I’m a movie collector and this is an outrage, we gotta do something to prevent this from happening.
There are other places to buy physical media.
It might look a bit different 20 years from now though.
@@yggdrasil7942 I hope not
@collgoff In 20 years, we'll have something that's far more superior than blu rays. I don't give a rats arse about streaming as theg don't give you the features that physical media gives.
@@yggdrasil7942 I just in 20 years there might be a way to make things we like to come back and no things with streaming to be too expensive.
@collgoff In 20 years I'll be a pensioner, so it won't bother me as much as you youngsters.
They're selling vinyls again. What goes around comes back around.
I'm still a collector at heart. I don't think physical media will completely go away, I think it will just evolve to being a niche for collectors and go back to the ways of Laserdiscs that very few people had and was only enticing for the collectors market.
I agree I think Best Buy will change their mind
@@wk2172 oh thank goodness
@@MorganNye they haven’t yet but they will I have a hunch
@@wk2172 Ok.
@maddox121 ok
We should keep DVD's, VCD's, VHS, blu ray, CD's, vinyl and cassettes alive even in this digital age.
@@BenHermans-cv7re Yep.
I have SO many dvds and the thought of them going away is legit sad. Streaming just isn’t reliable enough in my opinion.
I agree 😔
Same we need to do something
@@jofbeats11 I agree 👍
Totally agreed. Streaming is not reliable enough in my opinion; sure it's fine for 90% of the movies out there, but for classics and favorites I still want to have my own copies available any time I want. I also don't trust the streaming companies to not dramatically jack up their prices once they control all content available to us.
what happens when the internet goes out? what are you doing then?
Nobody ever thinks of that … I do all the time. Or when a hacker holds a company for ransom. Ppl are short sighted idiots
Go outside?
Who cares! 99% of my DVD’s comes from Ebay and Amazon
People who simply stream movies, are simply casual film fans. If they were real movie buffs, they would know that PC censorship is destroying the movies of the past, and are now only available to stream in their edited version. And there are very few past movies that will be completely free of censorship. Also, a lot of streamers are realising that despite multiple subscriptions to streaming services, they can often never find a particular movie they wish to watch on any of these services. A friend of mine says he regularly has to visit UA-cam or illegal streaming sites to find many movies, DESPITE having subscriptions to Apple TV, Amazon prime, paramount, Netflix and Disney. Insane..... Physical collectors will have the last laugh
You hit the nail on the head….. it’s all about control and once the companies know you have no alternative the will raise rates too
Poop idea all the way around to stream. The only benefit is space saving. Takes less room. Other than that…. It will be less options, more money, and definitely defiantly more censorship
So tired of the PC garbage culture we live in. Screw ppls feelings
Agreed. There’s so many older shows & movies that are impossible to get access to outside of dvd due to either companies losing their licenses or because of licensing greed where multiple companies own a show or mouth & can’t decide which one of their streaming services to put it on because then the other owners get mad because they won’t make enough money. Look at South Park constantly changing between it’s 2 companies’ streaming services which is why there was a whole war between the 2 companies trying to get streaming rights to it which I think Warner bros might’ve won but idk.
What I don’t understand is why these studios are doing it to themselves. The marvels tanked, Indiana Jones 5 tanked, almost every Disney movie in 2023 tanked & the reason is not only cause of their content being meh, but because of streaming. Why go pay more if you can just watch it at home for free? Then they wonder why their movies are bombing at the box office & why they’re losing so much money. They’re doing it to themselves which takes away from the movie feeling special or feeling like an event but also takes away from people’s interest if they can just watch it a few weeks or a month or 2 later when it immediately goes to streaming. It’s a sad state these companies are in but they’re doing it to themselves when the simple solution would be to not count on streaming anymore & just leave it to Netflix to be the only streaming service as well as Hulu & Amazon prime.
