PlushCow posted:What about a cd binder and getting rid of the cases??? Just getting rid of the case? There's a perfectly good cover to cut down into a square so it can go into the CD sleeve as well. Just did it for all my Criterions, and now onto my steelbooks.

This thread is the opposite of a forum I read regarding blu ray releases. It's amazingly refreshing to read about people doing this with collections vs being angry the blu ray didn't come with a slip cover.

I take all my blurays out of the case and put them in a bunch of numbered cd jewel cases which I keep in a big file cabinet with a binder of what film corresponds to which number

Redeem the digital code and toss the rest imo

I don't do binders but I toss slip covers immediately. Though I do the same with books so I'm just a monster in general.

Whenever I see a book without a dust cover at a thrift store I think to myself what kind of a monster owned this? Well now I know.

I had a couple purchase some Blus and they asked if I would re-use the cases. I can (we replace beat up cases with cleaner ones), so I said yes, so they took the discs and left.

Their entire movie collection probably consists of three reused 100-pack DVD spindles. It’s the most space-efficient way!

Once you've cut one in half, tape it up with some duct tape, and you've got yourself a couple of disc pockets that you can squeeze a bunch of discs into. Just make sure you keep them right side up.

I just buy blurays for the digital codes, throw the cases away, cut up the covers for collages, and use the discs as coasters.

I usually bring them on one of those big spindles they use to put CD-Rs on because you'll inevitably lose a bunch of them.

I buy all my movies on 8mm. That way, I get the best quality, no digital compression, and I only have a minimal fire hazard.

If 8mm had been more popular some stupid company like Mondo would have released a very expensive limited edition verison of that movie on 8mm film.

Make sure that's what it actually was. We had a creepy guy retire several years ago and the one thing he left in his locker was a VHS tape labeled [Event] 1996. We played it to make sure that's actually what it was.
