What Percentage of Your Collection is Combo Packs?

[Mandalorian]

This is not another thread for people to complain about how much they hate them. But I thought of this today because of how frequently people do complain about the discs they find "useless" (such as DVDs and Digital Copies), while there are others who appreciate having the extra versions for different occasions. I'm sure everyone knows how to find the percentage. You just take the number of Combo Packs and divide that number by the total BDs in your collection.

By Combo Pack, I'm referring to either BDs that come with just a DVD, just a Digital Copy, or both.

Mine is 32% (143/451)

So, what's yours?

Probably about 10%. I really try to avoid them when possible if they're more expensive because I usually just end up giving the DVDs away to people anyway. I almost always watch films on my blu ray player, so there's no need for the DVD.

Sitting at 7.6% and do not buy them as the standard BD only pack if available is generally cheaper. However, recently our LCD TV died and we were unable to watch any Blu's or TV for about 2 weeks. I was glad to have those DVD's as a backup to watch on my laptop while waiting for the new TV to arrive.

There's no way for me to tell as I sell all of the included DVDs in combo packs unless it is a kids/family title.

[Deviation]

No clue what the percentage is but I never use the DVDs so it might as well be zero. If there are options, I avoid them. Unfortunately, when there are multiple versions of a release, it tends to be the combo pack that has the special features disc as well.

Mines 6.12% 102 out 612. That's only if you don't count the ones i bought separate and the digital cop that comes with one as a combo pack or it be more.

[Phil92]

3.2% (100/320).

[Mandalorian]

Yeah, I was counting BDs that come with just a DVD, just a Digital Copy, or both.

Okay, then it would be a copy more then. Seeing how I have ones that have the blu ray and DC. So it be about 110/612 then.

That's 31.25%. Not 3.2.

[PuppyJonathan]

All but 9 :lol:

[traths]

Probably about 1 or 2%, I don't own very many combo packs.

[shinobipopcorn]

I would say the majority of it. Since most of my stuff is from Buena Vista or Fox, and they usually have a DVD or DC, that covers the bases. Some though like early Sony titles or Universal were disc only so that makes up the gap.

Well, I went to "Search Your Collection" and clicked on DVD in the "Discs Included" section. It came back with 81 returns. Which is pretty much 20%.

Actually, I thought it would be higher, since I do a lot of current blind-buys. But then again, I have a number of Criterions, for instance, which don't come in Combos.

[veritas]

198/ 490 have a DVD so 41%

213/490 have a digital copy so 43%

Kind of surprising I thought it would be higher considering how much less I value a set if it doesn't come with a digital copy or to a lesser degree a dvd. I will buy a movie without a digital copy but I expect it to be under the 3 to 5 dollar range (no dvd also lowers its value by a couple of bucks for me as believe it or not no dvd seriously hurts the resale value).

Did the same thing and mine is 1040. I thought it would be higher as well.

[El_Fez]

Looks like I've got 130 out of 948. So 13.713080168776 percent of my collection is combos.

Though come to think of it I don't think this is to accurate since I have 330 digital copies in my itunes account not counting digital copies from tv shows. If I count digital copies from my digital collection the counts more like 330/490 or 67% of my collection came as a digital combo pack.

[Bumblefeet]

Ideally 0 %, of the blu-ray releases I own with a standard combo case I took out the holder and DVD and sold the majority of DVDs. I'm only interested in collecting blu-rays and the idea of owning DVDs that sit in my collection never to be played, feels absurd. Also, the money I got from selling those went right back into buying blu-rays.

The only 'combo' editions I have left intact are a handful of special edition sets that would devalue without the DVDs as well as sets with exclusive content on the DVDs; Arrows Dawn of the Dead set with the alternate cuts only on DVD and for instance Misery that has the bonus features on the DVD.

So currently I would guestimate 2 % of my collection, originally it was closer to 10 %.

P.S. I didn't count digital copies as I have zero interest in claiming them, it's usually too much of a hassle with regional restrictions.

As of now, it's 75% (186/248)
Granted I may have to do a recount when I'm not tired.
