How often do you update your DVD lists?

For some, it's a ritual; others do it once in a while. Since I buy with varying frequency, I pretty much do it when the mood strikes me.

I always add them to my Tracker and Aficionado lists as soon as I buy them. For me, it's part of the whole wonderful DVD buying experience, along with opening them up and putting them on the shelf. Oh, and of course, watching them.

Only after I watch them and make the decision to keep or to sell. I guess that would be weekly.

I usually will update my list on Friday but sometimes if I'm in the mood I'll add them as I get them.

Right after I get them. Since I also file them right away on my shelves if I don't catalog it, I may totally forget to add them.

As soon as I get them, usually. Otherwise I'd probably forget which one's need to be added.

I almost always have DVD Profiler open. I always add DVD's as soon as I get them, and many time have already added them to my wish list.

I used to update the profile and scan in cover images immediately as well, but I let that lax and now they've stacked up in that sense. I am getting that number down though.

I usually do it right after I get my DVDs, but lately it's been about once every 3 weeks or so.

When a new DVD is announced that I want to buy,
When I order one,
When a new DVD comes into the house,
When one goes out on loan,
When new info comes out on a DVD in my database,

Man - am I sick

Once I get a stack of 10 or so to add... So could be once a week, twice a weekend, or every couple of months.

Profiler is not letting me update at all -- says my database is too old and it will not let me get a new one. So I now have to use Guzzle and dvdaf.

I update them when I get them, never before (so never when I order them).

I even have an order I always follow. First I put them in Profiler (my favorite), then export to excel, then copy/paste into Aficionado (which is quite simple however many I have), then enter them in Guzzlefish (which is more of a pain, but I do like all the stats)
