Thanks Ken! I always find you to be a fountain of knowledge. Listing all these websites is a great service!! Keep up the good work, and keep the physical media faith!
Good call on scream factory and them sending you pre-orders a few weeks early. I am trying to grow my channel so when it comes to new releases I didn’t realize that advantage to cover them early. Gonna miss the Lionsgate Best Buy 4k exclusives. Don’t know if Walmart is going to pick those up or what. I don’t see LG stopping doing them - they do such a great job at that price point it would be a shame. Thanks for the informative vid 👍🏼
Thanks Ken. Between you and Heath (Cereal at Midnight) a lot of the panic is being knocked down. Physical media is not going anywhere. The distribution model is just changing.
Arrow has definitely become my favorite this year! I just love their boxsets! I wish we had a boutique label who made exclusively releases in VSU packaging, I guess we do with the film vault releases. We still have plenty of boutique options to collect the movies we love.
I have recently started collecting over the past few months after getting rid of most of my streaming subscriptions. I am so glad I found this video. Thank you!
Thanks for this I’m trying to get a hold of sites to order from besides Amazon need to get them in order so when it ends from BB and Target won’t be selling them too so I only have Walmarts which is a lost cause there 🙄 so I’ll be ordering on line from now on thanks again great job 👏🏻
I was checking online at Walmart for 4Ks. There are a lot but not in-store. Walmart needs to focus hard on 4K movies and 4K Steelbooks {Exclusives} at that. Who the hell is buying them cheap DVDS.
Love the channel Ken. This video from 16 min in was tottally up my alley. I collect on a strict budget so the botique's are usually not a good option for me. I will even buy used on ebay and resurface on a rare occassion.
@@ozzy.....7383 Thanks Ozzzy. Deeep discount is one I often forget about. Amazon prices are not always the cheapest anymore. It pays to take the time and compare. Thanks again.
@@sjmeola I would forget too except DD sends me texts everyday about using my discount off my first purchase which would of put me below the 25$ for free shipping
Good video. I need alternatives to best buy. I finally upgrade to 4k. I got my first 4k player in November 2023 from Best Buy. And now I am buying 4k movies. It's funny how it turned out. I will be buying movies from these websites...thanks
We still buy physical media frequently but have not bought a disc at our Best Buy in probably 7 or 8 years. They just have so little we need or cannot find much cheaper elsewhere
I keep getting damaged 4K blu-rays and standard blu-rays from Amazon. At the rate of 50% it seems. However, the damage is more and more related to heat damage and shelf storage abuse and or handling damage rather than pure shipping damage, which of course also still happens sometimes. I’d like a disc media store that would do the brief visual inspecting work to only ship me quality like new product, makes sense right, to look at it and say hey this is in good condition or not, then pack it well for me to survive the shipping process.
The most important thing is that we shop at Best Buy‘s in stores and show them that there’s demand for them to keep supporting physical media in their stores,so that they reverse there dumb decision!!! As much as I love physical media without a major retailer like Best Buy‘s carrying them it’s going to be a major nail in the coffin for physical media if people aren’t seeing it in person they’re not thinking about it out of sight out of mind. All those sites to order movies from that’s all good and fine but that’s not gonna make physical last without major retailers carrying them in stores.
@@markpugh6808 I can only speak for my area because I’m in New York and there’s no Walmart but according to my friend that works at Best Buy here physical movies sell extremely good at Best Buy’s. When a new Big release comes out they sell 100s of that movie alone in a week, No employees even knew about them not going to carry physical movies before it was mentioned. But once again if people go to the store and buy them there’s a chance for the Best Buy’s might reverse there decision they are business.
Thank You for calling out Shout/Scream Factory pricing. Grindhouse depends on the title. For example Crimes of the Future and It Follows were each $5 cheaper at pre-order than Diabolik. Also with Grindhouse free shipping on over $100.
You say go ahead and buy from overseas if you want it but aren't they region locked? I know the 4K is region free but if it comes with a Blu-ray I want it to work as well.
Me neither I only have a Walmart in town and they're my store for the recent releases and tv shows. I only order on-line when there are no alternatives.🤔
I live in a suburb of one of the bigger metro in the whole US, and we don't have mom and pop shops anywhere. Half Price costs as much and more than BB and Target sometimes, and they might have 3-4 4k movies at all.
@@6AM_YT it finally shipped after 14 days from Diabolik. My Grindhouse order was placed on Nov 28 and just shipped today. So you got luckier than me with them.
Diabolik, Orbit, Grindhouse, and Atomic only sell boutique and horror. Where am I gonna get Deadpool 3 (2024) 4K steelbook that ships in bubble wrap and a box?
I banned Best Buy and Target already. I won't miss them at all for my media needs. All of the websites you mention are great. I'd much rather support them.
Luckily for me, there's a movie store in my local mall. They pretty much have everything, or can at least order it, and nine times out of ten, they are cheaper than Amazon.
I want to get a movie as soon as it comes out and pay cash. And see the condition. Target and Walmart are done. Can’t find on Amazon or want to wait months for damaged product. Best Buy is 45% of the market. That’s a lot.
I really started going online like 10 yrs ago. Deep Discount was my top Pick. SF is too expensive with their Special Editions. But i dt need all the add on's the include with the disc. Only thing to get Free Shipping u gotta spend $35-$50 bucks and of course if i want one movie. It's $32-$34 so they try make u order another movie to get FS... Never ordered from Kino, but i'll check some of these sites out. I wonder how Shipping is from these new companies...That's the main thing. BF I will be busy ordering since BB is stopping Blu sales. These sites will be more Popular to go to. But most important is Shipping with far less damage with bad packaging. We'll see - lol
OR if you order from scream factory, you may get it super late like night of the demons was over 2 weeks late because i had to wait on the art cards and pins. now the blob is late. SF sucks which sucks because i love their titles
For now. Prices are still increasing though. Starting to look like future prices will be heading to $50 for standard editions, $80-$100 for limited editions. When it gets there I'm done. It's already insane with the current prices. Atm we are getting 2-3 titles for $100 without tax. Great vid man 👍🏻
What are you talking about? The cost of Blu Ray’s are not outrageous! We got all 4 John Wick movies at Best Buy after 4 came out for $40 & there was no sale going on! We have never paid over $30 for a single movie! The only reason we paid around $30 is because of the 4K disc that came with the Blu Ray!
Best Buy is getting rid of physical media like a tree being relieved of a diseased limb. But believe me, the tree is still dying and someday will be gone.
My biggest disappointment with the loss of Best Buy is the exclusive steelbooks. I do hope Walmart or someone takes up the slack with those, but I fear there's going to be a loss of the amounts of releases that get one now. I'm with steelbooks the way you are with slipcovers - sometimes if I'm on the fence about a title the fact there's a steelbook will be the deciding factor to buy.
Here's the thing. Best Buy is exponentially cheaper than these boutique labels. Those who don't care must not mind paying 3-5x more for THE SAME movies.
Not always true. Keep in mind that Amazon and Walmart are probably your best bet price wise in the absence of Best Buy. I'm just providing alternatives and letting you know the advantages of buying directly from the labels.
I don't see what the big deal is. Bc best buy is not a good place to buy your physical media. I stop going and shopping with best buy 2 yrs ago. When best buy shrunk there physical media down to just a few rows of physical media. I do 98 percent of my shopping at deep discount. And I would not be surprised if best buy in the next 5 yrs would be out of business. Bc if you go into a best buy store now. There shelves are empty on everything you would be looking for
I love the fact that your still fighting for physical media Ken. Despite what is going on with Physical media in America. You're my hero you give me hope fight the good fight 💪💪💿💿💽💽
My Best Buy pretty much stopped selling physical media over a year ago now it’s basically TVs computers washer dryer, dishwasher, stoves
I will miss their exclusive steel books

