    I'm looking to add A League of Their Own and The Santa Clause 1&2 to my collection this Tuesday. Along with Madagascar 3.

                For all you guys out there who go on mass buying sprees for BR. Do you really end up watching even half of them and out of those even a quarter more than once? Or is it more of a collecting fetish?

                I'm saying this as I used to hoard DVD's and ended up never watching most of them even once unless they were blind buys. Almost half my library would still have the wrapper on it. I'm more selective with my BR purchases where I only buy ones that I know I will watch multiple times or is a pretty good movie but has steller PQ and AQ which usually applies to action movies and never do blind buys. I find I'm saving a lot of money this way and it's more satisfying to me to have a library (and a lot easier to store) that only contain movies that I really like instead of filled with ones I kinda liked but i bought because they were cheap.

                  Hard to say, because every movie I buy is one that I would watch multiple times... the problem is that I now own 268 Blu-ray films, so I couldn't even watch all of them once in a single calendar year if I tried (not going to watch a movie a night after work, coaching, and class... even if I had free time).

                  So, yes, I conceivably buy the movies that I intend on giving multiple viewings. And yes, I have already watched every movie owned on BD after having bought it, even when I buy multiple at a time. However, with a growing "collection," it makes it harder to give movies multiple views unless you have a specific reason.

                  It's a good problem to have, though. Since I live with my family and have several visitors (especially when I was still in college for the past several years), I'm always down to watch a movie with people if they want to choose one from my list, which is another good reason to have a big selection.

                  I'd say there's a slight fetish involved, though... but I didn't/wouldn't do it with DVD's as I am with Blu-rays, because damn do they look and sound good!

                    Little of both. 90% of the blu rays I buy, I would have gone to see it in the theater. So as long as I'm paying around $10...I'm getting to own instead of a 1 time watch.

                    Got a stack of 15 I'm donating to the library.

                    I would do netflix streaming, but the internet connection here sucks.

                      I'm a collector. Love watching movies. I mostly now buy movies I know my family & friends will enjoy. Movies that will offer mutiple viewings @ any given time.

                      I also have my personal preferences that I pick-up that I know the family & friends have no interest in watching. (Mostly Horror & really disturbing movies IE: "I Saw the Devil"

                          I only buy Blu-Ray's that I intend to watch multiple times. There is the rare time where I'll end up buying a movie that I end up not liking as much as I thought I would, in which case I sell it.

                          If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

                            I currently own 356 Blu-ray movies/TV shows. A lot of them are movies I would watch multiple times, and others are movies I have never seen. I do plan on getting to all of them. With baseball season over, my wife and I plan to watch a lot more movies over the winter and into the spring next year.

                            It is definitely fun to have a big movie collection because there will always be something to choose from. I also have such a big collection because I saved a ton of money in doing so. I never pay full price for a Blu-ray except on very rare occasions. The Best Buy Upgrade & Save program is heaven for Blu-ray enthusiasts. I would say about 90% of my collection has come from that program since they started it. I've pretty much filtered out most of my DVD movies except some TV shows and movies that are not currently on Blu-ray.

                            Wal-Mart and Best Buy $7.99 bins are great, and I've also gotten good deals on movies at Target too. If I'm looking for a movie that is near impossible to find in a store, I'll pick it up on Amazon.

                            I guess in some ways you could call collecting Blu-ray movies a hobby, but if you make your purchases smartly and cheaply by looking for the good deals, then it is well worth it.

                            Here's my current collection.

                              Finally got a chance to watch the concert Video Games Live: Level Two. Amazing. The audio is demo worthy. Was a treat having medleys for Super Mario Bros, Sonic, Zelda, Mega Man, Halo and abot 16 other video games brought to life by a full orchestra.
