As a collector in Australia, I am gutted. And it's sad when I talked to my friends about the news, they were shocked but then told me that they actually don't buy physical media releases anymore for years. My rude awakening to the end of an era. Makes me want to hug my small but cherished dvd, 4K and blu-ray collection.

I think that streaming has truly destroyed the Art of film. Will movie theaters go out, the same way that video game systems made video arcades die? When a studio creates physical media, a studio must make sure that the product is of high-quality, in order to justify the production of a physical object. In conclusion, when all movies are streaming-only, the quality of our films will basically be big-budget million dollar KZfaq fan-films.

Long story short is that lots of people payed for digital books and in theory the owned them but the company broke, close the servers and your digital books went pouf pouf bye bye! Today we have like a new version of those libraries in which you pay a fee just like a streaming and somehow coexist just fine with physical books. My point is that there's still hope physical media and with time it will learn to coexist with streaming.

I still need to pick up a 4k player (or 2) but my blu-ray player works just fine for the blu-rays included with the 4K movies. If I can not buy movies in physical format (because they are not made or too expensive) & can't watch them from a physical format (cause I can't get a drive) & I can't find them on any legal service (because they were removed), then I would have to look else where, which I do not want to do, but I will if I have no other choice. They scream about people pirating their stuff... but then leave people no other choice but to pirate their stuff because legally they can't find it anywhere else.

Apart from the concerns regarding content ownership and the transformation of various life aspects into subscriptions, including potential irrecoverable deletion from platforms and preservation challenges, my primary reservation with digital media compared to DVDs/Blu-rays is centered around content organization and additional features. When it comes to DVDs, Blu-rays, and even the days of VHS, you could easily choose whether to watch the movie, delve into the extras, and selectively navigate through scene chapters, all presented visually. However, the situation with digital content and streaming is different. There's a lack of clear selection; everything is bundled within the total runtime. To access extras, deleted scenes, and more, you're forced to fast forward through the entire movie. This inconvenience is quite bothersome, and I fail to comprehend why no streaming service has adequately addressed this issue. Furthermore, Blu-rays and DVDs consistently appear to offer more supplementary content compared to streaming or digital platforms.

Still, if it's inevitable that physical media is going to die off then I really hope they find a way to deliver the same quality over stream or protected digital download. I feel like people who care about it are a small niche group and not enough to affect the market. Hopefully I'm wrong about that.

How does all of you watch cult/explotation movies only avaible on physical media and not on any streaming services? The physical media market have been exploding in the recent years, and it is even hard to catch up all of these new fantastic restorations releases of both new and older movies. Numbers of new manufactors of players just growing, although it is becoming more niche.

Is there still regional coding on DVD and Blue ray's? If so it won't simply be a matter of Aussie's purchasing physical media from overseas because they won't work.

I am a huge physical media collector. The best digital alternative to physical media is Kaleidescape. It's really expensive sure, but purchases are downloaded to a Kaleidescape local server. After that, internet access is not required to watch content, and the A/V quality is equal to physical media (and sometimes surpasses it). So that's where I'm going exclusively when physical media is no longer available to me. I hope that terrible day is still far far away.
