Well movie fans know physical will never die no matter how hard Disney and some studios try.
Emulation/piracy never diee
@@therealjaystone2344we get it. You don't appreciate art. Not all of us are as pathetic as you.
Another thing people need to realize is the quality. My wife and I were rewatching Friends for the first time since it originally aired. Our internet was out one night when we came home so I bought the complete series for cheap on eBay. It was only a DVD copy and a few days later we started watching them instead. The quality of just a DVD is better not only in video, but audio! Max joined the graveyard of canceled streaming services in our house. It has only made us buy even more physical media.
Bluray and 4k uhd blow streaming out of the water
I still collect DVDs, for a couple of reasons:
1. There are movies that have ONLY ever gotten a DVD release, and have never been on blu ray (at least, in the US).
Just recently, I found Strange Days, and Shadow of the Vampire on DVD, for example.
2. If I cant find a movie on blu ray that has a blu ray release, but find the DVD instead, I'll pick up the DVD.
Most of my physical media comes from thrift stores, pawn shops and other places like, Half Price Books, and dedicated physical media stores.
I usually, dont have to pay full-price, which is a plus and a good way to be able to build a collection.
Of course, there are some titles you gotta pay more for than, others, but im certainly, not going to pay $20 to $30 for everything.
Heck, I'm still collecting VHS!
I buy DVD's because I am not a huge move fan and I certainly don't do streaming. I just buy a DVD I like and watch it on my computer (I don't own a TV).
The physical media I am really into are compact disks and vinyl records. I love my music 😊
DVD is far from finished, I think eventually people will conclude they never had it as good as they did with that format. Basically, I can watch a movie on any format it really doesn't matter to me, I still have VHS and LaserDisc so while nostalgia is a part of it the most important part is still the movie itself. Why should we suddenly not be capable of enjoying a movie on DVD, just because other formats have come along it makes no sense to me that something we all used to enjoy and use mere years ago now all of a sudden is off limits and useless. Nonsense. It's the same movie no matter the format, so if you love a movie you'll still get the same kind of pleasure from watching it regardless of the format. In fact, older formats can add to the experience it doesn't take anything away. On a good Blu-ray player that upscales to near 'HD' a DVD will look pretty damn good and a whole lot better than on a standard DVD player. So get a Blu-ray player that upscales, say a Panasonic (I swear by) and you're off to the races those old discs will sparkle with new life, it really is like night and day...💿📀
I give Best Buy another two years. Back in the day when Best Buy started opening up around my areas I went there for basic CD albums that were Imports that I couldn’t find anywhere else. Same thing with CD EP imports I love collecting that stuff and then I started collecting movies from there. Sometimes the prices were a little bit high, but as long as I can go there physically and grab it, I’d pay the prices. When they stop caring CDs, I was mad, but I still went there for movies when their movie section shrunk down I stopped going all altogether.
I agree, don't think Best Buy will last much longer. The writing is on the wall.
Best Buy’s in store experience sucks now, at least in my area. The lights are dimmed like their trying to save on electricity, their are barely any workers or shoppers. It’s depressing just being in there now. I use to love going their to browse but not now.
I started collecting again. On a journey to collect my 80s movies and more!
“Streaming fatigue”, or perhaps more notably known as _subscription_ fatigue. Main reason I went back to playing videogames from the 6th gen, during the pinnacle of 3D gaming but right before live-service and downloadable content took the mainstream by norm. Ubisoft’s words about being “comfortable in not owning your games” rings true across ALL digital forms of entertainment, I don’t want to be inundated by monthly bills on top of the already high cost of living for just a perpetual license of ownership that can be retracted once the licensing expires.
When i can find a 3 or 4 movie collection in the 5 dollar walmart bin, thats a score. Heck, I got a Whalberg 5 movie collection in there for 5 dollars. Theres atlleast 3 good ones in there.
I cut most of my streaming channels. Here, i thought the grass was greener on the other side of cable. Nope. I keep Tubi and Pluto because they are still free.
i’m about to have a nephew in about a month & i can tell you i have already bought him probably over 20 dvds of kids shows that i watched growing up like sesame street, baby einstein, blues clues etc from the thrift stores in my area. because i want him to have the same experiences as i did watching those shows growing up & while yes you can watch those episodes online it’s just not the same as watching on dvd
That makes a lot of sense, and I also agree with what you said, I’m starting to predict that in several years when a lot of people continue to go back to Physical Media, I could see plenty of stores selling DVDs again, I could also see some more old video stores coming back like Blockbuster Video if it were to happen, it could bring back a little bit of what the world was like in the early 2000s
I definitely think physical media has a long life ahead of it and maybe in some years a resurgence in stores. Would love the video store to return, that would be awesome 🤘📼
If it turns into a tick tick trend that’s really all it will take.
