@@megamikethemovieman I think they're waiting for bigger titles to come out these days. The big 4K titles we've gotten so far is Ocean's Eleven and Major League, which aren't exactly enough to rain in sales of the format.
@@megamikethemovieman Not yet, but from images I've seen it looks alright I guess. The HDR is amazing but the transfer looks somewhat less detailed than the Blu Ray
Absolutely. Always got you covered on what is being released each month. Feel free to checkout my monthly preview videos and weekly hauls too so you know about all the cool releases. You collect alot of the marvel steelbooks?
Happy to be on the feed. Posting a video almost everyday so hopefully you’re seeing even more, if not, always stopping by subscriptions should show me. Your thoughts on the physical media numbers this week?
@@megamikethemovieman blu ray and 4k are too pricey for most. I love steelbooks but can’t get everything I want. Urgh I need to win the lottery to pay for this new addiction lol.
I don't understand it either once blu-ray came out DVD was a thing of the past for me. I guess it's because DVDs are cheap and more available in like dollar stores or Walmart. 4K is a different animal, you would have to upgrade to a brand-new 4K TV and player plus a sound system if you want to get the full UHD experience, a lot of people aren't going to spend that kind of money and think DVD is just fine for them.
Why don’t you think Blu-ray’s took off as much as DVDs? As you mentioned it’s not 4K price prohibitive. Are the prices really that much of a difference between DVD and Blu-ray?
I wonder how much the sales figures are affected by the Walmart effect. They have approximately 45% of the disc market and stock about 90% DVDs. If Walmart started really stocking 4k's rather than just a handful of steelbooks, I'm curious if they would begin to cause consumer buying habits to evolve. I'm also curious since they became the last big retailer selling 4k steelbooks how they are selling compared to the DVDs they stock. Everytime I'm at my local Walmart the 4k section is empty and the DVDs are fully stocked.
@@megamikethemovieman 4k's here are on the end aisle cap right by the rest of the movies. So they are kind of front and center and very easy to find and see. In fact they are the only movies you'll see just waking down the main aisle past the electronics area until you step into the dvd asile.
the reason why dvd are so high is that DVD's are mostly cheap. people do tend to get picky buying blu ray and 4k. I rarely by DVD's unless it a concert DVD. not many concert Videos are release on blu ray often. another factor is that some people haul DVD'S in places that sells them cheap. also one more major factor. tv shows are mostly on dvd and usually if it on blu rays. they are pricey as hell.
@@megamikethemovieman no but I have noticed that a lot of tv shows are released mostly on dvd. the problem with tv shows on blu ray is that it more expensives then dvd. a good example is the six million dollar man is over a 100 bucks on blu ray. now there are some dvd tv shows with more then 3 or 4 season cost more money. like the original Night Court. 8 or 9 season in one set almost 70 bucks. So if you buy a complete series on blu ray that is more then a couple of season. it will cost you alot more. shows that are less then 3 season are usually less then 50 or so. concert DVD's I do own alot of them. I've only havr at least 2 music related blu rays. one is a Alice Cooper concert film and a have concert and half documentary call Flight 666.
This is how sales numbers were before the pandemic. You can say that DVDs are sustaining the market right now. I know that a distributor said in an interview that collectors alone can not sustain the movie market. The casual moviegoers are needed. And older collectors who buy the DVDs are needed. But I firmly believe we'll end up being a niche market.🤔
I’m still shocked with how much DVDs are selling. Is the niche market for collecting 4Ks shrinking? Or is there just not enough new stuff for collectors to buy?
one of the probables is that thay only release some movies on dvd or blue ray ot always on 4k. the shops are reducing the space of them so that will have a negative impact on sales also the studeos dont want you to owen any of there content
@@megamikethemovieman No, I still buy Blu and a few 4Ks, but rarely pay more than $10 for either. There are some good deals at thrift shops occasionally.
@@megamikethemovieman Cheap price, easy to find, tons of exclusive special features and simple to explain to the casual buyers. Also they are backwards compatible with 4K players, so its easier to grab a DVD and upscale to a higher quality
How many T2 versions are out there. I wish on the 4k package they would state amount of grain and how it was remastered. Too bad in the Blu-ray format they didn’t have metadata to carry or add grain and have it adjustable. Some hate grain some like it.
I’m sure there’s many Blu-ray and DVD editions out there. For 4K, I only know of the standard and steelbook releases (at least state side). Have you picked any of those up?
@@megamikethemovieman Naw, I had the DVD then upgraded to blu-ray. Even though it is Cameron approved I don't trust that the 4K is worth the update and that the transfer is great plus I heard he doesn't like film grain which I kind of do.
The big 4K titles are just so massively overpriced for the most part and many popular TV shows are impossible to find for a reasonable price on blu-ray because they never seem to get reprints. Living in Europe I've been buying from different Amazon stores around the continent as the English version is completely unavailable or it is often much cheaper to buy from a different language market. Sure the box may be in French or German but the content on the disks is all the same. Smallville complete on blu-ray €250+ from UK stores, got it for €125 from France. Check your neighbouring foreign language markets people!
