Physical media are a lot sturdier than people say. I have diskettes and audio tapes of 30 years old that still work. I have zero optical discs ever go bad in all that time either. Zilch. Nada.

And this is why we must sail the high seas under the black flag.

Hollywood can kiss my ass

Never I’ll forget physical media I love collecting movies and TV shows on DVD and Blu-ray better than streaming services

Once physical media goes away: Me: time for piracy⚓🦜⛵

Physical media 4 life streaming isn't the answer

And now Sony is basically dead. When I google Sony I almost only get play station stuff as results and this is not doing very well either.

with prime and hulu and disney plus etc alll showing commericals there no different from tubi roku channel crackle those are free and show commericals too go figure

I hate the stigma that kids don’t care about old shows or physical media. I love old shows like ALF & The Flintstones, and I keep up with physical media news, even though I don’t have my own money to buy anything. I only have 4 Blu-Rays, none of which play in my Blu Ray player the barely works anyway. Luckily, they also came with DVDs. I was turned into an consistent Flintstones watcher and enjoyer due to the DVDs. The complete 80s/90s TMNT cartoon series collection is over $15 more online that it was when I got it from the store. Not to mention, that it’s not available fully on any streaming service.

We have the exact same taste in soda.

No problem, then if I should pay to not own the media, I will download without pay it, easy.

People need to fight back again this

Yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me.... lol 😆 🤣

i mean yeah, fuck those old turds like technology, we are superior now, we have everything online, losers

This is one way to look at it but Im pretty sure this is not the whole truth. There is lots of could have's would have's for my taste. Was Nintendo right? Obviously not. Imo they were greedy and they tried to start a bidding war between Philips and Sony. That is whtat the author of this video is not seeing because I presume he is a Nintendo fanboy. From the way I see it- Nintendo in 1990 had absolute monopoly on gaming. Everyone knew the CD was the future when it came to storage. So they tried to whore their way around with both Philips and Sony to see who would offer the better deal. Obviously none of them offered any good deal for Nintendo so basically a bidding and concession war between Phillips and Sony never happened. Nintendo seeing this continued to push expensive cartidges to their loyal customers thus continuing to milk the cow while pissing everyone else off. They soured relationship with the two giants at the time, they soured relations with their customers (some N64 cartriges retailed for 120 USD i kid you not) and finally they pissed off their developers who were all eager to tranfer to CDs. by 1994 Nintendo had all the resources to launch a CD based console. in 1994 many companies were producing CDs and CD roms. it wasnt just Sony and Philips by that time. Instead Nintendo decided to go greedy- instead of investing into producing a CD based console and chose to milk their customers to pay exuberant prices for their cartridges. In 1994 Sony had virtually no credibility and prestige in the gaming industry. Nintendo was the undisputed king of consoles. By this time Nintendo crushed SEGA. If Nintendo introduced the N64 with CDs - the Playstation would have been just another novelty and just based on Nintendo's prestige nobody would have wanted to deal with the Playstation because Nintendo, the Mercedes of games offered everything Sony was offering so there would be no reason for anyone to want a Playstation. Nintendo's biggest Mistake was the N64. While the Americans are more inert as consumers and while they still saw Nintendo as the brand to go with, the rest of the world saw the Playstation is the better option. The N64 sold well in the US thus maintaining this picture of Nintendo not doing bad but by this time even many Americans realized that the Playtation was the superior product and slowly but surely they all transitioned toward it leaving the Game Cube in the dust. By this time all great gaming developers were with Sony and all Nintendo had to offer was another Mario or Zelda and one doesnt buy a console just for 2 titles. So if we dabble in the would haves- I can literally say that Sony had no chance against an N64 with CDs. Zero chances. The mistake was not screwing Sony over but the mistake was not making the N64 with CDs. So Nintendo's dawnfall is literally their own mistake and nobody else. It was greed and miscalculation and understimating the fans and devs.

Years ago everyone said vinyl was dead. Not everyone can stream and there is also the current situation where streaming companies are either increasing prices or forcing commercials to subscribers. If you decide to quit you lose everything you had. Sort of the same before the VCR where all people had were the movies they watched in theaters or TV, and memories.

