Do you watch new DVD's you buy immediately?

No, I usually pick up new releases on Tuesday morning as BB is on my way to work, but I usually won't watch them until the weekend. Combination of being busy with school work and having TV shows I like to watch Tues, Wed and Thursday nights.

NOPE! I watch movies I like in the theater and the ones that I really like or miss, I buy them on DVD. More then 70% of my collection is unopened. I buy them because they are there. This is a sickness and I need to get on the wagon!LOL!

No. I add new purchases to one of two lists depending on when I expect to get around to watching them:
Backlog - High Priority
Backlog - Low Priority
Backlog - High Priority
Backlog - Low Priority

Some cases I do, like HERO (region 0 from China) I saw the mailman deliver it. Went right in, opened it and viewed it. It took me 3 months to watch 'LAST SAMURAI' and I still have not opened 'SAVING PVT RYAN' and I've had it since it's release. It's mood and luck. I have about 30 DVDs in my collection that I have not seen at all. I consider 30 out of 1075 is pretty good. Note that I am not counting cheap collections like Horror 50 Pack because some of those I will never watch. I buy them for 'rainy-day' last resort.

Maybe having had as many as 90 unwatched titles at one point leaves me little room to talk, but I don't really think there's an excuse to have over 500 unwatched titles. That's almost twice as many titles as I've got in my entire collection.
How can you have so many unwatched titles? Even with a full-time job and a "life," there's no reason to have not watched that many DVDs. I know amazing specials have beefed up a lot of collections and makes it a bit hard to keep up, but at no point should things get so bad that you have a few hundred titles in your collection that have gone unwatched. Just my two cents.
