Took a quick look at the stats so far though and it looks somewhat irritating. 2004 has by far the highest SRP total but not the price paid total is only slightly higher than some other years :o Maybe that year I bought several Box Set where the content was available separately...?
Also, the price paid total for 2007 so far (with some titles still out on delivery) seems ludicrously high... Something must be wrong... :bag:
EDIT:
:yahoo: I found what's wrong! DVD Profiler is mixing currencies... So, a) I won't be able to post my stats and b) saved myself from a heart attack.

It lasted until August :bag:

And added to that I started to buy anime boxsets (I did not take these into account when making my New Year's resolution ::) )
Post by: Achim on September 13, 2008, 07:59:28 PM
[...]cannot help myself buying :laugh:You are preaching to the choir, Tom... ;)
My goal was to buy less than last year. While I am with 122 (+4 in the mail) still well within the range below 168, I doubt I'll make it. The last three months of the year are very full with great new releases :shrug:

New Titles Added: 167
Retail Price: $4,700.29
Price Paid: $1,731.00
Amount Saved: $2,969.29
First Item of Year: This was a tie between Halloween: 2 Disc Special Edition: Unrated and Resident Evil: Extinction
Last Item of the Year: Christmas Gifts... The Incredible Hulk (2 TV Movie Collection), The Facts of Life: Seasons 1 & 2 and Sabrina the Teenage Witch: Season 4
Most Expensive: The Brady Bunch: Complete Series for $89.99
Least Expensive: 1408, Dead Silence, Evan Almighty, Planet Terror and Vacancy all tied for $0.49 joining Columbia House.
I guess that is not too bad this year. :) Though I didn't get as many DVDs this year as I did last year. But I have been concentrating more on TV Shows then movies... so that takes away from the totals a little.

The average price was 15.66€ per item which is pretty amazing since there are quite a number of season boxes and even full series boxes among them.
My first item this year was the "Angel" complete box which costed 82.19€.
My last item was "The Dark Knight" which costed 9.85€.
My most expensive item was the "Stargate SG-1" complete box which costed 137.05€.

Post by: DVDsRGreat on December 30, 2008, 08:45:25 PM
My first purchases for the year were Borat, Breach, Hot Buzz and Zodiac (all bought at Blockbuster - used)
My last purchase for the year was Hellboy II: The Golden Army
The number included 3 blu-rays which I received free when I bought my HDTV and PS3 (50 First Dates, Invincible and Night at the Museum).
All in all a good year ;D. I usually average 50-60 DVDs a year
Post by: Tom on December 30, 2008, 08:49:13 PM
For USD titles: $19.11 (135, a lot of these were TV boxsets)
For EUR titles: €9.35 (41 titles)
For GPB titles: £16.78 (6 titles)
Makes the sum of
$2579.99
€383.47
£100.67

At least less than last year.
My resolution for 2009: Keep it less than that :whistle:
Post by: addicted2dvd on December 30, 2008, 09:04:13 PM
My most expensive item this year was "Smallville: Season 7" for $40,62, directly followed by the "Death Note" movie boxset for $39,99.

A compromise really, but mainly price. Buying something because it was cheap so you thought you might as well have it doesn't count; getting hold of something valuable that you wanted for a long time but couldn't justify paying full-price would.
For me, it would probably be the John Wayne Paramount Collection for £13.50 off Ebay. It was long out of print, superseded by an inferior John Wayne Westerns version, yet still costing north of £35. It might be second-hand, but it was unwatched. :thumbup:
Other titles of note:
First: Gone in 60 Seconds
Last: 300 (Blu-Ray) :yahoo:
Most Expensive: The Godfather Coppola Restoration boxset (£17.98)
Least Expensive: Alien: Resurrection (55p) :hysterical:
I could have sworn I'd had something more expensive than the Godfather set, but no. :shrug:

In 2008:
New Titles Added: 362 titles (386 profiles)
First Items of Year: tie
Last Items of the Year: tie
Most Expensive: $254.99 (SRP 399.98)
Least Expensive: $3.95 (SRP 27.98)
Most and Least expensive do not take into account the free DVD I got - or the gifts I received. It also doesn't take into account currency values.
Best value:
I'd have to say all the Anime I bought this year. It's hard to beat 25 titles for 100$ when they are usually sold at around 20-25$ each.
-- Or --
The Sopranos: The Complete Series. I've had my eyes of getting the whole series for a little while, but never could get myself to plunk down the asking price for each season individually. I also wanted to make sure all the sets had the french dub (which I understand the whole set does) because I have people in my family who will want to watch it, but have not moved on from dubbed stuff. The whole set that came out fixed that somewhat. I still paid a bit more that I wanted - but the nice packging and presentation of the Complete Series set makes up for it.
It's my second most "productive" year since I started collecting. Which is bad. I wanted to take it down. I'll try and do better next year. Which makes me realise what my resolution for 2009 will be: buy less DVD!
Post by: Achim on December 31, 2008, 06:17:25 AM
Purchased items: 197 (incl. 2 which are still in the mail)
That is more than last year (yet again) and that trend MUST be stopped. Of course, going to Hong Kong twice, the 25% percent sale at DeepDiscount.com and several Blu-ray sales at Amazon didn't help :-[
First item: Razorback (Widescreen Collectors Edition)
Last item: The Mummy (Delixe Edition) (http://www.ya-shin.com/phpdvdprofiler/gfx/iconbluraypng.png)
Most expensive was probably the The Dark Knight Limited Edition with the bat-bike.

