I do presales or buy workouts right after they've come out. There are a few instructors I'll do this for (Tracie Long, for example).

I used to be this way, but as a long time vidiot, I've gotten over it. Now I'm more interested in doing what I have and I don't have much time for viewing clips anymore. I still plan rotations however.

Researching & buying helps me stay interested in working out - that makes it okay for me even when I do buy a dud every now and then
