[Strong Bad]

I'm at 127.

My family knows me as Johnny Blockbuster. Anytime they want a movie, they drop bye for free rentals with no late fees. How can you beat that deal! I have my collection in an Excel spreadsheet that I update and email to them.

I'm such a freak!!!

[juice21]

i hear ya! got the excel spreadsheet too! also known as blockbloster, my dad, brother, couple of guys at work. don't think they've ever rented a DVD...:D

I have about 110. I thought about keeping them logged on a spread sheet, and then tried that online profiler or something. But you can't print stuff out like that, so I downloaded cover scans of all my DVDs from the e-tailers (DVDExpress & DVDEmpire are two that have great cover scans) and built a massive memory-hogging Word document with all the covers, like about 16 per page. Then I print it out whenever I update it (here at work on the big-time color printer, don't tell). I give it to friends who are always like, "What should we watch when I come over?" I now say: "Consult your list."

[juice21]

you can print with dvdprofiler, you just have to run a report and it opens a new window with all your dvd's, the info you want it to show in the report format you chose, and a print option...

[juice21]

i used the companys' color printer to print-out all the back issues of 'the speaker specialist', then had them velo-bound in the print department. man, do i love abusing employee privileges...:D

[Micah Cohen]

Shhhhhhhhh!

;)

[CHRIS]

236 so far, I can't imagine 400. I have problems now finding new ones with the exception of releases. I keep them according to genra then by actor and then alphabeticly.

[Micah Cohen]

That's another thing: how do you keep them?

I do the alphabetized thing. But I find that I need to keep the "series" separate: all the spaghetti westerns, the Woody Allen films, the Bond movies, music concerts, etc.

MC

[juice21]

alphabetical, disney has it's own section & the bond movies have their own section

[SPEAKER7]

I have 825 dvd's and counting.....................!!!!!!!!









just kidding....I'm only upto 90 and will be slowly accummulating from here on.....sorry no PORNoS.......the other half may decide to hit me over the head with a frying pan.


dc.

[goingganzo]

i have about 60 i have them by type and i too have a disney secton and a anime too i rember when i got my first cd it cost me more than my first dvd that is funny

[bkleinke]

Only 308 :( Must have more must have more!

I keep mine sorted by studio in two racks. And I use dvd profiler to keep track of them all, though I may set up my own Database on my website.

[juice21]

welcome to the forum bkleinke... :D

enjoy...:D

[trubluluc]

...and you call that modest?
I just went over the 30 mark,
guess that makes mine immodest.

-luc

[juice21]

yeah, i guess it is alot, it's just eveytime i see my friends collection with 130+ more than mine, it makes mine seem small.:( i guess it's all relative....

i wouldn't say your 30 is immodest, i don't know what it is, but i never bought VHS's like this, there is something addictive to buying DVD's...:D

[mark g. nelson]

I counted last night. 138 DVD, 73 laser disc - Still the only way to get DD for Star Wars 4-6.
I just seperate my DVD's by Studios.

[BrandonW]

i am at 318, and keep mine in a marantz 301 disc dvd changer. Soon to be adding another one and linking them together. Makes watching dvds easy. Can't think of one to watch, just spin the dial and hit play.

Anyone else had a problem finding racks big enough to hold 300? i got 3 differant racks holding them all...

Brandon

ps you all see how many b movies are now out on DVD??? They are coming out sooo quickly i can't possibly afford to keep up...

[juice21]

brandon, i've got a full rack and then dvd's on random shelves. i was thinking about getting one of those penguin racks that hold 360 DVD's, but even then, how long will that last me. boltz makes expandable ones, but they are pretty massive... the new kenwood soviergn entre unit looks cool, paired with a 400+3 DVD player, it knows what you have and where it is. feel like a comedy, sort by genre, wants to watch a ridley flick, sort by director, very cool indeed. it's like hardware with built in dvdprofiler...

[BrandonW]

Interesting! got a URL for that? know if its linkable with more units?

Musta missed that at CES this year...

Brandon

[juice21]

entre (http://www.kenwoodusa.com/product/product.jsp?productTypeId=147&sortBy=price&productId=2357)

[BrandonW]

Wow just checked it out on kenwoods site, although its kenwood, its looks pretty slick. up to 4 of the changers ROCK 1200 dvds!


Anyways thanks for teh headsup, gonna have to go check it out...

Brandon

[juice21]

yeah, it's kenwood, but the soviergn line looks pretty quality. i actually preordered a DVD showing off these components and it incorporated some THX trailers and other goodies! don't think you can sign up to get it anymore, cool disc for free, it was only available before these units were on the market...

promising for what the future has to offer...

[BrandonW]

Yep i signed up for it also, dunno if i will actually get it though...

you already have your copy??

Brandon

[juice21]

i've had it since october...

[johnnyamerika]

I think I'd fall into the immodest section as well, I only own about 50....lots of anime, action, drama, scifi and horror! I think if I get to the point of 300 I'd buy a CD book and throw out the cases. Who need all that plastic? I have two 200 books for my CDs, threw out all the cases. I don't know how much money I want to actually invest in DVDs...usually renting works for me! Rather put the cash back into the system!

john

[gidrah]

Finally all the way up to 34. So what if 7 of 'em are doubles and one is a rental. Actually 26.:(

[johnnyamerika]

gidrah: is Heavy Metal, perchance, in your collection?? ;)

[juice21]

7 doubles in 34? don't sell your previous ones to upgrade to the newer release? i currently only have one double, seven. i hate that first version flip disc POS...:mad:

[mhetman]

My collection in DVD's is up to about 188, with about 89 on my wish list. I also have about 84 LD with some duplicates as DVD's.

[Mark H.]

Somewhere just over 300 DVD's.

125 Laserdiscs

and a measly 450 VHS, although I don't buy them anymore :)



Many of the VHS and about 30 of the LD's have been replaced on DVD. My list of needed DVD's keeps getting longer...

[Eddie624]

I have got about 92 dvd's so far. Havent really bought any to replace my VHS tapes yet. Got about 100 VHS. Anyone want to buy and VHS tapes LOL. Sorry wrong forum i suppose.

[joe logston]

i got a pioneer elite dv-f07 thats been over flowled by 30 so i got about 330 dvds and over a 1000 cds i guess i love music & movies, you got the right forum eddie welcome to the forum

[mantis]

129 and counting DVD's
40 laserdisk's
157 Vhs
207 cd's
But who's counting, it never end's.

[danger boy]

I think i'm up to about 160 DVD's and around 200 CD's. When DVD's came out... i really slowed down buying CD's. The sound quality on CD's just isn't there and doesn't do much for me. 5.1 or more sound is where it's at. I now buy about 1 to 2 DVD's a week. give or take a handfull. ha ha.
On yeah.. other reason I slowed down on buying CD's.. i hardly listen to most of them.. yeah I have my favorite 20 or 30.. but other 175 i never listen to anymore. Think of every CD or DVD in terms of dollars.. and wow.. it boggles the mind how much one can spend on entertainment huh?

[hamzahsh]

I have 146 DVDs and the list goes on!

I love buying them!

[pensacola]

234 CD's and 19 movies on VCR tape.:mad:
Haven't taken the DVD/HT plunge yet.:rolleyes:

[nascarmann]

Well, it's the same as it has been for years. Looks like I'm the little peter on the block. A big 25 +or- 1 or 2! :o

[lax01]

37 DVDs at 1-2 a week for the next couple of months should provide for a very nice collection.

[woodyjacobs]

*sigh*

32

[lax01]

I am trying to buy one at least every week, that way I will have more than a thousand when I turn 25. J/k :)
