What's your DVD per month Average?
Total months since buying first player/disc divided by number of DVDs you own.
For me 172 DVDs divided by 73 months comes out to 2.36 DVDs a month. About what I expected when I thought up the idea of actually calculating it as it seems like I usually by a dvd or two a month with the occasionally clump of 5 or 6 here and there.

My average is between 3 and 4 a month. For the first year owning a DVD player, I didn't have more than about 5 titles. Since the turn of 2004, I've probably bought close to 100 titles however.

I average about 15-30 discs each month. I guess that's why they call it an addiction.

338 DVDs / 84 months (7 yrs) = 4 per month. although i've sold quite a few in that time as well. also, i buy in spurts. months will go by without any purchases then one day i'll place and order for 20+.

I bought my first DVD player in the fall of 2001, so we'll say 3.5 years ago or 42 months. Roughly 300 DVDs later, that's about seven or so a month.

228 / 45 months = 5 per month.
However, I purchased my first 100 in a 4 month span almost 4 years ago (after putting a surround system in our new house) and I've purchased the most recent 100 in the last 3 months (after building my HT room).
So, the graph actually is like this:
May 2001 - September 2001 : 25 per month
September 2001 - November 2004: 1/2 DVD per month ( .5)
November 2004 - February 2005: 33 per month

My viewing changes depending on what's going on in my life. Their are months where I've watched about 4-6 a month. Since having a baby I might watch a complete movie from start to finish about one every movie and the other times maybe two or three scenes every couple of days.

About 905 DVDs since June of 2002 so about 32 months. So about 28.28 a month 
Actually it's more cuz I got rid of about 200 of those over the years so more like 1100 in 32 months or about 34.38 a month

About 20 per month since Aug 2002. I'm putting the brakes on, though, until I save up enough for a projector set-up. I've been clean and sober now for almost 3 weeks!
