Be Honest, How many of your Blu-rays are still in the wrapper? - Blu-ray Forum

Roland1919 · 03-18-2008, 03:30 PM

Are you like me? I have to be honest and tell you guys, as of last night I have 22 Blu-Rays still in the wrapper. Granted, I've watched 50+ over the past year but still I'm buying them faster than I watch them. Sometimes I think I'm just a consumer ***** and a retailers best friend. My girlfriend made fun of me last night and said, "I should create a post 'on my little website' to find out who else has the same problem". So common gang fess up....

Next on my list to unwrap and "watch" list:

1. No Country (1 week)
2. Corpse Bride (had this for about 8mo's)
3. Kiss of the Dragon (had this for about a year I think)
4. Memento (3months)
5. Fifa Soccer...yes I even have PS3 games sealed...this title I've had for about a month

Well, I unwrap them right away to put them in my collection, but many haven't been watched yet. SO zero have the plastic, but, you know what I mean?

Blu n Gold · 03-18-2008, 03:36 PM

I actually will open up a new blu-ray and watch a small section of it. Buena Vista releases have those nice "Movie Showcase", just to see some quick high lights.

Brian Cash · 03-18-2008, 03:37 PM

Zero as soon as I get home I unwrap them and put them with my collection

Blu Titan · 03-18-2008, 03:37 PM

I have probably around 30, that I have yet to watch in BD. Mostly catalog titles that will be viewed when I am in the mood for that particular movie.

Yeah same here, I can't even wait to unwrap them till I get home...usually fiddle with the wrapper while I'm driving...almost hit a dog doing this once...

elmo · 03-18-2008, 03:43 PM

30 owned, all unwrapped, 8 not watched . . . yet lol

iNCREDiPiNOY · 03-18-2008, 03:44 PM

Actually you should add, how many Blu-Rays are still in the plastic bag? So mine is 7 Best Buy Plastic Bags, lol!

Mikeblu · 03-18-2008, 03:46 PM

I tend to watch TV when trying to go to sleep so I miss the ending of most of them.

BStecke · 03-18-2008, 03:46 PM

I've got one . . . the free one I got from the training.

Y3k Bug · 03-18-2008, 03:47 PM

Zero wrapped, all watched...although on big buy days (like last Tuesday) it can take me up to a week to get through watching them all.

PIHB · 03-18-2008, 03:47 PM

i have 2 i just got that havent watched (i am legend and hitman
) they came yesterday but it was party time. but the only movie i got and have not watched is species, and man do i not want to see it

kpkelley · 03-18-2008, 03:55 PM

I have 124 BD movies and two tv series. All are unwrapped and thanks to this past weekend all have been watched, although there were some that it took me a few weeks to watch.

X400 · 03-18-2008, 04:00 PM

well... i removed all of mine from their packaging... i dunno why i have a thing about taking the packaging off

but ive only watched like a handful of them

ground chuck · 03-18-2008, 04:01 PM

zero, i open them up and check to make sure that

1) the disc is in there
2) that its a blu-ray disc.

Crème Blu-ray · 03-18-2008, 04:02 PM

I have 49 titles unwatched since I bought them. (Some of them are actually unwrapped, but I'll go with the spirit of the question.) Of those, 12 are movies I've already seen, 2 of which I've seen previously as Blu-ray rentals. Those two are the only ones for which I have a detailed memory of the plot.

hc666 · 03-18-2008, 04:02 PM

0-10 unwrapped but not yet watched.

dadkins · 03-18-2008, 04:03 PM

None.
I buy mine at the local Best Buy and within 20 minutes I am watching them.
