Collection Count

Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.

Another moderately hefty update this week, which kind of snuck up on me. Okay, almost half of it was another bulk order from the US (a different site for different reasons this time, so not technically connected to the other two... but it's still a pile of US titles all arriving at once, so, y'know); but the rest of it kind of crept in. Three are new releases, one arriving more promptly than its label (Anime Ltd) usually manage, the other two dispatched later than normal and, consequently, arriving a few days late; and one's a new release for next week, arriving uncommonly early (by recent standards); and the final two are a couple of "black market" versions of titles unavailable in official releases (John Woo Hong Kong classics The Killer and Hard Boiled).

Across those there's all kinds of content, meaning every category changes this week — including DVDs edging ever closer to slipping below 1,000 titles.

Number of titles in collection: 3,287 [up 11]
Of which DVDs: 1,004 [down 1]
Of which Blu-rays: 2,283 [up 12]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 348 [up 2]

Number of discs in collection: 7,965 [up 15]
Number of films: 4,047 [up 10]
Number of additional cuts: 385 [up 6]
Number of TV episodes: 9,716 [up 25]
Number of short films: 1,136 [up 7]

See you next week, faithful reader.
