A charity shop close to me has started selling all their non boxset dvds for 10p! It's been a great way to pick up some titles on a whim or just to give them a try without having to invest much cash. If I like them enough I can always pick up a blu ray at a later date. The selection is small but I reckon I've picked up around 6/7 over a few weeks. I picked up Trainspotting 2 the other day.
Some really bargains out there if you take a few mins out to look further than the streaming menu screens I need to stop being so precious about the formats, I’ve turned my nose up at DVD too many times in the past, think I’ve missed out on some real bargains and treasures because of it.

Yeah, I defo need to investigate the charity shops and flea markets a little more there’s bargains out there if you’re willing to take a look around rather than just sitting glaring into the abyss of the streaming menu screens.
It is amazing how much cheaper some things are physically than digitally. I find it especially cheaper to buy games physically (when its an option) over digital because you can buy them for the same price or much cheaper if you wait for a bit.
@@AlexGreat321 absolutely, those physical titles sure do plummet. Especially this time of year, on the run up to Christmas we’ve got the Black Friday shenanigans and then the multi buy deals from some retailers. A little patience can save a lot. I’ve seen it with computer games too. As soon as they drop out of favour, those prices rapidly drop. Picked up a PS4 title for a fiver not so long back. I’ve seen the digital drop no more than to around £7.99 🤷🏼♂️
I used to have netflix and it has virtually no movie i was interested in. I'd rather pay £20 and buy a blu ray or 4k movie I want to own than spend £10 a month and watch nothing.
@@garyrobinson8665 i used to try and watch the Netflix exclusives… truth of the matter is that for me, few and far between I’ve actually really enjoyed.

I think having at least one streaming service, even if you go all physical, is still a great idea cuz you can discover lots of cool stuff thrown at you by the algorithm and give it a try before buying it physically
@@PoleTooke absolutely. I think keep switching them off and on is the best way with streaming, can’t watch everything all at once. I still do use iTunes and digital purchases too. All depends on the titles and the cost. There’s some amazing deals at times on iTunes.

I sometimes buy digital cause it save me money on out of print title or collectors sets. I got sidekicks on digital 4k for 2.99 instead of paying 60 for a 4k of movie I just want to watch once in awhile
I get your point here and do feel that it's hard for one person to really get the most out of multiple streaming services. But, for those of us with families the range of content available is far cheaper than buying physical media all the time. And for those of us that are trying to have a more restrained approach to collecting, the streaming services over a valuable opportunity to try before you buy. Or to scratch that itch when you want to watch something but don't need to own it. I think this, and the amount of exclusives, make them an ideal partner to buying physical media. I feel they are a helpful tool for those of that watch your channel who are concerned about the addictive nature of collecting. ❤

@@lippmb78 thanks Anthony I don’t think I’ll actually be cancelling any services. It’s given me food for thought but my kids love having Disney and Netflix on tap… and honestly, they do get good usage out of them. I have my digital (working away) selection. I’m not worried about losing the digital bits, if a movie is that important to me I’ll get it physical. Think it’s just a case of considering options / availability when you’re deciding to either subscribe to something / rent it digitally or buy a physical copy. I think I’m guilty of taking the easiest path rather than considering all the options.
Great video!!! I’m right there with you, but try to just have one streamer a month with more intention. Prime seems to be an easy one to forget about though since it’s so cheap (only $10AU)

Yes and no 🤔 depents how much you watch/buy movies and where you live. Sure, (used) dvd and bluray releases are cheap after a while, if you live in , or near, a big city.

Your monthly outgoings on streaming services are obviously for the benefit of your wife and children. I would hazard a guess that your family have little to no interest in your physical media collecting habits. You are in a minority like all of us who collect.
@@outpost3178 truth. Yeah the kids absolutely make use of Disney and Netflix. Amazon prime we have mainly as benefit along with the feee shipping.

@@PhillwithadoubleLAgree with you on Apple TV. Excellent content and picture & sound quality is outstanding for a streaming service. Certainly better than the usual suspects.
£40 on streaming services per month is mental imo. No way ☝️. Surely you would be better off buying cheap digital titles as you don't want to fill your shelves with more physical media do you 🤷
@@MattVs_Movies to be honest Matt, each of the services kinda has a reason to exist for me. The kids whoop the sh!t out of Disney and Netflix.

