There are a few things you must understand, because you are too poor to comprehend. Once you stop being poor, a bluray a week is negligible. I spend more on mcdonalds. So if you are a broke third worlder you just wont understand how trivially cheap this is to real white people. Now lets talk tech specs. When i buy a bluray (or 4k bluray), i get a maximum bitrate video with uncompressed Dolby Atmos audio. This matters when you are watching on an 83 inch OLED and surround sound system. You wouldn’t know, because you use a 720p laptop with $5 earbuds. Streams and torrents (excluding demuxes) are supenrlow bitrate and this is obvious on large panels. Demuxes are huge files, and you soon need a home server just to host them. I did that before. Its gay. Just buy your media like a chad and have sex
Because she sold them to me for $1 and said its only because its me. I just walked in drunk drinking a beer. I got about a dozen. Ready Player One bluray was probably my favorite score because I have a Spielberg shelf but I havent seen it yet. I even bought stuff I hated like Rampage (2018) but I only saw it once and was obsessed with the video game. When it came out they put the game on this sort of small stage in the middle of the arcade with display monitors and there was this huge crowd of people watching. I'd never seen anything like it before or since. I was about 9 years old.
I also got Batman Superman or whatever 3D and apparently those are pretty good investment because they're apparently really restricted with piracy, streaming, etc.
Why not? I can just throw it away whenever I feel like it. On the other hand, it's the licensee who decides when to throw your digital library away, lol.
Physical console games have entirely offline DRM so I can play them even if the civilization goes belly up. I have no idea why anyone would want to purchase physical movies though.
i'm talking about the good ole days of the early 2000s 2 disc dvd sets where there were a bunch of multiple hour docs on every aspect of the making of the movie, alternate cuts, deleted scenes, long gag reels, and multiple commentary tracks.
>ripping from borrowed copies or downloading rips of dvd and blu-rays, and burning them to disc yourself, while also having a hard drive for backups is the true way.
I buy copies of obscure, old, or niche, films that usually either aren't available on a streaming platforms or torrents. I don't by physical copies of mainstream stuff though.
Unironically buy only anime and that is rare these days. There hasn't been anything made worth buying in 10 years so I pretty much just only upgrade my DVDs to blurays when they are objectively superior, which only applies to things pre-2000
Once Upon a Time In...Hollywood has lots of docs and deleted scenes but again no commentaries. So that does look to be a difference. However as I recall he doesnt do a lot of those anyways. But still 0/3
I only buy blu rays of movies and TV I really like and will rewatch and watch when friends come over. I can always rip a blu ray for a digital copy if I want one. Buying a disc gives me more viewing options, convenience, and higher quality on my kino htpc.
oh I also got Rock of Ages bluray for $1 so my Cruise kino shelf is almost complete. I've been holding off on that one for a little while on ebay because I knew it'd pop up at a pawn shop.
Its not like I have anything esle to spend my fricking money on. Everything is either illegal here or its shut down from covid. Yet another weekend of nothing to do.
I'll keep an eye out but I do like that Warner Archive Collection. Next on my list is Under the Rainbow (1981). I've been chomping at the bit for that one for awhile.
Under the Rainbow is a 1981 American comedy film directed by Steve Rash and starring Chevy Chase, Carrie Fisher, Eve Arden, and Billy Barty.[2] The plot is loosely based on the gathering of little people in a Hollywood hotel to audition for roles as Munchkins in the film The Wizard of Oz.
The warner archive really is great. I’ll check out Under the Rainbow, I love Chevy Chase. Foul Play got a bluray release recently too, its mediocre but its more Chevy (plus Goldie Hawn)
In order to have control over what I can watch and when.
Streaming services are all worthless. They have less than 1% of all movies and TV shows, and what they do have is bottom of the barrel and often censored.
Having multiple hard drives full of digital rips is fine but I like the honesty of a good old disc.
i've spent about $1500 on blu-rays per year for the last decade
Based. I just started last year. I spent at least $1500 just so far this year lmao
Did you know they're all available for free digitally? Or does plastic really thrill you that much?

when the crash happens a fat consumer moron like you will suffer most. not because of the conditions, but because you won't be able to take it.
Take it where? I own a farm.
Thats literally what everyone does when they stop being poor. The economy is based entirely on us richgays buying things solely because we can
tl;dr "I buy things to fill the void"
Give me your digital movie codes
Ok. Act fast before another anon beats you
Extremely based of you anon
No problem.
Awesome and great taste
Peak dark skinned consoomer.
You’ll wake up one day and own nothing, homo. Best wishes
Is the government going to knock on my door and take my hard drives?
They will, but its not because of your stolen israeli propaganda.
Good goy
just books

really? how are they gonna delete it from my hard drive?
They unironically can and will
i will own things and i will be happy

i really miss the days when every movie had hours of making-of docs and commentaries. why are modern releases so barren?
first one I looked up Last Night In Soho has deleted scenes and making-of doc
i'm talking about the good ole days of the early 2000s 2 disc dvd sets where there were a bunch of multiple hour docs on every aspect of the making of the movie, alternate cuts, deleted scenes, long gag reels, and multiple commentary tracks.
The 2nd one I looked up Tenet has over an hour of docs. But yes neither of these first two have commentaries.
They still do this, but it's usually "special edition" blu-ray releases.

PS1 and PS2 games are starting to be worth more ever year.

Check out the adventures of don juan (1948). Just came out, has tons of special features

I just like owning things

and should be no sales tax. They also have clearance sales a few times a year. They just had one.
I actually did buy it from Kino lorber Directly. I just thought it was funny when the first google result was Walmart.
