I am addicted to buying blueray movies. Everytime I go to any type of store that sells them I have to atleast buy one. And I know there are others because they stand at the racks for an hour or more just like me looking at all the selections. But I didnt do this with DVD's at all. I really have less DVD's than I do BD's. I guess since it is such a different movie experience in HD that I enjoy watching movies alot more now.

When I was in college I was obsessed with buying DVDs. I wanted to have a collection.

 

What a f***ing waste of money. No one cares about the BluRay collection but you... take the money you are spending and put it into an account. Then 6 years from now when BluRay is out and the next fancy thing is in, take that bank account and compare it to the amount you would get selling those crappy BluRays on eBay. You will not be able to believe the difference in value.

 

EDIT: That came across harsh, but I was just referring back to my own wasted cash and trying to pass the lesson onto you.

But I really watch these movies though. I could see if I was just buying them and letting them sit there it would be a complete waste but I watch them all the time.

All the time? If you're buying them every time you go to a store you don't watch them all the time. You're just buying them so when people come over they'll say "whoa, you've got a lot of BluRays."

 

Sure, you can own some, but you're addicted to it. I've been addicted to buying movies pointlessly. You'd be better off burning your cash... it looks cooler.

I am not "that guy" I promise you. I have most of them in my room and in my closet. I dont have them on some huge shelf to show off.

 

But I do agree that in a couple years I will feel cheated out of my money so I probably should stop now.

Oh man, the interventions are hilarious on that show.

 

Yes, let's intervene for SHIPPS.

Harsh but true -- and I have almost 1000 DVD's to show my experience in not only agreeing with you, but KNOWING you are right.

 

Although I'd never recommend this, it's just what I've "heard" you should do -- save your blue ray money -- buy a newsgroups account and download all those bluray movies for free.

If Blu-ray movies make Shipps happy, then it's money well spent

http://www.swaptree.com may have dvds for trade, no bluray yet tho.

I love that website. Thank you for putting me on to that.

No problem.

 

I saw it in a Facebook ad.

I only buy blu (except for TV shows) and gave all my old DVD's to my Dad. He has about 400 movies in his collection but I don't see a reason to buy movies with Netflix in redbox. I only buy them if they're movies I love or they are at least a good movie with the Digibook packaging.

 

The HD quality is worth the extra price.

 

I lurk at www.dvdtalk.com and can't fathom why some people will buy on the first day or blind buy on to had the DVD sit on the shelf sealed for quite some time.

I honestly don't know the difference between Blu-Ray and DVD's.

 

Of course, I own somewhere between 7-9 DVD's, but I rarely ever watch a movie more than once.

Amazon is selling the new Ghostbusters Blu-ray for $9.99 after using the $5 off code GHOSTBLU.
