Your collection upgrade: Are you 50% Blu?

[Kristian Idol]

Ladies and gentlemen, fellow film collectors and stat nuts:

I have just replaced my DVD of Italian Job with its Blu-ray, making the number of Blus I own equal to the number of DVDs at 141 each (282 movies). It's all downhill from here, on my way to 100% high def!

(I don't count TV yet because so few are available.)

So how about you? Do you have as many Blu-ray movies as on DVD? Is your collection over 50% Blu-ray? Tell us your upgrade story!

Not even close for me.

I have like 782 DVD's and currently 141 blu-rays, with 9 more on the way.

Still a little way for me to go.

[wormraper]

400 ish dvds and 1400 blus

[P@t_Mtl]

Not close for me either 256 Blu-ray for 713 DVD

[Cowboy300]

Considering I only have like 15 DVDs...slightly

[MikeDaWiz]

Id say yes. I dont have nearly as much DVDs once i started collecting Blus. i traded in most of them. I think i have more TV series on DVD then actual movies.

[cartman781]

550 DVDs 900 Blus

[SleeperAgent]

0 DVD's (Unless they came with the blu)
<<<<that many blu's.

So 100% blu (technically)

Never got in to DVD that much. Had about 40 when I went blu and gave them all away to my friends who weren't upgrading any time soon.

[crazyBLUE]

I have 23 DVD's left. 315 Blu-rays.

I had close to 150 DVD's when I got into collecting Blu's.

[Almadacr]

I only have about 10 DVD`s and the are all concerts , i had about 200 , but since the new formats started to come out i replaced the films that they were worthed to me with HD DVD and BR , never bought any more dvd`s , and the ones that i had i gave to a friend of mine .

No way there are a lot of movies I don't feel the need to upgrade, DVD is still a great format with half decent video and audio quality, that is if the disk has DTS. Plus which I don't have the money to upgrade every DVD I own.

[HD Goofnut]

I started out with about 400 DVDs. Now I am down to 108 DVDs since I sold them as I upgraded them to BD.

[Ite]

Around 560 DVDS and 80 Blu Rays. Not even close.

Completely agree with this.

[Adam.C]

The only dvd's I have now are Seinfeld episodes. I either sold or gave away my whole dvd collection when I switched to Blu in '09

pawn shops and sales. when you can get 50% of your collection for $6-$8 per.... not nearly so bad. that and I have very few other vices that require money.... don't smoke,drink (very much), go out to dinner or drive expensive cars. amazingly frees up a decent chunk. don't actually spend more than a few hundred a month on blus.

plus, I WAIT for titles to drop 99.9% of the time. I may splurge and spend $20 on an amazing movie like I did with Star Trek 2009, but I normally wait till $10 and under (unless I can do so with disney coupons or they are specially released catalog titles at $10 or less like the BB exclusives this week)

[DNinja]

I'd say I'm at 75% Blu 25% DVD now. There are only a handful of titles I still have not upgraded. The rest of my DVDs are not available on Blu-ray yet.
