my count is @ #547
i count things by movie. so if for instance cast-away has 2-discs i only count it as 1. as far as box sets go i again count by movies. for example: die hard set = 3 why should i count it as 1 and someone bought them seperately counts them as 3.

Well, I think I'm near 200, but including seasons sets (I have 5) and the entire Nightmare on Elm Street series, I have probably near 245-250, but if you go by double dics and not title, then near 300.
Does anyone feel guilty abit for how many we have? I am a college student and part-timer @ UPS, so I proud of this little collection. Everyone I know here in the Omaha/Papillion, NE region-I have the most. All my friends have under 40. If I pick more choosingly, I'll probably pick up nearly 40 more this year (yeah, right). On a plus side, I've seen everyone once, 85% twice to four times, and a few more than that-so I get my $ worth.

i like my collection because its small and has all the movies i like...i only buy movies i love. not like. i dont collect for collecting sake...i buy to enjoy the movie. thus nothing to feel guilty about.

btw, many parents are idiots and let 10 year olds watch re-runs. why do I see 12 year olds wearing old B&B t's....maybe it's a geographic sorta thing...

I have exactly 1700! Started when PlayStation 2 came out I believe 10/01.
This is how you should count:
Gladiator/Spider-man/Star Wars etc. equals 1 not 2.
Die Hard Boxset equals 3, not 6 and not 1, but 3.
But if the disc has it's own case then it counts, such as the Scream boxset that counts as 4 not 3 and not 1.
South Park/Simpsons/Sopranos, etc. counts as 1.
Monty Python Boxset counts as 14, mainly because you can buy them seperate.
