When my wife and I first met, we had probably 250-300 DVD's. After a few years that was closer to 400. We eventually realized we didn't watch most of it and sold a good deal of them. Probably kept 100, mostly stuff we thought we'd watch (National Lampoon's movies, Elf, Back to the Future, all her Disney movies). That lasted a few years when we realized that we didn't watch those either. In the end, we sold them all for $2-3 each. It was fun getting a few grand, but we also realized we lost a shit ton of money overall. Much better to just get Netflix for streaming, Redbox for anything new, and download stuff I can't find anywhere else (which is pretty rare nowadays).
So my advice is to offload them at a yard sale while you still can get something for them.

We have a few hundred, only buy the good stuff lately (and only on blu-ray). I find that I never watch a movie a second time, but stuff like Game of Thrones I will always watch again.

20TB NAS mirrored raid drive, upgrade to 100TB in 5 years to accomodate 4k, fuck storing shit. I still buy really good blurays to support movies/etc I like and give em away as gifts, but download everything for personal consumption.
Only thing that gets me hopping mad is how not a single other person in real life will acknowledge how 1080p is clearly superior to 1080i or 720p from streaming sources/DVR, but its all of them who are wrong and not me I KNOW THE TRUTH. "NOOOOOO LETS NOT WATCH THIS ON NETFLIX GIVE ME AN HOUR TO TORRENT THE 1080P RIP ITS SO MUCH BETTER" but nobody listens

Um why spend an hour downloading when you can just watch it right away? The world isn't going to end.

Yes, it's your wireless most likely. I moved back in May. At my old place, it was a wired connection from my computer to the router, wireless to the Boxee. Now it's wireless both ways and buffering issues have been cropping up. Audio stream content might be a factor too.

Whereas you plan to enjoy Elf hundreds of more times in your life? Whatever man, I still have my Stanley Kubrick box set from when they first released all that shit on DVD and every thing except 2001 was in fuckingmono...ugh.

All my jars of cold winter air are recorded by temperature (Celsius) on a spreadsheet and put into numbered boxes in my crawlspace. When I want my cool down my home to a specific temp, I just pull out the box its in.
