Physical Media actually works out cheaper than the streaming services... And THIS is why !
Do you use streaming services ? Do you look at how much you spend on these services vs how much you use them ?
Is your Blu Ray / 4K collection better to keep going than falling into too many subscriptions ?
Fire off in the comments, lets discuss...

Always look forward to your vids bud, and the editing has improved a lot too.
@@andregomes1590 thank you Andre 🙏🏼
Glad you look forward to these videos, looking at how I can squeeze a little more time to keep getting better at the production of them. I try to improve something a little each time. Try !
I go to op shops (thrift shops) and get movies for $1 each. Had to cancel my Netflix and Disney so I can get through all the movies I have backlogged. Best part is I get to choose all the movies I want and not limited to whatever is on Netflix which has barely any older movies. And don’t spend a cent on streaming.
@@xkimopye Netflix have really shifted what they have on platform. More focused on being their own thing with their own exclusives now. Think all of us collectors have a healthy backlog we should focus on !
The reason I buy blu rays is so I don’t have to have streaming services unless a new tv show that’s exclusive is the only time I’ll buy a video streaming service. I currently have 0 services
@@MysticEdge97 I’d love to try dropping them all to be honest. But… kids wouldn’t know what to do if I said just use the discs we have 😂 they whoop the content on Netflix and Disney.
I think you do the next thing really. Just the odd month when the right movie or show comes up.
@@PhillwithadoubleLI am building a plex server of my content so my kids can watch on their iPad or whatever. It’s kinda like my own streaming service
A charity shop close to me has started selling all their non boxset dvds for 10p! It's been a great way to pick up some titles on a whim or just to give them a try without having to invest much cash. If I like them enough I can always pick up a blu ray at a later date. The selection is small but I reckon I've picked up around 6/7 over a few weeks. I picked up Trainspotting 2 the other day.
Some really bargains out there if you take a few mins out to look further than the streaming menu screens
I need to stop being so precious about the formats, I’ve turned my nose up at DVD too many times in the past, think I’ve missed out on some real bargains and treasures because of it. Depending on the title I think the DVD at a fraction of the price is a good starting point just to see if you like a particular title before you drop a lot more money on the ‘better’ Blu Ray or 4k copy.
Great video! The plant pot on the shelf was a distraction as it looked like it was part of your hair in some scenes.👍
@@jasontaylor3012 😂😂 that damn plant pot. I did try changing it out for another but the alternative I got didn’t look quite right. So, suffering from the crazy hair look !
I completely agree with the premise of this video.
@@josephb8268 I need to focus on physical again. I feel like I’ve just been distracted by the ease of streaming.
I had two adds for streaming services during this video 🤣 they are trying to sway the argument away from you Phill, I have Prime, Netflix, Disney Plus and Paramount Plus…..I do use them as a try before I buy (and that’s if they do ever release their products on physical form) but on the whole they are not needed 🤔 nice one mate, take care👍😃👍
@@kermitsghost ha, damn those well placed adverts 😂
We use the services we have to be fair. I should limit them a little rather than have them running all the time but the kids are heavy users of at least Disney and Netflix.
Prime comes with the shipping. Apple TV we’re currently to watching a couple of shows on but may cancel that for a little while once we’ve finished up with them.
I wish I could take my dvds to a charity shop. All I ever get is them saying we don't need them. They don't want them because stuff ain't selling. Just like all the clothes shoved in the back that aren't going nowhere. Stuff I like isn't always in the charity shop,so I have to go elsewhere.
@@streamoftimesavesnine99 Im never particularly lucky in charity shops with the titles that they have. Normally end up on CEX or Music Magpie to try and find particular titles.
I never like to just bin things either, even though they’re worthless to a lot of folks with what I previously paid for them I’d like to see them used elsewhere. Sending to landfill just seems a massive waste.
And we don't know this, I don't have Disney +or Netflix, just amazon prime and Now, Phill if you have too much and you have, cut back!
I recently got about 8 older titles on DVD in HMV for around £20!!
@@DavidMander-rs4uk it’s amazing isn’t it, I’ve been too quick in the past to write DVDs off as old tech. Really, but silly when I could save so much by just not being so precious about format.
