Welcome Kevin, I'm glad someone finally said it. That really does apply to many of the members here.
I myself have a small collection in comparison to many of the ones here, but I buy DVDs for the same reasons as you.

Cheers.

Welcome to the site. I am a big horror fan and I love collecting TV series. I have a rather large collection of 2,445 releases (Counting boxsets as 1). I have such a big collection for 2 reasons...

1. I been collecting since the start of DVDs... getting my first DVD Player and titles in May of 1997
2. I have a lot of titles given to me. I have had at times 2 to 3 big boxes of DVDs given to me at a time.

And as I am sure there are people here that will tell you... my nickname definitely fits.

Hi Kevin - welcome to the forums! 

I've been a collector of "stuff" for a long time. Books, records and DVDs are my favorites.

I will eventually get to read, listen to and watch everything I own. I'll have plenty of things to do once I retire! 

I used to keep everything but now I often give away the items I don't think I'll get to again.

i don't have the space as i still live at home

Guess what, so do we. 
The only difference might be that in most cases our parents don't share our homes with us anymore. The spare room can be used for storing DVDs. 

Welcome to this forum Kevin,
I admit that I too am on the verge to collecting for the sake of collecting. But as it is now I'm still very selective (at least from my POV) with my purchases (it took me nearly 10 years to get my 800+ collection).
So one of the advantages of this forum is that the appreciation you receive here is not depending on the size of your collection, but on the quality of your participation.

I thought those were Kathy's, although, she's downsizing.

Hi Kevin

Yes, I guess I collect(ed) for the sake of doing just that. Although, my difficult is/was that I live in Taiwan where renting DVDs is more difficult to me and the TV selection is limited. I am, however, trying to cut down on my purchases and be more selective. I am still working on the last part

hi i can understand are DVD'S not really cheap to buy in Taiwan cause when my dad used to go there to work years ago he used to bring back loads of DVD's that he got cheap.

Hi
Welcome to the board.

I get movies and tv shows that I like.  I also sometimes pick some up because I've read good things about them.  I do watch my movies..yes I have a lot I haven't watched on DVD or Blu yet, but I'll get to them.  I buy movies when I find them on sale most of the time.  When I really, really want one, I'll get it without waiting on a sale.