This channel saved me so much money! I love it!
Film Treasures in the UK is great for boutique labels from the US and Australia
About the only place now here in Calgary is Sunrise Records. And surprise is London Drugs still is holding out for physical media.

Awesome! Thanks for the idea!
Wear can you get more movies at ?
vineger syndrone reminds me of limited run games. alot of there stuff are limited releases.
I like this! Good idea, ken!
I've ordered from Orbit DVD, Hamilton Book, Arrow Video, Criterion Collection, and Shout Factory.

Orbit DVD and Grindhouse actually have physical locations as well if you're in the southeast
Good video idea mate, all other content creators forgot to include other options for physical sales, cheers
In the UK we have hmv the shop and website but over the years they are not as good as I remember
I’m glad you made this for those who might not know.
Thank you very much Ken for different options
I only buy during sales

Yeah that's thousands of movies not sold across the nation!🤔

Best Buy exclusives FOMO kicking in for me 😅
Dammit. I go to Best Buy to get my steelbooks. I like to look and make sure they aren't dented like they frequently are when you order online.

are any of them ship internationally?

Try local flea markets too

Thank you for what you do!
In Grindhouse you don’t pay taxes and you do in diabolik
Mine still has a healthy selection but we’ll see what happens next year.
I only saw the movie, "Bug", with Bradford Dillman, from the 1970's. Not the one with Ashley Juggs.
Hi,
This will cause prices to skyrocket in a short time.
Resellers are going to benefit from this.
Definitely think so too. I have a video about it coming soon!
