Bloggin' On: My DVD Collection By the Numbers
 |
| Screenshot of my Blu-ray.com DVD Collection A-C page. |
Before I bought my first Blu-ray discs (Batman Begins and Spider-Man 3) in 2009, I already had a nice collection of movies and TV shows on the then-dominant DVD format. I probably had around 80-90% of the DVDs I have now back then, and even though lately I have been focusing on new releases in Blu-ray instead of trying to replace all of my DVDs on a one-to-one basis, I still have had to buy a few new titles that are still only available on the older format. Also, some titles, such as Paramount/Lucasfilm's The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones (three boxed sets) have not been offered on Blu-ray.
As is the case with my Blu-ray collection, I do not have a huge DVD library. As of this blog post, I own 157 feature films and 78 TV seasons, and a grand total of 186 SKUs. That's not an impressive number; I know some folks that have - easily - DVD collections that are four, five, even six times larger than mine. But it is a nice collection that I've been slowly building since mid-1997, when I bought my first DVD (which I played on my computer's DVD-ROM drive till 2000, which is when I purchased my first DVD player and a TV with the proper A/V input ports).
