    Best Buy To Exit Physical Media Business In 2024

    My Target is similar. CD/vinyl quantity is close to DVD/BD here. At this point there might actually be more CDs than Blu-rays.

    Best Buy To Exit Physical Media Business In 2024

    Some folks might be remembering past excuses with big box electronic stores and not giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt. And perhaps justifiably. For example, their true intent might be to close the stated number of stores but not actually open any new, smaller ones - that part might just...

    Variety article on demise of DVD: estimates sales will fall below $1B in 2024

    Judging by article excerpts and thread comments, it sounds like nearly everyone is saying "DVD" as a catch-all for discs. I'm not sure this story refers to DVD alone and not also Blu-ray.

    You're missing The Narrow Margin, my #1 grail now that A Day at the Races is out. The screenplay by Earl Felton was nominated for an Oscar. :)

    Disney & Sony Ink Deal For Sony To Take Over Disney's Physical Media Production

    There's a lot of speculation in this thread alone. Interpretations being stated as fact.

    Kino-Lorber Insider Announcement Thread (Read Guidelines Post #3)

    I asked earlier in this thread (I think) and the answer seemed to be that she wasn't going to do one for any of her films. No reason was given.

    Thank you. As a nearly twenty year veteran of this forum, I don't appreciate being insulted like that. Especially twice in a post seemingly written only for that purpose.

    You're welcome to your opinion, even if your entirely reply is subjective. And my opinion is that if you believe single discs will crawl us to a complete collection before becoming unprofitable - something that never happened in home video even during its heyday in the 2000s - you're being...

    Well, let's really compare the cost of a large set to the likelihood of finishing the series one disc at a time. I would guess all 1,000 cartoons could fit on a set of about 20 or 30 Blu-rays, which is large but not unprecedented and certainly wouldn't be $1,000 SRP. How many more Collector's...

    If this is the case, and George is full steam ahead on Looney Tunes, and so much Looney Tunes has already been restored in HD... I wonder if a complete collection may be possible someday. Do we know how many Looney Tunes cartoons have been fully restored in HD, going back to the Platinum...

    Press Release Warner Archive Collection Press Release: A Day At The Races (1937) (Blu-ray)

    I love both eras of Marx Bros films. The Paramount films have an undeniable kinetic quality, but can sometimes feel like a series of comedy setpieces with less focus on building out rewarding story (especially the earlier ones). The MGM films have added songs and production values that make them...
