Please speak to SDS/Universal/Dreamworks Animation to release their traditionally animated movies in 4k. They did a good job with Prince of Egypt. Same love needed for Spirit: Stallion of Cimmaron and others. Thanks

[@iidreddiipsn4720]

Any reason you heard of as to why you still cannot pre order True Lies, The Abyss or Aliens 4k on Amazon US store? Also does Aliens and Abyss 4k come with the extended editions? I pre ordered on B&N but if Amazon has it cheaper I'd love to go through them.

[@sethm.woodiwiss786]

@iidreddiipsn4720 One movie two cuts. They both have theatrical and extended. I would also like to know why you can order from just about every major retailer but Amazon?

[@Ghostrealmz]

​@iidreddiipsn4720 also,,,does anyone know what studio is releasing the abyss 4k?

[@GGxKiwi]

Physical media is dead. Bury it.

[@Brandtlysboxes]

Just as long as physical media keeps coming out I will keep getting it.

[@KathleenHolland-nk8nk]

Same here! Me too! 😊🙋‍♀️

[@carloscaal4551]

Aye, same here as well.😊

[@weldonyoung1013]

And you can still look to the second-handle market or online to find titles to fill out your collection.

[@dubya85]

Concrete and steel is used a lot more than brick and mortar

[@pedrochevez2090]

Well, I guess that’s a massive goodbye to Best Buy for me. The only reason I ever kept going WAS for movies because they always more variety than Walmart or Target.

[@idiot_city5444]

Gotta buy a fridge or TV every year now lol

[@1enhanced1]

​@@idiot_city5444i got all my appliances from lowes because it was cheaper. Walmart has cheap tvs.

[@badboy-gn8fu]

Same

[@davidhoefelman4879]

Jeff, your good sense is a welcome fact. Keep up the good work. You and Heath are a refreshing addition to the utube world. Thank you.

[@dishsoap1]

Yep. 80% of my annual business with them was movies. Their loss. I am disappointed though. I’d rather see Target and Walmart get out before them.

[@sebastiandragonheart]

My experience with Best Buy the last few years has been that they seem to want to do everything in their power to make you not want to give them money.

[@AJ9302]

I'm from the UK and over here Physical Media is going very strong last year 2023 was it's best year with sales and people are buying more and more 4k blu rays witch is great.

[@weldonyoung1013]

What a world of difference. I'm in Canada, wishing I could play Blu-Ray & DVDs from the U.K. What great prices you have !

[@gavinwolves2528]

Yes Indeed I have bought a lot of 4k in the last year and live in the UK also. Plus we have the amazing second sight and arrow video exclusives as well.

[@badgastein2]

UK has great 4K prices - Bullet Train steelbook is £9.99 today at Zavvi.

[@BillsOldandNewGaming]

Same although I only have HMV in my town along with cex and a couple of independents for 2nd hand stuff. Its great that HMV prices are the same as their online store so I do a mix of both. Only got a dedicated 4k player this year and picked up about 30 4k titles whereas before I hadn't bought a brand new blu for years. 4k has really grabbed me very much like when dvd's came out.

[@minusthejer]

I'm from the US and spent half of last year in the UK and went in a number of stores that had such a better selection than most of our big box stores in the US. I was tempted by a lot of the Arrow stuff that were UK exclusive.

[@mike_the_mouse_offical]

Im so happy to see physical finally coming back with more people getting into it!

[@astrosjer822]

My local Beat Buy’s had stopped carrying CD’s and movie’s about 5 years ago. Now it appears to be nationwide. Best Buy used to be a physical media monster…..they will be gone in 5 years, I predict.

[@ralphkranchick4595]

With my surround sound, there is noooo comparison between the physical media and streaming. I will always buy/watch physical media when I can as it sounds so much better! Thank you for this great video!!!

[@MyFireVideos]

Thanks for the update, Jeff! My local library rents out 4K discs for $1/week! So far they have bought every movie I've requested of them. Everyone, ask your local library too!

