You Just Might Have a DVD Problem if ...
When your six year old tells you that he/she prefers the full screen format to anamorphic widescreen format and you send her to bed … you just might have a DVD problem.
If your wife begged you (unsuccessfully) to see Moulin Rouge but you counted the days to the DVD release … you just might have a DVD problem.
If you feel the need to lie to even anonymous people on the Internet - downgrading the number of DVDs you really own … you just might have a DVD problem.
If you look forward to seeing the movie (the second time) on DVD more than seeing it the first time at the movies … you just might have a DVD problem.
If you bought a movie that you didn’t really like simply because you heard it had great bonus features … you might have a DVD problem.
If you started a thread on the Internet asking for when Fellowship Of The Rings is coming out on DVD and the movie wasn’t even out yet … you just might have a DVD problem.
If you are thinking about living on pet food just so you can purchase a region-free DVD player … you just might have a DVD problem.
If you bought Eisenstein - The Sound Years – and you don’t even know what The Sound Years are let alone who the heck Eisenstein was … you might have a DVD problem.
If you swing the conversation over to when the uncut edition of the Boondock Saints will be available in Region 1 with the additional two minutes like it is in Japan ….. at your son’s hockey game … you might have a DVD problem.
If you bought the special edition, collector’s edition, the ultimate edition (rated) and the ultimate edition (unrated) of American Pie and you didn’t even like the movie … you just might have a DVD problem.
If you purchased a used version of The 400 Blows for $400 on Ebay … just to fill out your Criterion Collection … when a perfectly good version by another distributor is available for $25 new … well you just might now understand what 400 Blows really means ..and you might just have a DVD problem.
If you wanted to deck some guy on the Internet for his opinion of snap cases versus keep cases … you might have a DVD problem.
If you bought two copies of The Beyond just because at $14.99 the special edition tin seemed like such a deal … well you just might have a DVD problem.
If you bought a round of drinks to celebrate the news that Willy Wonka would be coming out in widescreen after all … you just might have a DVD problem.
If you stay up late searching the latest DVD, pressing up, down, left, and right searching for “hidden” Easter eggs … you just might have a DVD problem.
If you enthusiastically responded to the question – your favorite five DVD menus from 2001 … you just might have a DVD problem.
If you’re posted so many posts on DVDTalk that you’ve been given the status “DVD Talk Evangelist” -- you might just have a DVD problem.
Guys, just for fun … hopefully we can laugh at ourselves a little bit …
With apologies to Jeff Foxworthy …

If your wife begged you (unsuccessfully) to see {insert movie here} but you counted the days to the DVD release … you just might have a DVD problem.
If you look forward to seeing the movie (the second time) on DVD more than seeing it the first time at the movies … you just might have a DVD problem.
If you bought a movie that you didn’t really like simply because you heard it had great bonus features … you might have a DVD problem.

I think I may have a DVD problem.
Whew, they say just admitting it is half the battle...
How about:
if you have trouble sleeping on Monday nights because you're so excited about the next day's releases...you may have a DVD problem.

If you're ever agonized over how to organize or display your DVDs... you just might have a DVD problem.
If you know exactly when your favorite unreleased DVD is coming out, but forget your the date of your anniversary... you just might have a DVD problem.
DVD problem bad!

If you have several hundred DVD movies in your collection and still can't find something you want to watch, you may have a DVD problem.

If you can extrapolate every date's day of the week for the next 6 months by using Tuesdays as a guide (ie "March 19 is a release date so March 21 must fall on a Thursday".)

You spend so much money on DVDs that your wife puts you on a monthly budget on November 15, and by January 9 you've already spent your budget through May 15 ... you just might have a DVD problem.

Some of the replies made me laugh and think ... I wish I had wrote that ....
Thought that I would include a few more:
If you put your DVDs into Case Logic binders just to fool your wife about just how many DVD you really have … you might have a DVD problem
If no one dares to check your DVD listing on DVD Affectionado because it takes so long to load … you just might have a DVD problem
If you’ve set DVDTalk as your home page … you just might have a DVD problem
