Collection Count

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

Nothing to add this week, because preorders are still on their way. Next week should be busier... and, actually, I've got another bulk US order on the way too, so it might be a pretty big'un.

In the meantime, this week it's time for the latest monthly running time update.

Number of titles in collection: 3,455 [no change]
Of which DVDs: 991 [no change]
Of which Blu-rays: 2,464 [no change]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 425 [no change]

Number of discs in collection: 8,329 [no change]
Number of films: 4,375 [no change]
Number of additional cuts: 430 [no change]
Number of TV episodes: 9,856 [no change]
Number of short films: 1,209 [no change]

Total running time of collection (approx.):
584 days, 18 hours, and 11 minutes.
(Up 1 day, 2 hours, and 1 minute from last month.)

See you next week, faithful reader.