[@robertt9342]

Wow, that's really amazing

[@MyFireVideos]

@@robertt9342 yeah! It's been really nice. It reduces my blind buys

[@timpage9424]

That's incredible. My library gets the occasional Blu-ray but it's still mainly barely watchable DVDs. 😂

[@Prod.MacJones]

My library has no charge for borrowing Blurays or DVDs, and you can take like 10 for a week. The only time you pay is if you are late to return them, but you can call or go online and extend your time for an extra week if you really want to. They get new titles weekly, and will get anything you request too. I bet a lot of people just don't know their library does this, I didn't for the longest time.

[@cazschiller]

Great recommendation! They should get back in especially for the big titles and classics

[@BrianSmith-lj6ug]

Where I live I have poor Wi Fi coverage and the only way I can watch a movie is on physical media,I'm so glad you champion it.

[@Bozlee22]

The ending of Leave the World Behind proves the importance of Physical Media. LOVED that part

[@zuffin1864]

We really need Sony or LG, somebody to release a $100 4k HDR player. That's always been the price to get the masses on board

[@DP12321]

Panasonic UB420 was pretty cheap this past Christmas season. 🎄

[@RyanDabrowskiBoilerUp]

I will agree cheaper is always better, it’s just that for them to release a cheap 4k blue ray player, it wouldn’t be able to support most of todays blue ray formats, with Dolby vision, and Dolby Atmos, or HDR 10 and DTS:X on the disc…

[@dishsoap1]

I think 200 on a player is not bad. But that’s me. Plus both game consoles are capable. I think issue is just people love to stream and video and audio quality is not a big deal. DVD was huge cause streaming didn’t exist.

[@zuffin1864]

yea i can agree that price point isn't bad, i just remember seeing $100 bluray players not that long ago, and bundles with great movies. I just don't see much intent to increase sales from big box stores at times, and that is the real issue @@dishsoap1

[@shoopypit4884]

Can't even get people to buy a 15 dollar Blu Ray player from a thrift store. People wanna stream or watch DVDs.

[@robertt9342]

Meanwhile in Canada… Walmart is dropping physical media in many stores, bestbuy is getting out of it, we have no target or BN.

[@Ghostsprey]

If you have one near you, there's Sunrise Records. But yeah, kinda grim outside of small local stores.

[@robertt9342]

@DefinitiveLove . Being discontinued there too

[@mike-lf8qu]

In canada it's just amazon or best buy for time being

[@jgill1064]

Sunrise and Cinema1 are still carrying physical discs, depending where you live in Canada

[@RyanMcKennaGosling]

Toys R Us in Canada is bringing back HMV again just like what they did with Hudson's Bay with bringing back Zellers. I know that Indigo had recently selling vinyls, but I do hope they make a deal with Criterion to sell their titles in Canada like what Barnes and Nobles in the States were doing.

[@emattdat10]

I keep telling my friends and family, I work for a major cable company here in Texas. I tell them, then yes you stream your movies but when the cable goes out or they pull a movie from their platform, what then???

[@badboy-gn8fu]

I learned that the hard way

[@HelloJoseph83]

I wish they could release a physical version of a movie first before releasing the digital version. Like the old days. I wonder how that would affect the business model. Maybe it would help boost sales before putting it on a streaming service. They’re not making money on streaming anyway. Might as well try the old model again.

[@vforillo]

Been collecting for years now, have over 1700 Blu-ray/4K movies, will continue to purchase remasters and new releases as long as they fit my need

[@rig-zag]

Thank God I live within 20 minutes of a Bullmoose. There's something about browsing for physical media in person that's just better than shopping online.

[@badboy-gn8fu]

Being on a shelf is better than being online bc films can be difficult to find online

[@user-si9fx4xb6v]

Same here, Bull Moose has tons of movies, and tv shows on physical media and a much better variety than any of the big box stores currently have.

[@geovanimontoya3003]

Physical media came in clutch yesterday when my internet service was out for almost 24 hours which basically turned my smart tv into a dumb tv and my cable box into a brick. Cell reception was also rarely at 2 bars even though I pay for premium 5G+ service. It’s safe to say for rural areas physical media is still an option that shouldn’t go away anytime soon. Thanks for keeping us informed Jeff.

[@Bier-money]

I illegally downloaded movies back in 2011 and was obsessed. I have a terabyte hard drive with probably 1000 movies that I bring out occasionally in those no internet situations. They aren’t all the best quality but at least I have them when needed.

[@rig-zag]

A freak storm knocked out power to my area for almost a week and internet for almost 2 1/2 weeks so my blu-ray library came in handy for everyone I know.

