Just been addding a few more DVDs to my DVD Profiler and it got me thinking, I finished uni in 2002 with around 60-70 DVDs and now Im up to 360, 300 DVDs or so in 5 years.  Not many compared to some, a guy at work has, at his best guess about, 2000 which is rather a lot.

Heres my DVD Profiler http://www.intervocative.com/dvdcollection.aspx/russellcram

So how many DVDs have people got?  And lets see other peoples DVD Profilers/Collections.

*Points gun at sdp, pulls trigger *BANG*, problem solved*

VHS are just horrible, I had around 150 and I gave them all to a local charity shop, they take up soo much space compared to DVD, look and sound crap and only get worse over time.  Go buy more DVDs, you know you want to, erm well unless of course you dont watch fims/tv much of course then itd be a bit of a waste lol

I dont see the point in owning DVDs when I can rent them as needed. :mrgreen:

I have tended to buy box sets of TV series lately which can be a sod for space.

My first dvd I ever bought was the 2 disc Matrix special edition before I even had a dedicated DVD player(used my PS2).

The entire DVD Profiler 3 seems rather odd, Ive stuck with 2.4 for now after reading of the problems on the DVD forums.

Ah forgot Series 2 so its 9 lol thanks for bringing it to my attention.

But yeh the old Stargate sets are stupidly over packaged with 6 amray's per box so take up loads of space.

Though in the US they are reissuing them in slim lines though I wont be forking out again if the do it over here.

There was a rumour going round that theyd do a trade in scheme, trade in your old one and get the new slim ones, but that seems to have been quashed.

Just went and bought 2 DVDs and Alias S4 tonight, whoops.

I have a mate who is a film freak. He replaced his 8,000 title VHS library with DVDs (And is still doing so), so I guess hes f**ked again with the new formats LOL

Me, I buy hard disks if you catch my drift.

Ouch 8000 VHS To DVD then 8000 DVDs to HD/Blu Ray, must be one rich guy, hmm well poor guy now probably lol.

I keep the local DVDR retailers in business too myself  ;)

Mark

hes literally an idiot. He spends 80% of his salary on DVDs

Smugs

I doubt I will replace many of my DVDs with their Blu Ray/HD counterparts, though maybe some of the TV series box sets as an entire 24 episode series on one disc does sound appealing and good for space.
