    Ah depends are we talking originals , not so originals ;), or that dreaded illegal downloading of movies, "Down with that sort of thing".

    If so,Last count (about a year back) had 500+ dvd's, bought many since and alot off blue-ray's also. not so originals 200+ and if i was to download illegal material i reckon i would download somewhere in the region of 300+ but i don't..booo!!

    OP here, no, not talking downloads, just disks (or is that discs?) anyway, DVD, Blu-ray, HD-DVD when they were out.

    I've about 230 movies and 127 TV box-sets

    DVDs are for fools who want to waste money lining the pockets of fat american whore masters. I just rip whatever from the net and proud of it.

    If the top of the list is anything to go by ("Incredible Hulk", "Hills Have Eyes 2" and "Two and a Half Men Season 3" among others) then clearly yours and most normal peoples definitions of 'picky' are two very different things.

    to be honest, from reading this thread, i would put a dvd and cd collection as a bigger waste of money than smoking and i don't even smoke.

    we worked out before on 20mb broadband that it was quicker to find the album online, download, extract and add to itunes.. than it was to have the cd in your hand and rip it into itunes the old fashioned way.
    think we had it down to 3/4 minutes to get an album into itunes and about 10 minutes till we were watching a movie on xbox. ah the days of 2050kb/sec downloads..

    anyways, for practicality reasons, downloads are better.. i have my tv remote and xbox controller beside me here. i can switch on both without moving, my xbox is connected to a hard-drive with 500+ movies, loads of tv series and hundreds of albums. that i can jus flick through and watch. in turn, my xbox is connected to a hifi so it's good for music aswell. and even better, my xbox is hooked up to my mac itunes so i can stream any new music through the network. try that with cds.

    then if you go as far as using xbmc for your movie and cd collection, it makes the idea of a dvd seem primitive and limited.


    then there's the positive side of bands not getting cd sales.. they're going to make their income from concerts which is way better for the fans anyway cause we're happy to pay 70euro to see them actually be a band.

    as for movies, yea they're gonna lose money but people will still go to the cinema and clearly people will still buy dvds and blu-ray. the actors jus might not get 20 million a movie anymore.



    edit: jus thought of this, i had american history x on my phone, was chattin to one of the lads in work who hadn't seen it so i blue-toothed it to his phone so he could watch it later.. was one of them moments where i thought, how is that even possible compared to ten years ago. i don't mean the scaled down version, i mean proper 1.4gig download.

    Cool site - I have wondered if there was a site for this type of thing.

    Tried signing up but on the signup page the Security Code that appears says Error and then highlights this when I click register. :confused:

    I'll try this again over the weekend and see can I get it working. I stopped counting a long time ago - think it was a couple hundred maybe. I'll update if the site works.

    I'd suggest Rescue Me, brilliant comedy/drama, the same goes for Entourage and maybe Private Practice.

    Other great shows you can get for next to nothing are Over There and Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. two greats cut down in their pilot season because America couldn't handle them:(

    physical formats rule.

    I guess you hate vinyl too?

    my DVDs span approximately 70 feet of shelf space.