[@mr.pangetako]

Exactly. I bring my physical discs whenever I rent a cabin for the weekend. Internet service in this area sucks big time. It’s always buffering.

[@badboy-gn8fu]

Bro i live in the city and my Internet and phone collection sucks

[@Mclaren1976]

Sadly our Walmarts in Canada has changed this week. They’re reducing the footprint by 75%. Sad times really.

[@jerryrpettus1926]

My biggest problem with Walmart is that my Walmart has very little blu-ray and 4k titles, instead opting for a wide variety of DVD's. The only option I have for instant gratification is to drive one hour into the nearest large city to purchase there. It's very frustrating.

[@christ1904]

Here in the uk we have a Film and Music outlet called HMV. The one at Bluewater shopping mall is always busy and popular. There were a lot more HMVs scattered around the country unfortunately a lot shut down but the ones we have left thrive. Also we have a second hand electronics store called CEX, some of the films you can pick up there is crazy, I’ve picked up some rare gems on blu ray

[@donbrider1316]

My HMV has just reduced their 4K section and put them out with just white spine covers to take to the till. Asked today why? was told shoplifting ............ great kill browsing. GET BETTER SECURITY OR MOVE IT NEARER THE COUNTER NOT STUCK IN THE CORNER. As you can guess....... bit pissed off.

[@paul8926]

After purchasing a brand new Sony 4K Blu-ray player, I decided to purchase 4K discs at Best Buy and Target. I was shocked how small the DVD/Blu-ray section was, almost to non-existent. Now, I have to purchase online…very sad to discover this. I really hope physical media will have a comeback, because watching 4K discs is so much more richer and satisfying to view than streaming.

[@rileykgardner]

I want to my Walmart today and it was a disgrace. In a 40 mile radius, only one store had the steelbook section. My fear is that with Walmart most of us will be stuck with their preorders and shipping. My Walmart physical media section doesn’t even have the one row of movies. Point is that Walmart is very inconsistent from store to store. This concerns me. I should not have to drive past 10 Walmart stores to get to the store that has a proper physical media section.

[@91JRH]

Here in The Netherlands, they decreased a lot of physical media for movies and series. In Media Markt stores they sold a lot of movies and series on blu ray, 4K and DVD, but since 2021 I believe they scaled it down! Now their is only a small department for physical media😢😢. For the last 10 years, a lot of stores have disappeared that sold physical Media. Media Markt is at least the only store nowadays here that sell physical media. What do I miss the old glory days of the blu ray films and series since the coming of the PS3.

[@thelastmelon9446]

Here in the UK i went to a Tesco superstore and they didn't have a single DVD or blu ray for sale. Not even a section for video games. I was very disappointed

[@petemarshall3512]

I’m also in the UK and somehow found myself in a big WH Smith recently for the first time in years, and I remembered they used to have a decent physical media section. Not anymore - one small shelf of DVDs, not even blu rays and certainly not 4K. In terms of physical shops to browse in for physical media in the UK, it’s all about HMV now.

[@sorenpx]

Best Buy getting out of the physical media game is really unfortunate. They always had good prices and I would much rather go to Best Buy than go to Walmart. Now that they are dropping Blu-Rays, I have no reason to go to Best Buy anymore. Aside from a few very rare exceptions, movie purchases are the only reason that I've gone to Best Buy for the last 10 years.

[@sethm.woodiwiss786]

Dido!

[@mataiguana5]

Someone pulled the wrong call, it's been always my thoughts. Something was cooking, likewise inside Disney but one got it wrong the other got it right.

[@sorenpx]

@@mataiguana5 It's quite sad, really. I really remember going to Best Buy in the late 2000s and the movie section was huge. But over time it has been slowly whittled down until, apparently, now it will be completely nonexistent. I hate seeing something I love just die off like that.

[@georgestephens4054]

I may have said this before but the best buy i go too, they still have 3 full sections for movies, I will check with the manager to see if they will this

[@dana7340]

My issues with streaming is the ever increasing price & having to hunt from one platform to another to watch something (waste of time). And my other big issue is censoring movies & just eliminating stuff for tax write-offs. I saw that and began collecting my favorites again. Also our internet kinda sucks so buffering is a part of each movie.

