Is your DVD collection piling up?

[TylerDurden]

Mine is. With all these combo packs I now have duplicate dvds of the ones I already own.

No more so than it already was. I still buy the occasional DVD release (mainly TV show stuff that isn't and likely won't be on Blu-Ray).

I don't really count combo packs since for the most part they don't take up more space on the shelf unless they come in the bigger cases like the 4-Disc 3D Disney packs. Most 1 to 3 disc cases are about the same size, so if a movie comes with a DVD copy, it really doesn't effect things at all. The amount of storage space being taken up is the same, so I don't really see how this would be considered "DVDs piling up" unless you are making it a point to take the DVD out of the BD case and store it separately... and if you are doing that, then you are just creating unnecessary problems for yourself.

I actually no longer have any store bought DVDs. I either have given away, or sold all of the ones that I replaced with blu-rays, and copied the rest to DVD-Rs that I keep in a big disc case.
If you have alot of DVDs that you have replaced with blu-ray, why not sell them, and put that money towards more blu-rays?

I'm keeping many dvd's because in some cases the dvd has a special feature that the blu-ray does not.

I sell all of my DVDs that come with BDs except for Animation/Family/Kids titles. They usually fetch a good price if they are still considered a new release. I sold the Sherlock Holmes and Clash of the Titans DVDs (discs only) for about $7 a piece about a month ago.

I have a box were I keep all the dvd that are being upgraded. Sometimes I give them to my nephew or my dad.

Really only through buying TV DVDs, such as Family Guy. I still occassionaly buy movies, but only if they're really cheap.

Unless they stop making them I'll keep buying them the prices are too good. I like my DVD's as much as may Blu-rays anyways. Especially here in the UK when a lot of TV stuff only gets released on DVD.

I've been meaning to go through my VHS stuff though, I got rid of The X Files which I'd recorded off TV a while back as I have the DVD's. I haven't recorded anything on tape in years but I have some fantastic films rotting away (my cat likes to pee on them). I know I'll never watch them but I have an attatchment to them and like an idiot I've recorded some home videos on the end of some tapes and not labelled them.

[jkwest]

size doesn't matter, jwb...

I have one of those large cd sleeve binders that holds 250 discs. Thats where I keep my DVDs even from the combo packs. It comes in handy when visiting relatives that have no BD players.

We've pretty much stopped buying DVDs, so our collection is no longer growing that much (it's at more or less around 600). We do buy the occasional DVD that's not available on BD (like Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations), but we pretty much stick to BDs whenever possible.

That said, I don't see our DVD collection going anywhere either, as the majority of our DVDs will probably not get upgraded to BD, unless it's an absolute favorite, is real eye candy or the DVD is flawed for whatever reason (usually a non-anamorphic release). Other than for those reasons, I just don't see the point, especially when they'll play on the same machine.

Just put about 100 into 5mm slim-line cases, freed up some space.

[iam1bearcat]

mine isn't. i've sold off pretty much all my DVD's to amazon.

only ones i still have are a few films yet to be released on blu and my seasons of Seinfeld, The X-Files, Dawson's Creek and The Big Bang Theory.

[DVDFreaker]

Yeah it is and since I am running out of space, I put the DVDs in the huge bins

[newginafets]

yep still piling up, many unwatched. i'm selling some of them.

keeping the ones with no blu ray release, or foreign.