I really hope you're right 😊
THIS is the point. By ending sales of private physical sales they have total control over the movie media we watch and how it’s censored in the future. The same will happen with physical print media for the same reason. I’ve been buying important books and movies for a few years because I’ve felt this was coming. Crazy or not, I’m glad I still have a cassette player and tapes, a turntable and records, 8-track and tapes to listen to the music of my life and VHS and DVD to watch the movies that are important to me.
I'm saying bye, bye to best buy.
Best Buy either way stopped being fun since like 2015
i agree and then when they go bankrupt... don't come crying to the customers. they made their choice.. so live with and take the medicine. what they going do.. make us take our tower on PC and burn to blank DVD from movies online. gg ppl
@@destinypowers1146 is this forever?
Same. I’ll no longer be going there. TVs? Oh please, you just need to get a tv once in your life at least, unless you want to upgrade or something happens to it, then you go to IKEA or target or wherever because many stores sell them. Screw Best Buy. They’re so foolish, cause that’s one of their biggest sources of income due to DVDs changing every month with new movie releases & even shows after their seasons or series wrap up.
I hope so best buy will going out of business.
I hope they never go extinct. It's always nice to have your favorite entertainment in physical form. You will always need Internet to stream something.
Agreed
I feel outraged that they’re making this decision which is NOT okay to me personally because I still love DVDs and collecting them.
I don’t want everything to be digital or digital copies forever, this must be prevented indefinitely because this I am extremely concerned and disappointed with their decision, my voice must be heard please, WTF!?!? 😬🤬
Me too! 😤😡
We need to protest
Fr, but what can we do? Other than just keep buying dvds from Amazon or from the actual stores instead of digital. I don’t think there’s much else we can do to change their mind. But to each their own, Best-Buy is going to regret it. That’s one of their biggest sources of income which is why it doesn’t make sense to me, TVs get bought very rarely, cause you buy at least one in your entire life unless you want to upgrade or unless your tv gets damaged somehow. But with dvds, they change & get new theater releases as well as shows that finished their seasons or ended their series every month on dvd. It’s the only thing (minus action figures although those aren’t in every Best Buy) that changes & gets newer things to keep people interested almost every month. When best buy goes out of business & I’m sure it will after this, they are going to regret it.
@@packedentertainment2866 Yep! Exactly my thoughts as well. 😲👏👏
@@packedentertainment2866 I actually got 2 TVs in my life. Well, actually 3, because I had a small TV first, a 20'. Then, I got a bigger one, a 43' TV and that one got cracked really bad by accident. (Was trying to move with my dad's help) Then, got a 40' TV which I still have.
BEST BUY STATEMENT: "To state the obvious, the way we watch movies and TV shows is much different today than it was decades ago."
ME: So what? I still watch movies on VHS!
They’re just forcing people to go to streaming
@@packedentertainment2866 Exactly. I mean, I use streaming, but I also use physical media too. 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️😮💨
I still have my VHS, 8-track, and cassette players and media too. I even have a Victrola!
Sadly my local video store is closing out by the end of the month and sold all the DVDs as of now it’s only a mini mart from their half of the store. Been a member since the mid-90s and it holds so much memories renting videos, DVDs, and video games.
I’d rather go back to DVDs, which I am slowly getting to, than pay so much for streaming monthly.
Vinyl was also sent to the grave as was CD's, now look at them, massive sales and so will Blu-ray's bounce back, it's all about market trends and demand created by prosperous economy.
Too bad our economy is not prospering lol record inflation buddy
7$ cereal lmao
Thanks Joe ….. keep sniffing childrens hair tho.
DVDs and Blu-ray need to continue no matter what, they are great to have and I don't think everyone is afford streaming.
Not until they pry the DVDs out of my cold, dead fingers!
I just don't get it with streaming you don't own a thing and when they decide to remove it from the platform its gone , i collect physical media because i love movie artworks etc and you don't get that from some streaming service , i only use streaming when i can't find something in physical form or i want to watch something before buying in on Blu or 4k
its just a movie. you act like they're taking away your car.
