I hear you there.

I’ve got no display space left and I’m going to run out of storage space for unopened ones now too. Going to have to go through the horrible task of packing away some of my older ones to make room to display newer ones. Or find a bigger place.

I honestly haven’t been collecting DVDs with the same enthusiasm as I used to, though. Mainly I feel like if I’m grabbing a DVD release of a show I watched fansubbed at 720p then I’m paying for an inferior product (even if it’s not really). There’s still very little good stuff released in english on Bluray too. I’ve been importing the Japanese Studio Ghibli BD releases and grabbed the Rakkyo box, but that’s about it for my real collectors releases. I actually sometimes wish that more Japanese BD releases had subtitles. Those subs are surely available somewhere since in many cases the shows are simulcasting on streaming sites, so it always seems wierd to me that the Japanese companies don’t add a simple subtitle track and gain a fair number of added international customers. I guess they don’t want to scare off potential US licensors, but Japanese BD prices are so high that it’s only dedicated collectors that would import them anyway.

I guess on the other hand that my wallet probably appreciates the lack of subtitled JP BD releases though.