I only have YT Premium (because the ads are insane) and Netflix, though the latter will probably be cancelled after Xmas. Using it atm for old shows like the Star Treks, Friends and Seinfeld as I've just moved and have none of my stuff yet, and I do want to see season 2 of All of Us Are Dead which is supposedly out in Dec. After that.. gone!
@@codyw1 I’m gonna downgrade Netflix. The kids use it a lot so don’t want to fully cancel. I’d happily cancel that one at the minute though.
The good thing with prime is that it’s a benefit with the shipping offer. That at least is used frequently!
I used to have netflix and it has virtually no movie i was interested in. I'd rather pay £20 and buy a blu ray or 4k movie I want to own than spend £10 a month and watch nothing.
@@garyrobinson8665 i used to try and watch the Netflix exclusives… truth of the matter is that for me, few and far between I’ve actually really enjoyed.
The kids watching Netflix regular is the thing that keeps me subscribing at the moment, if not for that then I would possibly be cancelling sooner rather than later.
They have about five movies pre-2000 lol
Some great points and really funny too pal 😂
@@pugwall316 glad you enjoyed it buddy ✌🏼
Phill you must be happy Tubi has finally come to the UK recently. Have you checked it out? Been huge in the US for horror fans to check out lots for free plus there's lots of newer films on there with no physical release or only a dvd.
@@MoviePalaceOfBlood I have indeed checked it out. Some decent films on there to be fair. Doesn’t seem quite as stacked as its US counterpart but it’s still early days for the platform over here. Personally, I think it’s great !
i agree ive been picking up really good movies a lot of rate and hard to find at a decent price martrial arts movies at charity shops five for a pound on dvd and blu ray, on ebay and amazon nearly 5 to 10 pound each and not on streaming at all. great video cheers
Yeah, I defo need to investigate the charity shops and flea markets a little more there’s bargains out there if you’re willing to take a look around rather than just sitting glaring into the abyss of the streaming menu screens.
I get your point here and do feel that it's hard for one person to really get the most out of multiple streaming services. But, for those of us with families the range of content available is far cheaper than buying physical media all the time.
And for those of us that are trying to have a more restrained approach to collecting, the streaming services over a valuable opportunity to try before you buy. Or to scratch that itch when you want to watch something but don't need to own it.
I think this, and the amount of exclusives, make them an ideal partner to buying physical media.
I feel they are a helpful tool for those of that watch your channel who are concerned about the addictive nature of collecting. ❤
@@Tokyo3-EVA agreed.
There’s no way I’m limiting my services. Kids really do hammer the crap out of at least two of the services. Prime comes as a benefit with the postage thing on Amazon. Plus, the kids really aren’t bothered about physical media. The digital services are their way of enjoying their entertainment. I can’t deny that.
I’ve slipped with the pick ups recently. Done a lot more than I intended. Need to keep in mind what selection I have at my fingertips before that buy button in my head starts flashing.
Totally agree great vid 🎉🎉
It is amazing how much cheaper some things are physically than digitally. I find it especially cheaper to buy games physically (when its an option) over digital because you can buy them for the same price or much cheaper if you wait for a bit.
@@AlexGreat321 absolutely, those physical titles sure do plummet. Especially this time of year, on the run up to Christmas we’ve got the Black Friday shenanigans and then the multi buy deals from some retailers. A little patience can save a lot.
I’ve seen it with computer games too. As soon as they drop out of favour, those prices rapidly drop. Picked up a PS4 title for a fiver not so long back. I’ve seen the digital drop no more than to around £7.99 🤷🏼♂️
The Magpie's great tbh.
4 BluRays for £5 🤷
That's your 8 movies a month only costing a tenner 👍
I did the Marvel buy-up partly CeX and Magpie.
That saves a Fiver a month for D+.
Between Marvel and Star Wars, that's all that's on it lol
Waste of a sub cost
@@johnnycarrotheid I need to check music magpie more regularly. Couldn’t believe how much stuff drops so cheap.
Really some great offers on the older films.
@@PhillwithadoubleL
Definitely.
Great for a v cheap DVD to BluRay upgrade path for anything sat on the shelf on DVD if you have any.
Tip... Buy 4 at most at a time.
It fits in the letterbox 👍
Their delivery service is hit or miss
@@johnnycarrotheid I think all delivery services seem hit and miss at the moment. Well, at least around my area they’re pretty bad anyway. I’ll keep the tip in mind. Saves a headache further down the line !
