Un-opened Dvds in Your Collection
How many un-opened dvds do you have in your collection ? I have about 50 or so, mostly $5.88 dvds from the WM bin.

I usually open them right away. I had a unopened RoboCop: CC, I was waiting for eBay prices to go up and unload it. Unfortunatly my brother found it when I was away and decided to watch it. Oh well...

When I do buy new, I usually don't open them until I'm ready to watch them. That way if I need to unload them for any unforseen financial hardship I should get a little more money for a sealed copy on ebay.

I should have ordered it online, but I foolishly thought I'd be able to find it locally. Of course, I couldn't
so I wound up ordering it from Overstock.com.As for unopened DVDs, I don't have any. I open them when I get them, even if I don't watch them right away. I probably have about 10 or so I haven't watched.

The R2 Amicus box set due on 11/24 will contain The House That Dripped Blood. It will have added trailers and a commentary track. I bought the Lions Gate version just for the Max Rosenberg featurette.

I open them as soon as I get them to check for defective discs and scratches during shipping. As the person in the above post mentioned, i'd hate to open up a DVD a year after pruchase to find it defective.

I always open mine to make sure it's complete, and to look at the inserts and disc art. I have about four now that I haven't watched yet. But I'll probably hit two of them this week.

I usually open online / mail order purchases immediately upon receipt, but sometimes store (B&M) bought discs get put onto the shelf without being opened... I did however recently wait a week or so on opening a new two disc criterion from the recent DVDEmpire sale only to learn that disc one was missing... got a prepaid return label... hope they get another one in stock as I really want the movie.

None are unopened. I don't understand any reason for buying movies without the intent to watch them in the immediate future unless you're buying with an intent to sell it later for big money.

I have around 65-100 I think that are unopened. I suppose I should open them to see if they are defective, but I'm lazy.
