What is the longest you have endured not buying a single Blu-ray? - Blu-ray Forum

filmmusic · 07-28-2015, 09:33 PM

well, living a situation right now that is beyond my control where I can't buy any Bluray at all and is getting on my nerves, I was wondering what about you?

How long have you endured not buying a Bluray?

I'm in 1 month right now and still going....

StingingVelvet · 07-28-2015, 09:36 PM

I lived in rural Europe for two years (2012 and 2013) and didn't buy a single anything, other than food and clothes. It was actually kind of awesome, and a part of me wishes I never came back. You really don't miss blu-rays, video games and 60" TVs anymore after a month or so.

Couple of months

BDavis197 · 07-28-2015, 09:46 PM

I'm saving for a new car at the moment so hadn't purchased one in the last three weeks, which was the longest period of time since September 2014 when I started collecting. I caved in today and ordered 4 of the new Limited Edition Disney Pixar releases.

I've gone a month or two, probably many months at some point. It's not a need for me. I only buy what I will watch multiple times. I don't buy movies just because they are cheap(I used to do this). I go through spurts I guess, but I'm not a hardcore collector like most on this site, though there is nothing wrong with that either.

I haven't been able to hold out for more than two weeks for a quite a while now.

...it's tearing me apart.

Michael24 · 07-28-2015, 09:54 PM

Since keeping track of my collection here, it looks like my longest lulls have ranged between 2-4 months.

JC_20010 · 07-28-2015, 09:56 PM

6-8 months, didn't have substantial time to watch many films so my interest overall waned.

Right now. Haven't bought anything since Spirited Away on release day last month.

Shuwatch · 07-28-2015, 10:08 PM

3 years.

lilant2248 · 07-28-2015, 10:18 PM

About one month.

Supaclyde · 07-28-2015, 11:18 PM

I don't feel like sifting through my entire collection. But I'm guessing since I joined this site, it's probably less than a month.

Blu Jedi Master · 07-28-2015, 11:54 PM

It has been since Nov. 1 2014

My internet connection went down in a thunderstorm a few months ago, and I was not able to log on to Amazon.com to buy any Blu-rays.

That was the longest four minutes of my life.
