Taking into consideration your average purchase rate?
About a week.
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

Congratulations.  100 is a great milestone.  I just reached 396 after about 4 years of collecting.  Here is a question I bet you have asked yourself, because I know I have, will you replacing the majority of your DVD's with Blu?

I asked myself that multiple times...

The answer?

Started as: NO!
Then went to: Only on my Favorites!
Now is at: Only for Films that would take full advantage of Blu-ray visually!

So... I think the answer will ultimately end up being YES! by the time it is done and over with.

I've upgraded a good portion of my collection but I don't think it will amount to a majority given that there are still a lot of DVD titles that have yet to be released to Blu-ray.

Excuses, excuses. 

All kidding aside I have a number of duplicates I could send your way and I'm sure there are other members which can help you get to that 100 milestone sooner rather than later.

Blue-ray is 7.85% of my collection: 1640 titles.
I have and will replace those favorites where deemed worthy.

I think we are all trying to decide what is worthy and what isn't.  When I first started buying Blu I promised only new films.  Then I saw some of my older movies on Blu and said wow, I want this upgrade so it turned into well one here or there.  Then the collector kicked in and said just upgrade it all as possible.  Then I figured out what it would cost and went, if I hit the lottery otherwise not a chance.

Personally, I see Blu-ray as a elite format. I only buy Blu-rays of movies that are cult classics or movies that I absolutely love.

I think we've all done this.

Mine was something along the lines of:
* Only favourites
* New titles to the collection
* Movies with lots of dark scenes
* Action/sci-fi
...then I got a new receiver
* Musicals
...then a region-unlockable player:
* Titles I'd skipped because they were Region-A exclusive & locked (i.e. A Trip to the Moon, Godzilla, Deadwood... still wanting Black Mask & The Storm Riders)