I honestly don't see any benefit to Blu-ray for me - especially since I watch all my movies on a 22" screen. Of course, if I had a 40+ inch screen, my opinion would most probably change, but as it stands now, I'm perfectly happy with my 22" screen and I don't plan to change it.

If you're thinking everything suddenly looks like Diary of the Dead, then I've seriously misled you and I'm about to get kicked off the bandwagon! :tomato:
I can't find a demo to try and show you the effect. Click here: LG 42LG7000 (http://uk.lge.com/products/model/detail/lcdtv_42lg7000.jhtml) and then the "100hz TruMotion" button at the bottom. It's very small and brief but you might see what I mean.
Thing is, I've always wanted a bigger screen and as soon as I got that, I needed to fill it properly! Below 32", I wouldn't bother either.

I've used the calculator in my computer to get the results. Just add the purchase date column to DVDP and add the purchase price one by one.
Post by: Najemikon on January 01, 2009, 06:08:30 PM
Just check the demo and like I've said this is the tv that is better not the media format. By the way the one with the music sheets is really exaggerated, the first one seems too blurry like the tv picture was not ajusted at all. I know that those new tv are better, I'm not again all the new technology (I don't watch my film on a 500 pound B/W TV cabinet :laugh:) I'm just not convinced that the blue ray format is that much better than the current media format.
???
No, it definitely is much better and it's not just the TV. Just pop round my house and I'll show you... :P DVDs upscaled through the Blu-Ray player do look very very good indeed, but an actual Blu-Ray disc is another level entirely. I'm sorry, but I have to pull rank because I have it right in front of me and I'm not remotely impressionable. :-X :laugh:
Whether it's entirely necessary is another question. Certainly the leap from VHS to DVD was essential in comparison and this isn't. As I say, DVDs look very good and I won't be replacing endless titles. Anyone with a decent telly should be getting an upscaling DVD on HDMI at least and not worry about Blu-Ray.
As long as we've moved on from thinking it's like camcorder footage, then my work is done... :-[

Not sure how to filter cost for individual years using Marks Database Query, or my phpprofiler?Database Query should work.
I used my Access converter and then put some SQL queries into it.
For example: Number of bought DVDs, sum price and average price:
SELECT COUNT(Id) AS [COUNT], SUM(PriceValue) AS [SUM], [Sum] / [Count] AS [AVG]
FROM vPurchase
WHERE ([Date] >= #1/1/2008#) AND ([Date] < #1/1/2009#) AND (PriceValue <> 0)
Post by: Tom on January 01, 2009, 07:52:22 PM
WHERE ([Date] >= #1/1/2008#) AND ([Date] < #1/1/2009#) AND (PriceValue <> 0)
WHERE YEAR(Date)=2008 AND PriceValue <> 0
should also work, or is it of type string in your case?

I've added 81 new titles this year, 58 were Blu-Rays. 24 of those were "upgrades" (so much for not bothering upgrading to Blu! Again with the... :bag:). 45 in total were blind buys. It's unfortunate that I blew the budget so badly this last couple of months, otherwise I'd have had the cheapest year since 2002 when I had far less new titles as well, so that would have been good considering it was mainly Blu. Ah, well. 2010 will have to be a recovery year! :whistle:
But how much of an influence has the forum had on your collections this year?
I bought a couple specifically to fill out my Hitchcock's for the marathon and plumped for an upgrade of The Thing because of the horror run. I can also thank Rich and Northbloke for their regular bargain updates as I caught several including Che (parts 1 and 2), although a couple yet to arrive.
I finally bought Downfall, specifically because of new boy Antares' review. I'd always considered it a maybe-if-cheap title, but his review made me get it. As did Goodguy with Madmen and Brick (Brick was an excellent choice, thank you, Matthias. :thumbup:). Possibly the best title of the year for that sort of thing though was Jimmy helping me get Bava's Kidnapped as I hadn't got the second Bava set with it in and it turned out to possibly be his best film. :bow:
I suppose I should thank Achim for his North By Northwest Blu-Ray reviews, but that's what started the expensive months! :voodoo: Still, it is bloody gorgeous, so I accept he was right. :laugh:
So who wants to take the blame for Tru Calling? A forum fave, but blimey I'm struggling! It's getting better, but I bet the scripts were written in crayon! Come on... own up... I'll get you for it. :tease:
Other than that, my wishlist has grown because of all of you, so Happy New Year to the friendliest and most expensive film forum on the 'net! :cheers: Really glad to see the newbies like Critter, Antares and Emma have dived in so much with the reviews. I can see 2010 is going to be even more costly!

