How has Blu-Ray changed your DVD collection?

[Blu_Ray_UK2007]

At it's best my DVD collection was at around 500.
I've bought and sold alot.

But since BR, im slowly weeding out any DVDs I have that have been released on BR.
I'll no doubt put them in a job lot on eBay.

How has it changed your dvd collection?

You mean the 300 plus dust collectors sitting in my closet

I am finding it very difficult to got back to SD after Blu-ray.

It's changing it for the same way for me when I moved from Laserdisc to DVD. I had nearly 300 LD's... and to think of the money I spent on that Offloading most of those was tough.

It is very hard to go back to SD once you have BD. I have a few BD's, but will be buying many more in the next month or so because of the great titles coming up. And ultimately, it's encouraging me to hold back from buying the SD versions of some new titles where the BD isn't available yet as it will be at some point in the future and is simply worth waiting for

luckily, i have both the sammy and ps3. i can at least upconvert my titles for now (still not as good though... obviously)

[Banjo]

The last 2 SD titles I bought was Dr. Who and the Daleks, Doctor Who: The Second Series. My DVD collection is also starting to shrink as my BD collection is growing.

Now I already have over 50 BD titles. Yowch.

Right now, I have at least 1,300 DVD titles.

I have all the Doctor Who BBC DVD’s. I figure since this stuff was shot in 4:3 it may never be released on BLU-RAY. Perhaps after 5 years down the road when there might be several thousands of BLU-RAY titles then we might start seeing old standard definition 4:3 NTSC and PAL format TV series on BLU-RAY. BLU-RAY with 50GB discs encoded using MPEG-4 or VC-1 could fit many hours of standard definition quality stuff on it.

It would be nice to get each of the old seasons of Doctor Who on it's own season length disc, which would be entirely possible.

And if no-one has checked it out before, check out the "Doctor Who Restoration Team" website, the guys who handle the production chores on the old Doctor Who releases. There are some great articles up on there and they do some damn good work:

I stopped buying DVD and sold most of them way back in July 2006. I have slightly over 120 DVDs and my sig shows my BD count.

Yeah The Doctor Who DVD's are great.Looking forward to the box set that is coming out on DVD in June-The box set will contain Tom Bakers last 2 Doctor Who storys and Peter Davisons first Doctor Who story,great stuff!

In the past, like 8 years ago, I would often buy nice DVDs and boxsets. But for the last 8 years or so I haven't bought any DVDs, due to the ease of obtaining the movies by other means...

But now with full HD, it seems like Bluray buying is the only way to go about it, so now I am buying a disc almost every week now.

[Blu-ray San]

My DVD collection hit 150 movies max but since I bought my PS3 in December, it's gone down to about 30-40 DVDs as I purposely replaced every single DVD with it's blu-ray version.

I'm at 17 blu-ray movies so far (pretty picky with movies) and planning on buying 20+ in the next 2 months.

So to answer your question, Blu-ray has done nothing but good to my DVD collection

Blu-Ray has killed my disc acquisition in general... Unless it's on BluRay.

I've been working on transitioning movies over to BD as they come out, but obviously, most of the ones I have aren't out on BD yet.

Still haven't figured out what I'm doing with my old copies of Stargate and Aeon Flux though. But given that I think I still have my LaserDisc copy of Stargate somewhere, I'll prolly sit on them too :P.

I have found that I'm buying more titles than I did on DVD.

[Blu_Ray_UK2007]

I have just sold over 60 DVDs this weekend to fund some new BR's.

But, I still have 30+ DVD purchases planned.

[KenThompson]

I have sold off 40 dvds in last month. Blu-Ray titles just look so my better on a large screen. Now at 21 titles. Only $ stopping that from being bigger.

[simpspin]

TV on S-DVD I plan to buy:

Simpsons: Season 9 (last good season of the show)
(new) Dr. Who: Season 1

Otherwise, it's all new BRs from here and I won't be replacing any of my older DVDs until the price goes down to the 15-20 range for new movies.

[blukrank]

The only DVD's I buy now are TV shows.Been awhile since I last bought a movie on DVD.I do plan on getting Harry And The Hendersons when it hits DVD this spring thoe.

EXACTLY !!! Now that I finally have my player and a TV, regular movies just don't come close to the clarity, vibrancy and pure joy that is Blu-ray. I will replace any and all movies I have with Blu-ray discs !!!