My family thinks I am nuts for owning so many DVDs and Blu-rays. I stream but I never stopped buying physical media. Since Netflix shutdown DVD business, I have been getting new releases on Blu-ray. Buy the ones I like, and at least got to watch something different if it was not my cup of tea. I have over 2,500 DVDs and I am around 800 or more Blu-rays.
Didn't mind streaming when it was new, but it's just grown to be TOO MUCH. You mentioned Monday Night Raw. I have seen nearly every single episode since 1998. Once it goes to Netflix, not paying for it. Thanks for the video and I agree with all points!
You need a better family.
And don't forget about content being edited and taken away! There's a number of TV show episodes that you'll only find on disc now.
I am a Physical Media guy, didn't give up on them. You never own Digital. I watch any format, even on my HD TV. The quality doesn't bother me for DVDs if that is the only option of a movie that is available for me to watch or the upgrade is extremely expensive. I have not paid for a Subscription Service for Movies and not planning too.
For Streaming: I use Tubi, however, to watch older movies before going out an blindly buying them. Its how I put both Mask and Legend of Zorro on my wishlist. Watched them both there. I also use Pluto TV to watch old Game Shows but that's about it. Both are free so I don't pay a cent.
I am also a Physical Gamer as well, but I moved onto strictly Nintendo Switch, and luckily, Nintendo understands that their Physical Media sells so that's good for me. Everything else became Retro or what's free from Epic Games (tho I don't play as much so it doesn't hurt). I just don't have the time to sink 100+ hours of gaming like I used too. Movies are easier for me to take out time for.
Absolutely 👍 right about the whole lazy thing
Exactly, it's really not that hard to get up an put a disc in your player.
Lazy ass streamers
It's surprising that those Segway's weren't really successful. It's crazy how the convenience of streaming can trump all of the advantages that PM has over streaming.
I hate lazy people.
I think if people are returning to physical media and they’re trying to build a library, they are probably buying used, 50 to 1.00 DVD’s, 2 dollar to 6 dollar blu rays. The data isn’t going to reflect if there is a real increase in physical media buying. Might be fun to interview a business that sells 2nd and see if they are noticing an increase in buying. If you can find 3 to 5 business, maybe we can compare their data on physical media sales in the secondhand market. Just a thought. I’m kinda curious myself.
That's not a bad idea 🤔
When I was a kid, my town had a number of video rental stores, but by the time I finished High School; there was, unfortunately, only one. In 2019, that number became zero, as it was forced to shut down to put in a Dollar General. As sad as I was to see it go away, its selection of older titles was quite limited and became only good for New Releases that I didn't see at the theater.
That sucks man.
Don’t it always seem to go, that you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone.
Physical media diehard here. Just got about 6 titles in the mail including The Hateful Eight, Lady Snowblood, and Scarface on blu ray, and Society, Monkey Man and Abel Ferrara’s Driller Killer on dvd 😁🤘
Physical media is the superior format 🤘📼💿🙄
Its funny i found this after buying my first blu ray in years for the collector edition of chainsaw man. I dont even have a blu ray yet but im buying them already so the price doesn't go up
I Understand when People saying they going back Collecting DVD'S i mean Streaming can be cool for sure but let's be real here we have way to many Streaming Services so it's longer "Convenience" in my Opinion ☝
And keep it in mind all those Big Studios are looking down on us because we still Collecting Physical Media like a relic from the Past that can't not let it go from those very Evil Movies like Frankenhooker 😏
Thanks for your Work and Godspeed 🤘
I love hearing so many people going back to physical media, and yes it's ok if you want streaming but it's not for me. Long live b-movies and physical media! Thanks my friend 🤘📼💿📀
*DVDs. Punctuation matters.
Well, I still buy DVDs but the DVDs I buy are movies that are classics from the 30s 40s and 50s that didn’t get a Blu-ray release yet and I’m OK with that a lot of the stuff that I buy will never get blu ray releases. I do stream a lot, but basically for movies that I don’t have in my collection. There are people on CZcams that put up movies that were on VHS and they digitize them and put them on their channels so you can watch them and most of them don’t even have commercials and that’s another good thing . Streaming in general is too many commercials and if you don’t want commercials, you gotta pay extra take those commercials off. That should not be. That being said DVDs and Blu-ray have commercials before you actually get into the movie and sometimes you can’t fast forward through them.
