Any Blu-ray Collectors?

I've got a fairly extensive Blu-ray collection that I'm pretty proud of,about 145 movies, and my DVD collection which is mostly movies and a few shows but that's roughly like 300.That's not counting my smaller PS1, PS2, PS3, Gamecube, and Nintendo DS collection, which aren't anywhere near as large. Currently I'm DYING for Blu-ray releases of James Cameron classics like True Lies, The Abyss and Titanic (although I'm sure that'll only be out after the theatrical 3D release). Any other collectors? If so, how big is your collection? What movies are you waiting for or are most happy to own?

I own four Blu-Rays (not counting PS3 games of course).

i own like over 20 blu-rays (mainly because my FYE was closing down and got a lot of blu-rays from their closing sale)

I own two blu-ray movies. I have a larg stockpile of dvd though.

Yeah, I have between 40 and 50 blu ray films. I don't buy DVDs anymore, if something is available on BD, I will buy it on BD over DVD

yeah just comparing a music cd from them to Best Buy, they charged $20 for most cd's while Best Buy charged around or less than $10

I have 158 right now including TV shows and box sets and close to 70 Criterions.spazzx625

I think I've got 12 or 13 Blu rays. But over 435 DVD's last time I counted. My TV is 32" 720p; maybe if I get a 50" 1080p this summer I'll get more into Blu rays.

It's a bit different for something like FYE vs Best Buy. FYE dedicated stores like FYE are kinda have to charge a little higher as that's pretty much their only product more or less. Best Buy, on the other hand, uses cheap CDs as a bait to lure the customer in to the store in the hopes that they'll shop around and spend more money (maybe you'll even buy a new stereo to play your new CD on). With that said FYE were still seriously overpriced and deserved the fate that befell them.

I've got like fifteen films on blu ray I think. There's a couple films I have on DVD that I would like to get on blu ray, but I don't know if I can double dip just yet.

Someone who isn't so snobby that they can enjoy a film without seeing the pores on the main character's face?

Wanting to experience something in the best quality you can = being a snob?

Blu-rays have gotten REALLY cheap and affordable in the past year. Newly released will run you around $25, and some with a digital copy around $40, but I always look for deals, i NEVER purchase new movies for anything over $20. I typically buy from sales at Target or Best Buy, or used on Amazon. Surprisingly DVD's can still be somewhat expensive, even though not only is the quality significantly lower, but now with these new recycable boxes, you get a flimspy piece of plastic to hold it in, and NO inserts whatsoever. i remember back like 5 to 7 years ago virtually ALL DVD's used to at least bring a chapter selection insert. Disney movies typically bring a tonof inserts, as well as special editions.

BD players aren't cheap but they aren't crazy expensive anymore either. You can get a good one for about $80. Even on a 32" HDtv, it still looks gorgeous.

I own 19 last time I counted. I'll buy Blu-rays over DVD's now if I have the option, but I'm not going to double dip if I already have it on DVD.

I'm a huge Blu-Ray collector with hundreds of titles in my possession.

But what I like to do is take Blu-ray disks, extract the .BDMV files, and encode them with h.264 to make the Blu-ray disk a file on my computer.

That way I can:

1. Digitize my collection to save space, as my apartment has no room for storing Blu-ray disks.

2. Ensure that the disks will never get scratched / lost / broken.

3. Make new disks if I want to.

Too expensive.

I spent at least $1700 building my home theater and I frequently watch movies to justify having one lol. Building a collection would just be too expensive. (plus it's messy when you have a lot.)Netflix rentals: $15 a month for 2 discs at a time is just too conveinent.

That's why I like to digitize mine.

Having a virtual library is much, much more convenient then having hundreds / thousands of disks lying around.

It's also much easier to organize.

no im not going to spend 20-25$ on a damn dvd

We have over a 100 blu-rays at our house,but I've started my own small collection.I've only got 11 :P.

I have :

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe

DOA: Dead or Alive

Final Fantasy VII Advent Children Complete

Marley and Me - 3-Disc Bad Dog Edition(which also includes the DVD and Digital Copy)

Mean Girls

Open Season

Resident Evil Degeneration

The Strangers

Transformers

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse

At last count when I was adding to my film collection spreadsheet (before Christmas) I was over 650 Blu-Rays. And I own every Criterion release on Blu-Ray...pre-order soon as they're announced, & Amazon ships the day they're released. Very eagerly awaiting La Haine in May.

I don't own a single Blu Ray movie.

Unless you count Metal Gear Solid 4 in the past.

DVD Profiler says 368. There's probably 10 or so I haven't added yet.

Latest purchase was The Conversation with Gene Hackman.

I dont even think I own one.

Some figure in the 30's. I've stopped buying them so often since getting Netflix
