What are we going to have in the houses of the future? Empty shelves? Physical media is a pleasure to collect, play and display. I love my DVDs and I love looking at them, too :-)

You can't see Citizen Kane on streaming. Let that sink in.😮😮😮

Physical media preserves the art rather than just the movie. Streaming service actually do not put up some older titles due to licensing issue and viewers are forever not exposed to really good movies.

No one can take your physical media! The sound is still crappy in streaming!

I just went back into collecting after selling some rare DVD's i owned. Some i may never even recover, but i got into a facebook DVD auction group and have been getting a few movies i never even onwned before like the 5th element. Now it's the time to do it because it seems a lot of people are waking up to this reality and the prices are still pretty low for most movies, so you better do it now...

My husband was like why’d you pay extra for the PS5 with the disk drive? I looked at him and was like do you KNOW me at all?! physical media is king

Theres a high level of "anxiety" in losing access to content, but we must accept this is part of life. This idea of "they cannot take it away from you" is to heavy for an individual to bear. I'm all in for preservation efforts on the entertainment industry, voters should push for political measures on this regard.

One of the main reasons why I am not having 1000's of discs with me right now is the money factor. I am from India , Everything here is imported so the cost is goddamn high. If a new movie is 30$ in the US here it is 50$. There are zero collections too, these amazon local sellers buy random stuffs. If I need to buy a specific movie even with 50$ it wont be there.

This is true

I used to, in the VHS days. Guess what happens, you run out of room. Do I still buy Blu Rays, occasionally, if I know I will rewatch it. The Thing I got on 4K just recently. But then again, its the storage of it. And as well, like any collection, when you die, the people you leave behind need to deal with it. I 100% know movies get changed for streaming, I have side by side proof compared to a blu ray. But Im also to the point of, meh, whatever, I have more important things in life to worry about. But if you dont want to worry about room, go to your local library, rip a DVD and put it on Plex. Cant be edited since its not streaming, and you have the cut thats meant to be

There are a few reasons why I collect Blu Rays and the odd DVD and they are

I collection

I started collecting physical media years ago. I bought external hard drives- discs not unlike a bluray disc except they hold much more data. On this physical media i store 1200 films, hundreds of tv shows, thousands of music albums, documentaries, etc…my collection that continues to grow.

Greetings from great Britain...over the last 6 years ive built up a great collection of CDS (probably about 2500) and hundreds of DVDS...a lot of boxsets....and a few Blurays...all pretty cheap...after a lull in my collecting for 6 months there wete a few boxsets i fancied...much to my dismay...it seem (probably due to KZfaq channel guys showing off their collections and extolling the virtues of physical media)...the prices have risen considerably...BAH!!!...LOL...so i snapped up the ones missing from my collection before everyone gets on the bandwagon.....bargains can still be have from charity shops......only yesterday i bought 5 Blurays for £1. From my local charity shop (you call them "goodwill " shops in America)...im glad i built up my collection when people were offloading their CDS DVDS for peanuts...that said i did worry about if it becomes obsolete what happens if they stop making Bluray players...so the rise in physical media is ultimately a good thing....i do stream Netflix with adverts for general viewing with my wife...but stuff i really like such as hammer horror...and other "classic" great films....or 60s/70s/80s TV show....i want a copy....with all the nice artwork....extras.......................commentaries booklets...etc.....

Great video man! I couldn't agree more.

I love the extras on a blu ray or 4K the reason I collect physical media.

Love everything you said here.

I want a stanger things box set so much, i am praying they will release on eafter season 5

Camping trip with portable DVD player.....unable to stream....always nice

I sincerely love your point on film preservation. The average person in society wouldn't even have that thought ever even cross their minds. For the die hard movie lovers though it is really important. A lot of my fav films are obscure movies that are hard to find on streaming. Heck many haven't even been on Blue Ray yet and some never even made it past vhs!
