    Hard to believe that with roughly 600 DVDs between us, we have only about 33 duplicate DVDs and less than 40 duplicate DVDs or Movies (i.e. I have Made and Swingers each and you have the Made/Swinger combo disc, etc).

    I am not sure how this site counts those movies that are in a pack. Like the Adam sandler collection. Would it count it as one or 3. I am to lazy to go count these things one by one to check

    and titles - 175 for instance.

    There were some magazines saying CDs would *only* last twenty years when they first came out. Urban legend or fact?


    TDK claims 100 years for its best CDs but only twenty for its cheapest. I found a 100 year claim for its read/write DVDs on one of the subpages.

    Well I meant how long would they last as a media choice.

    VHS lasted about 20 years give or take.

    Will DVD last that long?

    The DVD format is nearly 6 years old right now, and I see it going strong for at least another 5 years. The X-factor is what impact HD-DVD has on the market when it becomes a reality in the next 2-3 years.

    I have the special edition one, outrageous footage never before seen yadda yadda yadda....
    I would have waited until July 1, but I got it as a gift.
    I will probably go out and get the 2 disc one anyways

    Ugh just another 5 years?

    I want something with a little more longevity.

    What's the point of even collecting if you have to throw it all away in 5 years.

    BTW -

    Blade Runner's director's cut. Is this better than the theatrical version?

    There's no such thing as longevity in a world where technology is as fast paced as a young Carl Lewis. 11 years is an eternity.

    Then what is the solution.

    Just not own movies?

    You upgrade when the proper time comes. Or you refuse the advancement and live in the past. I'm sure there is still a market for VHS cassettes since they are still available in retail outlets.

    I like that attitude. I will probably do that.

    BTW - Does anybody want to be an unopened copy of the Director's Cut of Blade Runner? I'll sell it for 16.

    What are you DVD freaks going to do in a couple of years when the blue laser high definiation DVD's come out. You know you will want to buy all those movies again.
