Collection Count
Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
I always knew this week was going to represent an uptick in additions, because I was expecting a tidy pile of preorders, plus a couple of discount purchases that didn't quite turn up in time for last week. But then another whole pile turned up from the US a week earlier than I was expecting, and so I was left with a grand total of 15 new titles. Crikey.
Not that it says 15 below. That's thanks to those two that were due last week — both recent-ish-but-not-brand-new 4K releases that upgrade my old DVD copies (always nice to jump straight from DVD to 4K, because I don't feel like I've wasted money on a Blu-ray that way — especially as half (or more) of those BDs I upgrade are ones I haven't even watched).
There were more 4Ks among the five preorders: four titles from Indicator, with three in 4K; and the fifth was a delayed box set from Eureka, though that's not 4K. But the 4K love continued with that box of American titles: eight Blu-rays in total, five of them in 4K. That's a total of 10 new 4K titles this week alone, which I suspect is a personal record (maybe I should go back and check...)
Number of titles in collection: 3,153 [up 13]
Of which DVDs: 1,026 [down 2]
Of which Blu-rays: 2,127 [up 15]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 290 [up 10]
Number of discs in collection: 7,704 [up 25]
Number of films: 3,865 [up 16]
Number of additional cuts: 338 [no change]
Number of TV episodes: 9,628 [up 4]
Number of short films: 1,077 [up 8]
See you next week, faithful reader, when I'm expecting... nothing whatsoever, now. Huh. But it is time for the monthly running time update (already? Apparently so!), so at least there's that to look forward to.