[@markdaniels388]

Can you tell me the release date of killers of the flower moon on 4K?

[@WRNFILM]

Man, the Barnes and Noble near me just got rid of their physical media section. Happy to hear Walmart will be picking up the Best Buy slack.

[@Elemental_Entity]

"You will own nothing and be happy." That is the goal.

[@tylerking93]

Do you think physical media could benefit from lower, regular prices? I’ve noticed a lot of older movies that are still in print are often more expensive than some other more recent releases.

[@JeffRauseo]

Good question. Probably, yes, but these prices are historically low. Laserdiscs would sell for $50 in the 90s. That’s like $100 in today’s money. So the price is pretty good for a lot of stuff. I think if they can get new releases to sit at 15/20/25 for DVD/Blu-ray/4K, that’s a sweet spot.

[@redrock425]

I think that's because the older stuff is often better and in demand. So many poor new titles.

[@robertt9342]

@@JeffRauseo . The laser disc is a bad example, those were far more expensive to produce than even a low production run niche title. VHS were less expensive than those early on and this cost much more to manufacture too. I do agree with you new release pricing. I do think old 4K should be more regularly found between $10-15.

[@jeremydrew1227]

​@@JeffRauseoexactly. People tend to forget that VHS originally sold for $99 and that's why rental stores popped up.

[@ForEternia]

​@jeremydrew1227 Good point. I remember wanting my own copy of Terminator 2. And the asking price was $99.99. This is before it became readily available in retail stores. Pretty odd that the studios didn't think people would want to own their own copy.

[@deafmouse-]

My Walmart here in Canada has already cut their physical media section to basically nothing

[@Addiction-Therapy]

They want to push physical media sales but keep raising the prices. 4 X 4k blu rays used to cost me £40-50. Now they are £24.99 each. 4 X 4K blu rays now cost £100. They need to lower prices to continue to attract an audience.

[@gavinwolves2528]

This is interesting Jeff in the UK we only really have HMV as the main bricks and morter location that sells blu ray 4k etc and the new release date is on a Monday so it will be interesting to see if they go bi weekly also. I do think that physical media is getting more recognized of late so let's hope it has a proper resurgence like vinyl.

[@willianaleman6114]

Thank you for the informative update. Because streaming services are pushing into adding advertisements to their screenings, it will make it possible for movie lovers to buy more physical media, Ironically, streaming services were born against TV ad programming based on having screening free of advertising; Phephas, screening services are giving themselves gunshots in the foot.

[@idiot_city5444]

It's weird that Target now has more books than movies lol and it's in the electronics section too. At least all the ones near me. I love books but it's just odd to see, most are either kid books or romance novels too lol. Odd times

[@HoofKicker]

dont forget about manga now.

[@LEGOCAMARO]

So how will this affect blu ray players? If companies make less physical then who to say dvd player company’s to slow down on upgrades or stop completely. Eventually just making streaming boxes

[@NinjaRunningWild]

*I wouldn’t count on Walmart.* My local Walmarts have _significantly_ reduced their physical movie selection. The $5 bins are completely gone & the movie aisle, which was both sides, has been consolidated down to a single side of that aisle. Target had a small section that’s been reduced to an end cap. Online & used stores might be the only places going forward.

[@idiot_city5444]

I think with Walmart it just totally depends on each location. I do Uber so I'm around my city a ton and stop at a lot of them to check out the movies and some have an insane amount of isles packed and with multiple $5 bins, and some have basically none.

[@shooter86-uw8ce]

​@idiot_city5244 it is based on location We have a huge section at my local Wal-Mart More $5 bins then ever Dvd, bluray,4K,CD, Vinyl, video games etc

[@kurtshastany1945]

Are you complaining about only having 75/100 options at any one time at walmart?

[@metalbrainmextrememetalent6810]

My Walmart isn’t too bad. It has like 3 solid rows and a few small shelves for movies. There’s no $5 bins, but there’s some cheap movie bundles as cheap as $10.

[@richellebrittain2127]

There were news reports a few months back that Walmart wanted to buy SDS from Universal & WB to coordinate physical media distribution from all the studios. Is that happening?