@@joeybaseball7352 I'm entitled to my opinion and I'm sure there is shit you would give a dam about that I wouldn't , and that's a bit exaggerated isn't it ? I was acting like they were taking my car lol I didn't get all emotional I stated an opinion.
I feel that streaming is only good for renting things.
How many people can afford that.
Just more money for Amazon.
Why can’t everyone else in the world just stop streaming and go back to dvd’s? 2017 ruined it! They ruined it too! This is why streaming shouldn’t have existed! Why streaming why?! Having physical copies makes more sense so you won’t have to be empty handed with nothing in your house so you can pick something to watch without having to scroll thru menus like Disney+ for example, (which sucks also) also Netflix stopped being fun in 2015, why can’t it not have any of its own shows? People need to stop streaming. Hulu Amazon prime video Netflix and Disney+ gotta go
U already know why more ppl like too stream more and cd's are eye candy and nostalgia on your behalf .....this is basic mortal technology lmao
@@kyleleriche why do people like streaming better? What’s with this little respect for dvd’s?
@@MorganNye you poisined L yall always have the son of elohym is god ,the son of man is four god...
@@MorganNye u dont like streaming , then aprt of one is not for streaming
@@MorganNye why didnt u help out blockbuster......................
This is so wrong. Now the prices for streaming will go up, people are going to miss more shows and movies because they won't be able to afford. And now they are going to put all those people who create the dvds out business. Not to mention that stores selling them are going to lose profits. It's just wrong and sad.
Not to mention movies like Austin Powers or like Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory that got their revenue from dvd & physical copies that made them turn into classics will no longer exist. Movies that lost money at the box office usually would then make that money back from dvd sales if they failed to get the money they used for the budget back. Like look at the recent flash movie it lost Warner bros 200-300 million dollars which is why they had to sell James Gunn’s recent looney tunes spin-off movie as a write off to save money despite it being their IP & then the recent Batman Christmas movie to Amazon prime instead of Max. Also Disney lost about 200 million dollars on the little mermaid remake due to it underperforming. I wouldn’t be surprised if more movie companies will start to file for bankruptcy & go out of business if dvds just stop existing. Not to mention all the future possibility of classics we’ll miss out on. Like DC’s DCAU movies & the Tomorrowverse movies that were straight to dvd movies or like Curse Of Chucky & Cult Of Chucky. Cause it’s like impossible to find movies in streaming because you don’t know what to look for & then there’s like 500 things left & right & then when they get removed they’re removed for forever. It’s brutal out here. It’ll be sad if dvds do end up going extinct after BestBuy’s bad decision.
I would love to buy movies in disks if I had the space for it..There is a limit of owning stuff..😔
Well its a good thing i haven't shopped at best buy, since i was a kid. Lol
Lol. Well I only go to Best Buy for dvds so I guess that’s it now, I’ll have to stop going there completely. Cause what else am I gonna buy? Why would you need to buy TVs if you buy one once & then won’t need to replace it unless you want an upgrade or unless it gets damaged? Or phone chargers are the same thing. Dvds change every month with new theaters releases or shows that have finished their seasons on tv & go to dvd after meaning with dvds you have a reason to keep going to best buy because of it. They’re going to regret this awful decision & when they go bankrupt & close down because of this … it’ll be their fault.
@@packedentertainment2866 I agree
The reason for having my own copies is that streaming services are not yours. I “buy” a digital copy from a service but once I leave the service I lose my digital copy. When I buy a DVD it’s mine. Also, and more importantly, if I have the original copy, unlike a streaming or digital version, it can’t be changed later for social/cultural purposes to make everyone happy. I bought several classics (as well as books) after 2018 to be sure that I had them before they were pulled or changed forever. I guess I’ll be buying more in the near future.
