Why I Still Buy Physical Media in a Digital Age
Переглядів 38 тис.4 місяці тому
With the convenience of digital and streaming, is there a reason to keep those old DVDs around or even buy the newest movie on Blu-ray? This video explains, in my humble opinion, why I prefer physical media over digital and streaming services Special thanks to VideoCat (www.videocat.ca/) and Videomatica (videomatica.com/) for having me film in their amazing establishments! Shoutout to HDTVTest ...

I get depressed a lot of the time, and I'm sure some of you do too. My favourite anti depressant is to rewatch movies.

Link to my list of movies that cures my depression: letterboxd.com/fartoofast/list/movies-i-rewatch-to-cur...

    Physical is the way. It's a better way to connect with art. I'm so happy I rediscovered they joy of actually owning media again.

    I have to agree with all you say on Physical media, nothing beats holding it in your hands and you also dont have to worry about the streaming giants taking it off. I also live in Canada and even though some members of my family think I'm crazy, I still buy physical media for the reasons I stated plus there is a lot of content in my library that isn't available on any streamer. (eg: Barney Miller, Becker, Columbo)

    I feel the streaming argument would’ve been better back in 2018/2019. But now, streaming fucking sucks, I genuinely believe that at the tail end of this decade we will see the streaming model collapse. Physical media will always be better

    8:51 Literally found two out of the three of these specific editions of the Lord of the Rings movies at Savers for $2.99 a couple of days ago in just about perfect edition with all of their discs still in their cases, a very lucky thrift find that I'm glad that I came across and purchased.

    Streaming will usually have only the latest version of a movie, which means it could be either cut or graded differently to older physical releases, this is my prime reason for sticking with my discs they can't mess around with those.

    Once you own a property or rent long term, you need something to decorate it. A wall of books can easily becone a wall of blurays or just a select few from your collection. You probably want to concentrate on accumulating wealth before the AI takes over though. Easy to get carried away collecting which feeds your brain when switching to a money making side hustle and investing in your skillset and future earning potential will also be fun, feed your brain and is probably a better strategy. Leave the accunulation if things until you are older and lazier and wealthier.

    Well I think you are a genius. Another good reason for me is when I am old and a bit doddery I'll enjoy rewatching all of my favourite movies. Streaming services may change often as years pass and you may no longer be able to watch what you once could. Technology changes rapidily and sometimes we are forced to accept that. Yet if you look after your dvd's there is no need to be frightened by changes in internet streaming/viewing. Lastly who trusts the big tech giants - I don't!

    Netflix exclusives tend to be on a 7 year contract. Occasionally, Netflix buys the occasional movie, so that it will never be found anywhere else.

    Watching a movie on a phone is way worse than piracy. You simply neglect any work that was done to the film, it's like trying to watch a new movie on a 60's TV. I grew up on piracy because at the time, in my country this was pretty much an only option (except for bootlegs). Now as an adult, I collect movies, I collect video games and music and ditched all streaming.

    • @KD6-3.7.2

    I still buy digital media. CDs, movies and games. The problem is that movies are getting way too expensive. There’s movies that cost $50-$60 from boutique online retailers. As much as I like physical media I think I’m ready for a 100% digital age. I for sure won’t buy movies because what’s the point, I would just watch whatever stream services offer. Nowadays theater movies come to these services pretty fast anyways.

    My mom doesnt really care if we go dystopian or not. I had a physical copy of Journey to The Center of The Earth and loaded it up through console on disc. There were still commercials and they were pretty long but getting to the title screen made it all worth it...not for her tho. I was smiling and enjoying the blast from the past but she just got irritated and was saying, "just play it already! If it were amazon i could just press a button and get it instantly." Which really hurt my soul. I said, "you dont care about how cool this is? I can keep it forever and i get this fun title menu". She said she didnt care and i said she was soul less. She got confused and i shook my head and played the movie. Then toward the end her boyfriend came over, critized the movie, and said Journey 2 was better. Way to ruin the fun...both of you...

      Yeah the vast majority of people have become so used to instant playback amongst 100,000 titles that they have no appreciation for the nostalgia of physical media especially if they have to wait 60 seconds before they can play the movie lol oh the horror!

    I have tons of movies on physical media. Pirated movies, on external hard drives. I do plan to put them on DVDrw soon. I like the feeling of putting a DVD in the tray. But I'm not giving the Hollywood kid touchers any money lol.

    I feel that more directors and musicians need to hammer home on how important physical media ownership is. If Nolan expressing that exact thing was able get his movie to sell out like hot cakes when it came out on physical, then I'm sure more directors and musicians can do the same and then maybe it'll get more people to jump back on the physical media train.

    I've also gone as far as purchasing older VHS tapes to eventually rip them for my own collection, a lot of older titles are hard to find anymore online. You either have to buy it, or risk getting some internet aids trying to find it yourself.

    I'm a bit of a data hoarder, however -- I've had to personally buy physical copies of items I couldnt find online, be it a movie, foreign short or whatever else...and strangely enough, both related to Matt Smith in some fashion. Some shit just...Isn't. online. And it's our job to preserve it.