Great video, FanZcene. Physical media will always be the superior format. And speaking of DiabolikDVD, i got 2 blu rays I ordered in the mail from them almost a week ago, one them is a 4K/Blu-ray combo pack of Face/Off (1997) from Kino Lorber, I had to remove the shrink wrap because a disc came loose in the case and it was the blu-ray that came loose in the case which was annoying and it had a tiny scratch on the disc but thankfully it didn’t affect any playback issues, but anyways never seen the movie and i watched it for the first time the next day, a fun action movie from the 90s, nothing wrong with a fun action movie and having a good time.
Diabolikdvd is awesome, and heck yeah man Face/Off is fantastic. Hate when one of the disc cones loose, it happens though. You know it physical media is the superior format.
Great video man. You did get my interest back in physical media.
Live hearing that! 👊🤘
I'm older now, I had streaming services but rarely watched anything, I'm very old school and my physical media collecting has switched to classic nostalgia stuff only, there's plenty of ways to watch older stuff and the rest I just buy on 4k, Blu-ray, DVD. Remember this before trying to buy everything though, We are eventually gonna die and we can't take anything with us and chances are no one in our families will want to take over, your stuff will be put in the garbage, donated or sold for pennies on the dollar
I view streaming as a gateway to sample a variety of shows & physical media as my backup to the shows/movies I really enjoy personally. Examples the 1st season of Sandman, the 4 seasons of Superboy from the 80s/90s, Mama's Family & classic Magnum PI.
I hate having to pay every month for a Rocko’s Modern Life movie that Netflix took, which was supposed to air on Nickelodeon in 2018, which I’m sure would have led to a DVD release! I wanted so bad to buy the Rocko movie and Netflix ruined everything for me with their stupid exclusivity rules, especially for something they claim they made which they didn’t!
This is something a lot of people don't talk about much. Streaming content not ever getting a physical release and if that content gets wiped from the streaming service for whatever reason then that is just lost forever now
@@Chaso-1124 That's why I'm furious that Netflix took what was supposed to be on Nickelodeon!
With a bit of effort you can "VCR" record it using a firestick/Chromecast/Roku, a capture card, and an HDMI splitter. I prefer to buy the media, but sometimes I resort to what we did in the 80's and 90's, except now we have fancier equipment.
@@dannypoo3281 I bit the bullet and pirated it, granted it's still the Netflix edited version, as the intended 2018 Nickelodeon version is lost forever.
People that dismiss DVD's come off as ignorant to me especially in the age of HDMI. A lot of DVD's look very good.
*DVDs. Punctuation is hard. Speaking of ignorance.....
You know me, still powering up the VCR. Just bought a backup VCR this week. Hope all is well, and trim that beard. You’re giving off Kris Kringle vibes from “Santa Claus is Coming to Town”.
Love to hear, good old VHS and an extra VCR never fails. Feeling a lot better, and ho ho ho.
I first Benn collecting physical media since i was in middle school and entering highschool i started collecting Blu Ray and im still collecting
I just bought my god daughter a dvd that's not streaming anymore. Now she wants to go with me to the used dvd place to fund all of her favorites.
That's awesome! Enjoy physical media hunting and helping her find her favorites.
I mostly quit watching streaming because I wasn’t watching it. I’d scroll through for hours, and never watch anything because I was so overwhelmed. I also hate the auto play feature when I am trying to read what a title is about. So. Irritating!! I’m much happier just choosing a dvd from my collection that I have pre-cultivated and watching that. 😊
I do have streaming fatigue, I only watch what I ripped from my own DVDs and Blu-rays, unfortunately I can't cancel all of my streaming subscriptions cause my Family would be very sad
Tell your family to get over themselves.
When I here people say Im waiting for it to come out on 4k before I get it or on Blu-ray. I tell them you are going to miss out on alot of movies an things. Because some things never get a Blu-ray or 4k release. So its up to you just keep this in mind because as any one that collected physical media for a while. Along with keeps up with physical media releases an news an things like that. Knows that some things are even lucky to get a DVD release at all.
Then if it does get a 4k release it may be only for a different DVD, Blu-ray, 4k region. So yes can't watch it unless you have a region free player to play it on. Even then it may be a completely different language with no subtitles for you to understand. For a example of this the movie Reeker 2005. In region A/1 that is the United States an Canadia you can only get it on DVD. But in other countries there is a 4k version of it but they are region locked an in another languages. There is a reason for this basically in other countries it got a full release. So it was a well-known movie an in the United States an Canadia. It was only aired quietly once or twice on small TV channels. So in the other countries more people seen it an know about it so there is more of a demand for it. In the United States an Canadia its mainly known by word of mouth only. Wich is sad concerning the movie was made in the United States.