Dvds dont even look bad off hdmi
Agreed the difference ain’t that stunning smh
Ppl are idiots
It’s like giving away your freedom because some nut job uses a gun wrong. Wait a minute….. we already are doing that
We did it with speech, guns, etc…. The erosion of rights because of PC or safety concerns
Why not stop showing films on streaming too now? Surely some bad actor is pirating it. Can’t have that. Just stop it for everyone because Johnny pirate. That’s what you do with guns and speech right? This is different because of money. That’s it
They are not the the only fish in the sea.
I have dvds from 20 years ago collecting dust.
If people bought more DVDs and blu-rays, stores would keep selling them. Stop complaining with your keyboards and complain with your wallet. If you want to fight everything switching to digital you need to be willing to go purchase the movies and tv shows you love on physical media.When you purchase a digital copy of something, you're on borrowed time. As soon as a streaming service loses the rights to that content - you do too. I've had my digital purchases on amazon be completely erased - and there's nothing you can do about it. I tried. So I don't buy digital movies or tv shows anymore. If I want something, I'll buy it on blu-ray. If I have to get it digitally because there was no dvd release, then I will make sure it ends up on a hard-drive so I can keep it. Then I make backups too in case of hardware failure. A little bit of diligence and time will mean you get to keep your purchase as long as you want to.
Hey I’m 28 years old and I prefer buying high quality discs vs streaming things I don’t own!
I’m 19 & I agree
Yeah not worried. My stuff gonna play for a long time. Twister...if it din't get 4K, I will be greatly surprised.
Robin i know this is off topic, but its on my heart to ask how you been feeling? So much going on in our world. This world needs to show they care and show love. I just want to say I've always loved you and pray the best for you, and all dealing with health or anything right now
I have over 3,000 movies (DVDS, Blu-rays and 4Ks) and I will keep building my collection which started in 1999 with snap case copy of Goodbye Lover. 24 years invested and you'll be able to get them cheaper online, especially from Shout Factory, Arrow, Criterion, Synapse, Umbrella, Vestron, on Amazon and E-bay or simply at Target, Walmart, Dollar Tree, Dollar General, Family Dollar and any remaining FYE locations. I really don't buy anything from Best Buy anyways. I just got my new dishwasher from Brandsmart for $249 for a $1099 originally priced, plus they do delivery, installation and haul away for $129, when Best Buy charges, $99 for delivery for appliances below $399 and online I think its $179 for installation and delivery. Best Buy went from quality store to pointless store. Sucks but what are you gonna do about it.
I’ll tell you what to do…. Stop going to Best Buy lol
If enough ppl stopped going they’d go outta business or change their model. Simple
Ppl just have no kahunnas today
I sell random things on ebay, you have any advice on what collector's like you are looking for?
I hope not, i'm a little vintage and i need to have some titles physically, even i'm waiting for a red white royal blue bluray collectors edition
Movies and TV shows are beginning to stream like on Disney +, Peacock, and Paramount + it has gone in a big expansion so now dvd's would likely disappear overtime.
I doubt it
That Twister dvd price is just stupid
"Only Buy noo longr haw audios ar widdjoos...ah, soo thej'w diesceidedd tou tschaeny their naem tou Office Depot ar Office Max ar Staples, eh?"
There will always be small run botique releases, just as vinyl never stopped releasing.
We are some democracy - We fans dont even get a vote
Look like target following best buy footsteps in 2025 😢
That WAS the only reason I went into Best Buy. Oh well
I'm a big history buff and love movies based on true stories. It's sad that I had to subscribe to Apple TV just to be able to watch their epics Greyhound, Emancipation, Napoleon, Killers of the Flower Moon, and Masters of the Air because they have no plans to release these titles on DVD or Blu-ray anytime soon and likely never will. I'm disappointed and that Scorsese and Spielberg would agree to this nonsense especially after they both made critical comments about streaming services ruining cinema.
Why? People Still Buy Them!
2:04 This is NOT how DVDs are supposed to work...
Why can’t this be saved?
It only cant if it cant wtf lmao ....you believe with an it....youll get it a way or ......
