What are you talking about? 4K Blu Ray isn't 480p.

I get what you saying, but it's still bulk to me
I have HUNDREDS of burned MP3 CDs from high school that I literally haven’t touched or cared about since high school. This streaming shyt ain’t going nowhere and if I can’t listen to 1 Jay-z album or whatever because a company acts funny, who cares? At that point find a download for that 1 albumThe joke is actually on the people. People can lose music, movies, etc if streaming companies act funny or go out of business.

No. I’m saying people buy TVs meant to watch 4k and all that but don’t know how to actually use them. I’ve seen this with my eyes.

I'm not sure what people you've seen, but #OLEDGANG don't got those problems. Best believe if we drop $2000 on a tv we know how to use it.
I mostly download movies now but I will buy my fav on Blu-ray and continue to grow my small collection. If you have a good tv and sound system it's worth having physical. Also, Xbox/PS5 are OK Blu-ray players but with some dedicated players you see a big difference in details.
The End of an eraI’m going to miss all the times browsing these kind of stores like we did in the 90s.(Blockbusters, music stores etc) Best Buy won’t be around much longer. Going to end up like Circuit City
Best Buy to End DVD, Blu-ray Disc Sales
Best Buy plans to phase out sales of DVDs and Blu-ray discs both in-store and online by early 2024, the company said.variety.com
that's wild, I just went to Best Buy doing my break last friday to cop some classics on 4k. I copped Heat, Space Odyssey 2001, and The Thing.
Saw Heat on 4k and it looked absolutely magnificent. I told my wife I'm trying to build up my Blu Ray/4k collection before DVDs become obsolete.
And now I see this news. But who knows, look at vinyl - there's been a resurgence in that market.

People don't understand how much media we stand to lose. Shows/movies been pulled off of streaming services, servers crashing, hell even having files on your computer or on back-up is not safe. You could easily have a dystopian scenario in which say in 2100 all media from say 2050 to 2100 is lost, because it had no physical existence whatsoever and some freak eletronic/computer incident happened.

I got concepts of a plan.
True. Disney drop a boatload of shows/movies this year off their platform. If they don’t cycle through them, they will be lost forever unless you have the physical copy.

Truth be told I don’t need to buy much more. I’ve just held on to what I’ve already had over the years. It’s a nice collection built mostly from shopping at store like bookoff/goodwill and eBay

Black Content gonna to take the biggest LPrior to 2022, Panthers was on no streaming sites
It had limited DVD release as well.. Basically was being sold fo $50-$100 a pop because it was rare..
Finally got a 2022 Blu Ray release3 Strikes movie is another example.. On no streaming sites.. Have to relay on physical copies
I still buy 'physical' media...
me too, I like physical copies, I know the prices are high but I don't like purely digital. It's ashamed Best Buy is doing that, I'm gonna miss being able to get physical copies
