Collection Count

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

I alluded last week to a deluge of stuff turning up this week. Well, it didn't. Fair enough — it was all preorders due out on Monday, anyway. So, next week should have a pile of stuff (just in time for the monthly running time update, which means I've got one week to work out how long the Lars von Trier box set runs — unusually, it doesn't say on the packaging).

This week does have one new title: Doctor Who Season 25. We've reached something of a tipping point in the Doctor Who Blu-ray range at last: as well as upgrading DVDs of stories from season 25 itself, this allows me to also officially pass on stories from seasons 12 and 24. How? Those seasons are already out on Blu-ray, but the DVD editions are in box sets with stories from season 25, so I'd been hanging on to them. There should be more of this kind of thing going forward; as well as, hopefully, special features that have gone walkabout turning up again, meaning even more DVDs can officially be 'removed'.
