I've recently got a Samsung 51" HD/3D TV and bought a copy of Thor 3D blu-ray, because I wanted to see what the fuss was all bout concerning 3D. It's an awesome viewing experience! Now I've caught the bug. And since I'm a big fan of the recent Avengers movie, I have acquired related tiltes (Iron Man 1&2, Captain America, The Hulk and The Incredible Hulk), opting for 3D where available. Plus, will definitely get the Avengers when it is released later this year.

Here comes my dilemma - I just pre-ordered this:

Amazon.com: Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase One - Avengers Assembled (10-Disc Limited Edition Six-Movie Collector's Set) [Blu-ray]: Movies & TV

It's a 10 disc set with all the Avengers related movies, which I already own. So I have no intention of unsealing or reselling this. I just want it on my shelf. Why? I don't know! WTF happened to me? I used to be against buying discs, because I thought I would never watch them again. So I always favored renting over purchasing to avoid the money pit. But now, not only am I collecting movies to watch, I am buying multiple copies of each to keep them sealed, just because. Well, to be clear, I don't intend to buy multiple copies of all movies. Just the ones I'm obssesed with, which is only the Avengers right now.

How many of you out there have a similar addiction, OCD? How many of you are going to buy this particular set? Do I need help?

EDIT:
And now I just added this to my pre-order: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ls_o00_s00_i00

This one is to open and watch...

Fraaaaaak... I need to stay off amazon... I might start dipping into my kid's college fund... LOL

Obsessed with the Avengers? I approve.

[speedtouch]

I haven't bought a DVD in 8 years, probably. And I have never bought a BluRay.

[palandri]

Don't buy too many. Movies will soon come embedded on a chip placed in a card the size of a credit card. :D

Believe or not, I have never, ever bought a DVD. Thor is the very first Blu-ray I have purchased.

Hahaha! That's exactly what I was thinking about. DVDs/Blu-rays will eventually be replaced with something else. I'm guessing it's going the way of the CDs - digital downloads.

Would you believe my wife is equally obssesed with the Avengers? So she had no qualms about me paying for this set. Geeky women are so sexy!

It wasn't that long ago that Laserdisc were the rave. :D

When I was growing up, the only Laserdiscs my parents had were karaoke songs! LOL

Do you stream movies or download them?

[speedtouch]

Do you stream movies or download them?

Netflix!

[scottcraft]

Netflix!

I plan on getting a Roku for netflix and stuff like that. I can't see going to the store and paying four bucks to rent a movie (although redbox is pretty cheap).

[palandri]

I was doing the Netflix's thing for a while, both DVD's and Streaming. I wasn't real happy with it. New/Just Released movies were never available for streaming and it always took a few weeks to get a DVD of a New/Just Released movie, so I gave up on Netflix.

Now if I want to see a New/Just Released movie, I'll either buy the Streaming from Amazon or pickup the rental DVD at Redbox.

I use a Western Digital Live! device to stream my Netflix. Works great.

My cable company offered me free HBO, Cinemax, Showtime & STARZ for 3 months. I was thinking about cancelling Netflix and putting that money towards a subscription to HBO. HBO has some pretty good series, On-demand (HD/3D movies & HBO Go).

Just get an XBox. I use Netflix and MLB.TV almost every day. And there are several other, non-subscription, movie apps that you can watch for free or starting at $3.99. The YouTube app by itself is amusing. And you can control the functions of the apps with your Kinect. Oh, ad did I mention you can also play games.

Being 50 something, never though I would have an interest in a game console. But now, with all the added programming, I believe every household should have an XBox/Kinect plugged into their primary boob tube.

I have an XBox/Kinect & a PS3. Love the Xbox and all it's media content, but been using PS3 more, lately, for Blu-ray 3D and streaming 3D movies from Vudu. And when the NFL season starts, I can get NFL Ticket on the PS3, since this year is undoubtedly going to be a Superbowl year for my Niners!!! :D

o man... if all things went by download, my friend in northern BC is going to cry... they pay for their internet per KB lol

[ninjaap]

Yikes! That's a good point.

Looks like blu-ray capable xbox coming: http://www.wpcentral.com/microsofts-...nline#comments

Guess my collection won't be outdated any time soon! I'm going to need a bigger rack...

Believe or not, I have never, ever bought a DVD. Thor is the very first Blu-ray I have purchased.

I'm still upset that my copy of Thor doesn't work. 3 different players and 2 different BD's, still skips at around the bar scene. I thought maybe a firmware upgrade would fix the issue, but not so far. Anyhow, sorry for going off topic, BD has been upsetting me. I've had bad luck with 3 different movies.

Wow. That sucks! I'm sorry to hear that :(. I hope you have better luck from now on.

I now have completed my Avengers related movies and I watched them all again. I got both Hulk movies, Iron Man 1 & 2, Captain America and Thor. No problems so far, except for Iron Man 1. I got it from Ebay and found a scratch on the disc and exchanged it immediately. I didn't even try playing it. The new one works great.
