Lightbulb So what will become of your old DVD collection?

Like most of you, now that I have become a blu-blooded snob, I have little to no use for DVD. - Except for this fact.... I still own a DVD/VHS combo player and portable DVD player. I sold my one other DVD/VHS combo.

In the past, I actually burned my own movies I recorded from TV onto DVD. Those were my "back up travel discs" for the portable player. I didn't want to risk damaging my "good dvd's" in travel. Besides, if I get too sick to leave my room I might want something OTHER than TV to watch. DVD to the rescue, right? Maybe?

My ultimate goal has to be realistic and reasonable. I suppose I will always own at least SOME of my original DVD's for the portable player and maybe be handled by kids or careless adults. Others will be kept for lack of a blu-ray replacement.

But do I want to watch those movies now? Given a choice, no. But yes, I really do have some disdain for regular DVD now. I want blu-ray, and blu-ray only! It's odd gazing at my beloved collection and scorning them at the same time. Is this what divorce is like?

What are your plans?
