The Benefits of Physical Media

[@PoleTooke]

Love the hair, man. Keep on growin' bro! 🤘🏻

[@RPKGameVids]

Having the disc with better picture and audio quality, extra features, and it being something physical which sits on the shelf that you can look at and hold just feels like a much better luxury than streaming it.

Streaming is turning more and more to TV and they keep raising the prices. Long live the physical media. The king.

[@kake4273]

I think Netflix was great 10 years ago, but time changes.

[@differentsame9402]

That backlog will be worth millions one day, and that's what the gaming industry wants to do away with: removal of power from the gamer. The Higher-ups want to turn gaming into a renting system where you rent games and never own any of them. Permanent game-pass is what they're striving for, only that it won't be subscription based for $1 monthly. All games will be full priced.

This man's collection is insane. (Respect)

[@Cameronofdune]

I’ve recently got into collecting physical movies after getting sick of the increasing prices of streaming services. My first purchase was the recently released 4K box set of Friends for the 30th anniversary… Next on the list is Halloween! Great vid by the way mate! 👍

Welcome to the party pal.

[@cinemaadvocate4567]

Been watching you for a while now, love your vids. Your comment comparing streaming services with casinos really put it in perspective. Would love a full video of how streaming sites have ruined the “movie going experience” killing attention spans and encouraging an algorithm of brainless entertainment. One of the reasons I’m a collector is the films I’m interested in you simply don’t find on streaming.

[@stark_harshly]

Worse case scenario with streaming is the tax write-off situation where the content is removed but doesn't go to a different company; its just gone.

[@Horror_Collector4Life]

Independence is more important to me today than ever before, so I don't want to become dependent on streaming services or other social networks that own every detail about me.

[@gamingtv394]

I absolutely never go on my phone when watching movies! crazy I was trying to tell someone online about it, they feel like I’m attacking them. ( I was Just trying to give advice) another one, I said I absolutely hate subtitles if I understand the language spoken, always leave them off. people nowadays like to read their movies, if you focus on subtitles you miss out on details in the picture

[@Erich_Von_Erich]

I’m very grateful for your channel, I buy every game physical now, just picked up Silent Hill 2.

[@beandude99]

I agree with much of what you said in this video. My only concern is with collecting tv shows. Whether on DVD or Blu Ray they tend to take up a lot of room. 😃

[@acolinfilm1888]

I saw Paddington 2 on the shelf in the background, that made me happy😁

[@zeroh2hero]

The thing about streaming is that they can take it away if they want I notice that because I would be almost done watching an entire series of regular show and later I think like two weeks ago it wasn’t there now I forgot were I left off witch sucks. So yes people buy physical products or what I recommend is if you want to watch a series try watching the first four episodes and if you really enjoy it then buy the entire series same with movies if you want to watch joker 2 don’t watch it in theaters watch it on HBO max and watch it and if you like it buy the physical disc. Hope this helps someone it definitely helped me strategize on how I spend money and be on a budget 😉👍

[@EduFirenze]

I started buying my favorite movies on disc when I realized streaming services throttle 4k movies. My theatrical Blu-ray of lord of the rings is old but looks better than any offerings current available and they don't have that awful DNR of the most current version.

[@arokh72]

We're Aussies, we know NBN is crap. 'Nuff said :)

[@LordDementus1987]

for me, the picture quality is noticeably better and certain cuts and features are unavailable on streaming like original/alternate audio tracks

[@ActionJackson1982]

Didn’t watch the whole video as I type this but one benefit to media I like is the different versions of a movie, cause streaming only have the theatrical cut 99% of the time. Where as you can have 2 cuts on media, sometimes more.. Blade Runner has like 4 different cuts!

[@JamieToomeyPresents]

Amen to that, multiple cuts, also director commentaries and special features like making off too

[@A.I.Gaming]

While all over the place, I understand your feelings. More human like to let the mind run the show. My feelings on advertisements have changed massively in recently times. Just simply, if you weren’t gonna buy a new car or even in the mood to buy shit anyway, why consume so many ads day in and out? I feel I’m reasonable where if the ads weren’t super abusive, I’d be ok with the occasional ad. You mentioned Tubi, and while yes it’s free, from my experience, they don’t pump ads out like YT or even cable does these days. Can’t vouch for their movie line up, but to shows it’s sub 30-45 seconds every episode. I’ll take it. But I get it, that advertising doesn’t keep the rich richer. Sadge times.

[@ActionJackson1982]

If you cancel a service they try keep you by offering you a cheaper deal or 3 months for free

[@JamieToomeyPresents]

Yeah exactly, as I mentioned, they’re structured like casinos, you wanna cancel, here’s a few free months to help change your mind, slot machines use the same tricks to keep people sitting at the machine longer, free spins for example

[@mk5346]

I think that, when it comes to streaming services, "I can have this and this many movies" makes no sense whatsoever. You'll HAVE nothing - you're ALLOWED to look at it when you want to l, BUT only as long as the licence owner lets you to.

[@charlesknowlton7198]

I never thought I'd say this, but I'm buying fewer and fewer discs all the time now. I have a HUGE collection of 4K, blu-rays and even a bunch of DVD's still on the shelf but if they don't start dropping the prices on movies, I'll be out soon. Why on earth does it cost on average over 30 bucks for any movie today. Large studio or small, that's what it costs and I'm sick of it. The studios are pushing this collector to streaming more and more.

[@tmacnavyseal4789]

everything I own I watch but with Netflix for one squid games or stranger things comes with 99 shows that are not watchable why pay for that situation and waste time and money .

[@mechanicmike7954]

I love how these comments are like american politics. A 2 party system. Either streaming or physical media. Ever thought about the fact that there are more options than just these 2? Like files on local storage? Large SSDs you own. Filled with terabytes of movies in amazing quality. It is PHYSICAL media you own. nobody can take it away from you. Hardware to play a file won't ever be discontinued. optical disc players will be some day. No internet needed. No ads. No shitty quality. BluRay quality including all the bonus features you get on the disc. Just without the disc. And even more secure since you can back up your files. DVDs and BluRays are preferable to streaming IMO. But SSDs are just more convenient. I can loan a movie to a friend too. and I don't have to worry that they scratch the disc. infact most of my (adult) friends don't even have a physical media player anymore. also I don't want to sacrifice all that space for physical media. Streaming sucks. And if you like your physical boxes and cover art that's fine. But I think local storage is the way to go.
