How many DVD's do you currently own?
 
Simple question.

How many DVD's do you currently own?

Not how many actual physical DVD's do you have, but how many Titles do you own on DVD.

Examples:
American Pie = 1
American Wedding Gift Set = 2 (1 for the movie, 1 for the Revealed disc)
Back to the Future Trilogy = 1 (3 Films, but in one case.
Universal Franchise Collections = 1
Lord of the Rings Extended Edition = 1
Superman Collection (Warner) = 4
Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 1 = 1
Alien Quadrilogy = 1

Basically, any titles that is in a box set and comes in it's own removeable case (Snapper/ Keep Case) is counted as 1 each. But if it's in one case or a DigiPack or similar package then it's counted as 1 regardless of how many discs/ movies are involved.

Don't include DVD's that are recorded on DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-RW, DVD-RAM are any other recordable formats.

Only include those that can be bought at any store, or on-line.

I don't own enough.

sataniko 04-27-04 01:40 PM

About 200.

mzupeman2 04-27-04 01:42 PM

Juuuuuuuuuuuust tipped the 500 mark.

Would have been more too but I decided to get rid of some DVD's that I didn't need anymore. Such as the scooby doo series individual discs, since now I have seasons 1 and 2 on dvd, and so on.

178 according to Guzzlefish. Should be 179 when I get my Classic Monsters Set from Amazon today.

EPKJ 04-27-04 02:03 PM

Right now, I am up to 737. I have so many more to buy. It never ends, luckily for me.

matome 04-27-04 02:08 PM

Around 1600 titles. Counting each individual disc, I have no idea, maybe 100-150 more.

Simpson Purist 04-27-04 02:20 PM

261 Titles

NaturalMystic79 04-27-04 02:26 PM

140 titles and growing!

Kinyo 04-27-04 02:31 PM

205 titles but I have 251 movies.

Doughboy 04-27-04 02:38 PM

I have around 545 DVDs, give or take. And for the record, I consider the BTTF Trilogy to be 3 separate DVDs since there are 3 movies included. Same goes for the Alien Quadrilogy being 4 DVDs.

asianxcore 04-27-04 02:42 PM

as of now, 133 and growing :)

LBCrazyFool 04-27-04 02:44 PM

about 360 right now, not sure how many counting each individual disc though...

Brian Shannon 04-27-04 02:47 PM

Never bothered to count them, I just buy them,watch them and keep them on a shelf.

fnordboy 04-27-04 02:56 PM

Just broke the 900 mark. 907 to be exact.

Quake1028 04-27-04 02:58 PM

520+ dvd's.

QuikSilver 04-27-04 02:59 PM

I have 102 dvds. For those of you with 500 or more, do you actually rewatch your dvds?

Austin54 04-27-04 03:16 PM

Around 5000.

Altimus Prime 04-27-04 03:27 PM

Wow. The fact that so many own 500 or more is just scary to me.

I can't imagine having that many DVDs. I really, really can't.

Must be an addiction.

P.S. And that's a good question above - at what point do you stop buying movies to watch movies, and start buying movies just to buy movies - which you may watch once, then never again.

Jaymole 04-27-04 03:29 PM

Austin54 makes me feel a little better about my habit.

nemein 04-27-04 03:31 PM

947 "cases" (since that's how I count) if you really want to know titles come over and count them yourself -ptth-

Considering a lot of us have been at it since 98 or 99 it's really not all that much when you think about it (< 2 DVDs a week will get you to the 500 mark, considering in the beginning there were a lot of freebies and other deals 2 DVDs a week was an easy thing to do ;)).

282 here.

It's not like all re-watching has to be done within a year or two. I fully plan on having my DVD's for a long time to come.

In line with this comment, I think the only fair way to measure your collection is to account for both the number of titles and how long you've been buying. I got my player in '99, and have a little over 600 titles. Not that it really matters. I buy the stuff I want to have in my library, and at times it's difficult to pass up really big bargains. But I don't like to have a lot of movies on my shelf that I haven't had a chance to watch yet.

EskimoJoe 04-27-04 03:50 PM

I don't like the way of counting. Maybe it is DVD-envy...