Moving forward with the collecting it will be considered what I keep but I won’t stop picking up !
We were once paying upwards of £100 a month for Sky not so long ago, which was plastered in adverts, I don’t think £40 is a big deal in comparison. Not to mention, you can drop in and out as you please, rotate the services to keep the costs down even more.

I don’t think I’ll actually be cancelling any services. It’s given me food for thought but my kids love having Disney and Netflix on tap… and honestly, they do get good usage out of them.
I have my digital (working away) selection. I’m not worried about losing the digital bits, if a movie is that important to me I’ll get it physical.
Think it’s just a case of considering options / availability when you’re deciding to either subscribe to something / rent it digitally or buy a physical copy. I think I’m guilty of taking the easiest path rather than considering all the options.
Great video!!! I’m right there with you, but try to just have one streamer a month with more intention. Prime seems to be an easy one to forget about though since it’s so cheap (only $10AU)
@@trashonvideo thanks man.
I would absolutely try to stick with just one service at a time but I can’t really do it to the family. The kids absolutely rinse a couple of the services. The wife wants to keep prime for the delivery aspect… I will however look at the tiers and maybe get them a little lower.
I dont support streaming services and only buy physical
@@alexgrayisaligman there have been some ok things on streaming exclusive. But generally… only ok.
I want to make sure my focus falls to physical again, of course I’m a collector so really should start looking at the back log rather than the new kinda average movies that streaming offers.
1. I pirate the movies
2. I put the movies onto a disk
3. I print out the covers so it looks real
4. I put it on the shelf.
5. I keep a backup copy on several HDDs
6. Boom! Physical and digital media for almost no cost.
50$ x 12 per year...😢
@@MuhamadNazrin-y6b it gets away from you a little doesn’t it when we subscribe to these services thinking it’s only $10 a month… and then you do that several times and suddenly it’s mounting way up.
@@PhillwithadoubleL yess, then we cannot hold a thing + the movie moving around among the stream services and sometimes restricted by locations
Yes and no 🤔 depents how much you watch/buy movies and where you live. Sure, (used) dvd and bluray releases are cheap after a while, if you live in , or near, a big city. I live middle of nowhere so no matter how cheap the movie is theres always those shipping cost (4,20e-7e) that rise the prices 😥👎
@@DVDhoarder my recommendation buying in a bulk should be good for shipping fee..some market offer free delivery after a bulk of purchase eg amazon..save you money bit a bit until reach certain amount for free delivery..
@@DVDhoarder do you have access to a mail forwarding service. Bulk everything together in one location and then ship them all together ? I’ve been looking at using a similar method to import from overseas. Shipping cost can be stinger at times
Your monthly outgoings on streaming services are obviously for the benefit of your wife and children. I would hazard a guess that your family have little to no interest in your physical media collecting habits. You are in a minority like all of us who collect.
@@outpost3178 truth.
Yeah the kids absolutely make use of Disney and Netflix. Amazon prime we have mainly as benefit along with the feee shipping. Apple TV is the main one I’m using at the moment for the tv stuff and a couple of movies (personally I think they have the best quality content, just not quite as much)
@@PhillwithadoubleLAgree with you on Apple TV. Excellent content and picture & sound quality is outstanding for a streaming service. Certainly better than the usual suspects.
£40 on streaming services per month is mental imo. No way ☝️. Surely you would be better off buying cheap digital titles as you don't want to fill your shelves with more physical media do you 🤷
@@MattVs_Movies to be honest Matt, each of the services kinda has a reason to exist for me. The kids whoop the sh!t out of Disney and Netflix. Amazon comes along with their delivery thing which we do like having as we use them a lot. Apple TV is the one platform that personally I’d choose to have.
I absolutely do want to fill my shelves with physical media… just for the right movies. Need to keep in mind when picking things up… I don’t always need to keep them in my collection. Moving forward with the collecting it will be considered what I keep but I won’t stop picking up !
We were once paying upwards of £100 a month for Sky not so long ago, which was plastered in adverts, I don’t think £40 is a big deal in comparison.
Not to mention, you can drop in and out as you please, rotate the services to keep the costs down even more.
@@servare2599 we were the same with sky tv for a while. Cancelled that because of the price. The streaming services get hammered by the kids to be fair. Even if personally I don’t watch much… the kids smash those viewing figures !
@@servare2599 just seems alot to me
