The World still has decades to go before the hardware and software become
mainstream and cheap enough for even low income earners to afford. First
you have to have a viewing technology that has perceptible depth without
glasses of any kind and then you have to have the majority of movies past
and future in that format. Think back to the 1980's when Video cassette's
came out and over the years the bulk of Hollywood movies became available
to watch at home for the first time. DVD's were again simple to implement
because optical technology has been around since 1982. Those were simple
transitions by comparison as existing movies will have to be computer
processed to add the missing resolution and depth of view that "true" 3D
will require. All of this will be very costly and only the well heeled
will be early adopters. Mind you, this technology does not yet exist for
consumers to purchase despite trade show demos. Hollywood support is going
to be long in coming. I could possibly live long enough to see it happen.
Maybe..

The reason I know how many disc i have is because I recently scanned
them into DVDprofiler. I wanted to be sure I didn't buy something I
already have. DVDProfiler has the mode where if you have a box set,
then it counts each disc in the set. So, while I got 24 season 1, I
don't think that is counted as one title. The same for the BattleStar
Galactic set. One thing is for sure, I have a lot of discs! But I still
dont' think I'm a "real" collector, as some of these people get all
interesting in details I care nothing about. I like to repeat watch
some movies way more frequently than others. But some movies are like
new after 3 or 4 years of not having watched them.
Isn't this whole Blu-ray 3D thing a scam (needed a 3D HDTV and a 3D
Blu-ray player)? I can't see this catching on. But I wonder what
others here think.

I think there may be 2 kinds of collectors. Those who leave the seals
in tact as a future investment hoping the price will climb over time
and those of us who like to repeat watch movies. Having a 1000 plus
movies on disk seems to qualify as a collection..

Does nearly 1000 discs make me a collector? :) I don't really
consider myself a collector, though.
IF you have watched them all, you are just a saver...
A collector would not break the seals on the cases...
