when I had steady income, yes

yup, most people I know barely watch anything that isn't just shoved onto Netflix for their consumption but I have a huge collection of DVDs with things I'd otherwise never see on there. I still largely stick with DVDs over blurays too because for that same reason most people don't even have bluray players unless they own a PS3 and part of owning the real thing is the ability to share it with friends and everybody still has a DVD player kicking around somewhere.

That must explain the lack of funds for commas and other such punctuation

congratulations, you're that guy.

I collect (you)'s

Now fuck off back to 9gag

I used to, but I stopped like 3 years ago or so. I still have a huge collection from over the years, though. Actually I don't really watch any new movies or TV shows anymore, pretty much just sports during the day and whatever old movie or sitcom reruns are on cable at night. I only come to Sup Forums for the funposting now that Sup Forums is shit.

what are some of the most obscure things you own on physical media?

Elena, an earlier film by the guy who made the 2014 Russian leviathan. I won it in a contest.

Otherwise I'd have to say my life of Brian Criterion DVD, which afaik is out of print

Just film wise I would say the most obscure blu ray I own would have to be a Criterion, so I'll pick A Man Escaped

tough call because I have a lot of stuff that is old and TV shows that may be known but most people might not think of ever owning so if I had to choose one then I guess I'll go with this.

It's about a school where they take their stamp collecting damn seriously so much that this kid deals stamps in the playground like they're drugs. They find a magic one which transports them inside the stamp's artwork to travel to where ever the letter its affixed to is addressed.

Anything Criterion is nice. I have a few like Life Aquatic, Stray Dog and the Zatoichi box set.

>I collect (you)'s
cool, how many more do you need before you can trade them in for a digital watch?

about ten DVDs a year until a few years ago, and now about 5 blu-rays a year since. I still have all the good pre-millennium stuff on about 150 archived videotapes.

Never once. I hate clutter and physical media is clutter.
>you can have an entire shelf worth of movies
>or a 3 foot by 2 foot nas
The choice has always been simple for me.

Look if you're my polar opposite and a den mother of some sort fine but it's not for me.

>videotapes
the cool kids use RCA video discs.

>physical media is clutter
physical media is equity my friend, digital is just flushing money down the toilet. Even more importantly physical media is power, power of ownership over an item to use as you desire without some corporate overlord like Netflix or YouTube dictating terms to you.

Should i buy the movies ive owned forever on dvd and vhs for bluray or 4k memeray? Is there any examples where the older tech releases are superior?

Did you miss the part where I have a NAS filled with local content?

Only steelbooks

Just laserdisc had a slight technical edge over DVD

Blu ray is honestly the minimum bar for permanent home entertainment releases that will never look "bad"

I'm saving 4k for when it becomes affordable

yes. arrow, criterion, second run and soda get all my monies.

I've had Star Wars on LaserDisc for a few years now and I bought a nice player on craig's list to play it. (I try to watch every 25th of May)

So it'll be the government eventually bringing the hammer down on you on behalf of the corps instead the corps directly.

I didn't say laserdisc, I said videodisc. Unlike laserdiscs which use a laser videodiscs use a needle to get audiovisual information from a type of high density records.
