How many of you are replacing your standard DVD collection? - Blu-ray Forum

Animusmors · 01-09-2008, 09:34 AM

I have 19 total Blu-Rays now. Just picked up Sunshine and it's F*#%ing awesome. I'm mostly picking up new movies. But i already replaced Dracula and Close Encounters. One movie at a time. I would replace them all in a heartbeat if i had the money.

Most of my movies are upgrades of movies I've have/love. I only have 5 blu-rays that I dont have on dvd.

replacing movies that I really like and the rest I wait to find on sale. I think I have swapped out about 15 movies so far.

i'm going to pretty much replace my whole collection i'm sure.

I will buy any of my current DVDs over again on Blu Ray.

If it was worth buying on DVD,.. It's worth buying on Blu Ray.

One small example I can think of is the Avengers TV show from 65,66, and 67. I'm not sure those would be better on Blu but if they were,.. I would certainly re-buy them.

Any DVD's I have that were unwanted gifts or stuff I can't remember why I wanted it are just traded in for credit for Blu.

I never built up a huge DVD collection because i knew the day would come where HD Movies would show up. I only own 4 DVDs right now, Mortal Kombat (LOL, shuddup it rocks), Interview With The Vampire, and Jurassic Park 1 and 2. I also had gladiator but i lost it LOL. So everything i buy is pretty much my first time!

Im only replacing my favorite movies. I dont plan on rebuying the films I already own. Not worth it at this point

Mortal Kombat did rock. They did a good job with the first one.

Any movie that I own on DVD that I want to watch again, I will not watch again until I buy it on Blu-ray.

Any DVD that I don't want to watch again, I will dispose of to free up shelf space for new movies on Blu-ray.

I will also be buying many catalogue titles on Blu-ray that I never got round to buying on DVD for various reasons, e.g. I want Titanic but by the time a decent version arrived on DVD, high def was round the corner, so I didn't buy it. Same for Star Wars, where there is still no box set of the whole lot on DVD, and I wouldn't buy such a set if it were released on DVD now, it's Blu-ray or nothing.

I used to buy a lot of VHS tapes when I was a kid, but for some reason I pretty much sat DVD out. The only things I had to re-purchase was Prison Break and Nacho Libre. Oddly enough I never even bought my favorite movies on DVD. I feel pretty lucky because I'm not hampered by owning most of these titles.
