I have around 700 DVD's
and getting more all the time.
you can check out most of my collection here
i have maybe 350 but they are all total quality and no filler with absolutley NO illegal copies..i like to look at them in there cases by the side of my tv and now and then i get a smug feeling and congratulate myself on having such excellent taste ...HA!
i have a pal who boast he has nearly a thousand dvds but take away the crap and the illegal ones id say his collection comes to about 100 really
i have 41 of the vintage Doctor Who dvds and all 3 boxsets of the new Who some of which are signed
they are the fave ones of my collection and i love my collection of Horror Classics raging from the Universal Horrors of the 30s up til the Classics of the mid eighties.

That's like a relative of mine, he has a massive collection(not in the thousands though).
All mine in my collection are real dvds, except for two. A relative brought me Ong Bak years ago before it was out in cinemas anywhere outside of Asia because he wanted to show me the 'next best thing' since Bruce Lee etc, and also The Woods on 2 disc VCD(I don't know about VCDs, I bought it in a legal film shop in Hong Kong, are they illegal here in the UK).
44 dvd's(movies/extra content) (41 not counting extra content discs)
29 dvd's (tv shows, Counting each disc as its own)
i also have a CD case full of dvds that some guy left here, if you must know, he was nailing my sister & they are mostly bootlegged, but im not going to take the time to count them... as aside from "slither" they all suck, Yes i liked Slither.
573. Box sets, double features, etc. are counted as one.

I keep all my cases. I have them in big ass rubermaid tubs in my shed. If I ever want to sell duplicates when newer releases come out, I just put them back in the og case. If for some odd reason I ever want 1200 dvds in cases consuming a wall in my den, I've still got the cases so I've still got the option. It's purely a space saver. With over 100 box sets, I take up enough room with dvds as it is.

Shelf space is the only thing that's really a problem for me with DVDs. What are everyone's thoughts on the digital movement? i.e. an external hard drive with your titles to save some shelf space?
And say in the future, DVD, Blu-Ray, etc. is long gone and everything is digitally downloaded to people's hard drives. We pay about $10 per movie to be downloaded to this. I build up a nice collection of say, 652 titles, then boom, my hard drive crashed. I just lost all those movies. Damn. Too bad we didn't stick to the old system. 'Cause then I would just have to fork over $40 for a DVD player and I still have all my movies.
Downloads will never replace having the physical copy.
Brick is fab, buy it!! One with a nice slipcase here in the UK, if you are in the UK.
Physically copies always, couldn't stand if there was mostly digital film downloads, but that will not happen for a longgggggg time, don't worry. Plus they will not get rid of physical purchases completely, not fair on people who don't use computers. Would be an uproar.
