How long did it take you to get to 50 blu-rays? - Blu-ray Forum

jj5206 · 08-07-2008, 08:48 PM

I'm only at 15 but i was wondering how long it took you guys to get to 50 blu-rays? I got 15 in 3 months.

kpkelley · 08-07-2008, 08:51 PM

2 months, maybe 3 at the most. I'm upwards of 175 now, lost count some time ago.

Sky_Captain · 08-07-2008, 08:55 PM

Three months, maybe four.

tacoreed · 08-07-2008, 08:57 PM

At the rate I'm going, it will take me roughly 10 years.

I buy about 10x more Blu-rays than you do, it will take me just over a year I think. Maybe 18 months.

Actually, in 10 years download will probably be the norm at that point anyway...

I was at 50 blu-rays fairly quickly , the feeling of participating in a "Format War" made me very competitive, once WB delivered the finishing blow, I sort of slowed down how much I have been buying. But I do still buy My fair share.

Try this free website to keep track of your Blu-rays:

http://www.dvdspot.com/

It's great to have this available.

It probable took me about 8 or 9 months to reach 50. That was MUCH quicker than would have been the case in the absence of the "format war". When the PS3s first came out, they were very hard to find. A "community" of folks looking for PS3s quickly formed at Amazon.com in the discussion forum for the 60GB PS3. I was in the market for a PS3 for my son with the thought that I'd use it occasionally to watch a Blu-ray movie. However so many HD-DVD "fan boys" came into the site to basically attempt to torment us. Their attempts to torment were unsuccessful. The most they achieved was to annoy the hell out of us. And their continued attacks had the unintended consequence of motivating MANY folks such as me to become much bigger consumers of Blu-ray products than we might have otherwise. If some of these "fanboys" were in fact paid by the HD-DVD folks to spread FUD, it was a major blunder.

It took me just over a year to get over 120. Started my collection last year when i was on Holiday in Houston. Came back with over 20 blu-rays so it might have taken me a few months to get to 50. should be closing in on 150 by years end.

gem_n_webz · 08-09-2008, 06:27 PM

it took me a month to get 75. i went a little crazy...

clownface · 08-09-2008, 07:11 PM

I took me about 9-10 months. I average about 2-3 per month.

Excalibur-king · 08-07-2008, 09:12 PM

Like 6 months, the thing is i started when i bought launch PS3 in 2006 and they werent that many Blu-ray available so it took longer to getm ore then 50, now with all the tittles available it shouldnt take more then 2-3 months.

Mr. J · 08-07-2008, 09:24 PM

i started collecting in January '08 (that's when i got my ps3) and now i'm at around 80 blu-ray's! i love 'em!

I too started in Jan '08 it took me less than 2 months to get to 50 and I am at 180 now, with about 50+ more that I want/will get by years end.

Nielsb90 · 08-31-2008, 06:30 PM

I only have 16, and 5 on their way.. Think im gonna speed it up, but here in Denmark EVERY title costs $50!! I saw Vacancy in a store for $65!!! WTF? Too much, so I order online form UK where I can get em for about $20.. Thats dirt cheap!!

ADRiiAN` · 08-31-2008, 06:49 PM

I've got 19 and 2 on the way!
It'll take me forever to get 50 Blus.

quexos · 08-07-2008, 09:24 PM

I suppose that mathematically speaking I should say "infinity" since I don't have 50 blurays yet

But on a more down-to-earth estimate and considering my criteria for acquiring Blurays, I shall say: couple years maybe
