Just a question but when you have this many DVDs can it really be about the movies you enjoy or  just about how many you can add to your collection? I only have a little over 500 but there's plenty tv shows in there that drives up the number and I'm always giving some away do to the fact that they no longer are enjoyable to watch. Just an observation is all ... and I'm sure my collection would be around 750 if they had all the ones I want now in Blu-Ray instead of standard DVD.

I can't speak for everybody in these forum's, personally I still have a fair way to go to reach 5000, but out of the 1100 titles I own, I only have about 350-400 un-watched but then winter is coming up, no staying out late in the evenings sitting in the garden enjoying a glass or two of wine chatting with friends and family, dining alfresco. Will now be sitting indoors with said friends enjoying the wine and a DVD or two per evening.

And there's the collecting too.

Even though I'm watching DVD's nearly every day  (mostly TV series, I don't have cable or sat...) , I still have about 1.200 unwatched DVd's. 

My tagline should be: "My name is Thorsten and I'm DVD addicted!" 

Hi addicted DVD fellows!
I am back for a little statement on my collection. I stay now with 12.890 pieces. The reason is I sold around 600 titles from Warner in Snapper boxes. I hate those snappers and as I earlier mentioned I need space, so I decided with very hard feelings to sell them, by the way with some good profit too, as there were titles among them which were rare.

Now to the question how many I didnt see yet, I would say as I am big movie fan from childhood on I think there are around 25% of my collection I didnt see yet.

But I like collecting, I always collected things, I collected coins, stamps, music-cds (still around 2000 though I selling them too all the time, books, LPs, videos, gamesoftware oh my god what a bad buy nothing worth anymore and I got around 500 original games from MS-Dos times beginning) and now its the DVD. I think till now my most worthy collecting hobby, because its not only nice entertainment, but also very satisfying when watching the different packages and pictures of the DVDs and special editions are my favorites.

Ok it will be topped now with my new start of Blu-Ray. It all begins all again. But what an experience......

Blu-Ray DLP-beamer Infocus, Blu-Ray-player LG BD370 and Onkyo TX-SR875 THX Ultra-Surround 2 receiver gives an ultimate audio-video home experience for me erveryday.

So under the line for me...its worth all efforts....

My review copy of That Hamilton Woman just pushed me over the 6000+ level.  Yikes.  Prepare my meds. 

I am eating your dust now Gardi, and heading in opposite direction. Have sold / given away over 300 titles which were bought for my kids years ago (they now too old for titles), with still some more to go. So will probably end up back down to 5000 by year end.

They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again"

According to my collection numbers, I'm up to 6534 titles as of now (although I'm quite conservative when it comes to collection numbers, so it's not inflated by box sets etc.) I also have 400 laserdiscs, and a lot of VHS.

For years I've bought much more than I watch (and kept telling myself that someday there would not be much left of interest), and it doesn't seem to stop. It is a mania, but at least it's a fun one.

One more to the family.
