Topic: How to organize your BD collection

[edwn1220]

Nobody has shared how to do this. Let me start:

I became hooked up with collecting BDs when I purchased my very first blu-ray disc (actually it's a set, "24" Season 7) in 2009, and this was a few months before I bought my blu-ray disc player! The BD titles began to build up, and I just piled them on top of each other in a corner. But when we moved into our new home, I have no choice but to start organizing my growing collection. Fast forward to 2013, I now have two cabinets and four pullout drawers housing my collection.

On organizing:

I use the studio (20th Century Fox, Paramount, etc.) as my starting point. I then arrange the titles alphabetically from left to right, top to bottom. The series, box sets, foreign films and animation have their own shelf. Though I haven't tried using other methods, I find this system pleasing to the eyes since the spines look uniform. 

I'm thinking of reorganizing the BDs- how do you arrange yours?

[the_w0rks]

3D movies

boxed sets/special/limited/ultimate editions/digibooks

steelbooks

TV series (includes animes, documentaries)

Triple pack/triple feature movies

The rest in normal amaray cases are arranged alphabetically

(I used to have a Disney category but had to replace it with 3D instead. )

^ It's a good thing you have already organized your BDs. Ikaw yung isa sa mga pinakamaraming collection dito
Question: How about UK BDs -since they have slightly thicker cases, do you separate them as well?

I have them grouped with the normal US amarays. The trick for me is to not be overly OC anymore. Haha

As much as I want the groups to look neat and kinda uniform looking, may mga pasaway na releases like Taxi Driver na normal edition lang naman pero naka digipack. I still grouped it with the normal ones.

There is also the issue of slips, pero di ko na pinapansin kung meron o wala ang BD case. It will further complicate things 

[vicsotto]

mine is:

Bluray Books

Slipcase Blurays arranged by action,romance comedy, adventure etc

Disney Movies (slipcase) , Anime (slipcase) and other kids movie (slipcase)

Tv Series

Steelbooks

Limited Edition,Giftset,Collectors Edition on one Shelves

Normal blurays (no slipcase) arranged by genre

Some titles have mixed genre. How do you sort if this is the case?

Sir vicsotto probably has the most extensive collection here.

Re:different genres

Haha thats the reason i went with the non-oc arrangement i have. Hirap kasi pabago bago isip ko so baka ilipat ko madalas sa ibang genre if more than one genre yung isang movie

[revas9]

ako hanggang benta lang pero ganito ang ayos ko :

1. steelbooks
2. 3d
3. boxed sets
4. slipcase
5. no slip
6. opened

if mixed genre, it depends if its a blockbuster movie i put them on the middle shelves if not at the bottom, or i sort them by artist

This is when I had around 30BDs. The rest of my DVD collection is arranged according to genre.

Then came my addiction to Steelbooks and Limited Editions

Then ran out of space and erected a new shelf.



Steelbooks on the main shelf. Collectibles on floating shelves. DVDs on the new shelf.

^ Impressive collection. I assume you have multiple editions/versions of titles, too? How do you arrange them?

[anya618]

wala nang paglalagyan ah 

[edwn1220]

I think the titles placed on your middle shelves are also your personal favorites.

Malamang sa inyo galing ni Ryan ang laman ng mga shelves na yan

I don't want to start a new topic since my question had something to do in organizing..

I had a few steelbooks and I just found out today that some (2 or 3) had a little bit of rust along the rib. I'm meticulous with regards to my small collection. Did any of you had this problem? How do you store steelbooks?
