@@megamikethemovieman I guess it all depends on the success of it, but with just mainstream titles SDS carries at full MSRP or close I’ll be shocked if it drives much extra foot traffic into the store. To be honest having a viable used movie inventory would drive more traffic than a handful of new release titles. I guess we’ll see how it goes.
@@timtalkstalkies So kind of like a half priced books setup? If they were discounted I could see some selling. Used game selling was a major driving force of GameStop right?
I liked your improv there, Mike, with the ‘discount charm’ 😂 I hope that GameStop starts carrying a lot of movies with reasonable prices, because I will go there more frequently.
I know right, does that ever happen to you when recording/streaming, Sometimes you just got to roll with it? 🤣 I hope GameStop does a good job with all this. I will be happy to go there over Walmart if they have a substantial amount of titles at reasonable prices.
@@megamikethemovieman yes, sometimes I have some distractions during livestreams. I’ve checked GameStop’s site and saw Dune Part Two, but only on Blu Ray. I found the 4K at Walmart though
@@excelsiormoviereviews I’m sure it will look and sound great on 4K! Was it the steelbook or slipcover you got? I wonder if GameStop won’t sell 4Ks because they think they’re too expensive?
@@megamikethemovieman mine has a slipcover and Walmart had it in a security case that I had to take to the service desk to have removed after I paid for it.
Amazon has a deal now with certain titles 3 for 33 dollars. Don’t have any Fred Myers in area. Stores always discount DVDs to make room for new titles. On line is a good idea.
It’s probably going to be a clearance bucket of Blu-ray’s/DVD’s. It seems like the Physical Media distributors are running out of warehousespace and getting desperate to find a home for their products before Christmas.
Cool but I bet the trading value is going to be horrible for the DVDs & blu-ray. The most value for trade-ins will probably be 4K. You’ll probably get a 1$
I’m thinking trade ins will really only be for those movies people just can’t stand in their collection anymore. But couldn’t they get more off like an eBay? Do you think that will encourage GameStop to give a little more?
I love Gamestop. I would always get my switch games from there. I hope they carry dvds. I am done with buying video games because of all the hoops and not completed games on the disc or cartridges. I will get the pro membership to get the $5 coupons per month to put into buying dvds.
@@megamikethemovieman I hope so. It be awesome if Gamestop treat the movie collections like the video games like you mentioned. Early pre-order movies and get some kind of collector's prize. Have collectors edition and Gamestop exclusive movie package. I still have the compass for ordering Metro: Exodus, the letter opener sword for Sekiro: Shadows die twice, Stickers from the Mario games, postcards from Triangle Tragedy, and other games... I was wondering how Gamestop can make a come back. These movies will get people like us back into their stores. Even if I use the $5 coupons once a month. At least I can make a video to let others like us to go into Gamestop again. The last thing I bought was the Nintendo Switch "Pokemon" edition when I was in Florida. I live in California now. th-cam.com/video/OSF5ORq-Nn4/w-d-xo.html
@@JonTalksEverythingPodcast yeah I know they're not what they used to be 10 or 12 years ago. Rich of Review Tech has been closing them down for years and yet they're still around lol!🤣 But they're hurting. We'll see what this movie selling business will do. But it's probably going to be the most mainstream and cheap movies that everybody has or don't want. No boutique labels or anything. We'll see.🤑
This may sound great for movie collectors but I think it's gonna be detrimental to Game Stop it's gonna fail. My local videogames stores Game Craze used to buy movies to resell and had new ones too. At the end the stores had a crap load of movies that weren't selling because they were the common mainstream ones. No Anchor Bay no Severin no Arrow etc. Result? Most of the stores closed down full of movies. There's only one Game Craze in this city and 2 in other cities left. I think Game Stop is going to make the same mistake. Unless they just sell new movies and bring LOTS of boutique labels they're destined to fail. I'll take my business there so I can be proven wrong and that they'll do it right and succeed.🤑 Good topic and cool video Mike!👉🙂👈
@@megamikethemovieman if they know about boutique labels they most probably go with Vestron, Scream Factory, Mill Creek and so on. I think they'll pick the cheapest which is not necessarily bad to begin with. But since I've seen on you tube videos media stores that sell Vinegar Syndrome, Severin, Blue Underground, Arrow, Synapse heck even Second Sight, Imprint, Umbrella, Power House etc. that are foreign. But I'm almost sure they'll will not bring any of these labels.🤑
@@HECTORMONTALVO-le9cn Ya agreed. Would be shocking to see Vinegar Syndrome on their shelves. But cool if they did something to differentiate from Walmart. How can they be different Walmart? They are going to have to test some stuff out.
But they usually have a reward system where you get like a $5 coupon each month. That’s still better than Walmart right? Unless they get rid of their reward system?
Yea Mike. WALMART is safe. GameStop may be a helpful Wild Card right now. 🃏 Is physical media on its deathbed? Not exactly. Will Walmart keep it alive (at least for a while)? Yes. Will GameStop help? Probably. Could some random shops help? Maybe. Will amazon continue to keep DVD available? Yes. Will physical media ever be what it was? Sadly, no.
@@megamikethemovieman There actually is a GS about 10 minutes from where I live. Why not? Not to digress too much, but we have the classic example of PS 2. In 1999, SEGA looked like they might have a chance of coming back with the Dreamcast.. But PS 2 destroyed any chance of SEGA coming back to life. Why? Because you could play your DVDs on your PS 2. Games CAN make a difference.
@@eternalhalloween1 Absolutely. I think if they marketed more that way, it would help even more. This is a player for games and movies. Because a lot of people nowadays probably don’t know their game systems play movies. If they adjust the marketing that could really make a difference. I wonder why Sony doesn’t push the movie side of stuff more since they have PlayStation and Blu-ray’s?
I’m definitely interested to see what GameStop will actually do with physical media such as Blu-ray’s and 4ks.
Would you shop there for your physical media?
GameStop has a history of throwing things at the wall and abandoning it or scaling it back if it doesn’t pay off big.
What are the chances you think they actually stick with this plan?

