Default Do you buy too many Blu-rays?

Here's one to see how many folks thinks they may be buying too many Blu-rays. Hope the choices cover all the possibilities.

I confess to being a movie addict who has always bought far too many titles over the years - whatever the format.

I voted yes because I have a large collection, but I haven't really bought much in the last 10 months.

All my money goes to video games now.

I voted the second option. I buy a lot of BDs, but I only buy movies that will watch repeatedly.

I voted for the third. I didn't use to buy DVDs unless Bruce Campbell or Sam Raimi had some sort of dealing with it no matter how minute. But now that High Definition is about I have bought more movies than ever. I have been asked if I would rebuy them all again on the next format. I of course tell them it depends on the PQ.

I only buy titles that I know I will watch more than once.

I use to buy alot of blind buys in the beginning of starting my blu collection but I have tapered off considerably now. I only buy blus I know I will like or have a reasonable great chance of liking.

I used to. I have 166 Blu-rays and I regret buying about 80-90 of them. I literally buy 1 title every 5-8 weeks now. I used to buy everything just because it was high-def. Well that novelty wore off, so no more purchasing like that anymore.

I think I buy too many blu ray's. I have around 120, and I've been buying blu since 02/08. IMO, I don't think that is too excessive though. People like my brother in law (who rarely ever buys) would ask me why I would buy so many DVD's or BD's. I guess you have to like movies enough to re-watch them, in order to buy them. Otherwise, a rent suffices well.

Way too many. The number in my sig is seriously out of date right now.

I buy Blus that I like and will watch again. The problem is I like more than quite a few! LOL! I do have a $15 threshold so that keeps me in check as well as the good folk here in the Bargains section that dole out the latest.