[@claytonmoore2091]

Just wondering, if an attempt by the studios to revive this will be enough to keep the concept of physical media alive generally. The ecosystem in physical media for independent video producers (outside of entertainment content) is pretty much gone already. So its worth asking what will the support for physical media writ large be down the road when the support for advanced disk authoring thats been gone for years now is only in the hands of people who master disks for the studios. Not just Blu Ray1080 but UHD, software, burners and more.

[@greg1263]

I can't imagine buying my physical media from Walmart. The occasional find, sure, but for them to be the major source of physical media is disheartening. Have you seen how their physical media is treated and mulled over by customers? Not well. It's manhandled so much that corners are dented, scratches are often on the slip cases, and you can hear the discs bouncing around the inside of the case. Good luck finding acceptable copies of media there.

[@SuperSaiyanBroku]

Walmart doesn't sell 4k movies anymore only upto blu ray

[@mataiguana5]

Been following the release of Trick or Treat but nothing new has came up. According to Vinegar a 4k was expected late 2023 early 2024, but have not found any updates.

[@Markimark151]

I really want these big box stores like Walmart and especially Target to continue selling physical media in their stores for at least new releases! I went to Target in December, they still have one aisle of DVD/Blu Rays, but no more 4K blu rays, which I understand they’re not selling well at Target stores. They should focus on regular Blu rays and DVD combo packs, because those are selling lots of copies to justify new releases.

[@AB-7526]

I enjoyed Black Friday sales of Movies at Best Buy 😢

[@windownpc39]

I’ve been having a blast collecting films the last few years. Your channel inspired me to do it. And this video rocks. Thanks for making it.

[@steveyoung627]

I have transitioned back to blu rays cuz my streaming isn't always reliable dur to internet connection.

[@legendofhayden]

all my local Walmarts’ physical media sections are a MESS with torn slips, dented steelbooks, and scratched covers. I don’t trust Walmart much when it comes to discs

[@lchines2845]

Just want to say, I’m really glad I found your channel. I had been collecting physical media up u till about 2016(mainly due to a change in my living situation) Stopped for a while, and around summer 2023 started getting back into it. It’s been really cool seeing how the community has shifted in the just 7 years. I’ve mostly been buying from boutique labels(my favorites been arrow and criterion). I’ve been trying to keep up with releases and online stores, and your channel has been a great resource on seeing how this market and community continues to shift. Keep up the great work!

[@thomasvinelli]

Walmart in my area has a very small area for movies.right now.

[@rosscutler8347]

I’m in the uk the physical media situation at the moment reminds me of when vinyl was stopped and people missed it so it’s comeback and has a big following here I’m loving all the special editions at the moment you can see they have spent time and put a lot of love into the restorations not only giving us atmos and dts x soundtracks but on some titles the original theatre tracks so we get to hear it how it would of sounded and I also love the extras you get like postcards scripts original poster art etc

[@MasterChef-official]

not related but can we get help on psychical games

[@EqualOpportunityDestoroya]

It seems nothing os at Best Buy, I was looking for a synthesizer and they didn't have any.

[@OnlineAFK]

My local Walmart in Canada is my only option and they haven't had a new release since Barbie. Pretty slim pickings. Amazon Canada is not much better, with them not even getting new releases and third party sellers are ripping people off at $50 per bluray.

[@masonteague4039]

As long as they keep making physical media i will still be getting them

[@Ghostrealmz]

I just wanted to say thanks so much Jeff for the whatnot order! The bonus goodies were awesome ! Al

[@christopherleclaire3930]

My Walmart supercenter does not stock 4K except a couple new releases that’s it

[@joegiammatteo]

I’ll believe it when I see it with Wal Mart. My local WM is nothing but bare shelves in the physical media sections.

[@djchapin2006]

Thank you for sharing. Also, my biggest concern it's the way Walmart has been shipping their steelbooks. They have been using plastic white envelopes, which its not good at all.

[@994pt4]

Hell yeah...physical media is the FUTURE!

[@james_kettle5959]

I'm visiting NYC in a few weeks from the UK and am wondering if anyone knows of any good places that still stick 4K blu rays? I'm looking to save on a few import fees 😂

[@fountainwell49man65]

In the UK we can rely on HMV.