SIGN UP for the damn rewards
Are you a fan of those GameStop offerings? 🤣

3 for $33 is that for 4Ks?
@@megamikethemovieman yes
This is great news for physical media. I always go to Gamestop to get games on disc so this is a huge plus for someone who loves DVD collecting
That’s awesome, now you can pick up both at the same time. Do you think they well sell all disc formats?
@@megamikethemovieman I think they definitely will. But the DVD section will 100% be bigger than the Blu Rays I feel
It’s probably going to be a clearance bucket of Blu-ray’s/DVD’s. It seems like the Physical Media distributors are running out of warehousespace and getting desperate to find a home for their products before Christmas.
Would you still buy from those discount bins though? If it’s a good Blu-ray.
@@megamikethemovieman probably not. I never go into GameStop. Last time I was in a GameStop it was called FUNKOLAND.
Gamestop used to sell movies before. They had a used movie section it was a long time ago idk why they got rid of it.
Did you ever pickup any used movies from them? I wonder if they will have a combination of new and used this time?
@megamikethemovieman Yeah, I did and sold or traded in movies. It would be great if they had both new and used.
@@djhaack9239 How was the trade value they gave back? I can’t remember exactly, but I thought they didn’t give much back for games.
@megamikethemovieman Yeah, I don't really remember, but probably not much like games are.

GameStop is struggling so much so we don't know how much longer they will be around for and this is another try to save the company
People have been saying Game Stop is dead since 2012 or so.🤑
@@HECTORMONTALVO-le9cn true but I have seen reports where they have closed some stores and it's not looking good for them

Hallelu .....LA?
Will they carry 3D movies?
Great question, not sure. Do they still release a lot of 3D movies?
It won't last eb games did it in the 2000s with dvds then stopped
Were they not selling much? Was it new or used DVDs?
Gamestop will make you pay full price trust me.
would be really nice to have a good discount on used discs.
But they usually have a reward system where you get like a $5 coupon each month. That’s still better than Walmart right? Unless they get rid of their reward system?
@@megamikethemovieman True it might be worth joining for me as I buy far more movies than I do games.
This is nothing new tho GameStop used to carry physical media and abandoned it
I used to buymy DVDs and sell my DVDs from GameStop in the early 2000s
Why do you think they are going to bring it back then?
@@megamikethemovieman desperate for money I would say. Physical games don’t sell like they used to
@@michaelmyersplays4992 Makes sense. Do you think GameStop will go out of business?