So people that dismiss DVDs they will just miss out on certain movies an things on physical media.
Quality is another issue. I spent a lot of money on a really nice TV and a decent surround sound setup and I want to get my full money's worth out of it. Physical discs just look and sound superior. I've never seen a 4k stream that looks as good as even a regular Blu-ray!
Aside from watching a few streaming sites, yep streaming fatigue is starting to creep in for me!
That seems to be the case for some people out there.
Another thing about streaming they do rise prices from time to time and that sucks you got free services and those have a ton of commercials on it but sometimes it’s worth watching even with the commercials if it’s something you can’t get a hold of physically. There’s nothing wrong with DVDs they are cheaper sometimes a newer release won’t get a DVD release and then you end up on streaming again if you don’t have a blu-ray player. But if you have a good Blu-ray player or a good 4K player, it up, converts the DVDs very nicely mine does, and I’m very happy with it. Once you buy a good player, you’ll be happy with it and it’ll look very nicely .
4K discs are crazy money here in Belgium,25 to 35 euro for a movie,4K discs are dead in the water,mostly because of streaming,but also because of price of the players and discs.
Dang that sucks.
Streaming and Physical go hand and hand. Yes I understand the frustrations with streaming, I myself will never feel bound by any streaming service because I will always have DVDs and VHS as an alternative. I have been collecting physical media for over 35 years. Disney and WB are the most problematic with their streaming services because they don't utilize their legacy content right.
So true, and I will never be bound by streaming either. Been collecting since I was a kid.
Oh, one last thing when you’re streaming TV shows on any streaming app there is a big possibility that shows are edited and some episodes might be even banned. For example, the office has a few episodes that were fine when they originally aired and even in syndication, they were fine now they’re being banned on streaming because there was something offensive in there, and God knows what it was, and because one person got offended that gets taken down. It happened to the Simpsons with the episode. Start raving Dad because it had to deal with Michael Jackson had nothing to do with Michael Jackson. lol 😂 so you gotta be aware of that as well physical media if you buy a whole series most of the time they’re not edited except for maybe Disney there’s a lot of edited stuff from Disney be aware of that
I don't like DVDs that much because if you get like 1 little scratch on the DVD disc it is messed up . I think every movie and every TV show needs a Blu-Ray release . I think Blu-Ray is way better the DVD . I still buy DVDs . But I only buy movies and TV shows that does not have a Blu-Ray release
Not necessarily messed up for good, I sometimes run across a DVD that suddenly freezes but it's usually because of dirt so all you need to do is wash the disc and it'll play again, it's as simple as that...
Not everyone is as irresponsible and immature as you are. My 20 year old DVDs and CDs work just fine.
dvd can be the gateway towards blurays for the re-entering ones i do have one streamingservice wich is disney plus for the starwars and marvel shows i dont like Netflix they dont offer me shows i love anyway i have cut down on me buying second change dvds and now buy new blurays and 4ks mostly and physical graphic novels of course !
Definitely DVDs can be a great gateway into physical media. Whatever streaming works for you my friend. Keep on collecting and enjoying your entertainment.
Ive got amazon prime video just because i use the delivery service so often. Its pretty good for renting films I'm not sure about buying. But i prefer physical media.
I was looking at using that background earlier
Dew it! It's a great background.
Good video Greg. Personally, I can't hang with DVDs anymore. The poor resolution just looks like crap to my eyes... they've become almost unwatchable for me now. But I agree with you that if DVDs get fatigued streaming people back into physical media, then I'm all for it. Whatever format gets people back "in the door" (i.e. back into the physical media realm) is a net positive as far as I'm concerned. And many will likely upgrade to blu-ray as they learn more about quality standards, etc.
Thank you Fuzz! I completely get not liking DVDs, personally I don't mind especially if a movie doesn't have a blu-ray. Exactly if DVD can get people back into physical media that's a big win. Plus people like you and I can help them with our channels and show how good blu-ray and 4K can be.
I thought I'd chime in that DVDs still look great on standard definition CRT TVs! Not many people hold on to them anymore, but it definitely took me by surprise how clear the picture still is. For modern HD compatible TVs though, Blu-ray and up can't be beaten for sure.
