How many $$$ have you put into your collection?

[blu swagger]

Alright, how much have you spent on your Blu-ray collection to date?

[jdw89]

I'd say probably $10,000-$12,000

[Majin Blu]

According to this site, around $10,000.

[Rios]

That is something I really do NOT want to know.

Too much money in movies, lol.

[hagios]

Too much according to my wife.

[CZW]

Probably $1,000 but I'm just starting.

[Edword]

According to the 'statistics' section under my movies, $1700

[onetet]

I'd guess between $5k-$7k.

Suspecting that this is the last physical media format on which a wide selection of titles will be released, I'm shifting from having had a very tightly curated DVD collection to BD-hoarder mode.

[Steel Panther]

No idea.. if I had to guess... $11,000 probably ...

[Optimus-Prime-Rox]

No idea how much I have spent probably around $6,000 or more between DVD's & Blurays over the years but lost a few thousand dollars worth of movies in a house fire earlier in the year, so I have to rebuy certain movies that I lost.

[AgentOrange]

Probably $10,000-12,000+.

Wonder what I could get for it all now? Maybe $5,000. Ah, depreciation.

Same

$15,000 and $20,000 if you're talking strictly movies, steelbook editions, box sets, special editions, foreign, etc...

But if you're talking about (and thereby including the costs of), movie memorabilia, screenplays, books, original custom framed film posters, statues, busts, a dedicated media room (curios, bookcases, etc...) and a dedicated home theater (seating, and audio-visual set up), then the total would be considerably more.

And yes ...film is my passion and I am quite insane.

[Yungheat]

Around 2000$

[rickah88]

Not enough! Keep 'em coming.

That's been my m.o. as well. Since 2007 I've assumed that this would be the last physical format and this has affected how/what I buy as a result. With that said I'm a bargain hunter, so while my average movie price in 2007 was probably around $16 per film, I'd guess that now it's probably closer to $10 and that includes all the recent limited editions from Twilight Time and others that would drive the cost up. All in all I'm assuming I've spent between $5000 & $7000.

[GaragePoet]

i'd rather not think about it, but since you asked... if i applied a modest average of even $15 per movie, the total amount would be around $10,000... but i've been able to upgrade many of my DVDs which i originally paid $20 for for about $5 on BD, go figure...

[The Great Owl]

I've probably averaged about $15 per title in my Blu-ray collection, since I've purchased a great many movies for less than $10 apiece due to sales or to their inclusion in box sets, but I've also bought some expensive Criterion titles and Twilight Time titles.

There are 794 titles in my Blu-ray collection right now, so I'll multiply that times the above $15 average price, and it comes out to almost $12,000.

I funded a lot of my early Blu-ray purchases by selling off about 600 DVDs and trading in DVDs during the days of the Best Buy Upgrade and Save deals, though, so it does not feel as though I actually spent the above money. Of course, I bought those DVDs in the first place, so that's something else to think about altogether.

[jej826]

I would guess around 6,000-7,000.I don't even have them all listed in my collection yet.I have a bad habit of buying them and forgetting to add them.That doesn't include the hundreds of DVD's either.

[kspolikoff]

if i had to guess on blu-rays... plus storage shelves... id say my collection cost me a little over $20,000