[@Psycopat]

Great update!!! Thanks for the info and thanks for your hard work and advocacy 🙏🙏🙏

[@nateallen9417]

As a best buy employee upset about the loss of physical media. I talked to some people about what's happening and they said that they "rent" their movies until bought, and whatever goes unsold will go back to the distribution center until mid May/June for online purchases then after May/June they're out of the game

[@SilentCanary]

I just joined the hobby, I’m now stable enough to start fully diving into purchasing movies and equipment. What does everyone recommend for a Blu-Ray player? I’m thinking of starting off there and then slowly upgrade my favorite DVDs to Blu-Ray.

[@TheOriginalFuzz]

Thanks Jeff. Good information, some of which I hadn't about heard yet. Appreciate it.

[@thejman3489]

Has Killers of the Flower Moon Blu-Ray ben delayed? I can't find it in wallmart or target.

[@bri4117]

Any word on Andor season 1 on 4k disc ?

[@TigerTT]

Not just physical media but alot of stuff at Bestbuy is changing. I just went to my local one over the weekend and they literally had more movies than bluetooth speakers lmao. The audio aisle was completely baron aside from the big party speakers.

[@weldonyoung1013]

But what about the longer term? Will formats change, what about players? Will software be available to use CPs whan dedicated players are no longer available? I've already go thousands of DVD-Rs I need to find a player for.

[@theboundless05]

The only movie I've seen walmart have the bluray and 4k for in months was Trolls. I can't find any of the movies actually on my list, and online shopping is always a gamble.

[@sigfigs]

Jeff, I consider your channel a valuable resource when I need an honest opinion buying movies. I have been debating if I should sell my old DVD and CD collections. The issues with not owning the content and the ongoing upheaval in the entertainment industry has made my decision easier. Now I only buy movies when I want to upgrade to Blu ray or 4K. I appreciate your reviews since they help narrow down the decision making process. It's difficult to wade through all of the marketing and hype sometimes. Thanks again.

[@jessechristensen6028]

I mean the switching to release every fortnight I think is the move to give stuff more time for titles to clear shelves and for people to get it in time with their paycheck’s. I don’t know outside of the US, but here people typically get paid every two weeks.

[@stujoker]

Thanks for everything your doing pushing physical media and sounds good news going forward!

[@djCaliKev]

Thanks for these updates. I'm happy that physical media is still moving forward. And I don't mind that they'll be releasing biweekly. I also saw Walmart prepping a few racks for their physical media. They're having a line of steelbooks coming in.

[@CDubya.82]

Ability to permanently borrow from streaming services combined with as much physical media I can get means I have what I want to watch and when I want to watch it.

Great video. Thanks! Do you think one should pick up a “spare” 4K player at this point? There only seems to be 2-3 manufacturers left. Can I find a Sony or Panasonic a year or two from now? Their models date back some 5-6 years now.

[@chriskelly1740]

I'm glad I was able to put expanding my collection on hold until I got my new 85-inch Sony Bravia XR85X90CL 4K UHD TV without the format disappearing. I have the TV, am learning more about how to use it with 4K Blu-rays, and enjoying every moment of the journey. I just started adding to my collection again and am glad I'll still have plenty of opportunity to continue doing so.

As a Europeen with a multiregion player, I always buy US 4Ks when visiting US, was sad to see the Best Buy and Target in Mission Valley San Diego had no movies available. The staff just said, why dont you buy online. Yeah, I do, however I have always appreciated to be able to browse when in the store and bring back home.. :(

[@11ThreeDoctor]

no reason to ever shop at beast buy, which I haven’t shopped at since 2012

Thanks for the info man, you’ve been in the game a long time it’s good to see you getting your props.

[@brocinco]

I have streaming services for everyday watching. But started collecting physical media for our friday night movie or when we really want to sit down and enjoy a movie. Ive been upgrading my home setup since finding your youtube videos, and now my wife and i never go to the movies. We just wait for the 4k and enjoy it at home. No stranger texting or chewing loud ruing our movie.

[@bicyclelife7088]

Streaming is removing stuff, and people are realizing they don't actually own anything. It disappears..and people start to want to own something. There is also the quality issue. I buy lots of foreign films and anime and it either doesn't exist on streaming or I can't read the Subtitles because of poor bandwidth.

[@chillindylan6497]

There are so many awesome 4K movies coming out over the next few months! I have quite a few preorders lined up; it's going to be great.
