DVDSpot is a great site that, if you don't already know about it, you should check out.
It lets you keep track of your DVD/BD/HD-DVD collection and even gives you a value of your collection.
I have put all my BDs in there, and only started on my DVDs.
If you look at the numbers on the home page, it gives you the percentage of how many people own BD vs HD-DVD.
I think everyone should sign up for this and post your BD collection. Right now it is at 61% BD, but lets see if we can make that higher

It's looks great, Cpt, but my SD collection is so huge that I just can't imagine taking that much time to input it into any Web site. It's been tough enough keeping a running list in MS Word.

I know what you mean, but your BD collection can't be that big.
At least add those if nothing else. My account is still missing probably about 90% of the DVDs I own. But I am impressed with the selection, it has most (if not all) of the obscure DVDs as well as popular ones. (Granted it doesn't have my imports from Germany or Japan, or China.... but who cares about those...)

It is a really nice place. I've got my collection on there as well and it's already saved me a few times from rebuying the same titles.


Anyone, feel free to add me to their friends list: imay3kbug

this site is rather good. and for the whole having to take the time to put your sd collection in... if you work a boring part time job (like i do) that doesnt require alot of concentration just do it a bit at a time... trust me it kills crazy time

not to mention its cool to see how much your bds and sds are worth...
just dont tell the gf lol.. i told he mine were worth close to 2G on only 50 and she flipped

Being an insurance agent, I can tell you a site like that is good for tracking your collection for claims purposes if you ever have a loss.

When insuring a home or even for renters needing renters insurance, one must take into account their A/V collections as they are very expensive to replace if a loss occurs. So many people overlook this valuations when dealing with me that I am forced to make them think about their A/V collections.

To file a valid claim you will need to provide the underwriter proof that you actually owned the items you claimed were lost. You can solve that by taking a photo/video of your entire collection and keeping it safe off site and the recommended web site is your inventory list.

OK, I've input my Blu collection (well, most of the current titles that I could remember, anyway). Whew, there are suckers there with collections over 6900 titles! It'll be easier now to update that as I go along. Thanks for the headsup, Cpt!

so wait does this mean you CAN'T post it on the website or you should???

[CptGreedle]

My BDs and a few DVDs are already worth over 2k, and I still have a huge number to put in for DVDs.
Feel free to add me, CptGreedle, as a friend.
I think i will try to start some of my own reviews on there sometime, but don't expect it to be too often. But I'll try.

I've got my collection up at DVD Spot. Great site.

BTW, this is already being disgussed here:

Thanks for the link. I didn't realize it was already there.

Wherever you put it, it simply amounts to a good inventory list.

A good inventory list (or video of your home contents) is something everyone who buys homeowner insurance should take time to create.

must be missing something...

i dont see anything referring to blu-ray when i try to add a movie...

You have to go down the list sometimes to find the Blu-ray version of the movie by looking for the Blu-ray bar across the top of the image. Night At The Museum's Blu is at the top if you want to look for something as a guide.

Same here! I had my own database going and I stop using it to DVDSpot. I ended up putting all my 700 SD DVD only took a few days. I love how you can search by UPC. That makes life so much easier.

[Xboxbydegrees]

to bad they don't have games as well.

[Razzy]

Only thing that bugs me about the site is they count boxed sets as 1 movie. Otherwise it's awesome.

I didn't like that at first myself. I just use the "Title Owned" as how many movies that I have.

[CptGreedle]

Perhaps we could all friend each other on DVDspot.
Mine is CptGreedle, if anyone else wants to add me go ahead. If you want to put your handle out post it here.
