I started Dec. 2008. I went up to 125 blu's but I've been selling them to reallocate funds to build a better sound system.

Better audio is always a good thing!

I went blu at the beginning of this year and haven't regretted any part of it.

Penitus · 02-16-2009, 12:32 PM

Started my collection in mid-December 2008. I've been buying about 2 per week since then, sometimes more.

I'm going to be off work for 5 weeks starting today because of major surgery I am having this Wednesday, so I've been buying a few more. After all, I have to do something with my time other than playing Guitar Hero, right?

STARSCREAM · 02-22-2009, 02:01 AM

I started on launch of PS3 and had almost a hundred blus but have recently begun to sell some off an slim my collection down to only the ones I "really" want.

bongzilla · 03-12-2009, 09:54 PM

Started blu-ray about 2 months ago,threw out all my old equipment, keep my speakers. And since switching all I seem to do is either watch Blu-rays,
or listen to CD,s, I have HDTV, but cannot stand to turn it on anymore.

I did keep all my DVD,s until I can find something to do with them.

Don't tell me that Blu-ray is all you watch now? Or that you won't watch them, because they don't measure up! I still watch my DVD's, even though I own more Blu's. Watched Braveheart the other night and it was fantastic...it'll be super-duper fantastic on Blu, but in the meantime the DVD works just fine.

I started at the end of Sept 08. I'm now up to 160

I got kinda addicted

crazyBLUE · 03-13-2009, 12:25 AM

First Blu w/player Jan. 08 !

Verkman · 03-13-2009, 02:53 AM

Received a couple Blu's at Christmas, same time I got the PS3, but didn't start buying my own until after the new year. Not doing too bad, but I will slow down eventually. Only going to buy what I know I'll like. The nearest rental store is close to an hour away, so blind buying is something I do regularly. So after blind buying Pineapple Express, Drillbit Taylor, and Jumper, I've decided to cut back on movies I think I might like, and buy ones I know I will like. Sounds strange, but I'm getting better judging my tastes in movies. Those three movies were terrible.

I never collected DVD's. I have some TV shows on DVD, but other than that, maybe five or six movies, so I'm technically very new to the movie viewing experience. I also haven't been to a movie theater in probably four years. It's also an hour away.

Blu-ray is the only way I see movies now, save if I can find the time to watch one on TV. Problem is, any time I watch TV I always tune into sports. I've also cut back on buying Blu's to upgrade the Audio equipment, but now that that's done, I might still cut back now that spring is coming and I'll be on the field for days on end.

Jamespic1118 · 03-13-2009, 06:00 AM

I do the same thing, I only buy movies I like and that I would watch over and over. I think 10 of my movies I got free so those ones don't count.
