How many DVDs do you own?

Hi,

How many DVDs do you own? Do you still collect DVDs? In my opinion there is nothing like owning the real thing.

So you get the reels from the production crew, or the cinema?

:pac:

Yeah I still buy DVDs. I've loads.

qwertyabcd · 08-05-2014 04:43PM

my sister buys them and I watch them, think she has about 1700 at this stage

The One Doctor · 08-05-2014 04:45PM

Maybe 10. Haven't used them since the advent of downloading whatever I want whenever I want. I don't really like watching movies/series anyway. Watched the first episode of Breaking Bad and just said 'Meh'.

D1stant · 08-05-2014 04:48PM

No DVDs, CDs, walkmans, crossbows or flints.

maximoose · 08-05-2014 04:49PM

Zero.

Had around 250 which I sold about 4 years ago.

I own 2 Blu-Rays, don't really plan on adding more to that colossal collection.

Captain Chaos · 08-05-2014 04:50PM

Just stream what I want when I want. Think I only bought about 10 DVDs and Blurays ever. Never bought a CD in my life.

e_e · 08-05-2014 04:50PM

Few hundred.

Legs.Eleven · 08-05-2014 04:51PM

8

anncoates · 08-05-2014 04:53PM

About 10 maybe. Stuff I've got as gifts. Not really big into films.

keith16 · 08-05-2014 04:54PM

Zero. In fact, I got rid of a whole load yesterday. I went on a mad de-clutter spree. It was cathartic.

Peregrine · 08-05-2014 04:54PM

Two or three.

How many have I bought in the past 5 years? Zero.

It took me a year after buying my laptop to find out that the eject button was broken. Even then, I was trying to install a software, not watch a movie or listen to music.

dee_mc · 08-05-2014 04:55PM

Probably about 50, most of which I've seen once and will never watch again, a few of which are still in their plastic wrapping and likely to remain so unless I ever do my back in or something

Mr. CooL ICE · 08-05-2014 04:56PM

7. Boxsets that were presents of shows I had already seen. I was given The Inbetweeners a few weeks after I finished watching it on 4OD

Davarus Walrus · 08-05-2014 04:58PM

I inherited one.

Carol Vorderman: Kick Start Detox and Exercise Plan DVD

BearBanjer · 08-05-2014 05:03PM

A handful. Down from just under 300.

Took up too much space and what with downloading, iTunes and Netflix I just sold them. Didn't see the point in keeping them.

I see why some would still collect them alright.

Movies and TV today are lot disposable what with various means and technologies.

gazzer · 08-05-2014 05:11PM

Between myself and my partner we have roughly 1500 DVD's. Have about 80 Blu Rays. Keep meaning to bring a load of them to a car boot sale and make some money.

Have about 800 video tapes as well

Its about 4 years since either of us bought a DVD. I stream and download now.

samwhite449 · 08-05-2014 05:14PM

About 1500-2000 and in mint condition im abit of a collector freak as that is only one of mt collections

Cupcake_Crisis · 08-05-2014 05:14PM

I'd say about 25, mainly box sets.

No Pants · 08-05-2014 05:23PM

I gave most of mine to the local library. I have a few left, mostly recorded gigs, some bike racing, a Boston Legal boxset, plus a boxset of Godzilla episodes and Ulysses 31 as a nostalgic salute to my childhood. Stuff that isn't easily downloaded.

Coincidentally, I stuck in one of the BL DVDs earlier and it made me sit through the "You wouldn't steal a car" ad and I couldn't bypass it. Reminded me why I don't buy DVDs anymore. :mad:

shamrock55 · 08-05-2014 05:30PM

About 150, all perfect, if anyone is interested you can have them for 1euro each

MonstaMash · 08-05-2014 05:31PM

None...ripped & converted my whole collection to MP4 & donated all of them to a charity shop.

meoklmrk91 · 08-05-2014 05:34PM

I've never counted but I would say somewhere in the region of 100-200. I used to love collecting them, last time I bought on was about 2 years ago at a car boot sale, when I look them now I just see stuff collecting dust and taking up space, I bought a fair few seasons of family guy back in my teens, I've stopped watching it since, watched them all once and spent a fair few bob on them, now they are on Netflix. The other night I wanted to watch a movie I have in my DVD collection, I just put it on Netflix instead. I am beginning to feel about media how I feel about paper, I hate paper bills, I hate junk mail because its just something else I either have to find a place for or get rid of and it's just a hassle. I probably will hold onto what I have but can't see myself ever buying a DVD/BluRay again.

Adamantium · 08-05-2014 06:17PM

I've a box of dvd's and blu rays and I want to hold on to them for my kids to watch if I ever do have kids. Then i think,

...will they even give a damn about it some old stuff when they're watching their holographic versions of the Star Wars Trilogy

Links234 · 08-05-2014 06:19PM

Too many

Thinking of selling off a few, but I don't know yet. They don't take up all that much room anyway.

Irish Guitarist · 08-05-2014 06:29PM

I think I must have about 300.

About half of them are concerts or music documentaries and are worth keeping.

The rest are mainly films which I've only watched once or not at all. I bought loads of them in Xtra-Vision when they were on special offer. It cost about the same amount of money to buy them as it would have cost to rent them out for a couple of nights.

The best ones are To Kill A Mockingbird and the box sets of Back To The Future and the Superman quadrilogy. Most of the others aren't exactly classics. For instance I don't know what possessed me to buy 50 First Dates apart from the fact it was only a couple of euro.

A few years ago I discovered the room I had left my DVDs in had a damp patch. Some of my best ones were destroyed. The one that pissed me off the most was The Concert For Bangladesh. The DVDs themselves were still playable but the cardboard cover was completely destroyed.

Naydy · 08-05-2014 06:29PM

About 50-60. Mostly Disney films, anime, stand-up comedy and boxsets of Supernatural, Game of Thrones and Archer.
