How Many DVDs you own, big leagues of collecting?

I know some people have their collections on their signature but i want to know exactly know many DVDtalkers are in the same league as I am meaning have already passed the 1,000 mark. I'm I a minority or a majority here? Feels like I'm in the big leagues but who knows...

So I currently own 1,174 titles including all formats and TV shows

I have a couple thousand, but at the end of October, I plan on selling off or giving away a large portion of my collection and changing my buying habits drastically.

I have ~2,424 titles in all formats (VHS & DVD, not interested in making the switch to HD right now). Another 10 or so on the DVR that I plan to record to DVD-R one of these days...

I have over a thousand DVDs, probably over 2000 by now, although I haven't stopped to count in quite a few years. I have many more VHS tapes.

I stopped counting long ago, but I'd guess I have somewhere around 2000 by now.

This

..plus/minus duplicates, 50/100 film collection sets not included in my spreadsheet/DVDaf catalog, DVDs I don't care for any longer, DVDrs ..etc. The process of keeping up has wavered over time.

Could be more, but around 500 TV seasons and 3000 films if I had to guess.

Re: How Many DVDs you own, big leagues of collecting?

Currently 398 of my favorite movies and TV shows, but I count each season of each TV series as 1. If I were to count each disc in each season I'd probably have well over 500 (probably closer to 600). For example, my Stargate (SG-1/Atlantis) series consists of 15 seasons and 2 movies so if I were to count each disc I'd have to add 61 just for this series. I chose to count them this way however, I wasn't trying to pad my numbers, really didn't care about that. -kd5-

According to DVDAf: 2555. And I'm actually trying to get that # down. I've ditched a good 100 or so in the last month.