@@nora-bee That's a very good point that I can attest to as well. That's main reason that I stopped watching my DVDs... they looked terrible on my first HD TV (at the time, back when blu-ray was in its first few years). But I noticed they still looked a lot better on lower-definition monitors or CRT Tvs (which makes sense, given that's what they were designed for). I even have a DVD drive on the laptop I'm typing this on, which is not quite full HD. And DVDs even look better when I play them on this laptop than they do on my 75-inch 4K TV.
I get your point on the DVD quality, but how about movies that never got a Blu-Ray release? Will you still watch those movies or you don't bother with those movie at all?
Yes, it's very easy to stand up and walk over to a movie shelf and insert the disc into a video player. Unless, of course, the person happens to be paralyzed. Then, not so much.😬
P.S. I'm not talking about myself, just using generalities.
Don't know if fatigue is the right word but it's sure too damn espensive.
Also Elrond "Streaming must be taken deep into Mordor and cast back into the fiery chasm from once it came"
I think aggravation with a side of fatigue is probably more accurate. Throw it in Mr. Frodo!
@@FanZceneVidsSam "What are you waiting for? Just let it go"
After watching so many blu rays 4k and HD streaming I can't go back to watching dvd it looks bad to me now. I will if it's a movie that's never been released or is too expensive but I've been spoiled and not going back. I've rebought all my favorite movies in blu ray and my absolute favorites in 4k. 4k is starting to spoil me from blu ray. Blu ray have heavy dnr all the grain is scrubbed and the colors are usually over saturated making it look fake and not the original vision.
You can get a 1080p webcam with only $25 to $50 at the cheapest, which has much better image and even sound quality.
I just recently return to physical media after being away since 2010. What I want to know is has anyone made a database of good places in their area or that they know about that has cheap media?
If your city has a subreddit, you can ask there.
I think r/dvdcollection is trying to get a list together of good places. Not too many on the list yet, but you can see it without a reddit account
psychical media is better don't need worry about weird movie website that possibly has virus and theirs horrible ads
Just picked up oppenheimer on 4k since that's how I am supposed to see it lol
Lol it's the smart and best choice.
Same here!
I bet Netflix is raising the price cause of their deal with wwe giving them Raw
Oh I guarantee it. They spent 5 million dollars and need to make it back.
Actually 5 billion but yea it sucks
Dıabolıc, the adult fılm studıo? They stıll exıst?
diabolikdvd an online physical media store
Im just getting started with buying dvds and blu rays of classic Noir gangster movies from the 30s and 40s! Streaming doesnt have them! As for streaming fatigue.....some series are good...but a lof the titles suck balls
Keep on collecting those titles man, all time classics. Most new stuff really does suck balls indeed.
Morning,I’m intrigued with what you have to say but will you please slow down,you get a little too excited lol.
I mean that in a positive way.
I get this a lot, and when I get going it's hard to slow down lol. Doing my best to calm myself, and thank you 🤘
I rely on DVD 📀. Mainly because my laptop and tablet can play DVDs 📀. For that matter, my laptop upgrades my DVDs 📀 to near 4K quality.
Auto playing trailers. Yes. So annoying.
IF PEOPLE ARE CUTTING OUT CABLE, WHY WOULD THEY CUT A STREAMING PLATFORM THAT PROVIDES THEM NEW FILMS/SHOWS/NEWS/SPORTING EVENTS? PHYSICAL MEDIA CAN'T SOLVE THIS!!!
Dude streaming is basically cable 2.0, they're actual physical numbers saying these streaming services are losing subscribers daily. People see it's not what was promised. I think I explain in this video and many others why some are turning away from streaming and going back to physical. Plus it's been proven no one likes or us watching the new stuff.
SAY I'M A MILLENNIAL OR GEN Z THAT HAS GOT RID OF CABLE, BUT WANTS TO WATCH THE SUPERBOWL. HOW WOULD I WATCH IT IF I GOT RID OF PARAMOUNT PLUS? SAY I WANT TO WATCH THE OSCARS OR PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES? IF I HAVE NO CABLE, HOW DO I WATCH THESE PROGRAMS IF I ABANDON CABLE & STREAMING FOR PHYSICAL MEDIA? @@FanZceneVids
@@FanZceneVidsI Agree ;-)
First off the Superbowl and the Oscar's are both on local free TV, you don't need streaming or cable for them. Just buy an antenna.
@@johndough6623Nobody is going to say quit your Streaming Services if you enjoy it then keep going i will not stop you but we Movie Lovers will still buying Physical Media so what's the Problem.
