DVDs

In line with the other thread on favourite movies.. Just wondering how many DVD fanatics we have here?


How many do you have?

I've got a few, but I have another friend who owns maybe 3!! He just rents them, never buys them.. I do both :D

Most recent count of my DVD collection was 110 movies. Well, probably more...because some of those are box sets. I'd guess about 120 or so total movies.

I'm probably cheating..but I have about 120...about 10 or so are my son's dvd's and about 20 of them are dvd-r copies. So originals including box sets about 90.

I did a quick count on mine and came up with 95 but almost within minutes of marking the 51-100 choice, I got online and ordered a half a dozen from Amazon based on movies that were mentioned in the other thread, so in a week or so, my vote will be wrong :)

I also have a hundred or so VHS tapes and, so far, have refused to duplicate most of them with DVDs but as the quality degrades on the tapes, I probably will be buying many of those again.

I have three: JFK, Evita, and Antitrust. Since I have a DVD player (yet) I don't buy many DVDs.

I doubt that I have spent more than $1500 or so on my DVD collection, but of course I don't plan to stop buying them any time soon. Home theater is a hobby of mine, so DVD purchases go along with the hobby. I have sunk plenty of money into my home theater setup, so why not buy the media to enjoy it? Of course, to finish off my setup I still need to get that High Def TV that I've been wanting for a long while.....guess I could have put the $1500 toward a down-payment on that. :D

As long as you are satisfied with where the money went I suppose it does not matter. I was just after I did the math. Wow thats a lot of money at full price!

Cool

I will be at 810 when I enter my newest aquisitions, picking up babylon season 3 this week and haven't logged Stargate Seasons 1,2,3. If I counted disks, due to multi-disk special editions and TV collections I can only imagine it must be over a 1000. A guy I work with was at 1200 about 6-7 months ago. I have become a huge fan of previewed, especially as Hollywood Video has lifetime gaurantee and right now 2/$20.
