I'm still trying to figure out how you even walk with all those Wim Wenders dvds stuffed in your pockets.

i don't even have the time to watch all my dvds, how would i find time to count them?

Just after 4 posts too.

I just past the 400 mark. According to DVDAficionado at least. I still think there's something wrong with the way we count TV show sets.

The 5-keepcase/disc sets of Stargate SG-1 count as 1 title, while shows like Andromeda take 5 volumes of 2-discs each for a season, and therefore count as 5 titles.

The problem is that when TV show sets don't put as many episodes per disc as they could. If a disc in a TV set contain at least 4 or 5 one hour episodes, it should count as 1 title.

He is the same person I thought of when I saw this thread. In January he had 3,162. Here is his collection.

I'm jealous of all of you.

we don't, we just like to have them.

I'm at about 1030 now in less than 3 years of collecting. What can I say? I like collecting things.

Yeah, I'd say Austin has the most... even if some are duplicated, we're just talking numbers right?

pdjennings might have a larger verifiable collection but gutwrencher's collection has a high-coolness factor ... but I'll qualify that with the fact that I haven't really checked out pdjennings' list, so it might be cool too

why did the OP get banned?

He was a spammer....and they changed his name.

Where do you have room in NY to have that many dvds?? I have a little over 200 now and have a hard time finding space in my apt. and we have a better than avg sized one.

I have about 710 right now, but I maxed out around 750. I've started selling some of my bad blind buys on Half.com and some of the other things I'm just not interested in anymore. My target goal is getting down to around 500 titles.

I'm at 2800+ right now with a pile that still has to go into the db. (about 12-13% are titles I got to review...the rest I paid for.)

I have one huge bookcase that holds about 330 DVDs. ANother smaller bookcase that holds about 180.

I have 2 small separate DVD racks that hold my Box Sets & TV Sets. Then I have another big bookcase that holds my books, video games, and other miscellaneous stuff. My DVDs have moved into that area now and there's about 150-175 on there now.

The first 2 bookcases on next to each other near my balcony door. The other 3 racks aren't directly next to each other. They sort of form a "U" as I have one next to my sofa, then 2 against the wall near the window.

Gut has the type of collection I hope to have one day.

Unless he's changed his buying habits, he's gotten one of damn near everything that's been released in the last 3-4 years. Lotsa DVDs.

I have 550+. I remember a time when I couldn't possibly imagine owning 100 DVDs.

Getting close to the 500 mark. How many of you with thousands are comercial owners?

not many I would guess. I have 900+ but have sold about 300 hundred recently. I am not in any DVD related business.

Yeah, when he used to post in the "What are you getting..." threads, his list was always a lot larger than anyone else. He would consistently list 10-15 each week... and those were just new releases.

I'm at about 350 to 400 range. When I tell people they look at me like I'm crazy. I should show them this thread.LOL.

Right now I'm probably in the same range. But it's my wife who looks at me like I'm crazy.

No, I'm not!

About to crack the 1,000 mark any day now!

678 discs, 510 titles.

How do you all count season box sets? I count'em as 1 title as does most on-line sites do, but depending on how the studios package their season sets each disc should count someway.

For example, a full season box set counts as 1 title. Like the Andromeda Season box sets. The complete box sets of all 22 episodes count as 1 title. However, if you buy the individual volumes, it takes 5 volumes to complete the seasons. And these volumes count as 1 title each, so in that case, each season of Andromeda via individual volumes count as 5 titles.

Samething with the Farscape sets, whether it be the original release or the new Starburst Editions. (BTW, anybody ever figure out if there's any special features on them? ) The original release for Season 1 was 11 individual volumes. That 11 titles according to the on-line database sites. However with the full season set of those 11 discs, count as just 1 title. Now bring in the Starburst Editions and there's 3 volumes per season on just 6 discs.

All this is relevant in a way that if someone has a large collection of TV sets, their actual number of DVDs is not represented correctly. Now I'm not saying that we should count discs in multiple disc versions of movies, unless the documentaries on the extra discs are duplications of official shows like those on the Black Hawk Down Deluxe Edition.

Currently I have about 405 titles according to DVDAficionado, but if I were to recount them using a method of say for every 3-4 "hour-long" or 8 "half-hour" episodes to count as 1 DVD, then my collection would be at least 3 times larger if not more.

I ought to do this just for the fun of it to see exactly how many 2+ hours per disc of entertainment I have.