Censorship is the reason i wont be getting rid of my DVD collection any time soon

This video is excellent and doesn't hold back. These are the words needed on the subject. Lucas opened the floodgates on something terrible. Any changes to a finished and received work are immoral and anti art.

Cartridges please

I would recommend buying Nintendo stock, before the crazies do. I don't have a lot, about $2k, I know that's a lot for some people but single shares of NTDOY are about $12-14 right now. If many fans owned crumbs of the company, that's way less crumbs that say, the saudis or other big investment firms or MS can buy.

7:17 So THAT'S what the casual consumer look like! He's just a regular guy!

Great video man. Watched till end (rare for me) God bless 🙏

"They paved paradise and put up a parking lot" never held more meaning

I collect physical media, it is nice to have it in your own private collection. Streaming is not bad when your internet works! Iff it doesn't work you can whatch nothing, thats why i prefer the physical media! Greets from Marcel The Netherlands in Europe

It will come back round again. The streaming thing is a fad. My prediction is a commercial digital downloads service will come along how that will work I don't know maybe proprietary playback software or even hardware or even in the codec of the movie. I'd imagine a mixture of all 3. I can see apple doing it. Releasing some device with no outputs and no way to get outputs. So no way to record or retrieve from the machine. From there folks will be clamouring for a way to move their media. I can then see some sort of movies on a proprietary usb stick or sd card type thing coming along.

I bought Across the Spiderverse on blu ray yesterday, I'm buying all the Spider-Man movies on BD because my girlfriend hasn't seen them

It worked out better for both of them as seperate companies

I dont know man i find physical media too expensive to get into

rip your physical discs to a bunch of SSDs and run it all off of a home network, then you get the benefits of discs with the convenience of streaming, along with way more control in general

"You will own nothing and you will be happy."

Do a video about Nintendo being right for laughing and refusing to sell to Microsoft. Now that we know about the recent studio closures and how Microsoft buying Rare really ended up hurting Rare.

Need to come back vhs and dvd

Fucking LEGEND

When I follow these comments, I have noticed that people's attitude towards physical media has changed in a more positive direction in recent years. A few years ago, the majority of comments were that streaming is much easier and more convenient, and that the age of physical media is over. I personally believe that physical media will always have some place in audiovisual entertainment distribution, as it have clear benefits and advantages over streaming.

…and that is why I’ve kept all of the over two thousand DVD and Blu-ray Discs that I’ve collected over the years.

One thing I worry about now is - especially with climate change and energy issues - a company like Vudu or Apple could look at movies nobody ever streams or things that have very little play counts and delete them in order to reduce data center costs. They could start charging people a monthly subscription fee to access their redeemed titles. I think the model is going to be shifted in a way where there is more perpetual income, if not changed entirely to streaming-only and you can't own anything. Rentals or subscriptions only.

The biggest issue I’ve got with digital media is the ability to censor or edit a tv show / movie when it’s “too controversial”, and therefore tampering with art. A physical copy can never be changed

Well at times owning may be the only way to have what they decide is no longer OK.... Which is more reason to own it.

My favorite form of physical media is Educational physical media, like old science DVDs for schools. They make me happy

I want hollywood to forget i am pirating their movies

I still bye physical media but mainly on Amazon I get them at target when I see some

Blu Ray dvd rip

More like Hollyweird

I have been spending the last 20 years forgetting about Hollywood.

I only collect porn, it’s the only important thing to me. Everything else is secondary. I may have the largest porn collection known to man. Future generations will see all the hot bitches. I’ve been collecting since the 80s

Buy a dvd blu ray 4K whatever, rip it to my NAS put it on my plex server I have both

Also you forget to mention that except Netflix in the beginning no streaming company is making money at the moment. Streaming is the worst for everyone, the producers, the actors, the writers, the audience.

You can buy it for 20 and resell it for 18. And there are tons of great movies. Don't just fall for the advertisement that you need to see the newest onces. Mainstream you can get 1 dvd or 1 dollar.

I will NEVER buy Media online, because you don't own it then. You just get permission to use it until they delete it from their servers. Then it's gone. It is all bullshit. They're scamming us !!!

I have over 4k dvd/cd mixed along with a shelf of specifically disco and house records! Never give up the media even though i stream these days i still buy media of shows i like! #pmefs and #htmmoyt on my pinned video! 😊
