Hey, thanks for the kind words, weddingsingr! I'm only too glad to brighten up anyone's day.

You're welcome gonz. I just hope my Top 10 list would also make some of the readers laugh. The only thing with our lists is that those non-DVD oriented people would not be able to understand them. Kasi one of my officemate saw me laughing while reading your list and he looked at my monitor to see why. He start reading your list but could not find the joke in it. I had to explain it pa to him.

Baka naman business niya iyon. Wise siya kung net income at hindi net gastos in the end.

Kung personal collection niya lahat or at least most of it eh malala na iyon.

My new Top 10 list:

10. You move things out of your room to make more room for your DVDs.

9. DVD has graduated from "Nice to have, can live without" to "Cannot live without".

8. Your "To Do" list always contains something related to DVDs.

7. Discussions on LD, VHS, and VCD give you goosebumps. You never visit the VCD and VHS areas of Astro Vision and any other video store.

6. You sing songs like "And I won't last a day... without you..." to your DVD.

5. Spending more on your DVDs is almost like cheating your wife - you keep it a secret from her and when she finds out, you fight about it. You defend yourself by saying "Ito na nga lang ang libangan ko eh... buti nga hindi ako nambababae tulad ng iba..."

4. You get furious when you discover that a lot of the titles in your collection have DVD rot. You cool your head by ordering/bidding/buying more DVDs.

3. Your DVD (equipment and titles) is your most cherished possession. DON'T TOUCH MY DVD!!! Laitin mo na ang pamilya ko, kahit ako, huwag lang ang DVD ko.

2. You become nice and not naughty the whole year believing (or starting to believe again) that Santa Clause will grant you your wishlist on Christmas.

1. YOU KEEP ADDING THINGS TO THIS THREAD.

Ngyeehhhh... no. 1... malala na pala ako.

Cool forum guys. This thread caught my eye first...

* When your notion of bad news changes. Forget about kidnapping, typhoons, devaluation, etc. The worst news is any announcement of yet another special edition of a disc you already have.

* When you own multiple versions of the same title, because some have a unique feature, or more likely because no one wants to buy your old, feature-challenged disc (sob)

* When you know, just know, that the studios will discover (or invent) a word more ultimate than "Ultimate"

* When the first observation of strangers who come to your house is, "Mahilig pala kayo sa sine"

* When your friends and relatives calculate the cost of your collection and figure you could have bought a car or made a down payment on real estate

* When the majority of your discs are unopened, for fear of unsealing one just when they are about to announce another special edition

* When you have computed your upcoming free time to watch your DVDs, and realize that you cannot possibly go through your collection this year or next. Even if you don't include watching all the multiple angles of Fight Club. And yet you haven't stopped buying.

* When Amazon has half a dozen different addresses attached to your name, representing all the drop-off points of friends and relatives who are spending a couple of weeks in the States

* When you have more DVDs than your neighborhood rental store, yet you prioritize watching their collection, especially of discs you don't want to open (see above)

* When you read "Just Say No" you think the sign is advising you to ignore those new upcoming special editions

Cheers

You know you've too many DVDs when...

...you purchase an average of three DVDs per week -- and you don't even have a DVD player yet.

...you have over $350 worth of pre-orders in your Amazon shopping cart -- and you don't yet have a job.

...you spend more time posting on PinoyDVD than you do sending out your resume.

...the number one item on your Christmas wish list is a portable DVD player.

...you spend three hours exploring an Infinifilms menu and help system, and you are totally entertained without even playing the movie.

...you watch Band of Brothers on HBO and you wish you had a way to record the show in real time directly to DVD.

...sometimes you just run your fingers lovingly up and down the spines of your DVDs as they sit on your shelf.

...you make embarassingly personal confessions about your DVD addiction to total strangers on PinoyDVD.

Aray ko... sapul ata ako duon ah.

Heto pa in line with Christmas...

10. You try your best to be nice and not naughty so Santa will grant your DVD list.

9. You have a made to order stocking to hold all your DVD you are wishing from Santa Claus.

8. You think of good presents for people to increase the possibility of receiving DVDs from them as presents.

7. You stock up on DVD gifts for Christmas (e.g. Snow White - may tinamaan ata ako duon ah).

6. You use DVDs as Christmas ornaments on your Christmas tree.

5. Instead of a star on top of your Christmas tree, you have a DTS, THX, or Dolby Digital plaque instead.

4. You have a long list of DVD titles to make parinig to your significant other (para iyon ang iregalo sa iyo).

3. You spend the entire holidays watching your new DVDs.

2. You play a different DVD about Christmas everyday.

1. You don't feel bad if you don't receive any DVDs as gifts for Christmas - inubos mo na kasi ang bonus/savings mo sa pagbili ng DVDs.

10. You contribute a substantial annual donation to the fledgling “DVD Rot Prevention Society of America.”

9. (In connection to the previous statement) You conduct regular terrorist attacks on WAMO headquarters.