Another way ....names for a way
I have more than 1000 dvd and blu ray , a wonderful collection of 2000 classical cd and all the legendary rock albums on vinyls…and you know what I had never paid a subscription to a streaming platform in my life and I have not enough time to enjoy all my collection.
More then ownership, quality is really concerning, imo only apple and maybe vudu have good enough compression to look similar to the disc. But with many discs going over 30mbps and the 4k discs over 50 the quality of streaming just can’t compete
Ah they’re just saying bye bye to DVDs, not to Blu-ray or 4K discs???
Physical media will always be able to buy no matter what, cos the movie companies know it’s one of the best ways they’re making money on. Old ways are the best ways. But saying that, I wish that they use flash drives instead of discs, as they can’t get scratched, etc. and take up less space.
That's some B.S. Get rid of DVD's sure. But keep those Blu-Rays or 4K discs
They're slowly fading physical Media out of circulation. Only thing that'll still stay are ones that have already been made and been sold, anything new will be streaming only.
Full time Hamiltonbooks here i come 😊
Agreed 👍 as shown on 1:22-1:28.
I just looked at ebay brand new sealed twister from 1987 and 1986 do not sell for thousands.
Best Buy Sucks Because Of Prices,Way Too High For Most Stuff!
I’m going to start buying physical media from now on
No 🤦🏽♀️😫
Sad ❤❤
@@meahdahlgren6537why can’t dvd’s be saved? 2017 killed the fun
@@meahdahlgren6537 very, I love buying CD’s, blu-rays, and DVD’s. Because streaming movies doesn’t always have a movie you want to see all you have to pay for it to see it.
he said "listed" not payed for
Streaming is NOT the way to go! With all the Liberal crybabies crying about everything, it’s only a matter of time until your favorite shows/movies get pulled off! Just look at some SpongeBob episodes! They pulled two episodes off because adult children got triggered by a cartoon. MEANWHILE, I still have those episodes safely in my DVD collection.
i thought i was the only one thinking that 😱🤯. but i only collect blu rays and vhs disney.
Best Buy may soon be extinct......
DVDs only its lunnacy to discontinued Blu ray disc,/4K Ultra HD Blu ray.
That's sad. ☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️
In the new world you will own no movies. It's all streaming.
Come on technology needs to evolve
Sorry I just don't see it. People are sick of looking for a movie then finding out it's on a service they don't have or unavailable all together. People are sick of digital purchases that can be removed or changed. I just got the James Bond collection digitally for $5 and you know what Microsoft did? Took it away, refunded me the $5 because it was a pricing error and told me to buy it again for >$100. I just got the Ultimate Edition DVD sets instead for far less money and I own them. No one can remove it. Quality is better on a Blu-ray too vs streaming. Even 4K don't look that great compared to a disc. Boutique labels are also still producing them and probably will continue to after mainstream labels get out of the game. WB and Sony seem to be the main disc producers (other studios also use them to release things). It will be sort of like how vinyl is for music. Big releases will come out physically (4K, BD, DVD) and maybe more obscure stuff will be limited to BD only.
Twister yes
Box office movies and Nostalgic movies must buy psysical media for collectors, coz psysical movies has there own history era and many memories with your family.
No it won’t
comedian Pete Davidson has been buying unopened/new vhs tapes / with studio watermark ...some are selling for thousands of dollars
Bye bye best buy
Eventually books will go extinct as well. Everything is all digital
We can’t let that happen.
Even school books are going away.
It's kind of sad, but they don't have a math book or a history book etc. It's all on Chromebook, or packets that the teacher hands out. Yes, they still read books and do book reports. I imagine eventually that'll be done online as well. I remember when a new school year would start and we would have to cover our school books to protect them and we would use paper grocery bags. Well, kids don't have to do that anymore because they don't have school books.
Books will never go extinct. The tactile satisfaction of turning a page is something that is too ingrained into human consciousness.
