Topic: Some Year End Totals...

[Dragonfire]

I think I got 343 this year.

First this year - How I Met Your Mother - Season 4
Last - The Office - Season 5 - unless I go out tomorrow and end up getting something else.  I was tempted by a few when I was out today.

Now for the blame section  Though I can't remember all of them.  With some of them, I had gone back and read some older reviews, so it wasn't always from posts this year.

The It Crowd - 3 seasons...I can't remember who talked about it.
Fanboys - ? - Maybe Karsten
Veronica Mars - 3 seasons - Maybe Karseten or Pete..or both
Brisco County Jr - I know someone talked about it at some point
Witchblade - Pete I think
1408 - ?
Donnie Darko - ?
Family Plot - Got it to add to the Hitchcock marathon even though I was horribly behind  lol
North by Northwest Blu-ray - Jon and Achim.  Jon is blamed for all my Blu-ray purchases.
Dead Like Me - ?
Forbidden World - Jimmy
Galaxy of Terror - Jimmy
Piranha - Jimmy
Trick - or - Treat - Pete I think
Horror Classics - I got for the Halloween marathon ..though I didn't get to many of them this year.
Slumber Party Massacre - Jimmy
Humanoids From the Deep - Jimmy
Doctor Who Season 1 - probably a few of you, but Jon officially accepted blame in another thread...so...Jon

I think that is it.  though I may have missed a few.  And there are more I'll probably get later.

That looks cool


Oh yea, I forgot to mention that while three of the purchases were TV series seasons (and other was a new boxed set), the rest I got for 49 cents each during the last day of a business closeout.

[Dragonfire]

My total is now 344.  I didn't go out, but an order arrived sooner than expected.

Bored to Death Season 1 on Blu-ray.  I ordered it after it was shared that Amazon had the HBO sets on sale. Kevin posted about the sale I think.  Oh...that posting also led to my mom buying Band of Brothers and The Pacific.
Also..Jon because it is a Blu-ray.  I have to stay consistent here.

Since 2008 I've been entering actual purchase prices in DVD Profiler. I'm always using the price I actually paid in my own currency (€), including shipping costs, customs and so on.

I also always removed the SRP value because that has no merit for me.

Yesterday I did two more things. Firstly I scanned all my online shopping history and entered all the data I could find on the years 2002-2007.Now 579 out of my 1042 purchase item have an actual purchase price.

I also re-used the SRP field to enter the original item price in the original currency. Now 647 out of 1042 items have an "SRP".

Oh boy, I shouldn't have done that.

Total costs of these 579 items: 8854.88 EUR (Avg 15.29 EUR)

Count	Price	Currency	Avg
6	145.76	CAD	24.29
321	5202.20	EUR	16.21
247	2996.68	GBP	12.13
1	3344.00	JPY	3344.00

Oh boy, I shouldn't have done that.

Had you asked, we could have told you that beforehand...

I haven't been keeping track like Pete and others do but maybe I'll start that for 2012.  I can say overseen 6 movies at theaters but that's about it.

[addicted2dvd]

We just use DVD Profiler... it keeps track for us.

Karsten, our totals are very close! I added 141 to my collection this year. Mind you, although I'm seriously over my budget (the most since 2006 and almost twice what I spent last year or the year before ), you spent far more than me. I cheated though and included preview titles, not to mention the vouchers I won helped somewhat.
