shamefully, i have 137 unopened of my 681 dvds. the last 2 semesters at school have been really busy, so I have gotten behind. I need to do some watching...

Don't you even test them to see if they are damaged?

Yakuza Bengoshi

I rarely open my DVDs until I'm actually ready to watch them, unless the package arrives with a floater DVD inside. Only once have I found that a DVD that I'd bought months earlier had problems. On the other hand, there's been several DVDs which I bought for which the DVD subsequently went OOP in R-1 and I then sold the R-1 sealed disc for a big profit and replaced the disc with a better quality import.

Here's my unwatched DVD list, most of which is still sealed:

0, I always open them...

PHMustang2000

I usually buy mine at curcuit city or walmart ; so when I get in the car I always open then to see what the inside looks like and the discs. ;Lately I have only been collecting shows and my most recent one is Dark Angel - Season 1, which is my first blind buy. I saw disc 1 through Netflix but that's all so I opened the Dark Angel package. I still haven't seen discs 2 - 6 yet. I have been busy lately, but I'll prob watch a couple eps today or tommorrow.

Dragonslayer

Of almost 1100, NONE!!!!!

garolo

Not a one is unopened. There are two that are unwatched (I just got them yesterday). The first thing I do is open them up. This way there can't be any buyer's remorse.
