Does anyone still buy and collect DVDs?

You still got that set up?

 

Who’s the DVD’s for, the guests ?

 

Anybody notice more marked down blu rays, yet to see any 4Ks...guess they’ll materialize when 8K discs appear,

 

About 250 DVDs, give or take... (That's counting box sets as one title-I didn't count each disc from each set as a separate disc.)

Grand total of 2 Blu-Rays (Used the same criteria for counting Blu-Rays as the DVDs.)

 

Black Friday sales had several 4K discs in the $7-10 range.

 

They come with bD discs +more stylished designed amrays.

 

And now we come to Australia where it seems about 50-ish% of BluRay titles are not released.

Latest TV series? Only if it is not a comedy (apart from "The Big Bang Theory").

Old movies? Did it win an Oscar? No? And it isn't "The Wizard Of Oz"? Then it's probably not available. Especially if it was released prior to 1984. Again, there are exceptions: James Bond, "Jaws", a few Disney movies and, strangely, a few horror movies (thanks to indie DVD company Umbrella).

How about old TV shows? If it isn't "Thunderbirds" then the answer is "Are you joking?".

I buy DVD's. I import some BluRays. I have no interest in 4K because my eyesight deteriorated a fair bit several months ago. Now, maybe I am looking in the wrong shops for titles. But if it isn't in JB HiFi or EzyDVD then I'm pretty much out of options.

 

Some recent DVD purchases: Advise and Consent (1962); Reflections in a Golden Eye (1967)
Neither has a U.S. Blu-ray release. Both look very good upscaled. Oddly, Warner released Reflections on Blu-ray in France!

 

Horror movies do well because that audience is VERY loyal and puts it's money where it counts. Definitely the genre where the most "f-list" titles are getting released.

 

I've found a lot of great TV shows (mainly older shows) on DVD, and I have been purchasing quite a few of them.

Scooby Doo, Where Are You?
The Huckleberry Hound Show, Volume 1
The Yogi Bear Show
Galtar and the Golden Lance
Sky Commanders
The Pirates of Dark Water

any BD in there?

 

yea, I picked up Deadpool 2 4K for $6.99...

 

Goodwill sells the heck out of DVDs, but as for me, it has to be Blu-ray on sale, not going for 4K Dolby Vision, until they get their pricing right, so it's Blu-ray for me.

 

A lot of folk buy the DVD /Blu Ray for download code,download film give the DVD/BD to charity shop...eliminates clutter.

 

Got about 20 DVD titles the other day ( a few BD).

 

I just picked up The White of the Eye, Grand Hotel and The Grand Budapest Hotel. The last two were $5.

 

Yeah I got The White Of The Eye blu ray for 5.00.

 

Nice, I never could find a deal so I got it for $15 blu/dvd.

 

Yeah that’s what I got don’t understand these twofers as I only play the blu ray.

 

I still buy DVD's too, they upscale to 1080 so for most movies I'm happy with that.

 

the only time I will buy a DVD is when there is no BD available. I am overloaded with DVDs!

 

DVDs=overpriced...fair if one can find a BD since they don't differentiate.

 

Yeah my dvd collection has loads better titles
than my blu ray collection (moredvds ).

 

sometimes the kiddies...or older parents

 

agreed, I have 5 times as many DVDs than BD...but BD is so much better!
