I'll start by saying I have approximately 170! I won my DVD player in April of either '99 or 2000 -- and been buyin' DVDs ever since. (I owned only a few VHS tapes.) Now I'm starting to question myself before buying a movie. Is this something I will watch a few times or just once so renting would be enough?

I'm no so "up" on technology. Are DVDs going to be around for some time to come or is there some other technology in the pipeline that I'm not aware of? If I knew DVDs were going to be the format for some years yet, I would probably put more into my collection.

Right now I'm concentrating on buying my favourite movies on dvd (John Wayne, James Stewart, Katharine Hepburn) - those babies I can't live without.

With the way the electronics world changes my guess would be they will come up with something new, smaller or with more options eventually. I am also building up my library of DVD's, however lately I have been asking myself the same thing, how often will I watch these movies. I started buying some older horror movies, than I started to watch them and everything looked so cheezey, so 70's look to it, I found it hard to watch them. I've thought of joining a club like Netflix, where you pay so much a month to watch as many movies as you like, if I find something I really liked than I'd go out and buy it.

I'm getting my favorites on DVD. Whatever superseding technology occurs will likely take enough time to catch on, that there will be a sufficient overlap and time to transfer. I also suspect that DVD technology will remain available in computers; I watch most of my movies on my laptop already.

I'm a DVD freak - I have over 100. But,I also had bought many movies on VHS, so now I'm re-buying my favorites on DVD as well.
