I’m just astonished by the release of films I’ve always wanted to see or thought I’d never see again on physical media.

And the extras are terrific.

Now, I’d be a very happy man if someone released The New Morning of Billy the Kid

I don't mind buying online at all. It is pretty annoying how little is released in my country, but is in Germany (Amazon NL has German releases), so I order in the USA. Shipping goes up fast because one order may have multiple shipping costs, even when it's all from Amazon.

All 5 major studios have new 4K masters announced every week.

It’s a fantastic time to get into physical media. You’re just not looking in the right spots.

I launched http://shiny-things.ghost.io two and a half years ago to write about physical releases, and they just keep giving me more stuff to cover.

I'm tired of people on here and YouTube constantly declaring "the death of physical media". Like, haven't these people been paying attention to the wealth of new releases and restorations?

Sure, it's become a niche thing again (which it was back in the days of laserdisc). For those of us who have been collecting movies long enough, it's just history repeating itself.

Our local video store (cinema one) is closing their shop in our mall. Such a bummer. Loved walking the aisles

The BFI (British Film Institute) are also releasing some great titles.

The only physical place to buy Blu ray's etc near me is a place called CEX (all 2nd hand / pre used).
Have to make a special trip if I want to visit an HMV shop (Norwich or Cambridge) being the nearest to me

Preach, brother! Besides physical media, I also do over-the-air TV. Between the two, if I had a $ for every person who says "Is that still a thing?" I'd be rich.

I manage a video store and last year was our biggest year ever.

Until we broke that record this week. There is so much good stuff coming out that people want.

I haven’t bought physical media from a brick and mortar retailer for at least a decade. I have over 3000 BDs and DVDs. I typically know about and preorder discs well in advance.

I was very sad the day my local shop with electronic that used to have a big range of blu-rays welcomed me with empty shelves. Buying online is all good, but I loved the days where I could just browse around in shop to look for some good movies in good prices and do spontaneous purchases.