@@PhillwithadoubleL
Same here, black Friday and Xmas coming up as well, deliveries become a dumpster fire esp at this time
@@johnnycarrotheid high street HMV multi buy deals through December are usually pretty solid.
Hey, I thought you might be interested in the new 'Texas Chainsaw 4k' housed in a big plastic Chainsaw...only mentioned it 'cause it's a LiMiteD Edition and it's only $300 and I know how much you like those 🤭
@@OzzyMandias 😂😂 you know how many funko pops I could get for $300 ?! I could melt those down and make 3 plastic chainsaws 😂
It’s silly expensive for something that won’t really sit nicely on my shelves because… there’s just not the space ! Plus, it’s a lot for plastic really ain’t it !
@@PhillwithadoubleL You could actually buy a real chainsaw for that and live the dream...
@@OzzyMandias 😂😂 it was because of the movies… they told me to do it.
Unfortunately my favorite show (Lockwood and Co) was cancled and Netflix never releases DvD so I can't physically own it. 😭
@@SaveLockwoodNCo ugh, the streaming decide gatekeeping with their content.
Seems such a shame that they very rarely open up the option to physically own titles. To be honest, I think they’re kinda missing out when there are plenty of dodgy websites and services offering up their content that they don’t get a slice of.
@PhillwithadoubleL I agree. I think they could make so much more many but doing physical copies. Especially since these cancled shows are just going to be sitting on these streaming services until they take them off. This account is a part of a save campaign to try and get the tv show saved. It's sad just how many fans have to start save campaigns to try amd get their favorite show back!
I love checking the local charity shops for bargain films
10 Blu-ray movies for £10
Can’t go wrong
@@shanethrelfall416 I kinda wanna recapture the fun of being able to go hunting for things again. Been far too reliant on streaming, it’s made me lazy !
10 for a tenner is pretty amazing ain’t it.
@@PhillwithadoubleL Difficult too these days, gotta get to the shops before the resellers go through everything
Can’t beat finding a film you’ve been thinking of buying for a while at a really decent price
Certainly a lot better than paying a TV License. Forget that shite.
@@qasimmir7117 ain’t that the truth. Not sure why tv license is still a thing to be honest 🤷🏼♂️
I sometimes buy digital cause it save me money on out of print title or collectors sets. I got sidekicks on digital 4k for 2.99 instead of paying 60 for a 4k of movie I just want to watch once in awhile
@@popculture3394 I do exactly the same at times. Those digital ‘purchases’ are great options depending on the movie.
well recently as in yesterday got Greyfriars bobby for £3.93 with postage from prime to but it on prime video £9.99 just an off the cuff example its on dvd but its mine
@@paulrose319 perfect example right there. 🙌🏼
@@PhillwithadoubleL 9 out of the 10 times i get films for nothing from my pa hes husband work as a manger at age uks Birstall recycling centre so cost to me directly nothing all her husband does is put a few quid into the charity box recycling centres have have or in this case have 9000 tiles at any one time to chose from and may as for a small donation and i have gotten several factory sealed films with the wrapping still on all he can't get as its a some what radon section choice are the latest and greatest
I have Prime since it started but that was for the free postage not for streaming. I also have UA-cam Premium because I'm not a cheapskate and don't won't to deprive small creators from getting some coin by running an add blocker. Appart from that no one else will ever get a penny from me especially companies like netflix, disney etc 👍🍺
@@snowymatrix same with prime, mainly for the postage. Unfortunately Netflix and Disney are staples for the kids. Although I might drop to the tier for each slightly.
Very True!
It is… and yet I’ve still not cancelled any streaming subscriptions !
It’s the kids man, they keep me paying for these things… to be fair, they do use they a lot.
@@PhillwithadoubleL Understandable. Children will do that. Glad it gets used, Ween them off and turn them to "The DiscSide".
Personally I have the Disney+ Hulu Bundle (use more than the rest throughout a year). Everything else is canceled. Mainly because all the "Originals" that Netflix, Apple, Etc that I watch are off season/once a year lol. Therefore no need to have them at the moment.
I have my physical media (old and new), Audio Dramas (which are monthly), You & Glenn, and some other UA-cam channels.
