How Do You Collect Your Blu-Rays?

[DetroitSportsFan]

I buy anything on my wishlist when it's an acceptable price.

[Mr. J]

I buy whatever I'm into

But I guess I buy them like this:

1) New releases
2) Upgrade "top faves" I have on an old format (DVD/VHS)
3) Older movies I may have missed
4) Upgrade older movies I have on an old format (DVD/VHS)

I realize 2 & 4 are almost the same, but there are some older movies I can wait for and some I need "yesterday."

I buy what ever I want simple, if something is cheap and I like it that is a huge factor also.

That is how I operate most of the time.

Some films I plan on buying as soon as they come out, regardless of price.

Other times I have a rough idea of films I want, it's just a case of them dropping to a price I'm happy to pay.

Sometimes I'll be out shopping and just grab one spur-of-the-moment

Wish-list and then by price.

I only buy my favorite movies, of which most aren't even on Blu yet...I do try to get as decent a price I can, but since I buy fewer than many other people, I'm not quite as picky in that regard...

[BluOrbit]

I buy any movie that doesn't have Bradley Cooper in it

[Zippyfan]

I like to buy films from pre 1970 including silent films. I also collect Post 1970 but before is when films were really interesting

[Lt. Aldo Raine]

i buy my favourite movies mostly, i rarely blind buy unless i heard great things about the flick and its a good transfer
price plays a huge role as well, i dont spend more than 21.99 on a movie unless its a fav of all time, so ibuy alot of used or shop at flea market and i dont go crazy wen blus r 9.99 i am very picky, i would rather spend 22bones on a really good blu than 2 mediocre ones im in no rush to own alot

Same as me, really.

I keep a list on my iPod Touch of all movies I want in three categories: already released, coming soon, and not yet announced. It usually depends on whether or not I have the extra money to spend on movies as well as if I'm in the mood to watch that Blu-ray. If I buy a movie it's usually to watch right away. I also usually only buy movies I know I'll watch several times.

I have about $400 in Amazon credit coming my way, so I'll be taking care of most of my coming soon list through October.

This is how I started my Blu-Ray collection, too. About a month ago, I finally got to the bottom of my wishlist (took me 4-5 months), so now I just buy an occasional title if the price is right. I generally don't blind-buy Blus, also.

my checklist:
1) is the movie great? i'm not cluttering up my house with movies that are merely good.
2) is there any chance i will watch it again?
3) does the disc represent the best that can be done with the source material?

[MaCruz]

By price mainly from BB, and some from Amazon, BJ's Wholesale, Target, and WM.

That's an excellent checklist my friend, my criteria when contemplating a purchase are almost identical...

[dcowboy7]

Is it $17 or less & do i really like it.

Yeah, that's basically how I decide whether or not to buy a film. In particular, I resonate on #2 and then ask myself "Does my collection really need this title?"

By price and mostly buy from amazon.
