I've never stopped buying physical movies, but I've slowed down a little, I'm rather happy with my collection, Same with retro games. Goodwill is my favorite store for picking up physical movies.
Keep in mind that depending on the production process, DVD & BlueRay Discs have a deterioration rate of anywhere from 5-20 years. it may seem like a long time, but the 90s are 20 years ago. 🙂
if made perfectly and stored properly, i think it should live even longer. my oldest CD is from 1994 (30yr), VCD from 1996 (28yr), and DVD from 1999 (25yr). we'll see if BD can live as long, as we know that HD-DVD has severe issue of degradation. i honestly fear the most for 4K BD though, as its created during the time of which disc pressing facilities are dwindling... 😢
I managed to find Animatrix blu-ray /w the trilogy for $4. I picked it up despite already owning the 4k versions of the trilogy + Ressurections since I never saw the Animatrix. Once I start my new job.. I'mma start dvd / blu-ray / retro game buying.
Yeah, all of The Matrix movies are on Max (formely HBO Max). The only reason I have Max is because of the AT&T phone plan that we have is included. I got The Matrix on just about every format except for PSP. I wish The Matrix Resurrections was a better movie than what we got. Some things in it were interesting, but overall TMR was a forced studio movie that made me not wanna watch it again nor own it. Even when it was in the 5 dollar bin at Wal-Mart!!! Lol The Beast Wars era of Transformers was always my favorite. That's what made me amped for the Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (best live-action Transformers imo) movie. I gotta revisit what happened after Beast Wars and watch Beast Machines one day. I never watched the entire series, but I remember it being a bit less appealing than Beast Wars.
Watching your video and out of curiosity I had my Xbox on and looked up that Transformers game in the online store and despite showing it, it’s not available… so yea totally physical copies of media is definitely the way.
@@TheStengah Do you realize that a DVD, an HD, a SSD, or whatever, are "physical supports" to store data and that the digital data is the same? To have a "file" (a movie, a book, a music) with the freedom to put it where you want and to use it how and when you want, then it is what people usually associate to the good aspect of a "physical media". If you don't have fredoom to use it as you want than it is "volatile" media. If and I am able to use a "media" on every device and put it on whatever storage I want then I call this physical media because I "physically" own it. Where these files arrive, from a DVD or downloaded from internet, etc., is irrelevant because, as I pointed before, you can have a DVD without the freedom to use it, and an HD is a physical support too.
@@nifftbatuff676I suppose it counts and I will not judge because I got ROMs on my micro SD cards. Everyone has a preference. Point being, physical media is best.
Cool thing about owning your own movies, VHS, DVD Blue-Ray whatever format, it will be yours and it will never be altered in any way. As same for music steaming companies can decide to take the content offline without warning leaving you unsatisfied willing to watch the movie that is no longer available. Streaming sucks .. physical rocks.
Around 15 years ago, I used VHS as my way to watch films that I either never saw or hadn't seen in a long while. Tapes were only a dollar each, and i didn't have any streaming services at the time. While I had DVDs and blurays, I ended up getting rid of most of them due to working too much. I kept my documentaries, but podcasts became the new "special features" that I became accustomed to when I wanted to learn about movies, shows, and games. I also had to sell some of my rare physical media after changing jobs. Late last year, when I couldn't find any tapes, there were thousands of DVDs and blurays. It made me remember loving the special features that I missed. In January, there was a day that I spent $76 for 41 tapes, 40 DVDs, and 10 blurays. I even managed to find some physical media that I once lost. I currently have around 450 tapes. I'm not sure how many discs I have. The only streaming services i use are TH-cam, Pluto TV, and Tubi.
I’m glad this was recommended to me. I constantly buy dvds of movies I loved. I have a friend whom never saw The Patriot, he rented it for $3.99 on Amazon that weekend. 72 hours to watch it. This guy watched the Patriot three times. At goodwill a month later, looking through the DVDs and find the same movie for $3. Hard copies are the best
I feel so validated, I never moved onto BluRay and I’ve rediscovered my love for my DVD collection recently. This video made me so happy. Great video as always! Never be a Cipher 😂😂😂
But why? I can understand collecting bluray since the resolution is best you can get for a normal size screen at a right distance and you have lossless audio. DVD video resolution and the compression codecs for both sound and video are just too noticeably inferior.
@@eufrosniad994 For me, it's cheap, I never threw out my 100+ DVDs and it gives me a bit of nostalgia with the inserts and special features and wild menu design that I find lacking in more modern physical media. But most importantly, it's cheap lol
@skywalkerhunter95 yup I take my fav parts of 4k movies and put onto vcd because they play on sega saturn 1994 to pc 1998 to oppo Blu ray players 2018. Just audio cd that has 320x240 video :)

If the grid goes down we will need the physical media again. Exactly!
Great video! It's nice to see people appreciate physical media still. My dvd collection is over 120 and counting.
Great video, DVD is so nice and cheap when you just want to watch a movie... been getting back into VHS here lol.
How was Rebel Moon ? 🤣🤣
BEAST WARS!

Blu rays and physical I get, but watching most DVDs on a large tv……absolutely forget it.

I still have nightmares from the unskippable ads at the beginning of the DVDs. The only physical media that I want to have are the files in my HDs.
So no physical media then? You realize that's not physical media right? Can't tell if this is a dumb joke.

I used to have hundreds of dvds before I moved out of my parents house. I sold most of them and regret it now.
I’m still buying laserdiscs