It’s BBC. Not BB. It’s the British Broadcasting Corporation. Over 100 years old as a global heavyweight. Whilst the world service might be their biggest impact, for an American you probably know The Office (it’s based on a U.K. version with Ricky Gervais), Sherlock (helped launch Benedict Cumberbatch), Fleabag (launched Pheobe Waller Bridge), Dr Who + countless films and nature documentary’s. David Attenborough (brother to Richard Attenborough, the Oscar Winning ‘welcome to Jurassic Park’ actor/director) is inarguably the greatest and most prolific nature documentarian of all time. I doubt there isn’t an animal on earth he hasn’t watched shagging. Watching this was painful. It would be like a Brit saying “What is this show Star Trek? Paramunt? Never heard of it
Unbelievable. Even streaming is generally tons better than DVD. DVD's haven't really been relevant for nearly 20 years, and are so inferior that I absolutely cannot fathom why anyone would buy them (except for old TV shows that weren't shot in a format that would benefit much from Blu-Ray). Almost every movie that more than 5 people like is available on at least regular Blu-Ray, and even more so in the US.
@@megamikethemovieman It's weird. Virtually everyone has a 1080p or 4k screen now. Regular Blu-ray players aren't expensive, and neither are the discs - at least during sales. 4k requires more of an investment, and the discs aren't that cheap, but regular Blu-ray should be the average Joe's go-to format.
@@megamikethemovieman I'm not sure why but it could be for these reasons: 1. A lot of people are stubborn or stuck in the past and refuse to move on to blu ray because they think they don't need blu ray/4K and are delusional. I think it's pride in some cases. 2. Most people just don't care if they're watching the best quality or not, quantity over quality and DVD is good enough for them. 3. DVDs are a lot cheaper, and most people are cheap as fuck hence why Walmart caters to that because they know this by heart (that's why they are a major conglomerate now). 4. People are just sick of the upgrading. Simple as that. Quality be damned. 5. More than likely, all of the above.
Again one of the major reasons why 4k & bluray are in decline. Is that there is still not enough catalog titles available on bluray & 4k still . And the reason why 4k is in decline is that the studios & small labels are not releasing enough new first time releases on 4k. Just catalog titles that already been releaes on bluray but now upgraded to 4k at a higher price tag. And the reason why bluray has declined now is the small labels are not investing in releasing more first time releases on bluray. But just releasing the same titles over again but now with a new 2k remaster of the film. Instead of investing more time and money into first time bluray catalog titles. I am not saying the studios or small labels need to stop upgrading catalog titles to 4k. But they all need to invest a little more money and time into more first time catalog titles on bluray & 4k. And then we would see higher market sales in blurays & 4ks. And a decline in DVD market sales once the studios & small labels started to do that. But as long as they keep pushing the same titles over and over we will.keep seeing these decline in bluray & 4k market sales.
@@megamikethemovieman do they even sell 1080p TVs anymore? DVDs looked ok when I played them on my Blu-ray player on my 1080p, but DVDs on a 4k player/TV look like utter trash.
It’s crystal clear that 8k will never be a thing or on Blu-ray media. The streaming requirement are unreasonable.
DVD's are legitimately carrying the physical media market right now. I wouldn't be surprised if they make up 75% by the time next week passes.
They used to be before the pandemic.🤔
I would be a little surprised if that much. Where do you think the collectors for the 4Ks are at?

But even new movies that come out to all formats, I see more of them on DVD in the store. Is that because that is mostly what people want to buy?
Simple answer why DVDs sales are increasing: inflation.
Why wouldn’t that increase Blu-ray and 4K sales though?
@@megamikethemovieman Because fewer people can now afford the higher price tag yet still want to be able to collect physical media.
@@1165mac Makes sense. 4Ks are very expensive these days. I know I’m always waiting for a sale or discount. Do you collect mostly just DVDs now?
@@megamikethemovieman No, I still buy Blu and a few 4Ks, but rarely pay more than $10 for either. There are some good deals at thrift shops occasionally.
Very few people have $30-50 for a 4K or Blu-ray. Most good blu-ray players upscale your dvd to very good experience.
Good point! Do you just collect DVDs then?
Very very hard to justify
Cost, Last year you could get most 4k with the blu-ray for under 28 bucks. To much for a single disc.
What price would be the max that you would pay for a 4K?
@@megamikethemovieman 25 for my favorite. I like Westerns, Sci-fi, and good rated transfers disc.
It seems like the more 4k I buy the less they sell.
I feel that way too sometimes. What do you think that’s causing the massive 4K drop in the market?
I stopped buying DVD's long time ago. Blu Ray and 4k is all I buy.
Why do you think most people are still buying DVDs though?

4k have jumped in price like crazy over the last year. I am NOT buying them like I used to. I’m waiting for sales
I always like to wait for the sales as well. Do you mostly pickup the studio titles or the boutique label releases of 4Ks?