8. You’ve written a “DVD Legacy” tome for your children to take up and follow right after you die.

7. You buy pirated DVDs because they’re just another version.

6. You’ve saved up all your money for nothing but DVDs. In the eventual moment of starvation, you finally succumb to the hunger and eat the inlays and catalogues from your DVD cases.

5. You can attribute every important moment of your life to single DVDs. “Ah, I remember watching this when I had my urinary track infection…”

4. Your entire collection is contained in an airtight, sterilized, password-protected, pressure sensitive room that even Ethan Hunt couldn’t get through.

3. Amazon, Buy.com, Express, and other online stores are competing against each other to become your exclusive retailer.

2. You make several once-overs on the way your DVDs are stacked, realizing soon after that it all “means something.”

And the number one indication that you’ve got too many DVDs… (Drum roll)

1. You adopt your DVDs, send them to school, buy them a car when they graduate, cry at their wedding, and enjoy the company of little DVD-lets a year after. (If that happens, you should quit the heavy stuff, man. Far out)

Pang New Year naman...

10. You play all your DVDs with fireworks all night on New Year's Eve instead of lighting up fireworks.

9. You develop your own ritual (e.g. place a printout of your wishlist DVDs under your pillow) that would increase the chances of you getting more DVDs next year.

8. You buy a lot of DVDs with the justification that at least your not burning your money like what happens if you spend your money on fireworks.

7. You have a form of clothing with DVDs printed on it (instead of it having full of dots to represent money).

6. You have a made-to-order fireworks that form the word DVD, DTS, THX or Dolby.

5. You move your DVD collection to a vault to protect it from any possible damage due to intense smoke, fire, or even stray bullets.

4. Dec. 30 - Jan. 1 gives you the opportunity to watch the new DVDs you got/bought for Christmas.

3. You reach the wee hours of the morning of Jan. 1 just greeting each of your DVDs Happy New Year.

2. Instead of a rubber tire, you burn all your excess or rotten DVDs just for fun. You also attach some to strong firecrackers just to see how they explode.

1. You New Year's resolution is never to buy DVDs next year - as if naman you will fulfill it.

Your local rental shop, asks if they can rent your collection to the public, and splits the rental income with you 50/50

from a recovering dvd addict's point of view
You know you've have too many DVDs when...

you're trying to look for a 7 step program for you dvd addiction...

you get the shakes when you go to a dvd store and did not buy any dvd's

when you do get the urge..you pile up those dvd orders on your amazon shopping cart and when its time to confirm the order, you would suddenly turn off your computer...then give a sigh a relief...

tuesday seems to be the hardest day for you....

you look at your dvd collection and get this feeling of guilt...like people who are starving in africa, and have not yet experienced watching a dvd movie

thanks for resurrecting this thread...starman
i needed a good laugh

If you donate some of your discs as souvenir for the marathon.

weddingsingr · « **Reply #42 on:** Oct 29, 2001 at 11:51 PM »

You order/pre-order all the Superbit Editions available with the their corresponding non-Superbit Editions just so you can make a good comparion.

You have the Region 1-6 release of particular titles just to make your collection more complete.

You have the first release and all the succeeding re-releases of particular titles even if there is no difference in the quality of the audio and video - trip mo lang.

You have a DVD version of all the Beta, VHS, and VCD titles you have collected earlier in life.

...your solution to lack of DVD storage space is getting shipping boxes from Astro (Warner's is the choice).

...and you have to come back for them to have enough boxes to fill your requirements!

if u can't understand what a person is saying, u respond back by saying "paki switch nga sa dts"

you call your caucasian friends as "region 1", and your pinoy friends "region 3"

u find a sexy girl na malaki yun (ahem)..and u say "wow, widescreen" (sorry for the sexist remark hehe)

your girlfriend asks the inevitable question "what makes me different from your past girlfriends"..u answer back "well, special edition ka!"

...btw, this does happen to me!

aray ko, halos lahat ata yun tinamaan ako

...when part of your daily morning text includes "pareng PARC,Benny,Emildjr ; kailan ba ang dating ng mga orders ko?"

...when PARC,Benny,Emildjr don't even ask you where you are going to transact since they've done it tons of times

...when your relatives abroad don't even tell you when they are coming home since the last time they had trouble packing your DVDs

...when you send roses to your DVDs instead of your wife on valentines day (not that i did this

)

...when you like to keep most of your DVD's sealed so that when your friends want to borrow , you just tell them "sealed pa pare eh, iba nalang"

...when you sell your precious toy collection cheap in order for you to acquire more DVDs

...when you watch a movie and the 1st thing that comes to mind is, "kailan kaya lalabas sa Amazon to?"

and finally,

...when you are able to post so much answers to : "you know you have too much DVDs when...."
