    Because there is a solid market - even if it's a minority compared to digital sales/rentals/streaming - for physical media, one that's less casual and more inclined to spend big money for the benefit of having the best possible version of something (in the case of BDs ofc).

    DVD sales still trump BD and UHD because swathes of older generations/normies don't have an eye for PQ coupled with the fact that every household has something that plays them, as opposed to BD players.

    Neither are going anywhere any time soon, the market is just shifting a bit is all. And if you at all cared about film preservation and building a library, you would hope it lives forever.

I have a program I downloaded on my PC that lets me stream my desktop to my TV wirelessly with practically zero lag at up to 4k resolution.

        Full discs might be available on private trackers, but they're usually dead on public trackers unless it's a new movie. Rutracker has a surprising number of healthy full disc torrents.
        If you're looking for them try tags like DVD5, DVD9, BD25, BD50 etc.

        Criterion should release special editions of both Mandy and Beyond the Black Rainbow

        Don't think either are really within their tastes, plus Mandy has a pretty good release already AFAIK

        i buy dvd versions of operas because they have eng subtitles and i can actually engage myself with the story and lyric and not just 'oh this is some good music with german yelling"

    I literally buy my 10/10s so I can throw them on with no hesitation and no searching necessary

    and usually only buy boutique blurays for value/resale value if necessary

    (therefore tons of titles in pic related are sold/donated).

    Unless you have fiber there's still data caps, and streaming high res video is about the most demanding download there is short of shit like game installs.

        Well my cap is like a terabyte per month or something, rarely ever get that high. Think I only did once because I was reinstalling a bunch of stuff for some reason. But I don't stream 4k or anything, yet. Though new tv's and such make me tempted to consider it.

    I buy blurays of old animus. That's about it. I literally don't watch anything else except the sanic movies. I don't even know why I'm here.

    Picked up the LOTR special extended editions for $45 recently. Streaming in big gay, owning physical is where it's at. Not to mention the extra 10+ hours of behind the scenes footage that you can't find on streaming services (other than sometimes youtube for older films)

      I have those. Never once watched em. Life is too short. But like the fool I am, still upgraded to blurays when they were on sale and I haven't watched those either. Now I hear about the UHD release and I realize I need help.

      I gotta quit doing stuff like this.

    I predict in the near future all studios will cease releasing new hard-copy media. They’ll use “the environment” as an excuse. They’re already testing the waters with straight-to-streaming releases.

    I prefer hard copies because I don’t have to pay to stream it; I don’t have to worry about it being yanked; and I don’t have to worry about retro edits that “improve” special effects or quietly delete “hateful” material. I’m sure one day a concerned neighbor will phone the cops over “a rotting smell” and they’ll find my decaying corpse buried under a DVD landslide.

      Physical media will continue perhaps in a different form but as long as there's a market, people will make it and sell it.

        Yes, BUT. consider:
        >home video released at a time of no Internet
        >rental stores, Blockbuster
        >Netflix kills Blockbuster
        >Netflix (and others) begin making original content
        >studios begin revoking streaming rights and building their own streaming services, a strong motivator being to stop funding new emerging competition

        If the studios can normalize “Paramount” subscriptions, why distribute hard copies? Not only would they remove the expense of manufacturing but they would create a NEED to be either subscribed to a streaming service or pay full price for a digital download. I think this will happen soon. They even have a myriad of excuses:
        >”environmentally friendly”
        >”convenient”
        >”contact-free” during [insert whatever disease lockdowns]

    I buy physical media. You would not believe the amount of digital media I've lost over the last 20 years. I have vinyl records, casette tapes, and CDs. The vinyl records have held up best. I have a streaming music account, but I've had songs disappear from it for various reasons, and there's nothing I can do about. I used to have a Netflix account, but tv shows and movies routinely disappear from availability because of rights issues. My DVDs and Blurays are always going to be there. They will not disappear because some actor got cancelled by SJWs or the rights holder decided to put them behind a different providers paywall or my laptop got stolen or my OS took a shit and corrupted all my files or whatever. I won't lose music because my ipod got stolen, and nobody in their right mind breaks into a house and steals a stack of CDs.

    People do still buy them, that’s the thing. Not every movie is available through streaming. Buying movies is the same price as renting them from back in the day.

    A Russian fellow had to get my 4K remux from somewhere, after all.
    Jokes aside, I wonder if the best availible quality of a film will be whatever they compressed so they could save on storage and bandwith if a move for digital-only media takes place and succeeds.
    I really doubt they'd distribute anything losslessly. I could be wrong and they could already be doing so, but I wouldn't know since I never bought digital media (and never will).

        its there, especially if you have hdr on. but its not a big difference obviously. esp if you have a tv that does a good job of scaling 1080p to 4k

    Old people and poor people. My dad was still buying DVDs until a couple of years ago until he got a smart TV and I gave him login details to all my Netflix, Amazon etc. He just thought DVD was the most incredible thing up until that point.

        I've never personally had internet or even a computer of any kind in my entire life except dial up for about six months about 20 years ago. I'm phone posting. I've had roommates with it, at my job, etc.

            What's to not believe. And even that computer when I had dial up was just my mom's old one she gave me. So now it'd probably be about a 30 year old computer. I've never bought any type of computer whatsoever. Although now that I think about it I probably had to pay for part of the internet when my roommates had it. That's probably been about 20 years though.

    You used to be able to tell a lot about a family based on what movies they had on their shelf. Now you can tell a lot about someone if they have movies on their shelf at all.

    I know some people still buy them. They never upgraded to 4K. It’s not even a big deal with todays LCD TVs. They work in a blu ray.
