I love it when someone comes along and makes me feel better about my own collecting habits.

Everyone knows DVD's are like a fine wine, they get better with age and are ruined once exposed to air.

And they go sky high in value. Oh, no they don't.

I just joined that web site and would love to know where the "collection manager" is so I can download it and catalouge all mine. While not Bob Black numbers, it is quite large in its own right!

I don't believe it is software. It is online only, like the link in my sig. On blu-ray.com, you can find it under the Community heading, and then on the left side link as My Collection.

Thanks! One day I will try and do one that includes ALL my regular, HD and Blu DVDs....some day!

that may be the single most bizarrely OCD habit i've yet seen here...and that's saying something. Why on earth do you need an extra sealed copy of everything? that just makes no sense.

I have like 48 blus, but no pictures

it's just like what comic book super-fans did in the early 90's - you buy one copy to read...one to bag...in the assumption they're actually going to increase in value.

hahaha

Definitely not. If we look at DVD as a similar product, there are very few titles that maintain their original selling price even months out. Why on earth anyone would buy a disc to leave it sealed in a package, knowing full well, with 10 years of experience behind us, that the chances of value appreciation are slim to none, is beyond me.

Big difference though, you can understand why the comic fan would shell out the measly $1.50 the comic cost back then, plus anyone could enjoy the comic he sells. These are out of region Blus the guy buys, so most can't watch them anyway, plus it is insane how much these things cost. It hurts my head, to reason why someone would be multiple copies of a movie, not even interested in the movie itself, but the dumb packaging that it's housed in.

ah....are they those stupid steelbooks? easily the single biggest joke perpetrated on weak minded dvd collectors...what else would compel someone to buy TWO copies of the Sex and the City movie on blu?

it really boggles the mind that someone could be convinced to pay twice as much AND buy two copies of a movie they'd never otherwise own or even watch simply because of the packaging. just bizarre.

I didn't realize how lousy this shot turned out until I transferred it, but I'm too lazy to go downstairs and do it again:

Wow, very nice...

Sweet sassafras, Adam. That's awesome.

Awesome looking collection Adam! I'm very impressed.

why do you only have one copy of everything? you don't actually watch them all do you?

Wow. And why do you only have steelbooks? Does packaging trump the film itself?

Nice to see the reds and blues coexisting peacefully!

Most of 'em look opened too. Why aren't those sealed, mister??!

it ALMOST makes me twitch to look at that

Tiny collection to counter all these massive ones. No steelbooks and no doubles, either.

It's a collector thing - same thing happens with video games. I personally don't succumb to the notion, but I'll cater to those that do.
Only difference is that there is a market for reselling sealed games , and not too much for movies (at least that i know of)
