She won't. She thinks I am crazy for being as obsessed as I am with movies anyway.

I got a crap load of PS2 games I'm willing to part with, that's about it.

What is a dvd?

hsox05 · 04-19-2013, 03:40 AM

Yeah this is a no brainer for me. I've pretty much gotten rid of my
DVDs already outside of a very select few that I adore and are not available on blu

Video CD

Most all of my classic horror is only on DVD (Universal, Hammer), so I'd keep the DVDs.

What are you all talking about?

Just try and take my CED's from me!

PS It's getting harder to find the replacement stylus for the player

Have you been electrocuted yet? I hear CED machines have a tendency to do that.

A lot of great documentaries and foreign films on DVD that will never probably see a bluray transfer , I'd keep those

Despite the quality of my 15 BD titles, I would give them up if I had no choice as I value my collection of 2005-2010/11 Ashes DVD boxsets highly. (Brits/Aussies know what that is). They are irreplaceable and not available at any cost on BD.

Saw everyone posting the different formats at the beginning of the thread, anyone remember these? These are what I grew up watching in the early-mid 80's...

JoeDeM · 04-19-2013, 01:08 PM

I Have a about 1600 dvd's and have been slowly whittling it down. some titles would be hard to get rid off but I think I could manage without them.

SQUASHY · 04-19-2013, 01:08 PM

I would give up my blurays, keep my digital copies and keep my DVDs, my Burt Lancaster movies most my DVDs are golden era and younger hollywood and likely wont see a bluray transfer legitimately since many have fallen into public domain due to copyright non renewal.

Though I do love my blurays as I'm sure all of us know some blurays deserve to be redone, then redone again due to jutter, pixelation, graininess, too much total harmonic distortion. But then some others are done just beautifully, so it varies.

PS any Criterions I'd keep

I would give up the DVDs even though many of the ones I have are not on Blu, but mainly it would free up a ton more space.

DVDs are what we take to Best Buy starting Sunday, right?
