Thread spawned from the fact that I just did a mild reorganization/unpacking of my DVDs, and decided to count them. Eyeballing, I thought it'd be 400, but alas, it was only 393. I'll probably be at 400 sooner than later, though! :)

So how many do you have? My only rules really were counting TV seasons as just "1", and obviously not counting bonus discs in box sets and such.

Considering I only purchase movies with a 3x a year minimum rewatch value I am extremely selective of what I own. I have about 100 dvds, and yes, watch them all around 2-3x a year.

Question: Are you counting only DVD movies, or are you counting television series, stand up acts,music DVDs and the like?

I have really fallen behind in keeping stock of my DVD library. I believe the last count, about 4 years ago when I was moving in with new roommates was edging on 200.
I haven't really bought that much more since then, and I've actually set about 30 aside because I realized I never watch them anymore. Might as well sell them.

But this thread serves as a reminder to get my DVDs reorganized.

Man, I used to buy a ton of them but over the last few years with netflix and such I stopped. It just suddenly stopped being important. I only buy a few a year now but I estimate I probably own around 150 DVDs and maybe 15 BR's.

Probably in the 20-39 range. I just don't watch most of them and have lost a bunch in my many moves over the past couple years.

Netflix has really killed how many movies I buy, thankfully, but on occasion one will come that I just gotta have.

However, years ago I used to buy them often, and haven't watched many of them in years. I've likely got 150+ and Dream probably has 100+.

Little over 200 DVDs, about 40 Blu-Ray, I tend to buy if it's a good addition to my collection. At least I have watched them all, though many only once. Netflix and the public library allowed me to slow down my purchasing, and being overseas has pretty much stopped all purchases, since I wouldn't be home to watch them (costs too much to import them). I figure when I settle back at home, I'll clean the collection by half and either sell on ebay, donate to the public library (or kids movies to schools/hospitals), or give them away in some amusing fashion.

I am at around 250 american movies, 50 or 60 unique tv series, and 583 unique anime tv series and movies for something like 1500 dvds...I think, i need to run my cataloging software again to get a firm number.

Same Netflix-inspired slowdown as Espy and Escushion, but I'd guestimate around 120 DVDs, 20 Blu-Rays, and 10 movies/TV-shows on iTunes.

A little shy of 300. Like Espy I've slowed down over the last couple of years, but I still pick up a few every year. My only rule is that it has to be something I would want to watch over and over. I often put old favorites on in the background when I'm doing something, like preparing for work.

I was unpacking / looking for something completely unrelated to movies, and I found another few bags full of DVDs! I didn't count, but I'm well over 400 now.

My personal collection, I'm counting 9. Count in the family/house collection, and maybe around 30 or so. Count in all the old VHS's and probably closer to 100, but haven't had a functioning VHS player in years.

I counted when I got home last night. Not counting the ones I set aside to hopefully sell off, I have 167 movies, 207 DVDs total. I also realized when you organize alphabetically, you get weird combinations like The Godfather and a Goofy Movie together.

I have no idea. Netflix is killing my dvd purchases though, especially with tv shows on instant stream. I know I have at least 5, I just bought all of Stargate Atlantis the other day.

I have 93 DVDs (counting this as 1), and one Blu-ray (The Rocky Horror Picture Show).

the better question is how do us who have to convert them to dvd because the title is either OOP or NIP on dvd. I am converting my folks entire collection that cant be repurchased on dvd to digital one tape at a time using a vcr-usb rig that plays them at 1x speed for good transfer.

Blu-Rays? around 50+

The same way it feels to realize you wasted all that money on 400+ DVDs that are now obsolete.

Or how does it feel to live in 1998?

I think thats a little harsh, technology is judged by the most readily available format. yes the world of D2D has arrived, but at the same time there is a large segment of NORTH AMERICA that still doesn't have high-speed internet, and wont for quite awhile to come.

EDIT/Clarification: I use NA as an example because, Personally I think of all the relatives and friends all over just this continent I have that wont be going to the next step for sometime. wither due to location or simple cost. I am saying its what VHS was to a lot of people when we had things like laserdisc(OH GOD)

Personally I always felt that buying a DVD for a film you wouldn't watch at least 2x a year was a waste of money. Then again, that's just a personal opinion on why I don't buy more.