Very compelling case for physical media but also give a little on the streaming aspect, you have all the movies you want on your iPad when you’re on vacation,etc.If worse comes to worse and all the movies you have are gone for reasons unknown and it’s just a little painful but at least you have your own collection to turn to at least , good video Phill!👍
@@lippmb78 thanks Anthony
I don’t think I’ll actually be cancelling any services. It’s given me food for thought but my kids love having Disney and Netflix on tap… and honestly, they do get good usage out of them.
I have my digital (working away) selection. I’m not worried about losing the digital bits, if a movie is that important to me I’ll get it physical.
Think it’s just a case of considering options / availability when you’re deciding to either subscribe to something / rent it digitally or buy a physical copy. I think I’m guilty of taking the easiest path rather than considering all the options.
1. I pirate the movies
2. I put the movies onto a disk
3. I print out the covers so it looks real
4. I put it on the shelf.
5. I keep a backup copy on several HDDs
6. Boom! Physical and digital media for almost no cost.
Great video!!! I’m right there with you, but try to just have one streamer a month with more intention. Prime seems to be an easy one to forget about though since it’s so cheap (only $10AU)
@@trashonvideo thanks man.
I would absolutely try to stick with just one service at a time but I can’t really do it to the family. The kids absolutely rinse a couple of the services. The wife wants to keep prime for the delivery aspect… I will however look at the tiers and maybe get them a little lower.
I dont support streaming services and only buy physical
@@alexgrayisaligman there have been some ok things on streaming exclusive. But generally… only ok.
I want to make sure my focus falls to physical again, of course I’m a collector so really should start looking at the back log rather than the new kinda average movies that streaming offers.
50$ x 12 per year...😢
@@MuhamadNazrin-y6b it gets away from you a little doesn’t it when we subscribe to these services thinking it’s only $10 a month… and then you do that several times and suddenly it’s mounting way up.
@@PhillwithadoubleL yess, then we cannot hold a thing + the movie moving around among the stream services and sometimes restricted by locations
Yes and no 🤔 depents how much you watch/buy movies and where you live. Sure, (used) dvd and bluray releases are cheap after a while, if you live in , or near, a big city. I live middle of nowhere so no matter how cheap the movie is theres always those shipping cost (4,20e-7e) that rise the prices 😥👎
@@DVDhoarder my recommendation buying in a bulk should be good for shipping fee..some market offer free delivery after a bulk of purchase eg amazon..save you money bit a bit until reach certain amount for free delivery..
@@DVDhoarder do you have access to a mail forwarding service. Bulk everything together in one location and then ship them all together ? I’ve been looking at using a similar method to import from overseas. Shipping cost can be stinger at times
£40 on streaming services per month is mental imo. No way ☝️. Surely you would be better off buying cheap digital titles as you don't want to fill your shelves with more physical media do you 🤷
@@MattVs_Movies to be honest Matt, each of the services kinda has a reason to exist for me. The kids whoop the sh!t out of Disney and Netflix. Amazon comes along with their delivery thing which we do like having as we use them a lot. Apple TV is the one platform that personally I’d choose to have.
I absolutely do want to fill my shelves with physical media… just for the right movies. Need to keep in mind when picking things up… I don’t always need to keep them in my collection. Moving forward with the collecting it will be considered what I keep but I won’t stop picking up !
We were once paying upwards of £100 a month for Sky not so long ago, which was plastered in adverts, I don’t think £40 is a big deal in comparison.
Not to mention, you can drop in and out as you please, rotate the services to keep the costs down even more.
@@servare2599 we were the same with sky tv for a while. Cancelled that because of the price. The streaming services get hammered by the kids to be fair. Even if personally I don’t watch much… the kids smash those viewing figures !
@@servare2599 just seems alot to me
Your monthly outgoings on streaming services are obviously for the benefit of your wife and children. I would hazard a guess that your family have little to no interest in your physical media collecting habits. You are in a minority like all of us who collect.
@@outpost3178 truth.
Yeah the kids absolutely make use of Disney and Netflix. Amazon prime we have mainly as benefit along with the feee shipping. Apple TV is the main one I’m using at the moment for the tv stuff and a couple of movies (personally I think they have the best quality content, just not quite as much)
@@PhillwithadoubleLAgree with you on Apple TV. Excellent content and picture & sound quality is outstanding for a streaming service. Certainly better than the usual suspects.
