What kind of collector do I want to be? - Blu-ray Forum

I do not have any friends in real life that collect Blu Rays, so that's why I am curious to get your feedback and perhaps learn from your mistakes.

I got into collecting fairly recently when I decided to get out of gaming and instead of buying a PS5, I purchased a Panasonic 4K Blu Ray Player.

When I first started I was focused primarily on buying 4K discs to test out my new TV and player. I've been focusing primarily on new releases and sales.

I have purchased a few boutique blu rays, such as the Midsommer Director's Cut, Crash and Cinema Paradiso from Arrow Video, a Terrence Malick from Criterion and a few collections from various film makers. I really do love the love those companies put into films and the way they feel and look on display.

I've been consuming "Films At Home" and "Boutique Blu-Rays with Elliot Coen" on YouTube for inspiration and to get tips and tricks and reviews.

As I have gotten more and more addicted to buying movies, I have realized that I need to set myself some parameters so this hobby doesn't go out of hand.

What kind of limits do you guys apply to yourself? Any other tips for a newbie?