Personally I haven't bought a lot of movie following the DVDC members recommandation, but I don't think it's a surprise for anyone :laugh:
I've bought all those awfull Jason Friedberg/Aaron Seltzer movies because of the bad review from Pete,
I've bought Dead Set because of Jon and it was great,
I've bought two hit and miss 50 movies boxset for the october marathon,
I've bought Art of the Devil 3 because Achim had found it for me.
Some titles are on my wishlist (one day I will buy The Girlfriend Experience), but there always something released more in my chord to pass it and my budget is very limited.
I've almost get the two Batman movie today since they were 2 for 25$ at Walmart, but they only had the Blu-rays in stock :laugh:

...
As did Goodguy with Madmen and Brick (Brick was an excellent choice, thank you, Matthias. :thumbup:).
Hm, difficult to say. I definitely blame Eagle Eye and Wicker Man on you (The latter wasn't that bad though). On the positive side: Fargo. Some things worked in an indirect way, instead of Malick's latest, I bought his first two. And North by Northwest prompted me to get Kusturica's opera. How's that?

But how much of an influence has the forum had on your collections this year?That's a cool question... Well, let's see:
I think the Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog came from this forum, although the web series was released last year. Who brought it up originally? Karsten?
Let the Right One In was "recommended" by Tom. It is so good, I bought it twice (of course not, I bought it twice because the Magnolia release has terrible subtitles and they refused to suck it up).
Mario Bava Collection I + II by Jimmy with some support from Jon, I think.
The Bourne Trilogy by Jon, I think? Anyway, I don't recall anyone here disliking them...
Dead Set was originally mentioned here by Jon.
Black Christmas by Jimmy.
Fear Itself by Pete (although technically not on this forum and I think he already pointed it out to me last year).
The Gate by Jimmy.
The New York Ripper was supported by Jimmy's comments.
Castle: The Complete First Season by lovemunkey, although technically through Facebook.
I apologize if I should have any of my references wrong.
So, coming to this forum is no cheap matter :laugh:

I wish I had kept track...no maybe not because of this forum I bought way too many DVDs. I don't remember who recommended most, sorry, but then you can't be blamed! I'm sure I've forgotten many but, off the top of my head:

History of Violence: Karsten
Cloverfield: ?
Dead Like Me: The Complete Collection: ?

I bought 152 items. That is more than 2009 (109) but still less than 2008 (192). I am making an effort to be more conscious about purchases; doesn't always work out though.
The first item added to my collection was:
Outnumbered: Series One & Two
The last was:
Post by: Dragonfire on December 31, 2010, 09:43:26 AM
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.

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. ;)

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)

Although, looking at that phpDVDProfiler chart makes we wonder if there is a problem somehow, since 2009 is shown with less than half of that (109), which seems a bit low :hmmmm:)Possible since a lot of movie moved to 2011 from me too when I create a custom identifier. Maybe there is a bug that reset the purchase date when we move them :shrug:

I was thinking more like an incomplete update or something like that... I hope it's not actually changed in the profiles. :fingerchew: I'll have to check it out again within DVD Profiler itself.
You can also check if you have any conditionals in the localsiteconfig.php. For examply I only count profiles that have a purchase price > 0.00 to filter out all child profiles of TV sets.

However, I double checked in DVD Profiler and it seems reasonable. Looks like 2009 was the one year I actually managed to cut down my purchases :laugh:

I filled in some numbers of DVDs I found in my Amazon history (Amazon is keeping track of your purchase from the dawn of time) but other numbers are missing until the end of 2007.
With everything for which I do have numbers I paid €12,135.57 in total.
By years:
2008: €1,628.60
2009: €1,869.30
2010: €1,586.10
2011: €1,755.48
2012 so far: €2013.55
Which means a difference of €5,038.02 are Amazon purchases in the years 2001-2007. In these years there are 417 out of 595 purchase items without a price. There's no probable extrapolation of the true purchase price since I have numbers on all the high price items (14 seasons of Star Trek TNG/DS9 for €100 each) but not the regular movies. So it wouldn't be fair to simply triple the number which I do have. But adding another €7,000 doesn't seem out of reach.
I've also give away many DVDs already, among them 10 seasons of Stargate for which I also paid roughly €900.
That means I paid roughly €20,000 for my collection so far.

So, I'll have to amend, that yesterday's numbers did in fact not refer to purchased items but to "Movies" and "TV Seasons".
Just now I realize that I may have been using "Count As" wrongly, as it's purpose may have been for these stats... I'll have to investigate some more, maybe spend the to adjust all of it... :( I previously set the Count As for "unwatchable items" like Box Sets to 0 and for discs with more than one item to the item number. For TV series I set the discs to 0 but the season parent profile to 1. I was concentrating on being able to find out how many unwatched items I have. I'll have to rethink my approach on all of this.

Although these totals may not be totally accurate as I have decided to sell off the vast majority of my collection. But of the ones I will retain this is all of them.

Although....., I consider to do some heavy pruning myself at some not too distant point. There is just too much stuff I will never watch again and I might just as well get rid of them.

Exactly.
Plus I have just moved into a flat, so just do not have the space.
