790 DVD's to 35 Blu-ray titles.
95.57% DVD
4.43% Blu-ray

But I'm going 200% for BD.

I've collected DVD's since June 7th, 2000. (The Matrix & Eyes Wide Shut)
And I've collected Blu-ray Discs since July 22nd, 2009. (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire)

That makes it:
790 DVD's in 3924 days and
35 Blu's in 296 days

Or:
0.20 DVD's per day (one every 5 days) and
0.12 Blu-rays per day (one every ~8 ½ day).

How many of you have Laser Discs? And just that: how many?

I threw out all my VHS-tapes I had (I only have a few left, which are included in music video collections or that kind of documentary – all from Icelandic music artists ), I don't have any LD's (if I would I would have had T2: Judgment Day - from which I'm currently also listening to the music soundtrack ) and I never cared to buy HD-DVD, because I wanted to see which format "won" the market.

I am dead set every time a new format arrives, to never buy anything from the older formats again. But seeing that DVD has so many titles and all, I can't swear that I wouldn't buy another DVD. It's most likely that I will. But I rather wait, than to buy a movie on DVD, nowadays.

The last DVD I bought was Astrid Lindgren Matiné: Sommardag på Junibacken/Lotta åker till Landet, on September 1st, 2009.

It's not a real movie, as the title suggests. But it includes deleted scenes from one of the Madicken movies ("Maggie" in the US).
Two days earlier I bought Twin Peaks: The Definitive Gold Box Edition...
The last actual movie I bought was Basic Instinct: Special Edition: Unrated Director's Cut, on July 14th, last year.


OH BOY, that was an orgy in information. LoL.

Looking at only the last year:
DVD - 1.2%
Blu-ray - 98.8%

This year:
DVD - 45%
Br-D - 55%

80% of the DVDs were TV series.

Btw, I apologize that I can't provide data of the last 12 months: Profiler doesn't filter by or report the condition "Purchase Date".     

I even would have added up the monthly data manually if the key (Charts & Graphs...) wouldn't end in December 2006:

I sorted by purchase date and flagged the range by pressing Ctrl+Up Arrow, then displayed the media type chart and clicked 'flagged entries only'.
