Default Blu-ray related New Year's resolutions.

With 2011 coming to a close, I was wondering what everyone's plans are for next year, related to Blu-ray, of course.

For me it'd be to catch up with all the titles from my collection I haven't watched yet, buy less, and watch every movie within a week from purchase

Plan Black Friday months in advance. I'd like to buy everything cheap on Amazon first (I didn't have enough for everything I wanted this year) and I'd like to hit up the stores just to get crazy.

Well I already scaled back my purchases quite a bit in 2011 so it will be awhile before I pass 600 so I don't think I need to make any resolutions, my BD buying habits have already changed dramatically since 2007.

Buy a new cabinet to accomodate the extra 200 BDs I will inevitably buy.

Catch up over the Holidays on my unwatched titles. I've slowed down gthe purchases but can't seem to resist sales, especially after checking into this site multiple times a day

Now I have another series to watch; just bought S1 & S2 of Breaking Bad after a sale on Amazon (which I found out from checking this site).

I don't collect movies nearly as fast, but my existing shelf is pretty much done for (I have a small amount of DVDs, and a few books as well). Instead of buying one, I thought of designing it, and having it built someplace like Home Depot. That way, I could get the most room with smaller shelf heights, and have it made of something that's not too heavy for moving.

My resolution this year for blu-rays would be to not buy as much and to be more selective with what I do buy. That way it will prevent me from having to sell stuff I really dont watch as often thus saving a bit of money. I can do it...

I have two resolutions for 2012:

a. I want to crack 150 SKU's. I'm at 110 right now, figure after Christmas around 120. An extra 30 doesn't sound so bad for most of you I'm sure, but I really scaled back my purchases towards the end of the year (I've only been Blu for a year, but the majority of my collection was built in the first 2-3 months after I initially upgraded).

b. I want to topple my unwatched pile... sitting at 57 right now. It was higher though, around 70 as of a week or so ago. I've been making more of an effort to ask, "What do I have?" rather than what I had been asking, "What do I want next?"

Hold back on early 2-D purchases of any possible 3-D titles unless I absolutely have no choice.

(For one thing, I've already held back on buying the SW Prequel Trilogy, just to see whether that Episode I conversion comes out on disk next spring.)

Follow what I have done in 2011 and just keep my movie buying to the best possible choices and not spend too much money on things that just collect dust on my shelves. Quality over quantity.

cut down on blind buying for the deal, watch my 500+ backlog and mainly just buy favorites remastered. Oh, and NEVER be dumb enough to buy new releases!

I've been thinking about this for awhile now and I wanted to start with these rules this month (december) but changed my mind while looking at the release schedule for the month, haha. I am trying to get myself in the position to start looking at purchasing a home sometime in 2013 with my fiance so I have come up with three new rules for myself.

1) No more Blind Buys just for the sake of wanting to watch the movie, only blind buys for proven directors/cast/franchises.

2) Since I've finally subscribed to Blockbuster.com I am going to limit myself to 2 new releases a month and no more than $40 in catalog purchases per month (This includes DVDs and note I didn't put a monitary limit on the new releases).

3) Going through my collection recently I've noticed that there are a handful of titles that I honestly hate or at least know I will never watch again. I've never sold them because they arn't worth what they are paying for, but this year I want to list them on Amazon, just to get rid of them (maybe take the straglers to a pawn shop or salvation army).
